Haven't seen a thread on the GCW Collective shows or anything, anyone watch anything good outside of WWE/AEW/TNA?

Watched Bloodsport yesterday - good show I thought. The venue for the Collective shows was great. Nattie Vs Miyu was fantastic - get the impression Nattie's coming back for more too. She looks GREAT in this setting. ZSJ/Gresham really good too. Karmen Petrovic is fukking smokin'. Main event was brutal fun. :ehh:

Watched the second night of Stardom because we didn't realise there were two nights. Decent show but apart from Mina"s farewell match nothing really stands out to recommend. I think the Maika/Thekla match on night one was probably the highlight but not seen it yet. :manny:

We had GCW: Clusterfukk Forever on this afternoon while I cooked and stuff... it had its moments but nowhere near as funny/chaotic/violent as previous years. :russell: Highlight was Manlikedereiss rapping whilst wrestling and running the ropes. :pachaha:

Skipped through Spring Break but haven't watched the Main yet. Megan Bayne/Bozilla was worth full attention. Gabe Kidd and Lance Warner had a very fukking violent and entertaining match with a bit of a dud finish to me. Maybe my wrestling stamina is just getting low :flabbynsick:

For better or worse GCW definitely feels closer to WWE than it's ever been right now. They need to be careful because their fans are probably the most vociferously anti-WWE crowd going, but it's great seeing someone like Nattie finally getting to show off her mat shyt without needing a storyline about farting.:blessed:

Not Vegas, but RevPro: High Stakes in the UK - Michael Oku Vs Leon Slater and Mercedes Mone Vs Kanji both slapped. :ahh:

Hopefully find time to at least look at highlights for Heels Have Eyes, TJPW, DDT and Progress Vegas shows this week.

I watched the Spring Break main event - Joey Janela Vs Sabu No Rope Barbed Wire.

The most likely explanation is still that Sabu has been legitimately insane all this time. Joey Janela is just a twat.

I enjoy plenty of hardcore shyt, but the two barbed wire/concrete floor bumps Sabu took just before the fukkery started and Sandman showed up were too much. No. I didn't need or want to see a man that age gushing blood on the concrete with actual bruises all over him. fukk Janela and fukk Sabu for agreeing. I don't know how he came back on to finish it, but at least Joey let him beat the shyt out of him after that.

Yeah the match is more spectacle/car crash but sabu was crazy for taking a bump to the floor at his age

I liked charlie Dempsey/Shinya Aoki from Bloodsport it's grappling/chain wrestling heavy though.

Hurt Syndicate pulled up to Heels Have Eyes - Westside Gunn, Smoke Dza and MVP performed We Hurt People live to open the show :myman:

HS not on the card though :to:

Enzo fukking Amore/Zo/Real1 the inaugural flyweight champ won from #1 in their royal rumble thing :scust: :snoop: Apparently AJ Francis, Tommy Dreamer and EJ Nduka are flyweights?! :pachaha:

All in all one of the more entertaining shows of the week. Main Event was good fun.

Nobody cares, but I might as well close this out since I started. :to:

Progress in Vegas had its moments. Oku/Jacobs Main was fantastic.

Mike D. Vecchio might have a future as a hoss :whew:

Suzuki vs Cara Noir fun.

Nina Samuels is still the GOAT on these British indie streets :manny:

DDT Goes To Vegas

Very entertaining, very DDT.

Suzuki Vs Yoshihiko was a bit disappointing I thought... IWC seemed to love it, but I've seen way better Yoshihiko matches. Yoshihiko does a real good Kana impression :sadcam::picard:

6 man tag Gringo Loco/Marcus Mathers/Tyler Bateman vs Kazuma Sumi/Nick Wayne/Shunma Katsumata was great.

Thatcher/Aoki was a really good technical exhibition.

Not watched the main yet - expect Takeshyta and MAO to put on a banger.
