if you've got the ducats, IWTV is really worth the money. All the live streams are stable, the back catalog is pretty deep and the player remembers where you left off on videos

well he robbed the bank dressed in his wrestling gear
Technically speaking, if he had robbed the bank in his circa 2010 wrestling gear, he would have had a bandana tied around his face and might have gotten away with it. Also, the bank told the police that there was a bait pack/dye pack in the cash, but Gage ended up with no ink on him, so Nick Gage is a ninja.

Has anyone signed up for BJW Core since it came back? I'm trying to sign up on the new website and it's asking me for my date of birth, not matter what I do it's not accepting my DOB. Any advice or help there?

never used that one but you may be inputting it in the wrong order. year/month/day seems most predominant in japanese.

I had actually asked over on the BJW Sub Reddit and apparently you have to put the DOB as Year-MM-DD. It's the "-" that are important

...this was really on FITE's site? Because a lot of it doesn't make much sense.

The WrestleCon shows, which would be expected to be key Highspots subscription drivers, on FITE?

The Powerbomb/IWTV Shows, where you'd expect a similar situation, on FITE?

The Impact Twitch special on FITE?

Is it possible someone at FITE hosed up the list and didn't realize some of those aren't FITE partner shows?

Yep! It was up for about an hour or so. It was weird, as FITE didn’t tweet about it, but it was posted about on a few sites, and I saw the page before I posted about it here - but by the time I did get to post, it was down.

Makes me wonder what happened.

really it's the high spots stuff that's weird, IWTV and GCW already gave FITE the rights for a 100 dollar package. WWN and ROH have both use FITE in the past

Highspots tweeted about making the shows available on FITE, so I guess this is all legit.

Even if the Impact show being on there is weird since I thought it was a free Twitch special?

The Highspots Network is probably not built for handling a live stream that could reach the traffic numbers that something over Mania could reach and they know that there's so much live stuff that if they do it only on demand, people aren't watching the Wrestlecon stuff until later, if ever.

Powerbomb is broadcasting all of the Collective shows that are from their partners. The non-IWTV groups running with the Collective are the ones the FITE stuff is for. IMO, given that the Collective is hosting the GCW shows, it makes sense to bundle the stuff you're already showing along with the Collective package on FITE because you run the chance of people buying for Janela/Bloodsport and watching the IWTV stuff as well because it's included in their package, thus hopefully convincing them to subscribe.

Short term, I think what Bix is saying is the smart play, but if you're looking long term, I think both parties want to make themselves more accessible to the fans in hopes of luring people to buy their content. If anything got that link taken down, I'd bet it was the inclusion of the ROH/NJPW show.

For the consumer, it's a fantastic idea, and I think all parties involved will ultimately benefit from playing ball and making the weekend experience significantly easier/better for the fans.

I lke Washington Hall a lot. I'm not a fan of having to choose between getting tickets months before a card or waiting for "I can't make it and am selling my ticket" posts on their Facebook. It's difficult to plan around those, especially if you're trying to go as a group.

just watched icws party and bullshit, it was a lot of fun, and a vintage low ki v Eddy Guerrero (!) match at the intermission was a nice surprise. Joey janela goes full Joey styles on commentary for half of the show, and Nick Gage v Scott Steiner wasn't good exactly, but it was about what I'd want from that in 2019.

the orange Cassidy match is, of course, a highlight

BOOOOOOOO gently caress. Why couldn't he have been signed somewhere interesting. I mean, good for him and all that.

But maybe this opens the door for some NJPW crossovers so it may not all be bad.

Indie Wrestling Is Gross Again

https://www.wrestlinginc.com/news/2019/02/indie-wrestler-on-finding-out-he-hiv-positive-651354/

quote:

"I have never given anyone a record of a blood test. Ever, at all, ever - no promoter has ever gotten blood test results from me," Bueller emphasized. "And I know that there are places where it's like, 'Oh, we make sure that we blood test everyone. We make sure that they don't wrestle in that type of environment if we can't prove their blood is clean.' I've never even so much have been asked to submit a blood test. Like, it wasn't one of those, 'Hey, we need a blood test from you. Oh, shoot, there's not enough time? Oh, I'm sure you're fine. Anyway, nevermind.' No one ever even asked me for [my blood test]. But then again, people who may not know me personally, ironically enough, I'm just as at risk for having something in me as you would think that I would, which is very minimal. I'm about as nerdy as they get, I'm not social, I don't do drugs, so really, what could I have? So maybe it wasn't a concern."
