Indy Wrestling

[indyfan8]

I'm new these boards, seems like the wrestling section should have a sub-topic about Indy's like ROH etc, unless I missed it somewhere... Anyways, anybody watch Independent Wrestling in here, cuz there's lots of good ones on the net, or perhaps by you locally??

I try & follow atleast the ones that put regular media up such as roh, pwg, chikara, dgusa, evolve, clash etc, theres probably ones i'm leaving out...

In any case, if you're unfamiliar w/ any Indy Wrestling, let me throw a bit your way, I'll post a this recap video of a company I subscribe to on youtube, called CLASH Wrestling, and of EVOLVE but i can post different stuff up in here if you guys are interested...

opinions, yay, nay??

[Savio]

No one gives a fuck about the indy scene honestly.

[MoFo]

Nay

[Razzamajazz]

you mean there's wrestling outside of the pure gold that is WWE?

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Some people watch it, some people don't. I'm enjoying Evolve and DG USA. I'm curious to see how post Pearce ROH will be, as my interest in ROH pretty much bottomed out when he was booking.

[Juan]

Been watching some DGUSA. Haven't caught up with ROH in a while.

[indyfan8]

personally, some of the best wrestling comes out of the Indies, its the WWE that dumbs it down a bit... Juan i'm sure you can concurr w/ watching some DGUSA hah

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Just bought tickets for the next ROH show in Michigan, as it'll be Survival of the Fittest 2010, which is just sexy.

[indyfan8]

kevin, roh in michigan huh?? thats where CLASH is based out of.. i'm sure you must've heard of em... Truth Martini, Jimmy jacobs and more of those guys are always in clash..

[Gertner]

Must.....resist.......gahhhhhh!

[Destro 2.0]

kevin, roh in michigan huh?? thats where CLASH is based out of.. i'm sure you must've heard of em... Truth Martini, Jimmy jacobs and more of those guys are always in clash..

I have some clash I am actually friended by Tommy Tydie and they that large Fellow Wrecking Ball right?

[Xero]

Went to my first indy/EVOLVE event last month. Really pulled me in. Already have a ticket for the next EVOLVE.

[Gertner]

...... Ugh, I gotta go. This is way too tempting.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

kevin, roh in michigan huh?? thats where CLASH is based out of.. i'm sure you must've heard of em... Truth Martini, Jimmy jacobs and more of those guys are always in clash..

Actually, I haven't. My attention span for indy wrestling has dropped due to grad school. I'll check them out though if the opportunity presents itself. Very tempting, as I'm a huge Jacobs fan.

[Gertner]

Does your mom get pissed when she's waiting for you in the parking lot when the show runs late?

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Ah, Gertie, you're trying to be funny. That's adorable.

[indyfan8]

Destro - yea wreckingball works in clash. Tommy Tydie refers to himself at Tommy Treznik now, i've seen him among other guys in clash kinda spread throughout various companies online... im an avid indy watcher so...

Kevin, you said ya like Jacobs, ever heard of chikara? they did an event in Taylor, MI called clash vs chikara, i know jacobs rep'd clash that night, that video is online too...its short:

CLASH Wrestling: CLASH vs CHIKARA (Feb 2010 Recap)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu730rTlr0Y

but yea i catch a bit of clash, chikara, roh i'm intermittent with..

[Gertner]

Do you closely resemble Jonah Hill?

Do you jerk off to the thought of Davey Richards workrate?

What's it like living in your parents basement?

Yeah, I've heard of Chikara. Don't really follow it though. Like I said, I don't follow a ton of indy stuff anymore, as grad school sucks up most of my time.

[CSL]

lol this guy being in the red already

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Gertie, you really try too hard.

[Gertner]

Lol Chikara, Gandolf vs Harry Potter in a wretling ring!!!

[indyfan8]

gotcha gotcha... yea its easier to follow shit w/ some of the big ones that post videowire-esque type things, such as roh... they have the videowires, chikara has something called event center, and clash does a 15 min recap called "this month in clash"... most of which containing of recaps of some of the matches, all of which is really good wrestling, shit you cant watch on tv LOL

[What Would Kevin Do?]

