It's how I know there are tons of shitty indies in north GA, but not much in south GA.

Sorry for trying to discuss wrestling in the wrestling thread. I'll leave y'all to your gimmicks

You know you drove him away because who were being passive aggressive with him over something stupid right? Plus you didn't want to discuss wrestling but were going after him specifically.

 

[Heroman]

Man, all the good indy are fucking like 2 hours away from where I live, fuck that shit I rather just wacth wwe.

 

[strobogo]

All the indie events in Indiana are either outside of Chicago or at the Kentucky border, both of which are 2 1/2-3 hours away from me. Especially not worth it to see IWA MS dog shit. The only show I've found within an hour of me is a CHIKARA show in Indy sometime this Summer. And fuck Chikara. There are, however, 3 WWE events coming up. Smackdown in May in Evansville (where they always run Smackdown), house show in June in Ft. Wayne, and Raw the next night at Bankers Life. I'd never go to Raw again unless it was the night after WM. Smackdown sucks. House show isn't worth it if there is Raw the next night.



Aiii, I'm reading this book about opposing viewpoints on suicide. It mostly seems to be about assisted suicide. One of the viewpoints claims that the Netherlands has or had a problem with involuntary euthanasia. Is that accurate? The viewpoint was that of saying how giving people the right to die would start a slippery slope of by law declaring that some lives aren't worth living. And he used the Netherlands as an example. What are your people doing over there?

That Bray Rowan match was actually pretty good. Forget sometimes how fun Bray can be in the ring. Weird it took Rowan to bring it out of him.

I am sorry if my harmless questions hurt Alucard in some way but that does not give anyone of you peacocks license to gang up and cyber-bully me.

 

[Man God]

Yeah I don't see any need to beef with Alucard or try to shame him for his choices. He's a good person at heart.

I thought we had a whole week of why we shouldn't go to our local indys.

or do I need to start posting flyers again.

Honestly I think OT needs a thread like that. So people look up their local shit.

Posted this in the WWE Network thread first, but anyways, I have never been much into wrestling, but after one of the guys I really liked for his flamboyance when I was young, recently was inducted in the hall of fame - Macho Man Randy Savage - I have started to watch a few of his matches, and man, this guy was really an amazing performer. And that makes me wonder why the WWF was so adamant on him retiring. First that angle with the Ultimate Warrior, and then just a few years later, once again pushing him to a color commentator role for no reason, at a time when the WWF seemingly was screaming for some better top guys. Is there more to this, or was it just bad writing/planning on behalf of the WWF?

Are you comparing the other posters to Dalton "The Peacock" Castle? Because, if you are, thats quite the compliment.

Here's a couple posters of a couple local indies.

If my memory serves, Macho got injured for a bit and Vince wanted to phase him out. Vince being stubborn...well, there you go.

I know some of our more storied historians in here can give you the whole story though.

The indie wrestling stuff here is dogshit. Really bad. Regret going. Won't go again likely. If I heard good things about a promotion coming through a region I would probably give them a shot.

I also watch Lucha Underground on Dailymotion. I'd love to buy a blu ray collection when available.

fuck, i was just about to post this one

so here's this one instead

they most definitely used an EWR name generator for that event

They were going through a youth movement and felt Macho was a better asset as a host and commentator than in ring performer. Savage disagreed and went to WCW as a result. That's all there is to it.

I'm willing to give ANY indie a shot, they're doing their thing and even a dogshit show can be a ton of fun.

Another local one, I thought it was inspired yet horrendous. I...yeah.

Question - when Rollins cashed in at WM31 and pinned Reigns, did anyone else hear him say, "Thank you so much"? I didn't believe it at first, but upon review, Seth does indeed thank Roman.

Man i know so many of those guys from the old Gateway Chanpionship Wrestling out of St. Louis. That was a fun promotion that gave birth to Matt Sydal, Delirious, Daizee Haze & Mischif before going tits up after the late 90's.

"Steel Rage Pro Wrestling" naming game is on point

 

[Morfeo]

If my memory serves, Macho got injured for a bit and Vince wanted to phase him out. Vince being stubborn...well, there you go.

Thaanks! I didnt know about the injuy. Vince being stubborn we all know thouh.

They were going through a youth movement and felt Macho was a better asset as a host and commentator than in ring performer. Savage disagreed and went to WCW as a result. That's all there is to it.

But as far as I can tell, there was nobody quite like him at the time. He had an amazing entrance, fantastic promos, looked cool with all his various costumes, and was one of the best wrestlers. Hell - he even got long and great matches out of guys like Warrior. I dont know, to me it just seems like a complete waste of maybe their best talent.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Steel Rage really puts some...interesting effort into their posters. I love and cringe at a lot of them. A few more...

Should I stop? The list keeps going...

Brett Young is ready for a run, IMO.

What a great site. No pictures of any of the wrestlers that have ever wrestled for them. Their roster page is only ex WWE/ECW/WCW/Memphis wrestlers. The only picture of anyone is the promoter.

Stacked card.

man, i hope Rick Flare is in the main event

Thats #1 Brett Young to you jabronie marks!

Weird how a Indy promo promotes black guys better than the wwe.

I like TKO's look, Vylash. And I admire the "Wreckin-Billies"' name.
