Phoenix Fury Legdrop

Also added to 6/11 in Lafayette: Samoa Joe vs. Homicide. It's sad that only 50-60 people will come to see it live, but at least I'll enjoy the hell out of the show.

Live thoughts from a useless mind (and I don't mean the entire Chicagowrestling.com "braintrust")... 1. DANNY DANIELS def. EDDIE EDWARDS in the opening contest. (Fun opener; Daniels busted out a lot of moves he usually doesn't bust out; Edwards looked good in his debut) 2. SUMIE SAKAI def. RAIN (w/ Lacey) with two missile dropkicks, followed by a moonsault. (Sumie got super over during the match, and busted out some cool stuff; Rain seemed to keep up.) 3. TRACY SMOTHERS & CHRIS HAMRICK def. EDDIE KINGSTON & BLACK JACK MARCIANO to advance to the second round of the tournament. (The first of three really, really fun Southern Comfort matches; Kingston and Tracy's interaction with each other was tremendous; Hamrick worked as the face-in-peril and did a great job of it, as usual) 4. CM PUNK & COLT CABANA (w/ Tracy Brooks) def. NIGEL McGUINNESS & CHAD COLLYER to advance to the second round of the tournament. (Lots of Cabana being goofy and having fun with the wacky European stuff; the Saints were way over, as the ROH fans came in droves; Nigel was face-in-peril, and him and Punk seemed to click really well, so well that I hope someone books them in a singles match in the future) 5. RICKY REYES & PUMA def. BRAD BRADLEY & RYAN BOZ (w/ Carmine DeSpirito) to advance to the second round of the tournament. (There seemed to be a lack of crowd heat, and I even overheard some guys sitting behind us calling the Pitbulls "jobbers". For "jobbers", the Pitbulls f'n rocked here. Reyes and Puma overcame the obvious size disadvantage and the awkwardness of having an even match with guys that much larger than them, and made it work. Puma worked without his mask here; is he doing that in SoCal now?) 6. HOMICIDE & B-BOY def. M-DOGG 20 & JOSH PROHIBITION to advance to the second round of the tournament. (Best M-Dogg and Josh match I've ever seen, as 'Cide and B-Boy seemed to work around their strengths (big spots), layer those accordingly, and then attached the story to the match, as they beat on M-Dogg as their face in peril. Amazing spot at the end, as M-Dogg went for a SSP on B-Boy, but 'Cide caught him by the neck on the way down and dropped him with an Ace Crusher, followed by a brutal Cop Killa on JPro for the win) 7. PETEY WILLIAMS def. JIMMY JACOBS (w/ Becky Bayless) & ALEX SHELLEY & RODERICK STRONG & "Spyder" NATE WEBB & AUSTIN ARIES & DELIRIOUS in an Elimination Match to earn an IWA World Title shot. (Really fun match outside of really abrupt eliminations of Delirious and Jacobs; Aries came out as a face and seperate from his Generation Next partners before joining them early in the match; insane spot during the dive sequence where Roderick Strong grabbed Nate's foot while going for a kick and flipped him over the top rope onto the other guys; ended up as Petety and Nate versus Generation Next in a three-on-two tag match; Nate evened the odds by pinning Shelley with a really cool half-nelson/chicken wing twisting DDT thingy; Petey then pinned Nate with the Canadian Destroyer before eliminating Aries the exact same way (Roderick got eliminated with Soylent Green before Shelley); Petey was once again over like rover by the end) 8. PETEY WILLIAMS def. BJ WHITMER (w/ Jim Fannin) to win the IWA World Heavyweight Championship, following the Canadian Destroyer flip piledriver. (Short, but sweet; the heat was awesome for this match; story was that BJ was trying to finish it quickly with big moves, but Petey capitalized on one mistake of BJ's to hit the Canadian Destroyer and win the belt; loud and long "Petey" chant post-match) 9. CM PUNK & COLT CABANA (w/ Tracy Brooks) def. RICKY REYES & PUMA to advance to the finals of the tournament. (For some reason, I can't remember too much from this, other