    Nice! 😎 I never thought I'd actually win this thing one time, I even nailed the the breaker. 😁

    Thanks as ever for running this, S.K.o.S. It's one of my favourite things in my time on the board and I've been a regular poster here since September 2005. So glad it's returned this year. Cheers!

    Completely seconded. I don't even post that much on the board anymore, but this is still one of my favorite things. Thanks, S.K.o.S.!

    Standings
    1 [ 4] The Z - 4 points (2/2, tiebreak 0.04)

    This'll be the week I'll gain lots of points. I have Indiana Jones at #1 on my BO list and #3 on my RT list.

    I still hope it's going to be a success at the box office despite the middling reviews. I certainly already bought my IMAX tickets.

  3. This sucks so much. RIP DEAN. 😥

    This is a place with a lot of well-connected people, does anyone have connections to Brett Lauderdale? Would be great and well-deserved, if we could get DEAN inducted into the Indie Wrestling Hall of Fame.

  4. Well, someone has to make the start. This is my favorite DVDVR tradition and I will always be back for it.

    PWG still sells DVDs and Blu-ray - guessing this only applies to live streams and Video on Demand

    Well, they also have VOD, it's just being released at a much later time, six months after the show happened. That would be strange, if they were allowed to show his matches on the DVD/BluRay release, but not on the VOD. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

    Despite Negro Casas and Volador being pulled from the show because of "lucha politics" (as was mentioned in a previous post), the JCW show for next Sunday on the GCW YouTube channel still looks great!

    * Konosuke Takeshita vs. Cole Radrick
    * Dragon Lee & Dralistico vs. Gringo Loco & ASF
    * Bussy (Allie Katch & Effy) vs. Delirious & Edith Surreal
    * Billie Starkz vs. Nick Wayne
    * Tony Deppen vs. Alec Price
    * Masha Slamovich vs. Lindsay Snow vs. Janai Kai
    * Speedball Mike Bailey vs. Axton Rai
    * Plus ... a Bunkhouse Stampede!!

    Meanwhile they have announced absolutely nothing for the GCW show that's happening the same day, except for this show graphic.

     

    It seems clear that JCW will be the A-Show that day, but I wonder, if they'll put on an intentionally shitty show for IWTV.

    One of the lynch pins for all of this though is Kota Ibushi, because I think he offers the most to the BC/UE storyline from a NJPW guy. Surely Khan wants to get his hands on him at some point, could we see him make a surprise appearance at Forbidden Door? I don't know how his relationship is with NJPW at this point, but I can't imagine he would have quarrels with coming over here and doing some stuff.

    It's not looking good:

    I read somewhere (Twitter?  Facebook? Here? Info Wars?) that Gresham is being cut out of the Progress shows on the network because he is signed to AEW.

    Yeah - in what will be heartbreaking news for you the Gresham/Dean Allmark match from March isn't on the Network

    Rumor has it lately that WWE only cut out the Anthony Ogogo match from Ch. 127, but it was PROGRESS' own decision to cut out the Gresham matches from Ch. 128 and 129 to give people an incentive to buy PROGRESS' own streaming service.

    Of course since then Gresham competed for and won the PROGRESS World Championship at Ch. 130 and of course he also competed in and won the entire wXw 16 Carat Gold 2022 tournament. None of those shows aired on the WWE network yet, but obviously it would be utterly insane to release any of those shows without the Gresham matches.

    Biff Busick has tested positive for COVID so he has had to pull out of the 16 Carat Gold Tournament

    Yeah, that's a real bummer. Even with Busick the line-up was already pretty weak this year.

    I'm crossing my fingers that Jonathan Gresham vs. Fuminori Abe will happen at some point during the tournament. That would make up for a lot. ?

  10. The second MDRN NMD TNG show from last weekend.

    I would highly recommend watching Chris Ridgeway vs. Kid Lykos and Dean Allmark vs. Martin Kirby, but you can also just watch the whole show.

     

    Yesterday Hard Hit aired their entire show from December on YouTube, which had a 40-minute main event between Minoru Suzuki and Hikaru Sato. I thought I could watch it later, but they apparently deleted the whole thing after the initial airing. Damn. ?

    I get the feeling that PWG is fine running it like they always have. It's all in house I believe but switching to iPPV/VOD would disrupt that set up. 

    It's not like iPPV is easy still. It does suck though, pandemic really liked their hype. 

    I would actually prefer a middle way between live iPPV and waiting half a year.

    The impatience of my fellow wrestling fans annoys me a lot more than the slow-as-hell schedule of PWG.

    Everything has to be live live live for most people nowadays. I've never watched anything life in my entire life, outside of the shows I've attended myself.

    I'm old enough to remember a time, when you had to wait months for some tape trader to have the show you wanted and then you waited months more for the VHS to arrive at your house. Obviously we don't want to go back to that, but the quality of the majority of the live Indy shows sucks ass. Of all the GCW shows at least half of them have terrible audio and or video issues. Everything would be so much better, if people were just willing to wait a day or two (or even a week) for the VOD to be released. That's my rant for today.
