New Chinese Promotion Funded by a wealthy dude -- Now airing on Twitch

[slik]

Saw this article on Reddit and watched a few minutes -- really good production values and set-up -- probably the type of set up the Impact Zone should have...

Wow that is fantastic, I hope they kill it. The wrestling is very Dragon Gate, crazy... not my favorite thing but it's cool.

Pulp Fiction delivering a heinous beatdown after the match -- this other dude on the outside of the ring looks like he has CENA NUFF of Pulp Fiction

[Fignuts]

watched for 10 minutes but it was all synchronized dance numbers, so I stopped.

[slik]

China Cena now rushing to the ring to save his friend...announcer trying to keep order...I think China Cena is being challenged to a match in this very ring, tonight!!

WTF IS GOING ON

[slik]

The entire lockerroom is gathering around the fallen China Cena while a woman has come out and started singing 'Amazing Grace' in Chinese...I think China Cena might be dead!

I guess China Cena died, time for the next match...must be the main-event, a six-man tag

[Shisen Kopf]

They better have a rassrer called The Great Wall or NO WATCH

[slik]

six-man was short...entire roster back in the ring now

[slik]

Championship Belt lowered from the rafters to hang above the ring ends the 1st episode of OWE

Overall a good show...minus the crying and dance breaks

[LibSuperstar]

Guess I have my answer as to whether Chinese promotions exist. Reminds me of Impact and MLW.

[slik]

I still need to watch MLW...have heard really good things about it and that it has a different feel to it than WWE/Impact

[Simple Fan]

MLW is pretty good. Not sure about it having a different feel than Impact though when they use alot of the same talent. First episode was a lead in to Impact's Redemption pretty much. Is a better venue than the Impact Zone though which leads to better atmosphere.

[Rollermacka]

The show starts with about 15 mins of non wrestling.... seems like they're on the right track

[slik]

Yeah u have to skip past the 15 minute dance break to get to the wrestling

Who is CIMA - Reddit said he is the head trainer and responsible for how all WWE stars wrestle today

I tried to watch it, got really excited hearing Tony Schivione on commentary...but the camera work was really bad and kept distracting me from the wrestling

Will give it another try sometime soon though to see if it's better the 2nd time around.

He's the head trainer for the Dragon Gate Dojo in Japan. I will say for these guys having 9 months of training (and most of them probably not knowing what professional wrestling was 9 months ago)..... they look pretty good in the ring. I mean, there's not enough Big Sweaty Men on the show for my taste :naughty: but I've seen much worse

[slik]

The show does need some HOSSES with POWER MOVES

Well 2008 Chris Hero, not current chubby <s>Chris Hero</s> Kassius Ohno.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

I'd watch a Paul Titan destroy a bunch of guys. Hey Macka, do you have merch or shirts of any kind?

[Fignuts]

Ahahahaha their title belt looks like it was glitter bombed

[slik]

It does have a unique look tho

Just call him Chon Sina

[Cool King]

It's weird how back when WWE was WWF, nearly every new wrestling promotion that appeared had "Wrestling Federation" as part of its name, but since WWF became WWE, nearly every new wrestling promotion that appears has "Wrestling Entertainment" as part of its name.
