Why does Low-Ki cost the same price as flying in a star from Japan. A relevant star, and not an indy darling from 8 years ago.

If I was him and knew Gabe was desperate for someone, I'd milk him for all he's worth.

It's not even like Gabe has a history of not offering refunds, ticketholders were offered refunds for Unscripted II (the show CM Punk was brought in to replace Punk.) He just knows people would actually want refunds this time.


Punk replaced himself?

Jeff Jarrett's company is going to be called Global Force Wrestling.

It's...not a bad name I guess?

Last time Jeff Jarrett started a wrestling company, he called it TNA.

GFW at the very least is a company name you could say in public without being completely embarrassed.

Not if, instead of a belt, the top prize is a new compost bin.

That would be trademark, and copyright...and it's rather complex. If they used GFW as initials alone, they might. I'd have to see what class Microsoft's GFW is registered in at the USPTO.

Any goons up for meeting at Nardelli's before ISW? For any uncultured swine who don't know, Nardelli's is the best grinder shop in New England and thus the world. They have a location in Danbury which is probably five minutes from the venue.

You can buy either sandwiches or poker players at a grinder shop.

Next PWG show is May 23.

Adam Cole vs. Kyle O'Reilly - PWG World Title, must win by KO or submission

Cedric Alexander, Trevor Lee & Andrew Everett vs. Young Bucks & Steen

He's from North Carolina, actually. Does a lot of work for CWF. He's really good and only 20 year olds. His beard could use some work though.

In that case he must be a friend or frequent opponent of Andrew Everett, Everett started out in NC.

Yeah, there's a bunch of good dudes from that area. Lee's also done CZW, AIW, Wrestling is Fun, and some other indies in the last few months, so he's getting booked all over the place.

Our favorite stupid indie, 2CW, is having another iPPV in ten days. Sadly it isn't free. This is the card:

quote:

MAIN EVENT: FOR THE 2CW HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP: CAPTAINS MATCH: ELIMINATION AND/OR FIRST TO PIN THE CHAMPION
Capt. Nick Ando, 2CW Heavyweight Champion VS. Isys Ephex VS. Colin Delaney VS. Dalton Castle VS. Gregory Iron VS. Dick Justice

FIRST TIME EVER:
AJ Styles VS. Johnny Gargano

TAG TEAM ATTRACTION:
Unholy Alliance (Tajiri & Mikey Whipwreck) VS. AR FOX & Rich Swann

FIRST TIME EVER:
Matt Hardy VS. "Juggernaut" Jason Axe

ONE ON ONE:
Kevin Steen VS. Alex Shelley

FOR THE 2CW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP: GLADIATOR RULES (FANS IN TOGAS BRING THE WEAPONS):
Punisher VanSlyke & Kevin "The Man" Graham, 2CW Tag Team Champions VS. CK (Sean Carr & Kage), Challengers

ONE ON ONE:
Jay Freddie VS. Rionne Fujiwara

ONE ON ONE:
Yusuke Kodama VS. Cheech

SIX MAN TAG TEAM ACTION:
ZSIII & Electric Dream Machine ("Studly" Steve McKenzie & Guero Loco) VS. Bin Hamin, Eric Mohammed Timmins & Pete "Dirty Bomb" Order

Looks like a goodish card. That Steen vs. Shelley match should be good. Don't think I've ever seen them wrestle. Can't believe that Isys Ephex lost the belt though :(