than Cabana hopping around and imitating Speedy Gonzalez during the opening minutes of the match, and that it was good. I apologize for not remembering more, but I was out until about 3 last night and woke up way too damn early) 10. TRACY SMOTHERS & CHRIS HAMRICK def. HOMICIDE & B-BOY to advance to the finals of the tournament. (Tracy dancing to 'Cide's entrance music might have been one of the greatest things I've ever seen, and I would LOVE to see Homicide work Tracy after seeing them work together in this match; B-Boy and Homicide kept Chris Hamrick in the ring as their face-in-peril (I think; I know he was face-in-peril for at least two of the Southern Comfort tags of the night) before a great finishing sequence, including Hamrick MURDERING B-Boy with a Psycho Driver) 11. SAMOA JOE def. CHRIS HERO by choking him out. (GET THE TAPE! This was, by far, the most fun I've had at a live show in forever, as the crowd in Highland was the loudest I've ever heard an IWA crowd in person with the split chants for both Joe and Hero (both having louder chants than the other at one point or another in the match, but ending up being even); I enjoyed the dueling "Let's go Joe!"/"Let's Go Hero!" chants because, unlike in ROH where it seems to be something to tick off the New York bus crowd, there was actual hatred for Hero by a large section of the ROH fans in the crowd (at least the people who were around us that chanted for Joe; they only cheered Punk, Cabana, and Joe the entire night) as well as the anti-Hero marks that sit by the entrance to get themselves over and flip off Hero during his entrance, and the people who either were annoyed by them or wanted to see the IWA home team win; the match itself was great, but the crowd being so damn into it made it even more amazing) 12. SABU def. JERRY LYNN via submission with the Camel Clutch in a No DQ Match. (Even after intermission, nothing could compare to the Joe/Hero atmosphere, and I felt sorry for Lynn and Sabu for having to try; average Sabu-type match with crowd brawling, chair spots, and moonsaults, though I did notice that he worked Lynn's back with his flying stuff to wear him down for the Camel Clutch) 13. TRACY SMOTHERS & CHRIS HAMRICK def. CM PUNK & COLT CABANA to win the tournament and be crowned new IWA World Tag Team Champions. (By this point, the idiots behind us who kept mocking Tracy and Hamrick for being "retarded old men" had really gotten on my nerves, but you guys don't give a shit what I was thinking at that time, so let's move on...Opening consisted of all of the Saints, including Tracy Brooks, doing the "Tracy Shuffle" (Smothers, not Brooks), and then everyone raising their hands and getting cheered, including referee Muhammed/Jon Lovitz/Robert Lemke...just don't call him Bob; Tracy then schooled Punk on the mat before the Saints took command of the match and kept Smothers in the ring to work him over; funny moment where Cabana puts Tracy in the corner and does some wacky karate chops for comedy, to which Tracy just looks at him bewildered, switches positions, and pounds him with some of his own chops; all hell then breaks loose before Tracy tries to bring Cabana over with a sunset flip, Cabana tries to hold onto Punk, but Hamrick nails a LOUD superkick on Punk to send Cabana over and get the three-count; SCS turned heel after the match by jumping Hamrick and Smothers) Overall, another tremendous IWA show in Highland. There wasn't anything I would call bad, and there were a few matches that I would call really great (Southern Comfort/Team Friday, Hero/Joe, tag tourney finals). I just hope that the heat for Joe vs. Hero comes off half as good on tape as it did live. It was one of those very rare occasions where everything comes together and the atmosphere becomes amazing. It was fun to get to mark out again, and for that I thank Hero, Joe, and the rest of the IWA crew for bringing that opportunity.

