GREG IS BIG NOW


I tried to watch the ICW New York show from last weekend this morning and had to shut it off. The crowd was like three feet from the ring and no one was distancing at all. It felt irresponsible in a way that the GCW show from Indianapolis wasn't.

The whole point was that people were supposed to watch from their cars so I don’t know if the people just said gently caress that or if ICW invited it.

O'Shay Edwards decided to write up a list of matches he wants to have at some point. He's been working local indies, but if the world is in any way just (and hahahaahhahaha) he'll be a huge star somewhere at some point.

The matches I've seen from him have been super impressive. It's a short match, but his bout against Arik Royal from Flying V Fights in December is an amazing shitkicking. In my neverending quest for AEW to get more black wrestlers and more beefy boys, I would love O'Shay to come in and just knock gently caress out of some people.

Honestly would like to hear Saieve speak about how he suddenly disappeared from Evolve as well.

I could have sworn that MSL being a huge piece of poo poo is an open secret in wrestling as well.

IIRC he's a pot dealer, which is how he got close to Scott Hall's crew years ago

He's also well known in the Guns N' Roses fan community for extorting people for information on the band/unreleased material - because of that, he's banned from most GNR message boards

I'm utterly baffled at how a complete non-entity like Chasyn Rance has gained such a level of power in the Florida scene.

It's like if Harvey Weinstein did all the same crimes but was producing backyard film student projects instead of Oscar contenders.

A lot of it was using his failson money/resources to help people out, give them places to stay, etc. It made him a lot of friends. Meanwhile, it does seem like it's the truth that he gave everyone a distorted at best version of his rape charge. That people knew it was Florida’s rough equivalent to statutory rape and let him convince them that she was some girl he met at a party while thinking she was older. Everyone I've talked to had no idea of the specifics (with the cops getting Rance on tape admitting that he knew she was underage) until I dug it up.

But it's mostly the failson money stuff.

Yes but by definition a money mark is throwing good money after bad and this guy has incredibly small overheads so can afford to treat the wrestlers better than someone who needs to rent a venue and ring and lighting etc

Pinche Rudo

The only thing they probably need to rent is the ring. They also have volunteers doing the work since it's a fundraiser for the school. Multiple wrestlers have also mentioned how well organized they are and how well they treat them.

And if you're a promoter doing benefit shows who develops a good rep, especially in a wrestling-rich market like Chicago, then its not that difficult to get a sweetheart deal on ring rental etc. So the basic overhead is minimal to nil, Principal Steve and company do an incredibly professional job by all accounts, etc., and since they draw reliably, they're able to do loaded shows (paying full price, too) and still make plenty of profits to put into the scholarship fund.

It came out yesterday that they lost Ricky Starks to AEW because their highest offer was a grand a month (for the person they had enough confidence in to let main event their last PPV and win their first TV title doing so), and their most recent TV champ Zicky Dice is gone because their offer to him was $250 a month

Even if you excused all the racism/Cornette stuff, it's...Particularly hard to excuse not being able to pay even minimum wage. You could make $7.25 an hour at McDonald's, work 35 hours a week each week for a month, and make more money ($1015) that month than either of NWA's TV champs were making
