NikoBaltimore Posted April 14, 2024 Posted April 14, 2024 (edited) What in the flying fuck?! I have to watch this. EDIT: Watching it again I absolutely need to and will see this match. I know Brian is hyping a match but what he said about technology is so very much me (though Transformers were cool!) But this match is gonna be so much fun. Edited April 14, 2024 by NikoBaltimore 1
clintthecrippler Posted April 15, 2024 Posted April 15, 2024 I just got back from being at the Chris Hero Mixtape show live. Chris Hero vs Kazusada Higuchi started off as a one-on-one match with every shot stiff as fuck and being some damn fine heavyweight wrestling, but then morphed into the tag team match of Hero and Bryan Keith vs Higuchi and MECHA MUMMY. At first I was disappointed that this hard-hitting singles match with some of the grossest "sounding" wrestling I have ever seen live (maybe 2nd next to seeing Walter vs PCO live at Spring Break 2018) became an oddball spectacle of a comedy tag match, but then as it went on it crossed over into being one of the most gloriously sublime live wrestling experiences of my life and circled back around to being awesome again. Well worth cycling through the Youtube stream for that spectacle, I do however desperately now want Hero vs Higuchi to be run back as a proper singles in a Bloodsport setting. Arez vs Angelico 2-out-of-3-falls submissions-only match is worth checking out as well, they really committed hard to the submission-wrestling aspect of lucha with that one. A LONG show, but he really did a great job of committing to the "mix tape" concept with a little something for everybody. A mini-CHIKARA reunion with Jigsaw and Hallowicked teaming up in a trios match (with Matt Makowski as their partner), a mini-EVOLVE reunion with a triple-threat main event with AR Fox and Jason Kincaid (with Alpha Zo being the third competitor), a lucha three-way that despite being very sloppy at times still won the crowd over with their ambition, a good old "local faces" vs "out of town heels" Los Angeles vs San Francisco trios match, a rock-solid women's triple threat, and to top off the madness, Biff Wiff's Cosmic Gumbo Rumble featuring (1) Hero's fellow IWA Mid-South alumni Jimmy Jacobs and Trik Davis (2) fellow Wrestle Factory alumni like Colin Delaney and Tracy Williams, and (3) a nod to the mid-2000s SoCal indie scene with an impressive appearance by Zokre capped off by the winner being deemed a fellow "Shirt Brother" by Biff Wiff for those that are dedicated fans of Tim Robinson's I THINK YOU SHOULD LEAVE series. 5
Death From Above Posted April 16, 2024 Posted April 16, 2024 That money I dropped on IWTV to see the DEAN show was definitely money well spent. I'm watching the Prestige Roseland 8 show now. Daniel Makabe vs Zack Sabre Jr. main event sounds tasty, plus Minoru Suzuki is going to murder AKIRA. And Alan "5" Angels is their champion? Cool. 2
Matt D Posted April 16, 2024 Posted April 16, 2024 I mean I wouldn't have necessarily booked it but more power to those crazy Deadlock people.

Who would have thought that, of everyone doing a "My demonic alter ego" gimmick, LIO RUSH would be the guy to pull it off convincingly? 1

Yeah that match had too many nearfalls but was still one hell of a piece of drama. Great show overall.
AxB Posted April 18, 2024 Posted April 18, 2024 The Akira vs Suzuki match was really good too. Somehow, after all of those matches where Suzuki, regardless of who his opponent is, gives us "The Minoru Suzuki match", Akira managed to shake him out of that and change it up a bit. When they were doing the finger manipulation early, and Akira bent Suzuki's finger so he was giving himself the bird, Suzuki sold that in a way that said "Ha ha this is awesome why didn't I think of it sooner?". 1 1

hammerva Posted April 27, 2024 Posted April 27, 2024 Watched the ACTION show last night. Very show as usual. From what I can see because of IWTV issues, Manders vs Alex Kane was damn good. Mustafa Ali vs Landon Hale was also very good. I hope Ali is using this indie tour to recruit TNA talent. The hair vs hair match was heated as fuck. Bald Matt Sells is going to be weird I do have a possibility dislikable hot take. I prefer Krule more when he was this death match monster who you had to hit with a sledgehammer to get off his feet. I understand why they are doing it and don't get me wrong he is really good wrestler. seeing a guy who would get hit 50 light tubes and not flinch and now needing a rope break to get out of an Adam Priest figure four feels wrong. It comes with being the ITVW champion While I am tired of Dusty finishes, at least it set up Priest vs Krule cage match next show. Also keeps us from getting what I want which is Krule vs Jonathan Gresham

He used to be all in purple with purple hair, but then he wrestled Arik Royal in a hair vs $10,000 (?) match.
Johnny Sorrow Posted April 28, 2024 Posted April 28, 2024 It looks like my pals at BOOM Pro Wrestling in Vancouver are getting some attention lately. Brady Malibu and Max Mitchell were on Jericho's podcast two days ago to talk all things BOOM, and Alvarez was at their show last night and he's been praising them on Twitter today. 1
Death From Above Posted April 30, 2024 Posted April 30, 2024 I am watching the ACTION anniversary show now myself. That hair vs hair match fucking ruled.

Death From Above Posted May 5, 2024 Posted May 5, 2024 I'm watching the "last" (???) ICW show. Dr. Redacted is going to die in the ring someday, isn't he?