Three big matches featuring Thrillogy members as a result of the happenings with Axel, plus Abe announces what the stips for the GAB main event are. That's all.

Actual development with the Rave and Assault Squad...yeah, I know, I've been lazy with them. Also, build is coming for a big match for the Great Angle Bash.

First off, I don't know if you've ever seen Nate Webb, but while he is lanky, he isn't that small. He could have more muscle to him, but it's not like he's a tiny person. And one more thing: Ryan Boz in KOTDM? Wow. That's...um, interesting.

I have no clue what happened with the linking of the Powerpoint graphics thingy for the European Rounds match, but here's the link: http://www2.musatcha.com/frigidsoul/OAOAST/eurorules.ppt Oh, and great show. Crystal/Zack rocked my socks off, and Black T/GPX was a triumphant return to PPV for our current tag champs.

I don't know if this is too soon or what, but if anyone doesn't have any plans for their face characters for June, lemme know. I need volunteers for an idea I got.

I've had a problem over the last six months or so where I'll buy a set of blank CD's, and then find out that I can't burn ANY of them since my computer reads them all as not being blank. It's hit-or-miss, as I seem to have to literally try burning a CD with at least one out of each set to see if they're useable. Does anyone know what the fuck is wrong with my computer or the discs or anything?

I definately agree with NateRizzle and Michrome's posts, as Petey is way better than he's been given credit for. I've only seen the Canada/Mexico X Cup, the five or six-way (I forget who all was in it, and therefore the number of workers in it) and his three-way with Jerry Lynn and Juvy, so I can't judge his TNA work based on what I've seen. But, he does not, in any way, suck. In fact, if you want to see him in a really great match designed for spots (much like any TNA X match ever), watch his six-way elimination match against Jimmy Jacobs, Emil Sitoci, Roderick Strong, Nate Webb, and Arik Cannon from IWA's Simply the Best, which was about as smartly worked as a six-man cluster can get.

Alongside the Women's Tournament, Ian Rotten announced tonight on the IWA Message Board that it will be, in a six-man elimination match dubbed "Survival of the Stiffest", CM Punk teaming with Samoa Joe and BJ Whitmer to face the team of Chris Hero, B-Boy, and Homicide.

According to the IWA Message Board "Upcoming Events" section, Sabu vs. Jerry Lynn has been added as a non-tourney match for 5/29, the tag tourney show.

I need the webspace for something else that I'm wanting to do for the Sly/Calvin match at School's Out. I would volunteer to run it, but I don't have the time to update it regularly and such.

European Rounds Format Match (12 Rounds): Sly Sommers vs. Calvin Szechstein

My version of Windows didn't come with Powerpoint on it; any clue where I could get the program?

Have these actually happened? If so, that is a REALLY shit show. Yep, October 2002 Intergalatic Wrestling Federation show in Crawfordsville, Indiana. To add to #26, they were also selling Legion of Doom shirts that Dale Gagne's version of the AWA produced.

24. The promotion does two shows at the same gym/armory, and then advertise Ronnie Vegas vs. Bobo Brazil Jr. in a cage match for the next show at the end of the second show. The promotion then doesn't come back for two years, and pulls the EXACT same scam the next time they come back. 25. Your main event heel/booker is wearing the facepaint for the clown gimmick he's doing in the opener, while wearing his usual ring gear as a heel while taking tickets at the front door. 26. Bootlegged WWF/E toys and shirts are sold at the gimmick tables by one of the workers' seven-year-old daughter. 27. Every show opens up with DJ's from the local radio station wrestling either a redneck heel or winning a battle royal. 28. A face challenges a heel to a match, the heel turns it down, and the ring announcer then grabs the mic to announce himself as the "Secret Commissioner" and orders the match to happen right then and there. 29. You have a guy doing a leprechaun gimmick...and he has both a Confederate flag tattoo on his bicep and the deepest Southern accent you've ever heard in your life. 30. You go to a show with a TLC match advertised...and they end up using one ladder, one table, a trash can, three plungers, and a stop sign. 31. One of the faces gets so mad that everyone's not paying attention to his match that he leaves the ring mid-sequence, grabs the mic, and attempts to get a "Peter Pan" chant started to get heat. Thing is, the heel that he's accusing to look like Peter Pan is a 40-something, skullet-owning three-toothed redneck. 32. You waste your money on a show promoted by Ronnie Vegas.

