Marty Sugar Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 It's hard to tell these days which promotions are using "immediate suspension" as angles or cover-ups for bad behavior or what. Twitter is fuN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peck Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 This is... interesting. And being filmed in my hometown. Quote Jerry Jarrett is behind a television pilot that is being filmed on 4/26 in Wheeling, WV. The show is called Olympus Wrestling. They are shooting a pilot with the idea of doing an America's Got Talent like format where matches would take place and there would be three judges evaluating both the matches and the wrestlers. Robert Fuller and Jim Cornette will be two of the judges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty Sugar Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Jim Cornette would be the only "judge" on a talent show that Simon Cowell would think is too fucking negative towards people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godfrey Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 https://deadspin.com/how-louisianas-archaic-commission-rules-will-burden-wre-1824118577 Banned moves: Quote 1. All variations of the Pile Driver; 2. All variations of the Power Bomb; 3. The “Moonsault”, “Shooting Star”, or “450 Splash” or any variation thereof which involves one wrestler, leaping or flipping off the ropes or turnbuckles to contact the head or neck of the opponent with any part of his body; 4. The “Stungun” of any variation thereof which results in the one fighter’s head or neck being dragged, draped or “closelined” [sic] across the ropes; 5. The striking of a wrestler’s head with any object, chair, trashcan [sic] lid, etc., and 6. No wrestler shall throw, push, shove or force another out of the ring or over the top rope. #6 is hilarious to me. Also, you can do these moves if you get permission first, which I also find hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattdangerously Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Am I the only one who thinks the commission is just trying to be really, really subtle about how they solicit bribes? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumanChessgame Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 How does this get enforced? Does the commission expect all the bookers to submit a screenplay-esque layout to each match for approval? Do they have some stooge at each event that shuts it down if any banned move is executed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably whoever breaks the rules could get fined, and the guy who is acting in the Rockin' Rebel role of being the guy with the promoters license in Louisiana could certainly face repercussions. Which I believe is Luke Hawx? Theoretically if you do get fined and refuse to pay it then you might find it hard to work in any state with an AC which is a member of the ABC who regulates wrestling. But I'm just spitballing, could be nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagan Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Kaiju Big Battel/WWN doing an after-party at the Republic post-Mania. $10. Cool venue and, I recall, reasonable drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdangerously Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 I really hope the PCO vs WALTER match on Mania weekend is a big enough hit that "underappreciated 90s hosses" replaces "flippy British guys who can't sell" as the big indy booking trend. I could really go for an Ice Train dream match indy run. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well given that they are no ropes on this show, #6 is going to be violated at least 4 or 5 times. Also Dominic Garini is fucked by #1 because his finish is a version of spike piledriver.

Zakk_Sabbath Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Did Keith Lee and Chuck Taylor wrestle yet? I saw it was booked for a PWG show and was thinking I'd buy the DVD, and I love venues like the new theater theyre in anyway so I wanna check that out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Yeah, it was the Friday before last. Pwg posted the preview on YouTube but it contains spoilers. I believe they're taking preorders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Fuck yeah that is an upgrade in terms of the match and in terms of professionalism from Riddle's opponent I remember the last time Wrestlemania was in New Orleans and I went to the Dragon Gate show on Friday. Almost every one in the building was shocked that Low Ki actually get pinned by Trent Berretta given how unprofessional Low Ki can be and how Trent wasn't that big of a name. Well it is what 3 or 4 years later and Low Ki being Low Ki hasn't changed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
