Any reports on Biggin's condition? I listen to their podcast and he's entertaining so I hope he's okay.

gently caress PWG tickets already sold out. I don't get why I didn't get them. I bought two tickets made it to check out and right when I hit pay at 8:01 it told me sold out.

They said he's in stable condition but will have ANOTHER (3rd) surgery next week. Whatever happened to him must have been some pretty horrible.

I don't know either. Haven't felt brave enough to ask. And kinda don't want to fully confront it if it is something really bad.

CWF is having a big tag team tournament over Friday and Saturday night plus a fanfest with matches on Saturday afternoon. Trevor Lee vs Chip Day for the Mid-Atlantic Championship Saturday night is going to be really great. Can't wait for all of it.

World of sport is back thanks to Jeff Jarrett and TNA

quote:

MANCHESTER | NASHVILLE – ITV Studios Entertainment Manchester announced today that it has teamed up with IMPACT Wrestling, a subsidiary of Anthem Sports & Entertainment Corp., to bring WOS Wrestling back to ITV, with an initial commission for a 10-part series.

The commission from ITV’s Helen Warner follows a successful one-off-special, which aired on New Year’s Eve 2016. The Executive Producers for ITV Studios are Tom McLennan and Simon Marsh. Jeff Jarrett, the Chief Creative Officer for IMPACT Wrestling, will be the Executive Producer for IMPACT Wrestling.

Thirty years after the original WOS ended – and legendary stars such as Big Daddy, Mick McManus and Rollerball Rocco left British screens – this new series will feature the very best of today’s wrestlers from the current red-hot U.K. wrestling scene.

They will compete in front of a live audience at the intimate Preston Guild Hall on Thursday 25th May and Friday 26th May (doors 7pm / bell time 7.30pm).

Tickets for these historic shows will go on sale at 9am on Friday 7th April from Gigsandtours.com / Ticketmaster.co.uk / prestonguildhall.co.uk

There will also be a launch event this Monday (27th March) at 2pm in Manchester, where the full details of the WOS live shows will be announced, including the roster. Press and fans are invited to attend to the launch, which will include a Q&A and meet & greet. Places are extremely limited, to reserve one please email wswaudience@itv.com

This initial commission is part of a comprehensive co-production agreement between ITV Studios and IMPACT Wrestling to relaunch the WOS Wrestling brand, bringing British stars to ITV while leveraging the roster and creative team of Impact Wrestling along with its expertise in live event production and international distribution.

“This opportunity to work with ITV Studios to revive this iconic brand in the United Kingdom is a perfect example of the ways in which we intend to leverage our strengths to build our presence in international markets in collaboration with local organizations,” said Ed Nordholm, President of Impact Wrestling.

Director of Entertainment, ITV Studios Manchester, Tom Mclennan said: “Britain’s wrestling scene is thriving and there has never been a better time to bring it back to ITV after a gap of 30 years.”

Jeff Jarrett, Chief Creative Officer for IMPACT Wrestling, added: “The WOS brand is etched in professional wrestling tradition. My family’s lineage in the industry dates back 70-plus years, so I am honoured for the opportunity to work on reviving the legacy of this historic British series.”

CWF knocked it out of the park this weekend. The fanfest was the most fun I've ever had at a show, and Trevor Lee vs Chip Day on Saturday night is now my current MOTY and top three matches I've seen live.

Sami Callihan worked 9 times over WM weekend. Man, he's really come alive since getting cut by WWE.

Edit: Pardon me, an even 10.

It was closer to 10 or 11. He said 9 at Beyond and still went out to work the FIP show after.

He really shouldn't have to be honest.

Honestly if his Twitter's any indication, he loving loves it. Good for him, always liked Sami, he had my favorite PWG match ever (Guerilla Warfare vs Drake Younger).

Sami is not one of my favourites, but fair play to him; he went absolutely all out in every match I saw, unlike many others.

He was an actual pro wrestler at one point, which does put him a step ahead of one of the biggest marks in the history of indy wrestling.
