Maybe tired? Maybe smaller? Tough to say since I missed the previous 3 shows at Wells Fargo. It was a lot of families, so perhaps the fans who'd traveled to Philly had already left (acknowledging 4 straight nights of shows in the same building is impossible to take in)? I agree that it was a...

(May)be I am. ;) Absolutely the WF is not the easiest to get to if you're taking public transit. A combo of trains and buses works, and the parking situation is strange. But we love it and it's the perfect size for a small indy to run a show. At least you're not fighting for south philly...

Wanted to post back in here to say I really really hope you guys start paying attention to CHIKARA (again?). Sooner than later is great, but definitely later this year.  ;)

Gordon Solie above all, but Lance Russell - how wonderful to be someone that *everyone* in the world seemed to remember fondly? In 2017, everyone is a piece of human garbage - google allows people to search, cherry pick, and use one incident to label a person's entire life. Lance was such a...

Watching R2 right now. Enjoyed some victors, sad about others. Of those I've never heard of prior to this tourney, suuuuper high on Toni Storm.

Well, you may see her in AAA still. Probably not anywhere else. :)

hahaha - yeah, there's been just too much great wrestling the last month. Gimmie some gimmicky bullshit tonight. :D I have strong thoughts on Tye and how the "10" chant actually hurts wrestling as a whole (not intentionally, mind) - but I gotta run off to a show, so I'll discuss that later!

Come out looking like a trust fund gentrifying hipster. Y'know - REAL HORROR.

I didn't get to see it since Monday is a training day and I was too busy this week to watch on DVR. The former is great storytelling, the latter, well...

I think giving fans the assurance that they'll see something rare/cool (the demon) is good promotion, even if it comes at the expense of it being a "surprise." There are better storytelling devices you could use to build to fans anticipating seeing the demon there, but sometimes you just gotta...

Corbin is young and I think very raw. His Battleground match w/ Nakamura was a severe, severe let down, and I think it says a lot about him as a performer. He has a good look and a great persona (rarely, if ever, showing himself to be a likeable "normal guy" - he does a great job of coming off...

Progress was excellent - went up on a lark when friends had a spare ticket. Of guys I wasn't familiar with, really impressed by Mark Haskins and WALTER. Watched the G1 Finals today. There was one return that made my heart three times its size, and it wasn't Lance Archer and Davey Boy Smith, Jr...

Great for Shibata - but Yoshihiro Takayama is in a very bad way after this weekend, unfortunately.

Ugh - I'm still about a week behind on shows (and since they run so often, that basically means I'm about 15 hours of footage behind.) The emergence of Juice Robinson as a wrestler the crowd respects for his fighting spirit is definitely one of my unexpected highlights this year. I suspect...

They were just at the OLE center for mania weekend. Did they say they weren't coming back?

There is so much good wrestling to consume for sure. I'm about two weeks behind on G1 Climax, and some of those matches have been fucking *bangers*. Was just at Beyond on Sunday and realize how some of these guys in the Evolve/Beyond/PWG/I'm sure I'm forgetting other promotions of their caliber...

It took me years to like Yano, but I'm currently really enjoying him. Been way too busy to catch up (I'm 4-6 shows behind), but this year's G1 can't be beat in terms of match quality. They're simply unparalleled. How many of you follow indy wrestling outside ROH? i.e. Evolve, Beyond, PWG, and...

Cheapies are down to $38 after fees on stubhub, so I think I'm gonna go. There's a certain charm about the punjabi prison match and the opportunity to see it live. I don't expect to see a mat classic, but that's not Mahal's style or Orton's style. It's going to be a spectacle more than a...

Discounts on the ticket prices, *yes*. Notsomuch on the fees, though. I'm stubborn about that sort of thing.

I'm super tempted to go, but cheapies for Battleground nearly double in price when fees are added in. A $25 ticket costs $48. That is, to borrow from Carlito, not cool.
