we dont talk enough about indie wrestling
 
i mean there are some great indie promotions out there

chikara for example, its a fucking great promotion, the characters are funny and they have some fantastic lucha style matches, it has the potential to be a really big promotion.

what indie promotions do you watch?

Xero 07-11-2009 01:19 PM

I hate Chikara.

kareru 07-11-2009 01:21 PM

of course a typo meant i put idie instead of indie

Seth82 07-11-2009 01:25 PM

Chikara is a joke

Nicky Fives 07-11-2009 01:57 PM

never was a fan of Indy wretling.... always big-name washed out WWE/WCW/original ECW stars and young punks that would never make it in WWE....

Does ROH even count as indie still? I dunno, but it's still indie to me, dammit.

There's probably a reason we don't talk alot of indy wrestling.

Xero 07-11-2009 02:27 PM

ROH is easily ECW level at this point. Arguably higher in terms of exposure.

Not indie, but far from mainstream.

Keep drinking that kool-aid

Volare 07-11-2009 02:34 PM

I prefer Mounitain Dew.

Nark Order 07-11-2009 02:34 PM

I like indie wrestling so everyone should like indie wrestling. /juan

Juan 07-11-2009 02:37 PM

Kool-aid is good, I don't blame you.

Nark Order 07-11-2009 02:38 PM

Everyone who doesn't like what I like is either brainwashed or is drinking kool-aid supplied by "the man".

Volare 07-11-2009 02:39 PM

Goldberg?

Juan 07-11-2009 02:40 PM

Hey, abusing mod powers to edit my posts. That's fresh.

We probably don't talk about Indy wrestling so much because it's not nearly as easily accessible as WWE.

... Just my guess...

Nark Order 07-11-2009 02:53 PM

For a reason. I agree.

Thriller 07-11-2009 02:59 PM

I think Indy wrestling can be hit or miss.Ive seen alot of great matchs that might not be seen elswhere for example the MCMG vs Ultimo/Liger and ive aslo seen alot of stinkers as well

#1-norm-fan 07-11-2009 03:20 PM

lol @ a thread about how we don't talk about indy wrestling enough getting completely off topic right off the bat. :lol:

Juan 07-11-2009 03:23 PM

Narc, stay on topic. if you have a problem, contact the proper authorities.

St. Jimmy 07-11-2009 03:25 PM

ROH needs more restholds.

Gertner 07-11-2009 06:54 PM

I'm thinking Zach Ryder should get Spencer Pratt to be his manager.

If it becomes a "really big promotion", wouldn't it no longer be indie? That's what I don't get about indie anything, like "ooh yeah we're so much better because we're not mainstream, but we're trying to get up to that point!" I don't know.

Yeah, but last I heard (and correct me if I'm wrong), Randy Orton was still WWE Champion.:shifty: And also signed to WWE.

You pretty much described the last 10 years of WWE.

Xero 07-12-2009 04:01 AM

I missed me some KayfabeMan. :love:

DAMN iNATOR 07-12-2009 04:13 AM

Yeah, hasn't been around in a while.

i totally disagree with this, the reason that alot of them arn't in the wwe already is because they probably arn't marketable or some shitty reason like that.


also i know its debatable but i consider ROH indy i also concider it the best wrestling promotion in the u.s at least

prove me wrong ..

Being "marketable or some shitty reason like that" is probably more important than any actual wrestling ability, in terms of being successful in this day and age. *cough* Shelton Benjamin *cough*
