drat they have something going on next weekend like 30 minutes from me but I am going to be out of town. That would be sick. I loved Team Xtreme back in the day.

Isn't Chikara supposed to be awesome? They have a show about an hour away next month. Ringside is 40 bucks...I might have to see if I can get a friend who is down. General admission is 20 bucks, but man I'm gonna go big and sit in the front row for 20 bucks more.

They still do really well but about 18 months ago or so they were seemingly aggressively expanding and were becoming a sister promotion with ROH.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.

I've been to a few Chikara shows and it's great just sitting in general admission, getting a second row seat, and not being dove on top of.

And most of the time you'll get warning, but sometimes not, like when Joey just dove headfirst into the front row immediately after a spinebuster at Black Cole Sun. The front row opposite hard cam is the most frequent place for dives though, for obvious reasons.

I guess it depends on promotion. At PWS in NJ when New Jack and Necro were going at it in the ring, officials came towards our section and told us to move back *NOW* before they spilled out over the guardrail. Probably due to there being weapons and PWS not wanting to get run out of town for someone in the crowd getting hurt. (They were run out of town anyway).

What is the best place to find a local wrestling show? I am in North Carolina if that matters. We were flipping through channels at a friend's house and some indie wrestling was on (no idea what) was on and we all decided we would go to a show if it was near us. All I can find googling is some lovely out of date websites. Is there some central site monitoring all the local organizations I am too stupid to locate?

Basically if Trevor Lee is booked, that's the show to go to. CWF Mid-Atlantic in the same location as the Chikara show you've already found is my top suggestion, but the Omega show that has been mentioned looks solid, I'm going, Trevor Lee and Mick Foley will be there.

That's heartbreaking. My first indie show was his first match. Dude was always the nicest whenever I met him at shows. I even remember being there for the Eddie Kingston match that made him where Kingston stiffed the everloving poo poo out of him and he kept getting back up. After the show, he was standing by the exit, flesh covered in purple, genuinely hoping people were entertained.

Overall, the show was pretty good but it went long. The main event seemed a little short. I think they realized that it was almost 11:30 when the main event went on so they cut it short.

New AIW champion: Josh Alexander with the help of Veda Scott. Crowd really wanted Rickey Shane Page to win though.

I was super bummed about Donst. When I saw him before the show last night I want up to him and said its nice to see him out of the hospital. He seemed to be alright. Then he makes that announcement. My heart sank. Dude loves wrestling so much and it's gone now.

I thought AIW show was great. The 2nd half was really good. I think the wrestlers needed to step it up after the Donst stuff and I thought they did.

I didn't see anyone buying Dennis Stamp's stuff sadly. Candice LeRae was selling homemade cupcakes that were amazing though. Those sold out pretty quick.

Apparently there's another promotion that runs Kingsport, NWA Smoky Mountain. They've got TV (that's also on YouTube) and their production values are about a million times higher than SSW. They look more like NECW. Might be worth mining for content.

I love when wrestlers sell oddball merch. April Hunter makes some bomb-rear end scented soy candles, Mistress Belmont sells hats that she crochets, Paige Turner's book sale looks fun. Solo Darling was offering "mystery bags" at WSU tonight inspired by the merch at various cons.

I've shown it before and it didn't really grab me, but with NECW running out it may end up on there. That or Talespin is on youtube so I might show Talespin. A libertarian hellscape where the oceans are prowled by air pirates and everyone is a talking animal is a worth successor to Cowboy Who?

Final card for PWG From out of Nowhere:

World Championship Title Match
Roderick Strong (Champion) vs. Trevor Lee (Challenger)

Tag Team Match
Monster Mafia (Josh Alexander & Ethan Page) vs. The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson)

Singles Match
Ricochet vs. Matt Sydal

Singles Match
Chris Hero vs. Drew Gulak

Tag Team Match
Beaver Boys (Alex Reynolds & John Silver) vs. Best Friends (Chuck Taylor & Trent?)

Singles Match
Cedric Alexander vs. Tommaso Ciampa

Singles Match
"Speedball" Mike Bailey vs. Biff Busick

Singles Match
ACH vs. AR Fox

I don't know if they're making this a throwaway show since they've already started to promote the April show (with good reason). Anyway, Ricochet/Sydal should be bonkers.
