This is the face of a winner. This is what winning looks like.

Are you sure I'm winning the Rumble? That does'nt seem right.....

Catch people, you fuckers!

And that show sounds truly horrific, what the hell. And yeah, we have enough financial information to know Gabe is making ludicrous amounts of money considering. Wasn't there an investment deal that equaled out to being given like $35,000 per tiny indy show he ran? So he could run shows with the typical economics of an indy show, and just pocket that extra if he desired.

Apparently the rest of the crew have been in a car rental place overnight with no food, and are stranded in New York with no way to get to Boston

I'm not either, but a decent chunk of the crew (including Bate and Seven) was at Penn Station this morning, so I think everyone is on their way. Seeing them roll up while I was in line for my Amtrak (I'm going to Montreal for the week :toot:) was a particularly surreal cap to the last 12 hours.

wwn got 3.5m over 5 years. i forget the math about how many shows/year he promised, but don't forget that gabe is so cheap that he borrowed a bad ring in san antonio that nearly killed three wrestlers (and retired one) earlier this year. not to mention how little pushback he gets from flo about how low rent his shows look for the money they're paying him.

noted local NY wrestling jerk Darius Carter busted Pete Dunne's head open last night, requiring like 15 stitches, so Dunne's off the PROGRESS NYC & Boston cards this weekend :smith:

Throw Darius in with Ian Rotten and Nick Gage. Bet he'll go respectfully after that.

E: whoever setup this tour for PROGRESS deserves to be shot out of a cannon.

I'm now fully invested in seeing if the poo poo is visible on the VOD. how much poo poo is it? How visible is it? How do the people around the poo poo react? Do the wrestlers acknowledge the poo poo?

Somehow I get the feeling that match will be heavily edited.

It's really disheartening that the more I read, the shittier the situation seems to get for everyone (except Gabe, apparently). I had fun and really like going to Evolve shows, but :sigh:

I was wondering if anyone else has a subscription to the highspots network. I was thinking about trying it for a month or so. Anyone have any recommendations? I was planning on watching the Onita CZW show, the Brody documentary, and maybe some older CZW.

The last time someone got seriously injured on a PROGRESS show, they just cut the match entirely from the VOD. I imagine they'll do the same with this one.

I do and it's awesome.

Any AAW on there is worth watching. So is the stuff you listed already. And watch the 10 Years of Carnage documentary.

It's a great service and they're constantly adding stuff.

I feel like if there were anyone willing to do this Gabe wouldn't have been outside the PROGRESS Boston show to hand out flyers himself.

Also, short report, Beyond/PROGRESS Boston was really fun except for the loving 12 year old kid who cared more about getting himself over than anything actually on the card. I know my section at least was getting visibly annoyed with him.
