The closest may have been Al Snows stuff down in Lima. It's a somewhat recent thing. The earliest I remember was a one off show in Findlay in like 1998. After that there wasn't much until a school opened up in...Fremont?...maybe. That would have been mid-2000s. Link to post Share on other sites

Probably not a name a U.S. indie wrestler would have chosen (or so one would hope). He could do an Al Jolson gimmick. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Infinit 2,993 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 So the Destiny Wrestling card I'm going to on January 20th is shaping up to be a doozy. Pete Dunne vs Josh Alexander, Tyler Bate vs Aiden Prince, Michael Elgin vs Shane Strickland, plus Ethan Page and ACH have also been announced. Really looking forward to a really fun night of pro wres! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Edwin 5,253 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Legit MOTYC on paper and an absolute dream match. I'm sure Thatcher is doing cartwheels at the thought of working with Ishikawa as he's stated previously Ishikawa is one of his favorite wrestlers. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

odessasteps 13,952 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Cornette mentioned on his pod that he is doing a show in February in VA that will include an honorary Smoky Mountain tag match between the RnR and Barbarian/Haku. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Nice Guy Eddie 22,114 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I'm currently watching "Psycho" Mike Rollins vs. Kikutaro on Smash Wrestling, and it's worth going out of one's way to see it. I love comedy matches when they're done right. On a side night, Everytime I Die rhythm guitarist Andy Williams wrestles for Smash. He's a fucking monster, plus he wears a monocle to the ring and has a handlebar mustache that would have made Big Bully Busick proud. Link to post Share on other sites
Edwin 5,253 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 For what it's worth, Andy Williams worked at the first Sprint Break, too. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

christopher.annino 1,423 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Always loved ETID and thought it was funny how Andy was this behemoth in a band with four generally skinny dudes. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

grilledcheese 1,160 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Frank Mir is booked on Bloodsport. That's a good call, I think. High end grappler, and a king sized cocksucker. I could get behind the idea of Mir as the big bad in a shootstyle promotion. Or maybe an underboss for MiSu? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
cubbymark 805 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Might as well book Cris Cyborg for Bloodsport while we're at it... Link to post Share on other sites
mattdangerously 6,938 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 On 1/3/2019 at 10:52 PM, mattdangerously said: Booker's coming out of retirement to face his student, the excellent Rex Andrews. Book doesn't treat ROW as a vanity promotion (he's worked one match there in the past six years I've been going), so you know this is a big deal. And Jacob Fatu just started working there as of the last show, and ye Gods, he is going to be a star. I'd be shocked if he isn't in NXT by this time next year. If you are so inclined, the iPPV is starting now on Fite. Link to post Share on other sites

hammerva 4,849 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Not sure where this should go and probably should get spoilers but last night at CWF Mid Atlantic EDIT: Well since it was in NXT discussion no need for spoilers: Link to post Share on other sites

The Z 1,627 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Alex Wright teased an in-ring comeback yesterday, by attacking T-K-O, the current champion of his promotion NEW. This will probably just be a one-off I assume. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Marty Sugar 2,131 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 While Wild Okanagan Wrestling is still struggling to get through 2018 (and earlier), I figured I'd try to keep everyone updated of 2019 at the same time... THE REMATCH YOU NEED: Braydon "Blonde Bomber" Goss vs. "Top Young Gun" Sean Gaston (January 4, 2019 from Lake City Bowling in Kelowna, BC) PINFALLS ANYWHERE FOR THE BIG WEST TELEVISION TITLE: Scarlett Black (c) vs. Jade (w/Slave) (Sept. 21, 2018 ... voted the Big West 2018 Match Of The Year) Link to post Share on other sites

They finally ran Cain vs. Trevor as an unadvertised match on a RGL showcase, and while I liked the match a fair amount, it was basically Trevor dominating Cain and putting him away easily. It would feel a little anti-climactic if he loses the belt after announcing his WWE contract, but would be way worse if he walks into the sunset with it Link to post Share on other sites

hammerva 4,849 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Yeah I was sure that they were going to put the belt on Arik Royal on the December I think show. But I guess they were worried if he dropped then everyone would know he is gone so they would announce it first then drop it. Link to post Share on other sites
Beech27 2,828 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Minoru Tanaka, I'd guess/hope. Link to post Share on other sites
Archibald 610 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Nagata also fits the bill thou it sounds unlikely. But speaking about unlikely, one of my favourite "never going to happen, but I'd really love it" things is Kojima going back to MLW and having another title run. But yeah, Tanaka makes most sense and stylistically fits, more or less, what MLW is going for. Link to post Share on other sites
