Huh. He’s a better IWTV Champion than Krule, at least.

Bailey vs Cheeseburger

I figured, but this might be better.

 

[909]

I will never be at a better match than this main event for the rest of my life.

 

[909]

It was Bandido vs Vikingo vs Black Taurus. I couldn’t even begin to describe the spots they’ve did for two reasons. One being that I’ve never seen these spots and the second being that my explanations wouldn’t be believable.

I’m sure Meltzer will do a whole thing about this match.

He's underselling how funny this was. He also kicked this dude who was getting way too close

That’s terrible. Those drawings are terrible, why did they display them at all. Were they for sale? What a weird thing.

 

[JHawk]

I want to know why the referee set the dude on fire

 

[Hawk 34]

There was a guy on fire?

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

That makes ICW:NHB look like WWE. Shane Mercer deserves (marginally) better!

 

[JHawk]

There was a guy on fire?

If you look closely at the first second of the clip, the referee is backling away from them just after he lights the dude's back up.

 

[Hawk 34]

Yeah I know, im not acknowledging these idiots. I’m more genuinely curious about the terrible drawings on the wall.

Like was the intent to be like WM22 with the portrait banners hanging, or was this fan art they were selling. So many questions.

This signing seems to have been made with the specific intent to piss off @Laz .

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

I would be if MLW was even in my radar still.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

I won’t stop tagging you when MLW does something bad and/or dumb though.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Ospreay: hey mate. Can you get me an opponent that is even more annoying than me?
1PW promoter: we got you, fam.

Happy retirement to NWA On Fire ROH Great Ricky Reyes.

If I get paid this bonus, and I fucking should, I will somehow get to the Prestige show coming up that CanadianChick is on and remind her of roots. I won't know for a few days but I'm really hoping I can get there.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

tell her you’re @cobainwasmurdered

 

[Valeyard]

Kinetic.

 

[alkeiper]

Tell her you're Portia Perez

 

[Valeyard]

I don't find out until Friday if this money is coming so I'm trying to temper my expectations. I haven't been to a show in a looooong time, am finally in a wrestling city where it's even an option, and it just makes me oddly happy a poster is on the card. We almost had a conversation on AIM one time.

Maybe I'll be Czech.

 

[One Epic Winter (OEW)]

It's been awhile since I've been to an indie show too. Last time was 2017 where Jake Roberts appeared and Lio Rush main evented.

 

[Valeyard]

I think mine might've been seeing Joey Ryan was running a show across the street from the bar and I were in. Date went very poory and I can now admit I drunkenly wandered into a Joey Ryan show and remember exactly nothing beyond cock and the bathroom line.

 

[BruiserBrody]

I will be viewing Brew City Wrestling as part of the the Midwest Gaming Classic video game convention in Milwaukee on April 1st. That will be my first indy since the last MGC con I attended.
Last year they used Hornswoggle's group, but this is a different batch. I guess they have to keep the peace amongst east coast Wisconsin indy groups.
It's a free show that just part of the con package deal.

 

[alkeiper]

I don't know who had it first, but there's an indy wrestler named Rocket doing Sol Ruca's finisher better than Sol.

(1 hr 53 min in)

 

[One Epic Winter (OEW)]

I think out of all the NXT women who aren't in the title scene, Ruca shows the most potential. She's still green as hell but is athletic as fuck.

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

had a lot of fun at NEW12. Show was completely sold out and we got there only a few minutes before start time and the lineup was literally around the block. We'd have had to be there like an hour or two earlier than that to get a seat so we ended up standing for 4 hours and jostling with drunk guys which wasn't great. Beyond that it was a lot of fun.

Nicky Wayne was on the show which I don't think was advertised. He opened with Travis Williams and they had a really great match that wouldn't have been out of place on Rampage or Dark or something.

CC was good in her match but it was about Miyu shining. The only match I thought really didn't work was Daniel Makabe and other guy having a technical match and it just lost the crowd.
