Justin877 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Ever since I went to Wrestlecade last November, I have wanted to get back into the NC Indy scene. I live in Roanoke, VA which isn't too terribly far away. Which ones should I try to make it to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AML is also about the same distance (they are closer to Winston-Salem than Greensboro but you are still talking less than 3 hours). That is where you get Damien Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Conn Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 To the CWF guys on the board, do you think one Ivan Koloffs matches with CWF will be put up on their YouTube page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I handle all the "classic" stuff, it will likely be awhile before it is. All of the pre-2006 footage is on tape only, and I currently don't have that stack of tapes because we put the priority on 2006-2012 stuff for now. The Koloff stuff will eventually go up, but I couldn't get you a firm timeframe. Also @Justin877 I will obviously echo RIPPA, you need to come down and see us. I guarantee you'll have a good time. The big tag tournament we are doing on 3/24-3/25 would be a perfect time. Also, if you didn't already know, we have a free Youtube show that we upload every Wednesday at 9pm EST.

Justin877 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I have been to the CWF Sportatorium for about 4 Chikara shows. PWX sometimes runs outside of Charlotte. Thanks guys Is George South mainly working out of AML since he is the trainer at their school now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clintthecrippler Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Went ahead and bought a ticket to the Joey Janela midnight show on Thursday Mania weekend. Initial plan had been to drive into Orlando on Friday morning, and had been increasingly swayed by the ridiculousness of some of the Janela announcements so far, but the new announcements of Lio Rush vs Keith Lee put it over the top for me. I plan on exploring the city most of the weekend doing touristy stuff, but this looked like too much fun to not go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewar Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 The tweet about Dave Hebner doing a run in or a ref bump, because they could not afford him for an entire match makes me hope Janela's show rules and makes tons of money. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clintthecrippler Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Hell, I'll settle for spectacular train wreck ala "nWo Souled Out" style. Either way, it certainly doesn't seem like it will be boring at least! I know there's tons of other wrestling shows I could pick to be my "one or two" non-WWE shows that weekend, but I'll take "fun" over "5-star" for my choices.

Marty Sugar Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Because I'm old and Photoshop scares me, posters for my show were usually...simplistic? Spoiler But when my computer crashed, one of the crew offered to make some...and now they're all pretty and shit: Spoiler ...and now everyone says how much they like them so much more. It hurts, but hey...the posters are getting done, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Marty that one looks like something you could do a limited number of (marked on the poster by hand, natch) and sell for way over the price if it's big and on decent cardstock. I've seen punk bands do the same, I know you could. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zev Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I take it that Reach for the Sky will feature a ladder match and/or the Briscoes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's our MITB knockoff...but with a medallion instead of a briefcase because the ceiling is mostly plaster and you can't really hang anything off it. WRESTLING! I only just realized a week ago that ROH has been doing a "Reach For The Sky" tour, so we'll probably change the name next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zev Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 The phrase is used as it's the current theme music of the Briscoes and opening line of the tune. Perhaps your ladder match predates usage of this particular track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdangerously Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Change it to "Reach For The Pie," and hang a Hostess Fruit Pie from the ceiling. If I've learned anything from decades of reading comic books from the 70s and 80s, it's that everyone loves Hostess Fruit Pies. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Ep. 13 of "Killing The Town," Cyrus talks about how he hated that indies would dare to have $10,000 Battle Royales so when he hosted a Winnipeg bar show, the winner of the Battle Royale got a 12-pack of beer one month...and an entire rump roast the next. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
