Josh Alexander had a great match with Kyle O'Reilly on the free show Rival Schools that SMASH has up on their website and also has been having really good matches on every SMASH card since then

SMASH is good, watch SMASH with me

They have a weekly show that's on youtube, right?

yes, although honestly I've never watched it and just watch their big shows

Josh Alexander is wrestling Biff at their next show and I'm sure that will be great

pretty god drat fat!

I was at this show, and him and Eddie beat the poo poo out of each other, but man, Hero really needs to switch to tights and a singlet top or something. Or maybe stop eating all the bacon.

So I know there are a few people from Toronto around here. Have any of you been to Smash? Apparently a bunch of their upcoming shows are going to be about 5 minutes from my place and I'm thinking of going. I don't know too much about them, but it looks like they get some pretty good talent. Hero/Ciampa should be pretty brutal.

they put on really good shows and they pull in a lot of outside talent to put on great matches. if I was closer to Toronto I would love to go

Well I can't imagine he got booked for April 3rd in less than a day. Did the phone call already happen, or are you just stumping for it? :v:

Speaking of PWG, they just added Chris Hero vs. Tommy End to the April 3rd card (which I guess makes sense, since he's in the States already for Mania weekend stuff), but they didn't call it a debut for End. Did he work PWG sometime in the past before I started following it seriously? I remember being shocked to find out Shane Haste worked in PWG years before TMDK started blowing up in NOAH.

if I remember correctly, he's worked PWG one or two times on their past tour of Europe

while we're talking about WWN their Saturday Night Supershow promises Galloway vs Gargano in a title unification match if and only if both retain their titles on Thursday. Does Gabe actually have the balls to welch on that and have someone drop their title on Thursday?

given the ending of the last show I honestly wouldn't be shocked if DAREWOLF takes the title from Drew. I don't think it's going to happen though

Is anyone other than WWN streaming wrestling on Mania weekend? Is ROH's Supercard of Honor going to be live on regular PPV like their last PPV?

I think it's just WWN, but that includes 2 EVOLVE shows (Thurs/Fri), Kaiju Big Battel (Friday), SHIMMER (Saturday afternoon), Mercury Rising (Sat), and King of Indies (Fri/Sat), though I'm not sure that King of Indies will be live. I think ROH will be on VOD

I'll make a thread later this week with all of these

Has anyone been following Smash Wrestling? The last show I went to was the one where Shelley cheated and won the title, but now I see he gave the title to Gargano or something? I am not sure I really understand what's going on with this angle.

I just watched the most recent show last night, so I think this is how it goes: some guy who got fired (Alex Vega, now known as TARIK) is trying to destroy SMASH by recruiting Gulak and Busick and winning matches a lot. some people are banding together to fight these guys and Gargano came out like he was going to be on their side but then turned on Matt Cross and SMASH. he then said that Shelley was his mentor and that he gave him the belt and he did all this because he was mad that Matt Cross beat him in a match and ended his undefeated streak. so they'll have a match at the next show for the belt

Hmm ok, thanks for the recap!

I had high hopes for Shelley as champ, I wonder if they had plans for him that fell through? Or if this was the plan all along?

Feels a bit convoluted to me, but maybe it's more clear if you're watching all the shows.

it's kind of weird because the announcers are selling it as this grave threat to the promotion and going "they're trying to kill us!" when it just seems like they're just winning matches in a dickish way
