Guest Edwin Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 wXw has uploaded Back to the Roots XVII on wXw NOW. Can't wait to watch it over the weekend as I have grad school work to do this week, but I'm really looking forward to watch Die Käfigschlacht.

To overcompensate I already bought tickets for 8 of the 10 scheduled events that weekend. I was holding out hope for Keith Lee from the beginning, very sad that it comes at the expense of Jeff Cobb, but as it stands the line-up still looks pretty awesome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Käfigschlacht was fun if not a bit of a mess. Never a fan of cage matches spilling to the outside barring the one ridiculous exception. They also tried to fit too many things into a match where you've already got so much shit going on to begin with but I enjoyed watching Ringkampf annihilate those greasy shitbums in Rise.

They are doing live commentary for their bigger shows. It's probably not feasible to fly Alan in for that every time. He still does commentary on Shotgun I believe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Edwin Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Thought Back to the Roots XVII was underwhelming entirely. Was namely looking forward to Toni Storm vs. Kelly, but that wasn't that good. I like Kelly, but she's still a rookie. I did like they kept it simple and didn't go overboard with it. The cage match was really underwhelming. Thought WALTER and Lucky Kid looked the best for either side. WALTER was a beast hitting nasty strikes and big bombs in there and Kid was fun when he came in as the lunatic. Ivan Kiev namely looked really bad. His strikes and everything pretty much he did looked weak. The lack of blood and them trying to cram in as much as they did into this really dragged this down. I do still dig the promotion and its format with the extensive tours recording footage for the weekly Shotgun episodes leading to the marquee events.

CSC Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Looks like this includes all of their 2017 shows and should have the Great Muta match up there soon. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of their guys fall into the Chikara skinny guys doing comedy bullshit, but a lot of their roster is great. MCW is my local indy now and currently, probably the best promotion in Australia, have a lot of good violent wrestling which is always welcome, also they're the promotion that have had the biggest part in the New Japan expansion into Australia too. EPW Perth is a great fed, on the other side of the country but their Video On Demand service is excellent. They have an old school storytelling feel to their shows and aren't afraid to do blood and violence on their cards either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StretchMediatedHypertrophy Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I don't really follow this stuff too much, I occasionally look at @IfYouSeeSeb's tweets bc he's from my ends kind of. Anyway, UK Wrestling seems to be in the middle of a sexual misconduct saga - couple of significant promoters, some wrestlers.....nothing that's going to affect Progress et al too much probably (one minor feud will have been dropped), but we'll see how deep the rabbithole goes I guess.

Jiji Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Is this what Walter tweeted about a while back and people ripped on him because he had the temerity to question whether we should play judge, jury and executioner on social media or not?

StretchMediatedHypertrophy Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Possibly, Will Ospreay said something too but then walked back on it. There's a number of allegations, with not necessarily everyone getting named. Some of those allegations I believe come from former Progress competitor Polyanna (@GothicLolly) who is now retired. Sebastian (@IfYouSeeSeb), who was in the GZRs and had a run in Progress also, has been making cracks about 'nonces' in the British Wrestling scene for sometime. @BritWresCrusader probably the other account to check out if you want to try to get the names.

Basically in a span of under 24 hours, I'm going to be seeing WALTER vs. Darby Allin, Janela vs. Sasuke, and Lucha Bros vs. Teddy & Jack, all live. Is it possible to OD on pro wrestling? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