Skittage to set up for Sly's PPV European Rounds format match. Btw, I'm pretty sure I got another obligation again this Thursday, so whoever wants to post, please volunteer. I'd appreciate it.

I hadn't heard that being an affiliate lets you avoid the new NWA booking hassles. Plus, I've already heard horror stories of NWA affiliates booking AJ for shows, and then Bob Ryder pulling him off to do an un-affiliated show. Also, Ian and Behrens had been working together without Ian being a member since November.

I went to both shows, but due to exhaustion and such, I'm just going to give some general notes instead of an entire review of both nights: - Ian stopping the KOTDM didn't seem like a popular decision to the crowds both nights, but I honestly think it's a smart one. With the direction that IWA's going in, a yearly deathmatch tournament will just throw everything off-kelter. Also, I was quite disappointed when Ian announced that IWA-MS is the newest NWA member. Basically, being an NWA member entails that you pay some outrageous number each year for a title belt, some crappy t-shirts in your merch stand, and the right to call yourself "NWA (whatever)", which doesn't draw a dime. - Morat Posphorus is someone to look out for. When I first saw him come out in Lafayette, I thought to myself that this guy didn't look like he'd be too good. But, once that bell rang, he showed some really impressive stuff. I hope he's in IWA for awhile. - Petey Williams and his Canadian Destroyer (front-flip piledriver) are over like a motherf-cker in IWA. The move got the biggest pop of the night in Lafayette, and the crowd nearly turned Nigel McGuinness heel due to the outright support of Petey in Highland. Speaking of the Petey/Nigel match, it was really, really awesome. Petey tried using the Sharpshooter on Nigel four times, but figured out the fourth time that Nigel had found a way to apply himself so that he wouldn't have to tap to it like he did when Petey beat him in the series, so he moved on from it. The Canadian Destroyer out of nowhere was an amazing finish to the match. - I didn't think that the European Rounds match in Lafayette was as fun as the first one, but then again, I don't like Chad Collyer nearly as much as I like Chris Hero. They didn't seem to try and get the crowd into it that often. However, I will give them points on a creative finish. - Samoa Joe murdered the hell out of Arik Cannon and Steve Stone this weekend. To put it simply: if you like watching guys getting beaten to a pulp, Joe's matches this weekend are for you. To give credit where credit is due, both guys got in some pretty good shots on Joe, but once you watch the matches, all you will remember is Joe killing them. - The women's tag match on the first night blew away the ODB/Angel Williams match on Saturday. Mickie is so far ahead of most rookies that it's scary. The angle after the tag match where it took Nate Webb and Petey Williams to get Rain and Lacey out of the ring, as well as Rain being fearless enough to slap Ian Rotten, helped the women storyline cred-wise in IWA as much as the big Allison Danger/Daizee Haze pull-apart at "A Matter of Pride" where it took the entire roster to get them apart instead of the usual four referees. - Red didn't pull out as much of the flippy stuff as he used to, but he still was really good on both nights. I thought he clicked with Aries a lot better than he did with Matt, but neither match was nowhere near not being good. - Speaking of Matt, the Delirious/Sydal-B-Boy/Homicide tag match on Friday was incredible. The basis of the match was that B-Boy and Homicide came in to beat the hell out of a couple of guys and qualify in the tournament, while Sydal and Delirious used their speed and agility to avoid being pounded as much as often. Homicide plastering Delirious in the middle of his weird "twirling the opponent's arm in armbar position" thing was hilarious. Delirious didn't mind dying in this match, between taking some stiff-as-hell forearms from both opponents, as well as the running bootscrape and facelift double-team that left his mouth bloody. - I didn't really find BJ Whitmer's matches on either night to be as impressive as the other stuff. BJ can put on some really good stuff when he wants to, but for one reason or another, couldn't put it together this weekend. - Dunn and Marcos coming out during Ian's opening speech in Highland was the mark-out moment of forever for me. I'm about as big of a mark for those two as it comes, and seeing them in person was awesome. Ian's reaction to those two ("Do you two always drive tens of hours to shows that you aren't booked on?") was tremendous as well. Boz & Bradley ended up murdering them in the tag match after a spurt of really cool fast-paced double-team moves, but it was a really fun murder. - The four-way tag match from Saturday was really fun as well. I was wishing that Nate would have come out with Mister ZERO, seeing as if the four guys that came out before Nate were all Chikara-based. Icarus took a beating with some brutal, brutal chops and his chest really showed it. The Wildcards were a riot, hiding behind people in the bleachers during the ring introductions so that the other six wouldn't think that they were there (DP: "Ladies and gentlemen...the WILDCARDS!" Kingston: "We're not here! Shut up!") Eddie Venom didn't impress that much in the two Lafayette matches I saw him in (Friday night, and the January show), but he was pretty good here. He brought the stiffness, as did Kingston, Ian, and Stone. The dive sequence, ending with Kingston suplexing Ian over the top rope and onto the other six, was great. - Homicide/Hero was really awesome, as expected. The dickwads who apparantly came just to get themselves over by "being clever" and booing/chanting crap at Hero were so obviously ignorant that it wasn't even funny (though Hat telling them to "Shut the fuck up!" was tremendous). It was a bit slower-paced than their KOTDM match, but still really great nontheless. Overall, both shows were really great and once again, you'd be crazy to pass them up when SMV releases them. One last note: I'd like to pass on condolences to the family of Ian Rotten. Ian announced over the mic after his match with Danny Daniels on Friday that his grandmother had passed away.

