Just woke up from a dream where I was scheduled to work an empty arena match with Nick Gage today and I’ve never been more relieved that it wasn’t reality

it’s crazy that Chikara was the place first US indie regularly doing intergender matches and no one said poo poo until Beyond tried chucking Kimber Lee into a ring post.

Chikara does mostly PG tongue in cheek comic book lucha wrestling though, I think there would have been some complaints if Icarus gave Daizie Haze a backdrop onto thumbtacks

IIRC the demonetization was due to the Cambridge Analytica fuckup more than anything. It was some deal where they overvalued videos to the point "pivot to video" became a meme.

Thats a different issue. YouTube decided wrestling (aside from WWE) wasnt advertiser friendly and made it much harder to get ad revenue off of wrestling YouTube videos.

They should really look in Columbus. I know he’s based in Cleveland but there’s a poo poo ton of fans around here and no Indy fed. Even the crappy ROH cards have always packed venues here and you’re drivable for fans in Cleveland, Dayton, Cincy, Akron.

just left the mlw taping in Chicago, it was great. sad about Joey Ryan's tittie tear, but I'm glad he was there at least. saw Marko stunt wrestle twice (oh my god he is so small), him and Ace Romero was a lot of fun. Tom lawlor and sami callihan had a lot of a street fight like five feet away from me which was cool. Sammy Guevara vs rush was great, pco vs Brody King was crazy, pco jumped off a loving balcony on to a table, and lucha bros vs la parks was fantastic, definitely recommend checking that out when it airs I got a Shane Strickland shirt and a rush shirt, so that makes four pieces of ingobernables merch I have now oh yeah I high fived Hornswoggle before his match and his hand was like dripping wet lol. this was my first indie show and it ruled and I'm gonna do this a lot more couple other things, the crowd was a legit sell out, they may have been able to jam, like, 10 more people in the bleachers if they were really dedicated. really fun, exciting atmosphere. by the time we had gotten to pco/brody king, everyone was giving good reactions to everything, there is this weird shane strickland angle that i dont really like that mlw is running, and that kind of killed the crowd for a second, but after that it was lucha bros vs la parks and the 60% mexican crowd was fuckin here and ready for it. bless the middle aged lady with the airhorn, she captained the chants for the last few matches. also, puma king is good and cool and my friend, and cicero stadium is actually pretty cool for wrestling. i'd be alright seeing another show there. shiksa fucked around with this message at 08:45 on Nov 9, 2018 |

There's a bunch of smaller venues around Cleveland that are really excited to run wrestling lately, and their new Akron venue has been going great, but they're definitely running low on 500-seat places in Cleveland. Maybe St. Ignatius would let them? I think the first match I ever saw was during a summer program there, between Ray Rowe and The Duke. Columbus would be a pretty bold move that I think would be likely to pay off, but I don't know if Thorne would be willing to try.

I could have gotten tickets to a night of this year's lynam, but it was right after I'd started watching indie wrestling, like a week or two, so I wanted to be more familiar first. e drat it's in Logan again and I just found out I'm not gonna be able to go anywhere for Thanksgiving... well my wife said she was interested in going to a wrestling show some day haha

TV Zombie posted:What was the Strickland angle they were running? he's been doing this thing where he's the former champ, but he's on a losing streak, so he's being all whiny and pouty and they're making him do "you people" promos, and then (fusion tv spoilers) after he lost against low ki (from low ki ripping out a couple dreads and rolling him up? it was weird and kinda gross) he got on the mic and said that he blamed management, mlw, and especially the fans for everything and that he was quitting. and stokely hathaway was across the aisle from me but he was just standing there making like a grumpy face so i guess that'll be explained on the episode i only watched the past 10 or so episodes of mlw to catch up before the show, so i'm sure there's some backstory that i'm missing, but i just don't like it, i just want swerve to be cool.

rovert posted:NOT good: Unfortunate, but not surprised. I don't think the church's congregation didn't like AIW being there. Thorne asked everyone last year to untag the location on everyone's pictures due to blowback from church members. Their last show was crazy with panes of glass and barbed wire. I had a feeling they weren't tweeting out anything from that show for fear of losing the venue.
