Personally, I'll dabbling in matches here and there, but down for PROGRESS, Spring Break and Bloodsport as entire shows. But when you've got that level of talent at multiple shows, there's some fantastic matchups to dig into. May as well use this thread to discuss any shows anybody is watching.
|
You get double credit back if you sign up to Fite with this link and order a PPV within 24 hours. I just bought Bloodsport and got $30 back to cover Spring Break and something else I want. Hmmmm.
http://fite.tv/invite/9gpjdpv |
To many to go through. Is Ryback having a match? If so how can I watch?
|
He is not
|
Thinking about getting Supercard of Honor but I don't know if I want to watch it or NXT live. That link didn't work for me but I've had the FITE app before, is that deal only for those new to the app?
|
Yeah, it's new accounts only. It knows your device ID as well so would have to be a brand new device to get the $15 free
|
Decided to get the Bloodsport show. Suzuki instead of Low Ki sold mw. Might even check out o e of the Evolve shows.
|
Currently planning on watching Bloodsport, Impact vs LU, and Janela's Spring Break 2 for indie events this week. Maybe RevPro and Kaiju Big Battel as well.
Was interested in ROH's show because of Omega-Cody but that's on the same time as NXT Takeover. |
Yeah I don't know which I'll watch live. Both cards are pretty good and I'm more interested in the ROH main event but the NXT card is great.
|
Yeah, I'm all in on Takeover over ROH even with Omega. But about to start this wrasslin' coma with some BLOODSPORT and New Legacys commentary on https://discordapp.com/invite/newlegacyinc
|
Might check that out see how they are for Impact vs LU.
|
They'll be doing Impact Vs LU on their twitch www.twitch.tv/newlegacyinc so there won't be a need to sync audios
|
Apparently WWN never starts on time.

|
Yeah, wwnlive.com is completley down. Fite is working fine though, but we've got to wait.
|
Here we go
Shit, it's a logo loop |
Got me excited too.
|
Alright about time.
|
Here we go
|
That ring is sexy as fuck
|
This announcer rules
|
Did someone forget to bring the ropes for the Bloodsport show? :shifty:

First match down, this is interesting. Got to pay attention since matches can just end. |
Damn, Riddle in Kingstons corner
|
See, I'd watch MMA if it was more like this
|
Very different but interesting. Main event should be crazy, ZSJ would've been great on this show as well.
|
That Wade Barret intro got me good. That was the exact voice sample Wade used.
|
Uh, that was a weird one. I don't think they got what was supposed to be happening ha
|
Match was just getting good and ref stopped it.
|
Feel like they rushed those early matches because of the delay.
|
Seems like a bad idea to do a Bloodsport/MMA fight coming right off an arm injury although guess Lawlor is lucky WALTER prefers to destroy chests rather than arms with his chop style.
|
He's still in a cast, this is fucked up
|
:lol: crowd booing Lawlor's Superman punches.
|
Damn lost my stream in the middle of this match.
|
Got it back for the finish, best match yet.
|
Yeah, that was a great finish. Waiting on this damn intermission now.
|
Yeah seems dumb after the late start. How long of an intermission is it?
|
We're back, finally. Think the intermission was to fix the stream and unplanned.
But here comes Dan Severn! |
More like "weak" indie shows
|
Strange ending to that match and the ref standing them up.
|
Nice post match brawl though. They'll probably be in the Clusterfuck at JJ's
|
Here we go, Suzuki V Riddle
|
Really bad crowd for Suzuki's entrance routine.
|
Think the crowds haven't been miced up at all. You can see they're into it, but can barely hear them.
|
This is just violent, I fucking love it
|
That was a disgusting suplex
|
:lol: Suzuki chasing the ref and the ref almost bailing from the match.
|
That was a lot of fun, not a must watch, but an intriguing WIP
|
Bloodsport was fun overall. A few dud matches but the novelty and the other matches being good carried the show.
If Riddle does another Bloodsport next year, all it needs is just a few tweaks made. |
Suzuki and Riddle was pretty good. I think they understood what style the show was going for. Can't say that for alot of the early match participants but delay might have also effected them. Walter was probably the most impressive being that's the first time I've ever seen him.
|
Probably watch the Wresle Con Supershow later if its on Impacts Twitch channel.
|
Don't guess it is and I don't quess its streaming anywhere else either.
|
EVOLVE might have just had the dumbest match of Mania week.
It involved a Tag Team Scramble match with the tag champs defending their belts against 3 other teams. If any of those 3 teams pinned the champs, they become the new champs. Tag champs lost but kept their belts because the winning team decided to just pin a different team instead. Whole match itself was also sort of a mess overall. |
CTRL + F
"PENTA" 5 results that crazy fuck. |
Quote:
How was the rest of the show? nL did a commentary and I have $60 in Fire credit so may as well jump in. |
Really good to great overall. Only real bummer was them pushing storyline based stuff since I don't follow EVOLVE and it wasn't that interesting.
Visually, whole event looked a lot more dank compared to Bloodsport and made worse by the very small crowd. Not sure if that's just the usual EVOLVE/WNN style for broadcasts. |
I bought it. DJZ's airhorn gimmick is amazing
|
All hail King Smeat for watching all the wrestling I don't have time to watch.
|
The Osperay/AR Fox match ruled.
I also accidentally ordered Evolve 103 so guess I'm watching that tonight! |
If I've got $30 to spend on 2 more PPVs and I have Spring Break and Evolve 103, what else should I get?
|
Tag match was fun bar the finish. I like that wrestling moonsaulting dad.

