Right guys. I'm about to be banned from XWT. I've got 2 days to jack as much shit from there before they come down on me with the all-mighty banhammer. I'm getting a good portion of EVOLVE shows as I can't really get them anywhere else. What other shows should I pick up? I'm open to anything. ROH, PWG, CZW, Dragon Gate, Chikara, you name it.
after seeing the steen/generico ladder match i decided to take a look back at steenerico vs briscoes from Man Up. ****1/2 which is exactly what I put the SteenWolf match at. this tag match was definitely the more exciting of the two (despite how much i mark out for the steen/generico feud). I really want to give both of them the perfect five but I can't do it. In entertainment value their both *****+ but as matches, no.
it's also pretty funny how much steen looks like Shinya Hashimoto over the years in terms of fatness. Kinda pudgy > getting fat > fat > obese > morbidly obese.
Their Black Friday one was a piece of crap. So much stuff, but never any good sales. It blows. ROH always has the best, imo. It's why my collection is the biggest out of any Independent promotion.
Question: I asked a similar question in another thread but that was just for KOT. With the Asylum Arena closing its doors for wrestling after the CZW/Evolve double shot what will all the promotions that run the arena do? I read in an article that CZW might still be able to do shows there but I don't believe that actually will happen. Will companies like CZW,DGUSA, and CHIKARA find a new venue in Philadelphia or just stop running it all together and start supplementing it with NJ, NYC, or MASS.?
I wouldn't mind Easton being it is only 2 1/4 hours away from me. I just started being willing to drive over an hour for wrestling but I don't feel like driving in Philadelphia or NYC. Now having nothing to do with what I said. Kevin Steen vs. El Generico-DDT4 2007:***3/4
This match showed that they could put on a really good match already. Steen chopped the hell out of Generico for a lot of the match and unlike now where Steen is trying to kill Generico because he hates him so damn much, Steen just wanted to kill Generico to show how awesome he is. After watching this match and their BOLA match I really need to see Steen Wolf.
Driving in Philadelphia isn't difficult. It can take a while to get from point A to point B but it's not difficult.
I have no idea where all these companies plan on running now but I don't think they will leave the city. Philadelphia has so many indy shows and for the most part there are always a solid number of fans at every show in Philly. Leaving the city would be a terrible idea.
re: XWT, freeleeches are the way to go as well. I've gotten like 150 gigs of upload on my big huge ROH torrents while not having it count any download.
Also stay up until the first version of whatever WWE show pops up, download, seed for 24 hours or so.
The highway to get to Philadelphia was horror for me. I got cut off too many times to be okay with it. Now getting from the highway exit to the arena wasn't bad just had to remember that the lights were on the side of the road instead of above it. But I also don't live in a place with much in the way of traffic. I don't know what other venues are in Philadelphia that would be big enough for the promotions but also cost effective because I don't live there.
The Highways just are terribly set up. You basically have to cut people off and do stuff like that yo get out of all the "Exit Only" lanes that are all over the place. Once you get used to the roads they aren't bad because you know when to change lanes before traffic starts merging into it but if you don't travel there regularly I can see how that would be terrible.
And smitlick, ****1/2 for Whitmer/Jacobs? That must be one awesome match.
Was that the No-Rope Barbed Wire match because that was just a great way to end their feud around the indies. Their I Quit match I think on the IWA-MS 500th show was also great.
Can't remember what show he said it on while on commentary, but loved Ian's reason for liking Fans Bring The Weapons matches - You never have to pay for anything and you get to keep what you don't use.
Fans Brings the Weapons are fun as fan. I've only been at a show for one but it was awesome to go around with some friends and ask, "What do we want to see wrestlers hit each other with?"