As far as ROH goes, it also helps that they put all their HDNET shows up on Youtube.

[CSL]

He's green now. Stop being nice you nice bastards.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Lol Chikara, Gandolf vs Harry Potter in a wretling ring!!!

I bet that'd get a match of the year chant... :shifty:

[Gertner]

It would, but then the next 7 matches after it would get it as well.

[indyfan8]

Ha, speaking of gandalf in wrestling... thats actually what i love about chikara and clash specifically, lots of gimmicky guys, reminds me old school 90's WWF but much more action in the ring...

[Gertner]

Do you find the matches hard to rate without your workratometer?

Is your master plan to lose your virginity before 40?

[indyfan8]

always gotta have my workratometer on me i guess??

[Xero]

There's an app for that.

[Destro 2.0]

How is Evolve all together I am looking forward to checking them out. Also, Do you follow CZW at all. Since DJ Hyde has taken over they have been pretty good. What are your thoughts?

[indyfan8]

I haven't caught much of CZW in years, i'm familiar with their stuff, but dont follow it... In fact, i've caught glimpses of Evolve, looks good, and i hear good things..

Mostly watch CLASH, CHIKARA, and dabble about in ROH

[Juan]

Destro made a friend. That's adorable.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Jacobs and Moxely happened at the last show... Not sure if they're doing it again or not.

[Xero]

The Rahway show is the one after the PPV. Not sure if it's a double shot, pre-recorded PPV or if it'll just be a rehash of the previous show. Or entirely different, not sure.

[Gertner]

Douchebags tend to find each other Juan.

[Fignuts]

Destro, you can't worship gertner, and be an indy wrestling fan at the same time.

[AJHayes]

It's like Christmas in this thread.

[Kane Knight]

Lol Chikara, Gandolf vs Harry Potter in a wretling ring!!!

Snape vs Dumbledore...BOOK IT!

Also, the Hebrew Hammer? Epic. :D

[indyfan8]

Yea, Destro, saw that Jimmy Jacobs promo, think on his Facebook or through that indy wrestling reporting website prowrestlingponderings.com..

whats kinda cool is there is this big Tag Tournament called NPCI that CLASH does every year bringing in representatives from a bunch of companies such as Chikara, Roh, Inter-Species... Hopefully next year Evolve & DG-USA will have reps, but i think its a summer show they've been hosting for 3-4 years now, so you'd probably be into that..

Only thing I could find on youtube about it was their 2010 Commercial promoting it, and the 2009 Recap, unable to find a 2010 Recap - -

[Gertner]

Nobody cares about your douchebag indie wrestling. It's still real to 99 percent of you.

[The Pope]

If you talk about indie wrestling as in the NWA promotions and RoH than okay. But when you start bringing up CZW or any other crap in your neighborhood that's when it's not even worth talking about.

[indyfan8]

Shut up. What is okay to talk about, isn't up to you. This is a wrestling forum. Not "The Pope's favorite wrestling companies" forum.

He is talking about what he likes in his own, self-contained thread. It's not hurting anything. A lot of the respones in this thread, are why the rest of TPWW views this forum as a joke.

[Jordan]

If you like this shit your a fucking loser, even more of a loser than the typical WWE or TNA fan, I mean a sad fucking pathetic nobody loser. Get a fucking life.

[Fignuts]

Not as pathetic as beating up women.

[Juan]

oh snap

[James Steele]

SHIT JUST GOT FUCKING EPICCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

[Gertner]

Jordan X is spot on.

[CSL]

WITH HIS RIGHT HAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Really a Dr. Horrible wrestling gimmick? Does he sing like Neil Patrick Harris too? I don't know any of those wrestlers and I don't go to any Indy show that I don't know at least one wrestler either from internet searching or watching them on TV.

Stink face with a fucking toilet seat on it? You guys are disgusting. Are you a wrestler in this thing or just a fanboy?