NICK FUCKING GAGE!!!!
|
Going to check out Spring Break.
|
The Wrestler parody for Spring Break 2's intro was amazing.
|
Holy shit at how large the crowd if for Janela's show.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> Opening match was pretty good overall. |
:lol: at Riddle whiffing on a knee strike to Ellsworth's chin because he forgot Ellsworth doesn't have one.
|
Holy shit, Pierre Carl Ouellet almost completely whiffed on the moonsault to the outside.
|
Ouellet's chest turned purple from all the chops by WALTER
|
Damn, PCO's chest looks awful. Insane match.
|
PCO vs WALTER was amazing. Its up there with the best matches I've seen so far this Mania week.
|
WALTER has impressed the hell out of me this week.
|
This a no fucks given match.
|
Ouch. Penta went head first right through a table.
Way better GCW title match than the one held at last year's Spring Break show. |
:y: Clusterfuck time.
Seems like eliminating someone via death would be something that should be bannable but apparently its a legal way to win according to Louisiana's rules list. |
One of the entrants looks like a really lanky/skinny version of Big Cass in the WWE.
|
Wow Hornswoggle is one of the entrants.
|
They should have brought back name plates for each entrant since the audio quality has been very hit-or-miss during this show.
|
This might be the fattest Doink the Clown ever.
Not sure if that was just some random fat indie wrestler playing him or one of the actual Doinks from back in the day. |
:lol: at some guy called Rory Gulak who is a parody of Drew Gulak's gimmick.
|
:lol: at the Bushwhackers Rumble-inspired elimination for one of the entrants.
Nevermind it was just one long running gag to have his entire theme song play during his entrance. |
:lol: at them pulling a Louisiana commission gag during this match.
|
Quote:
|
Clusterfuck match was really great.
|
Quote:
He had a "No Clusterfucks" sign as part of his entrance and mimicked some of the stuff Drew would do during matches. Even had Drew's CWC theme as his entrance for the match. |

Some of the spots in this match have been insane.
|
Janela vs Sasuke was way too crazy and one hell of a match.
Show itself was great overall. |
In just got done with PTO/WALTER. Holy fucking shit nothing this weekend is touching that. Wow
|
I agree with New Legacy, all show's should end the same way as Spring Break 2. If Roman and Brock ends with Bon Jovi karaoke then Roman will finally be cheered
|
Fell asleep on the clusterfuck match. Just rewatched it. The damn Invisible Man.
