Black Label Pro ran long so we missed the opening match from ICWNY which was Gage vs Maff?! Thankfully they're gonna replay it during the intermission.

Then Marko Stunt demolished Grim Reefer and cut a heel promo, are we gonna get Swann vs Stunt later? That'd be cool.

EDIT: Nope, looks like an Atlas / Sanchez / Swann three-way.

IWTV became an even better buy when they released their app not so long ago. The website worked fine on XBox One or a Firestick, but it is so much better now.

Plus there's like 9 upcoming live events in September, including the BLP Turbo Graps 16 tournament:

drat it, there's 199 IWA:MS events on IWTV but that one isn't available. I have a soft spot for Ian Rotten's sleaze-fed from that era, too.

I checked what they have. Saw IWA Mid South, was going to recommend some of the Ted Petty Invitational shows but they don't have many of them up for some reason. They do however have the 2007 TPI which I haven't seen in 12 years but my memory of it is that the tournament was dope. The tournament has some great wrestlers in it like Claudio Castagnoli, Mike Quackenbush, Chuck Taylor, Ricochet (if you've never seen young long haired Ricochet, it's funny), Nigel McGuinness, etc. I specifically remember liking the finals. But the real standout match from the show is a non-tournament match on night 2: Chris Hero vs Eddie Kingston in a Last Man Standing match. It's one of those "feuds all over the indies" that started because they genuinely disliked each other & the end result is two dudes who are really great at wrestling just battering the bejezus out of each other.

It still really annoys the completionist rear end in a top hat in me that there's so little early Chikara. OK Quack, I know that they aren't very good shows, but I've always wanted to see the match with Blind Rage where Ichabod Slayne loses his mask to become Icarus. Ultramantis before he was Ultramantis Black. As someone who watched Chikara from about 05 until 08 or 09 I have a strong attachment to that first class of trainees but I've never been able to see their early poo poo and it blows and I blame Quackenbush. They also brought in La Parka (the original) for a match in that first year, Quack & Reckless Youth vs Parka & Mister ZERO (aka the guitarist in Pissed Jeans. Sorry, that makes me smile every time I think of it)

That was a failure at recommending Chikara stuff, sorry.

IWTV added a bunch of old CHIKARA stuff not too long ago (incl. the early Tag Tournaments and KOTs - recommended btw). Maybe the rest is in the works too?
