  1. Clash at the Castle 1 was a Stadium Show (in a city that doesn't have a Castle). Clash at the Castle 2 is in the Glasgow Hydro (also in a city that doesn't have a Castle; They're thinking of Edinburgh). But the first ever Pro-Wrestling show at the Glasgow Hydro, right after it opened, was a TNA House Show. Part of TNA's UK tour that year. There are 4 Football Stadiums in Glasgow (The National Stadium, plus grounds for Rangers, Celtic and Partick Thistle), running a building with a 14,300 capacity as Clash at the Castle just seems like they're devaluing the brand immediately.

  2. IWTV is merged with Smart Mark Video (which is why their archive is so big) and they have done physical media releases of H2O shows in the very recent part, so there's definitely a chance.

    Okay, signed up for IWTV. I presume that means I just have to tune in on Thursday. Also, what the hell should I watch on there in the meantime? I thought about hitting up some old IWA-MS stuff first and after that... I dunno, maybe Lucha Memes? It's... a lot.

    ICW: No Holds Barred Volume 9 is loads of fun, if you like the blood and pain.

  4. You have to bear in mind, in the 80s Thatcher and Reagan considered apartheid South Africa to be a strong political ally. The Reagan White House considered Nelson Mandela to be a terrorist, not a Civil Rights Activist. Margeret Thatcher publically said Nelson Mandela was a terrorist. And that's the political worldview that Vince identifies with.

    In his mind, the actual Truth and Reconciliation Commission were the villains, and the post-Apartheid Afrikaners were victims. The fact that the vast majority of people in the Western World don't share that mindset is something that wouldn't have occurred to him. He was probably very surprised that it didn't get over.

  5. So the other night, Alex Shelley

    Spoiler

    dropped one of his bigger Indie titles.

    He had been Prestige Wrestling world champion, but he lost it to Alan Angels.

    Which implies that his next career move, whatever it is, might be something that has him booked on Saturdays.

    Anyone with Honor Club: how much early ROH is on there? I really want to rewatch Joe vs Kobashi and see how it holds up. I haven't seen it since high school probably. 

    The Joe vs Kobashi match is on  ROH's YouTube (twice). Although I don't think the entire show it happened on is.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSonUA168fo

    That's a pandemic era watchalong of the match, with Ian Riccaboni and Todd Sinclair

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSonUA168fo

    That's a 3-match compilation of Joe vs Kobashi, Joe vs Kyle O'Reilly, and Joe vs Jay Briscoe.

  7. So, clearly none of you have actually watched any MCMG matches recently. Neither of them has lost a step at all. If anything, Shelley is in better shape now than he was 10 years ago. They'd be a good get now. They absolutely still have it.

    Never heard of that. So it was legit and not an angle, he shot on the kids? (Be funny to know who the kids are, btw... hint hint)

    Death Match Kings (Necro & Mad Man Pondo) vs Anthony Franco & Matt Turner, Chikara Tag World Grand Prix night two. 19th February 2005. It's,not on YouTube, but it is on IWTV. So if you had a friend who had an IWTV, they could potentially watch it on the Discord).

  9. I went to an indie show this evening! It were dead good!

    1. Flash Morgan Webster beats Lionel Da Silva
      Jacob North beats Benjamin Harland
      SCRAMBLE MATCH: Hazz Hype beats Luka Romeo, Big Bubba Quaide, Visage, TJ Sky and guy whose name I didn't catch
      Brendan White beats Lucia Lee
       
      Intermission
      Wild Boar & Ricky Regan beat Nishiki & MJ Grayson
      Zoe Nix beats Violet Nyte
      NEW WAVE WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIP: Leon Cage (c) beats Jack Knudsen
       
      Harland, Nix, Cage and especially Knudsen are really, really good for their age and experience level. Stars of the future maybe.
