There's fun stuff here. The Novelty of Rey and Casas teaming up as babyfaces is great. In general, though, it's better on paper. Caristico is always a really dynamic heel so it's refreshing to see him in that role again but it felt like amateur hour at times with him working as loose as I've ever seen a wrestler on his level work, maybe.

While Caristico as a heel is the best Caristico - Casas as a babyface is always my least favorite Casas

That's fair to a degree, but I think even babyface Casas often wrestles with rudo leanings.

This is interesting, coming off march madness. People struggled with how much credit to give Riddle, since he mostly worked really well thought of guys who could lead and highlight a pretty inexperienced wrestler. Well, here he's facing a guy who is pretty stubborn about getting his spots in, and isn't known for being especially flexible or generous. Also, the crowd sings a lot.

I really enjoyed that. Probably my favourite non-Hero Marty Scurll match that I can think of off the top of my head. Riddle reversing all of Scurll's pretentious signature spots (at least the first time) won me over completely. A fully locked in chickenwing is such a great visual and I like most of Marty's stuff, so him having to work to get to the shit I don't really care for made for a much better experience imo.

Matt Riddle is a phenom and a Stallyn.

So this happened on March 25th, 2017 and I did not see flier the first in my neighborhood in Severn, MD.

My man, the Pope, vs. Fred mother fucking YEHI.

The convention center where this match was held is like a twenty minute drive from me.

So angry.

I am very pissed off that I missed this match.

You could have taken Matt.

And Niko, too.  We could've had crab cakes at Phillips before the show..

I am so angry right now.

I'm going to get to the 'rents from a rough night of graveyard and go to bed mad.

I didn't find out about this until the night before.  I was at Roman's Place (it's a bar run by a manager in a shitty local company)  She was telling me about it and with nothing better to do went to the show.  Sorry for not letting you know, but trust me you didn't miss much.  The first half of the show was surprisingly good even if I didn't know who anybody was.  The second half was boring as anything, and as much as I love Yehi I saw him in Evolve a couple weeks before.  So when a friend wanted to head to a bar I didn't think twice and left before the main event.  If you're absolutely bored it could be worth seeing, but I don't feel a strong need to go to it, especially with MCW giving me the local fed that's awesome.  EDIT:  Hey, the match is online?  WONDERFUUUUUUUL!

And I'm down with Phillips, but that area is a tourist spot I can't stand to be near the Harbor on the weekend.  That's why it's convenient for me to hit up Jimmy's.  It might be pricey but at least it's local.

I hear ya.  I usually bail to Maryland LIVE! casino if I feel the need to get a drink since it is only a ten minute drive from my house. 

I don't usually go to Inner Harbor unless something big is going on.

I'm pretty confident that NWL is a continuation of Metro Pro in some ways (production?) but I didn't watch enough Metro Pro to really figure out if the regular crew is now the NWL Crew.

So... presenting Gil Rogers (Your 7th grade Gym Teacher if he got really into 1980s Bob Backlund) vs Flex Zerba (who is indeed doing a weightlifter gimmick)

There is also Gil Rogers facing Ray Briggs as a "Web exclusive", which could be confusing since Gil Rogers could pass as being named Ray Briggs. (Ray Briggs looks quite different than Gil Rogers and they're tag partners apparently and the finish was kinda blah)
