Watching the OWE show and I now fully believe every promotion should hold a live funeral whenever their ace loses a match

they cut out most of this ceremony

sad music plays while a-ben writhes on the mat and they project a field of stars on the ring for several minutes

all the owe guys who lost to japanese and american wrestlers come out and their coach(???) screams words of disappointment and motivation at them

then he chops them, and they all take turns chopping him but he sells it like hes actually dying and it takes multiple people to hold him up from the power of their chops of respect

*then* the entire locker room comes out so the chinese akb48 affiliate sings amazing grace over slow motion clips of them training

Where can I see this weird thing?

Watched a couple of the MLW Fusion shows on Youtube today and they're alright so far. Rich is so much more tolerable as a commentator here than in Wrestle Circus, so I'm assuming him coming across so annoying to me in WC is due to him trying to fill the role of one-man commentary booth. It's kind of fun hearing Schiavone again, too.

heres the original broadcast (minus the main event)

https://v.qq.com/x/page/p0542pjaak5.html

if you just want to see the agony and ecstasy of A-Ben skip ahead to 2 hrs 43 min

im not gonna say the whole show is worth watching because the wrestling is all very bad but everything around the wrestling is interesting

I really wish I hadn't bought tickets before the coupon code went out. Could have saved $20.

I wonder if the holiday weekend combined with the Friday show is slowing sales. Also their champ isn't around and the last time they ran Logan, Mike Elgin showed up to really piss off a crowd.

I like that ACH is wearing the AAW belt when he enters at BOSJ.

But the timing isn't great for the show. I'm staying in town but I'll need to bolt right when it ends so I can go to the next phase of the weekend.

Per Dave, WWE already approached everyone with a contract at MLW offering tryouts and a look-in, because of MLW's TV deal spooking them

...is this not contract tampering

I’d imagine whether or not that’s tampering would depend on the language in MLW’s contracts.

I think PWG should put the belt on Trevor Lee to put a stop to the belt carousel they seem to have going on right now, since he's a known quantity who can make most shows and isn't going anywhere. I feel like WALTER's first priority is probably WXW and Keith Lee seems bound for WWE.

The Wrestlemania shows this year were pretty lacklustre and they didn't provide an authentic PROGRESS experience too.

I genuinely hope every PROGRESS date will sellout but the initial signs indicate sales will be soft.