Does anyone know of any good sites where you can customize your own t-shirt, but they don't make you mass-buy the product?

Reminder: Everything needs to be sent in to me by 5 PM Central Time tomorrow. Thank you.

Going by the ones I've seen... Delirious Character-wise, he's a combination of Sabu, the Missing Link, and a science experiment gone wrong. Work-wise, he can do just about everything. I've seen him have some really awesome spot-based matches with Matt Sydal, and I've also seen him hang on the mat with Chad Collyer and Nigel McGuinness. Strengths: One of the most versatile guys on the indies today, can work any style asked of him; he has enough charisma and a wacky enough gimmick that he doesn't have too many problems getting over in new places. Weaknesses: No real complaints about his actual work, but the gimmick only seems to work as a face. I haven't seen any of his Gateway stuff, though I am soon; but from what I've seen of him in Wildside and IWA, he's funny and entertaining as a face, and kind of annoying as a heel. Scorpio Sky I've only seen his stuff from Bad Ass Mother 3000 and Are You Adequately Prepared to Rock?, but he seems like a fun lucha-style worker. I haven't seen him work much US-style psychology. It doesn't mean that he can't, just that I haven't seen him do any. Super Dragon He works US-indy strong style, combined with an occasional lucha spot here and there. He's as intimidating as a pudgy, short guy wearing pajamas gets. Strengths: He gets his point across very well when he's on, and is really good at the bully role in a match. Weaknesses: His stiff strikes and beatings come across like senseless beatings for the sake of senseless beatings sometimes; seems to half-ass a lot. Brad Bradley He works a very large, mean monster-type style. He also has one of the more superstar-like looks on the indies, as he really is quite the large man. Strengths: The more athletic of the two in his tag team; wrestles like a man his size should (sounds silly, but nowadays on the indies, you got a lot of guys Bradley's size wanting to work like they're 5'6 and under 200 pounds, or junior heavyweights wanting to be monsters) Weaknesses: When in singles matches, he seems more move-based and not necessarily story-based; in-ring personality can be a little bland at times. Never seen Babi Slymm; only seen one Joey Ryan match. Steve Stone He can work the current US-indy style, and has had some really great matches against both Danny Daniels and Chris Hero, but he's more apt for brawling, which he's getting to be excellent at. Strengths: Great at being a face; brings a higher energy to his brawling than a lot of guys Weaknesses: Not too great as a heel; can get carried away with his strikes during offense (just ask Skeeter Frost or Zack Gowan, hehe) Never seen O'Doyle.
