You know what you're getting from AEW and the WM show but you hope that things are well-structured with other shows. I do feel bad for shows that aren't selling enough tickets but I'll still buy the shows that interest me. But with some that need to make ends meet doing these shows is a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation. and see that's just it. The indy promotions (most anyway) aren't requiring a worker test negative prior to working the show. It's not hard to do a test and get the results. Many places free that give you results within 20 mins. But the flip side is these wrestlers are also mingling with fans, taking pics, selling merch etc which could make the virus spread quicker. Damned if you do, damned if you don't is exactly the right way to look at this. Florida has less restrictions which is understandably why they are having the shows there. Last Collective handled Covid horribly and a few of those workers won't be working these shows. They flat out refused. Hoping though that someone steps up and has a star making week. I'd put $$$ on that person being Lee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any wrestler that's involved in The Collective this week has to do a rapid COVID test on Wednesday. Unless you're saying they're lying about this and are just putting it out there for good PR.

A female worker told me and I quote "it was a complete shitshow backstage. I came in for my show and left the next morning" Glad to see they are doing this though and thank you Casey for letting us know as i missed the tweet. Also sad to see Akira tested positive already and will be missing the shows. Makes me sad to see people bust their ass all year and have to miss the big show or big weekend.

AxB Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 He's vaccinated, though. Speaking of Effy, he's putting the Big Gay Brunch on the line in his Spring Break match against Gregory Iron. Meaning if Greg wins, we get this: Spoiler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Blue Sam Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Can't imagine The Collective $140 package selling well. Individual shows like Bloodsport will sell, but with WWE running 4 nights and IWTV showing a lot of cards that look better, there's a glut of wrestling already available for less money. I can't imagine there's that much demand for six different Allie Kat matches 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Guess it's a good thing Allie Kat is only wrestling twice during the Collective then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintedbynumbers Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 $140 for the shows 2-3 yrs ago maybe but now with the talent available I just don't know. My daughter has 3 lacrosse games over the weekend so I will likely miss the Friday 6pm shows and anything early Sat and Sunday. Do I want to pay for the package to watch then On Demand? I just don't know. I have IWTV already but will all of those shows be available on Demand immediately after? I know most shows are but will these Mania weekend ones be?

I saw up to the Chris Dickinson fight and fell asleep. The Shlak thing was the highlight up to that. If you are a fan of quick matches that are meant to look "real" I'd watch it. Or if you have a coupon and can watch for free. For the Culture, Jimmy Lloyd's show, and the Trent Acid cup day 1 were all much better IMO. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I'm curious about the Barnett/Mox match but not sure if it's worth paying $20 for it. I may consider the FTC show though but that's might be it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintedbynumbers Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 watching Real Hot Girl Shit now. Not bad so far. Holidead is about to wrestle and I've always enjoyed her work. Also going to be good to see Lady Frost on a big stage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't a similar idea going to happen for one of last year's Collective shows before it got postponed? I think Faye Jackson was hyping it up so not sure if it was her idea or something else.

This would be like Vince having the Andre memorial and it only being white giants. Although now I see some lucha guys coming in to switch it up a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you kindly, thought my memory was messing with me there at first. I'll have to take a look at how the shows were but will likely look at your recommendations when considering what to get also.

Curt McGirt Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Just watched that Bloodsport main and not only was it not Mox/Barnett like I thought it was, it was... well, awful. The rest of the card might be great though so I might give it a shot later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 The funny thing is I watched Bloodsport -- what was it, 3? 4? -- and I thought Davey Boy had the best match of the entire show (it was the one where Kross called out Big Dave). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Faye Jackson's baby, and it was supposed to be it's own show last year during the Collective. And the bolded part is really weird, my dude. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
