Well, CHIKARA booking lots of female wrestlers make it easy since you know PWG won't book them.

My guess is that if both of them are willing to wrestle on a major show like this, whatever personal issues they had with each other has been smoothed over by now. I remember seeing them chatting at the debut WWR show at Fete a few months ago.

Might as well work a program with each other since you know people will talk about it.

Watching SHINE 38, and the picture quality is great BUT, the audio for me was off the entire show. At times, the audio was only a split second behind the video but at other times, it was a solid 2 seconds behind. Very annoying.

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

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.

Nothing like cutting a promo on how to cut a promo while being out of focus. Kind of kills the whole idea of the promo.

Wrestlecircus is doing fundraiser for a new venue. For $800, you can help book a show.

I had no idea that anybody was running in this area besides NXT.

Leva's a regular there. She had a good match vs Mia Yim recently.

I refuse to believe Leva has ever had a good match with anybody. She's consistently the worst part of seeing Wrestlecircus, aside from the shows all being like 5 hours long.

Her last SHINE title match vs Lufisto was a MOTYC. Legit good by any standards. She's had plenty of solid matches against Lufisto and others in the past. There's also a bunch of good tag matches she's had with Mia Yim as the Lucha Sisters too.

She's never gonna be great in the ring, but her charisma and cosplay stuff can be really entertaining. She has a lot of fans.

Yeah, the cosplay stuff is fun and my only real exposure to her is NXT and Wrestlecircus so my view is very skewed. What I've seen in person at Wrestlecircus has just been bad and looks like someone who has had like, three weeks of training.

Definitely willing to give the benefit of the doubt and check out some other matches!

I mean, her work at Wrestlecircus is 99% entrance/gimmick and 1% actual wrestling. She doesn't get booked in the important singles matches. She is over with that crowd though. And I know the owners love her, so she's probably got a job there for the foreseeable future.

She's a mainstay at SHIMMER, arguably the gold standard of women's wrestling in the US, so that tells you she has something of value.

So she's Sandman with cosplay instead of beer and canes.

And Sandman is still getting booked in 2017, so Leva will be fine. She also works a lot of comic cons where hosts panels and stuff. She is also trying to get into voiceover work

Point is, Leva gets a lot out of the resources she has.

I keep forgetting about that dude. What, isn't the angle like he bought the copyright to the name Chuck Taylor so the actual Chuck Taylor had to wrestle in Chikara with a different name each time?

The real Chuck Tayor just wrestles as DUSTIN now in CHIKARA. He did have like 20 names before he settled on that one though.

So at WrestleCircus tonight the Rachel Ellering/Christi Jaynes match was a weird mess that ended with an even weirder rollup and Rachel just booking it out of there. Anyone have the SCOOPZ on what the hell is up there?

I have no idea, but it almost seems like Christi might have been in no condition to wrestler ala Sting/Jeff Hardy? Either that or Christi just didn't wanna do what was planned. Very odd either way.

WrestleCircus puts on fun shows that anyone can watch for free, so that's pretty cool. They do a better job mixing in the women into the matches more than most indies. They use mostly good talent.

If they keep the shows under 4 hours, don't overbook, and stop saying the occasional dumb thing on Twitter, I think they can be pretty good.

When you are a new company who announces a card for a show like 10 months in advance, you KNOW something is fishy.

I wonder if they thought they'd have enough pre-sale tickets to pay for flights or find someone to give them enough money to run the shows?

I was at Nova Pro last night too. I thought the main show was great top to bottom. I liked everything, but I agree the tag match with Jinx/Aspen was a bit sloppy.

Allie Kat is so over with the Nova Pro crowd. Her match with Holidead was fantastic. Kylie Rae vs Isla Dawn was also stellar.

It's a shame people don't know who Rain is. She a pretty important piece to SHIMMER & SHINE history. And the fact she's wrestling at all after what she went thru is amazing.

If Maria Manic is on that show, I imagine that's why he's booked as well.

Ex-wife Chrissy Rivera publically accused him on twitter, but then deleted the tweets.

She did a shoot interview a few years ago detailing her and Sami's relationship and got pretty detailed about it. It was not good.

Sami is a huge douche. I don’t know much about the Crist’s but they were sitting with the fans before the Naito Revolver show I went to in Dayton and they both seemed like nice people.

I am pretty sure Dave Crist is kind of a weirdo/creep. I remember hearing stories about how wrestlers would stay over his house when they worked Ohio companies and he'd like whip his dick out when they were sleeping or something as a joke. Pretty sure he did it to Kimber Lee once.

I was at the last Nova Pro show on Saturday. The crowd was decent and the show overall was solid. I did hear some of the girls complaining about pay afterwards though. A lot of them did get paid though included hotels and airfare. It's a shame some of the regulars who get booked there don't stick up for the others but it seems to be a case of no one caring about anyone but themselves.
