Downloaded a pretty sweet match pack of Ricochet yesterday from XWT. It's mostly DGUSA and EVOLVE matches but there's also IWA/CZW and some random Indies I don't follow. I checked out one of the matches from the pack, an arial assault match from CZW from what looks like 2007-2009. It's really cool to see him bust out some devastating moves on an old show like that. Comparing him then and now is like night and day, everything he does nowadays looks so crisp and smooth, and he's really gotten a great look instead of looking like he just got out of high school lol. Luckily he doesn't have that goofy fucking haircut anymore either.

The match in question was Ricochet vs Pinkie Sanchez vs Ryan McBride vs Spyral BKNY vs Chuck Taylor. The whole match was pretty awesome and had some great spots which I always like.



If anyone here isn't familiar with his work I really recommend downloading the pack and giving him a try. Imo he's one of the best wrestlers in the world. Hope to see him in WWE one day.

Next up; Ricochet vs Kota Ibushi. Already watched that match recently but I absolutely loved it and can't wait to watch it again!

Ricochet is definitely one of the most improved wrestlers on the indies. I'm not sure if that's the correct term here, but who would have taken you seriously in 2007 if you told them that he would be a top gaijin in Japan? He's virtually the total opposite of what he was back then.


SMASH Wrestling has released the CANUSA Classic 2014 if anyone follows them. SMV will have it eventually but I prefer buying from SMASH directly. Slightly more expensive, but you get HD, SD and Mobile versions available.

1. Flood Elite vs Golden Trio - **1/2
2. 3Peck0 vs The Devastation Corporation - ***1/2
3. Oliver Grimsley vs Mark Andrews - **1/4
5. Submission Squad vs THE GENTLEMANS CLUB - GREAT
6. Shynron vs Sanada in the RDV Finals - ***1/4
7. King of Trios Final: Golden Trio vs Devastation Corporation - ***1/2-***3/4

The first half of the show was ok, the second was great. Opener was fun but could've been better. 3Peck0/DC was very good, both of these teams are my MVPs for this years KOT. Grimsly/Andrews was fine, kinda generic, but probably because I don't know them. SS/TGC was great fun, loved it. Sanada/Shynron was a really, really good sprint. Wish it was longer, tho. Loved what I saw, hopefully we'll get a rematch down the line because they had a really nice chemistry. Glad Shynron won the whole thing, he's awesome. ME was great, had some things that bothered me, like Icarus completely no-selling a tombston piledriver, but other than that, the match was great. Aftermatch was amazing, Kingston is the man. As I see it, we're going to get Kingston/Jacobs and Icarus/Deucalion in the future? well, I'm all for it. Overall the whole weekend was fun, obv not as good as 2012, but still surpassed my expectations.

For Goldfinger and Daylights they were sometimes into the matches sometimes not and the TNA-esque finishes deflated them. The big roster brawls and Ashley Remington usually got the most reaction. For Not Enough the crowd was into the entire show until the end, but that's what was supposed to happen with Deucalion coming out.

So for anyone who follows beyond, there was a shooting outside of fete early yesterday morning so the beyond show was cancelled. Also not sure if the venue will be opening back up at all, as they have a mandatory hearing today to decide the future of the nightclub. Beyond just found their niche with that building and now they might have to start from square one.

Gonna have to hold off on BOLA till Highspots or PWG has a sale. Will probably pick up that rare AJ Syles matches set in the mean time.

Also, a four star Chris Hero match? In 2014? I'm very suspicious. I believe I have that show on my PC since it the week it took place but I never got around to watching it.
