Indy Wrestling
 

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??

No one gives a fuck about the indy scene honestly.

Nay

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

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.

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

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

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

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..

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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..

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.

Gertie, you really try too hard.

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

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

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

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

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

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...

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

Is your master plan to lose your virginity before 40?

always gotta have my workratometer on me i guess??

There's an app for that.

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?

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

ROH is my Fave out of all big time Austin Aires fan.

Oh yea, Austin Aries is a boss man.. Actually here's one of those Full Webisodes from CLASH Wrestling recapping the Month of August, specifically 7:00 and on is tons of action packed good wrestling, i think you'll like it... here's the description below in case you're looking for the guys names, its some really good wrestling recaps within this one tho:
