The Indy Wrestling Thread (Spoilers)

[Dr. Zoidberg]

I saw BCW on channel 31 last week, which is a community TV station. Ivelisse was wrestling some Aussie chick.

Severn was still good at the Bloodsport show. I haven't seen Shamrock pro wrestle since TNA in 2002. But he's in shape so it might be good.

Bryan Alvarez and Filthy Tom vs Nick Gage and Thomas Santell @ Americarana

[Bandit]

Nick Gage needs a podcast with Bryan like Tom has. He can become one of Granny's Boyz.

Flippymania!

Flippy shit.

I'm watching the GCW 2 Cups Stuffed show now and it's great so far.

The Lucha 6 man was insane. And it's weird that Jerry Lawler walks like he's having bad back pain, but he was wrestling just as well as he was 20 years ago at the end of USWA. The bad part was the microphone audio is shit (typical of most indies) so his promo before the match is hard to hear. But he had an impressive match for a 70 year old.

I haven't watched the show yet, but people are saying Santino's match was good enough to revive his career as a serious wrestler (he's been in DDT doing comedy matches.) Like with Eugene/Nick Dinsmore people forget he used to be good before getting a comedy gimmick.

I was half expecting a chainsaw or a bazooka or a thermonuclear bomb to be pulled out from under the ring next. Holy shit.

We The Independent will hold a Unionize Workshop on Tuesday, October 29 at May Day rooms on 88 Fleet St. in London from 10 am until 5 pm. The workshop is free of charge and food will be provided. Contact Info@WeTheIndependent.com to book. Earlier this month, We The Independent's Co-Founder David Starr joined Wrestling Inc.'s WINCLY (subscribe here on iTunes) and spoke about the need for wrestlers to form a union.

"Honestly, we have to come together as a work force," Starr said. "There are great steps being taken as there's a women's promotion in the UK that just recognized Equity which is the entertainment trade union based in the UK that my company is working with. Basically, my company is taking portions of our proceeds from our merchandise to sponsor trade union membership for independent wrestlers and wrestlers in general.

"The biggest thing, and this recently happened through our We the Independent push, Equity has negotiated with their insurers to include pro wrestlers in their disability and welfare insurance. Meaning, if a wrestler is going to be hurt and miss work for two or more weeks, and they are a member of Equity, then they are able to claim money for their loss of earnings. That's up to 150 pounds a week for up to a year. That's unbelievable."

“I told y’all 2020, HOG — House Of Glory, we’re doing it big. I’m gonna tell you all what’s going to be so different and so unique. I told you all we’re playing chess, so imagine me going back and getting a guy like CM Punk. I could make him a star. Holla at me, man.”

[Dr. Zoidberg]

CP Munk is about all he will get. And Kendall Windham + Curly Bill from the West Texas Rednecks.

Master P could sweeten the deal by giving him a No Limit records contract too so he can drop diss tracks on WWE and Colt.
