I'm watching the "last" (???) ICW show.

Dr. Redacted is going to die in the ring someday, isn't he?

That was far from the craziest match he's ever had in ICW NHB, so... yeah, probably. Like most people who do the Sasuke "put a metal trashcan over my head & upper torso and jump off the top rope" spot nowadays, they dive onto a bunch of guys who'll catch them. Redacted will do it from the top chain platform to the arena floor, aiming at one guy on a table, and they'll move. Shit, he missed one off the top a cage once.

[Death From Above]

Every single Redacted match I have seen is like watching a hurricane blow into town for 10 minutes. I don't know if he's "good" but he sure is "an event".

The Killdozer vs Atticus Cogar main event was unbelievably gnarly. Like honestly at this point most deathmatches are pretty passe because you just get numb to the violence but Jesus Christ that was something. Cogar might be an actual psychopath.

Honestly both of the Cogar brothers are really fucking good heels from the ICW that I've watched.

Today I received a notification from Facebook that they put a cover on a picture I took of Redacted the last time ICW ran Newark. The picture is not against the Facebook standards, but "might be sensitive" to some people. Now anyone needs to click on the warning to see the picture. He does look dead lying on his back covered in blood. Facebook did the same to a similar picture of Hoodfoot last year.

Debuted last night for Game Changer Wrestling in Columbus.

I've never seen this dude before but that's a pretty sick mask.

[Death From Above]

Also the Austin Luke vs "Fancy" Ryan Clancy match on this show is really fucking good. How many Lance Storm trainees are out there floating around? Because Clancy is pretty fucking solid.

[AxB]

Ryan Clancy is really good. Has a fantastic Dropkick. He doesn't quite have the moveset to properly do full justice the Old-Time Wrestling gimmick he does... he needs to watch more 70s WoS or something.

He was in a Wheelchair for a year in his childhood. The fact that he's wrestling at all is inspirational:

I believe the promoter did the poster - I’ll pass that along when I get there in a bit!

So last night Mance Warner won the GCW heavyweight champion cashing in on his win at the New Years Eve rumble match.  I would try to explain it but whatever character limit posts have on this board would probably get hit.

Ok so one of the Indies I hit up and film has a deal to stream,so got asked if i film full matches to not put them up publicly. But clips are fine.

Week ago yesterday made the trip to Ocean Springs Mississippi. Was a packed car,i had gotten 4 hours sleep the night before. But the main event was worth the hassle.

Thinking i got these in order

 

Main event,which wasnt origianlly the main event,was Nightmare Jeremiah defending his AWA Pro Heritage title against Richard Holliday.

 

All I knew going into the match was I had been clued in where they were going  over the guard rail and been told "Tell security and be ready to help hold the crowd back."

 

https://youtu.be/CdgwWEgDVcY?si=uUBG0xvuMvBEiI0C

 

Ok after teh show I got told "I almost told you to not cut the camera until I was heading to the back. But figured you know who was leaving with the title."

https://youtu.be/jfnIfmtlgwE?si=tRcAfpZQPblN-4-d

 

Holliday was shocked Nightmare agreed to a powerbomb.

But Holliday was puzzled that in the deep south this big evil monster heel is a face. And people bark at him and yell YOU SUCK at him and he is one of the biggest faces in the deep south.

Plus my chanting MAKE HIM BLEED might have gotten to Holliday.

 

Now if you want to see this full match, if might pass the link around in DMs.

I saw XPW in Newark tonight. Once again Facebook covered my photos of Dr. Redacted. They must not like him.

The Creed Brothers are the next WWE guys to do Bloodsport at the end of the month.

I mentioned this in the monthly catch all thread as well, it's not everybody finds their way here.

[RazorbladeKiss87]

If WWE really wanted to get the Brooks Jansen storyline over, they'd have had him show up in the Backyard yesterday.

[zendragon]

taking my friend who has never seen pro wrestling to her first indy show later this week

[colonial]

Speaking of Dr. Redacted, he is currently in Japan, working a death match tourney for Big Japan.

[zendragon]

So my friend got really high in the parking lot of the VFW before the show and had a blast. She was born in Vietnam, so despite having lived in the US for four decades does have some pop culture blind spots (she did have some vague memories of Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage and Roddy Piper as a child) so pro wrestling was pretty new for her. However some of the spot calling was pretty bad if non fans are picking up on it

So the former Jinder Mahal Raj Dhesi debuted in GCW last night and is apparently feuding with Effy because of course he is.    we all know that Raj is a really big man but man he looks 7 feet tall when he is dealing with GCW people.

Indy tour in full effect!

[hammerva]

Tonight is Bloodsport in Brooklyn and so far very good.  Both Julius and Brutus Creed was impressive in their matches.  Would say Julius waa better but Brutus is just a beast.  Charlie Dempsey actually tapped out to Royce Issacs which was a little stunning.  Mike Bailey with a brutal Cro Cop kick to Akira 

[Ace]

Homicide needs to never do a Bloodsport again.

[Curt McGirt]

Was it really bad?
