Paid Members Accident Prone Posted April 2, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted April 2, 2019 It's going to be a mental week. I'll be subbing to IW-TV in order to catch the highlights from the likes of ISW, IWS and Orange Cassidy's show. I'm all ready subbed to NJ World so I'll have access to New Japan at MSG, so my biggest purchases are going to be the Spring Break shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamTH17 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Brutal looking schedule, but also where I'm going to try and jump headfirst back into wrestling. I've not really watched much in a good while, so this seems like as good a place of ever to try and pique my interest with the amount of variety going on. It'll be a ballache, trying to fit everything around my uni schedule, but I'll give it a bash. Think my schedule is going to be: Wednesday - Wrestlepro Comedy Show (Santino and Cabana, Kikutaro and Swoggle) Thursday - EVOLVE 125 (Theory/O'Reilly, Allin/Henry, Kingston and Gacy vs Takeshita and MAO) at 5pm, Bloodsport (Suzuki/Barnett, Mir/Severn, Takeda/Gresham) at 9pm, with probably a bit of sniffing around the wXw show for Lucky Kid vs Starr and the FCP/DEFY show for CCK vs Red/Eagles/Puma during the fights that don't look too great. Then it'll be WrestleCon at 12pm (Ospreay/Bandido, ZSJ/Strickland, Liger and Lucha Bros) before trying to see if I can stay awake for iMPACT at 3am (only really interested in Swann/Flamita and RVD/Sabu vs Lucha Bros). Friday - WrestleCon at 4pm (wouldn't usually bother, but I finish early and have no other plans), RevPro at 8pm (Tana/Ospreay vs ZSJ/Suzuki, Ishii/Starr, 3K/Aussie Open), and then rounding off with Night One of Janela's Spring Break (Onita, Janela, Otani/Gage and TAKA/Orange Cassidy) mixed in with some of the matches from MLW Battle Riot (Swann vs Pillman Jr, Havoc vs LA Park, Daga vs Low-Ki) Saturday - I'll catch up with TakeOver: New York on the Network in the morning, before settling down for GCW's Orange Cassidy show, which will hopefully be a light-hearted affair. Then I'll probably sleep until it's time for NJPW/ROH at MSG. Sunday - AJPW Champions Carnival if I'm awake (unlikely), Wrestlemania. Monday - Sleep for 78 hours. Thank fuck I've got 3 weeks off for Easter to catch up on all the sleep. I'm never going to want to watch wrestling again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Accident Prone Posted April 2, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted April 2, 2019 I'd skip the EVOLVE shows if I were you. The crowds are always shockingly quiet and subdued, and their production values tend to be bollocks (and not in a charming indy way). They're defiantly not the first impression you need of wrestling after a break away. Starting with Bloodsport is the way to go. Also, don't forget about Spring Break Part 2 (happening right after the New Japan show so it'll make for excellent Sunday morning/afternoon entertainment).

Oh I’ve heard about the EVOLV shows, I’ve been keeping up with results and the wrestlers and that, just feels like it’s been an age since I’ve sat down to watch a full show of pretty much anything. I was actually surprisingly close to skipping Bloodsport. I watched it last year, and found myself enjoying the concept, just the execution wasn’t great. It felt on the most part really contrivied and “pro wrestler playing MMA” - but the lineup this year has done enough to draw me back in. I’ll be swapping between that and the wXw show running alongside. Completely forgot about Janela’s show being in 2 parts. That’ll make for nice Sunday afternoon viewing instead of the Wrestlemania pre-show, presuming I haven’t been induced into a coma by that point.

Bohan Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 The sleeper hit of this weekend has to be BlackCraft's No Apologies. The card is absolutely stacked. Also MLW's Battle Riot II (their annual 40 man rumble) should be tons of fun, it's live on Bein Friday night so should be up on their YouTube channel on Sunday.

Paid Members Accident Prone Posted April 3, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted April 3, 2019 3 hours ago, HarmonicGenerator said: Brendan from Wheatus? Yep, as in the lead singer. Wheatus played 'Teenage Dirtbag' live for Nate Webb's entrance at a GCW show last year, and Brendan got involved in the match to help Nate defeat MJF. This year marks 20 years of wrestling for Nate (and presumably 20 years of coming down the entrance way to 'Teenage Dirtbag'), hence Brendan partnering with Nate for the Clusterfuck. Also, for those of you still struggling to piece all the shows together, take a look at this fantastic document put together by Benno; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyc Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 For another FiteTV referral code to get some credit off shows this weekend (as well as giving me some extra credit in the process) try this one out - wwy17em If the code doesn't work for whatever reason, apologies in advance. I'm still new to figuring out how FiteTV works myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BomberPat Posted April 5, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted April 5, 2019 Anyone still after Fite referral codes can also use mine - nd94g2j - for some free credit. https://www.fite.tv/invite/nd94g2j Saying that, I don't know if I'll be able to take advantage of it, as the app consistently freezes on "loading payment info". I think it may be because you can't mix credit and other payment methods? Josh Barnett's Bloodsport was the show I was most looking forward to this weekend, and it delivered. Patchy in places, but when it was good it was great. Josh Barnett vs. Minoru Suzuki is easily my Match of the Year so far, and by a wide margin Barnett's best ever match. Bonus points for Andy from Every Time I Die looking like a beefy Dick Strawbridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted April 5, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted April 5, 2019 I saw that Bloodsport thing all over Twitter last night. How does it work? Seemed to be a ring with no ropes. Saw footage of Mir and Severn in what looked like shoot wrestling but other stuff that looked like bad worked MMA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is it's all shoot style wrestling. UWFI style. I may not get round to it until way after mania but it's intriguing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
