Curt McGirt Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I downloaded a hardcore punk comp from Bandcamp the other day and did a double-take when I saw one of the bands was named CHIKARA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricR Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 No doubt as shocked as I was a few years ago when I got a package from Relapse that had an Ultramantis Black album in it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyanide Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 On WALTER: As a Lesnar-esque featured monster in the likes of PROGRESS and EVOLVE, he's a top 5-10 guy in the world I would pay money to the see. Looks, moves, and acts like a legitimate ass-kicker and a force of nature in the ring. S/O to @iowanole for the Hansen/MVC-era gaijin hoss archetype - really hits the nail on the head. Unrelated: The winds of change are all but confirmed by the latest WWN mailer: Quote April 24th: Matt Riddle vs. Keith Lee for the EVOLVE Championship has been signed for EVOLVE 105 in the Detroit area. This will be The Final War. It is the last time Riddle vs. Lee will be booked by WWN. We'll have much more on why this match is taking place, and why it will be the final contest between these two warriors, in the upcoming weeks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 To me, the comparison point to WALTER is prime Mark Henry. What has impressed me so much in him is his selling, which isn't at all traditional. There's a real consequence to everything that happens in the ring around him, both what he does and what's done to him, but he's exceptionally careful at giving appropriately, or through expressing that consequence in more subtle ways. Ultimately that makes everything come off as more meaningful and impactful, especially in an indy world where most people do so much that nothing ends up mattering at all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hagan Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 WALTER is excellent and is quite something to see live. His WXW stuff with Dragunov is great. What is unique about WALTER is he's hossy but his aura isn't based on squashes and no-selling. He can go fifty/fifty with a smaller guy but doesn't come across as weak. His drops are legit, too.

Low-Ki: "Then stop working there" Client: "Should I find another job before giving my notice?" Low-Ki: "I don't understand what you're saying? Just don't go back there." Client: "But I have to finish some projects fi-" Low-Ki: "No you do not. That is not the warriors way do not let them tell you what you do."

Beech27 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 "Incites" is a hilarious example of choosing the wrong word, which is, given the context, actually perfect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not know this until this post. Last year I started getting adult diaper ads in my margins. Every single day, every single site, men's adult diapers, women's adult diapers, almost exclusively ads for adult diapers. Especially a new kind called "Silhouettes", because they fit so comfortably under your clothing! Over a month of my margins being filled with adult diaper ads. And then one day my Pissed Jeans record - the one I pre-ordered over a month earlier - arrived in the mail, and I realized that google had taken my searches for Pissed Jeans to mean that I had a problem regular pissing my pants. As if I had googled "Dear google, how can I prevent constantly soaking my dungarees in piss?" And can we just cut to you telling me how many members of Protomartyr have been Ants? 5 2 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really loved that Ultramantis Black EP. Really hope there is some sort of follow up to it, it was just good solid fun. In fact I think Mr Zero was one of the guys who played on that record with UMB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Yo, that Ultramantis Black EP IS pretty good. Not 100% my cup of tea (nor is pretty much anything Relapse puts out anymore) but it's solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted April 26, 2018 Author Share Posted April 26, 2018 BTW - I know it came up somewhere (here, the Japan thread, I don't remember) but for the folks asking about Zack Sabre Jr still working indie dates. Meltzer had in the newest WON that ZBJ moved back to the UK so he is going to take less US dates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
