Mid South Diaries - Match # 20
Saturday, May 31, 2008
Match # 20: Midnight Express vs Rock N Roll Express 5/24/84 As research for this match I watched the first ever meeting of the MNX and RNR. This was in February of the same year, shortly after the arrival of all four Memphis area talents, but a week or two before the Midnights won [...]
5.31.08 What I Watched
Friday, May 30, 2008
I check out the Best of Chikara ‘05/06 DVD and get lost in some sweet American Lucha with Quack and Claudio, but first it’s the differing styles and pace of Sweet and Sour facing the King of Diamonds.
BS With Honor #12
Sunday, May 25, 2008
The Chron’s extensive coverage of ROH’s Hammerstein Ballroom debut continues as we weigh in on the show’s results, along with the Virginia debut. We also discuss the tag title situation and other current goings-on, and Brian throws in his two cents on the Canadian political landscape. Enjoy! Part 1 (46 minutes) (Right click [...]
Chikara LIVE Results - Aniversarioct!
Saturday, May 24, 2008
Our always traveling fan/reporter Steven Ho is on the scene in Wallingford, CT for Chikara: Aniversarioct! Results: 1.) Quack and Storm defeated Osirian Portal with a Shining Wizard and a QuackenDriver 3. “Awesome match. Crowd heat off the charts for it’s size”. 2.) Vin Gerard beat Jimmy Olsen with a roll up holding the ropes. 3.) Cheech and [...]
5.18.08 Chikara Grit & Glory Results
Monday, May 19, 2008
Note: I’ve removed the makeshift results Brian Streleckis texted in and replaced it with Brian’s report on the show. I feel Brian’s thoughts and live report are a little more important than my crude results post. I stayed behind at the arena Sunday night to watch WWE Judgment Day, which they were showing on their screens [...]
What I Watched: 5.14.08 Edition
Tuesday, May 13, 2008
I always try to deliver in threes, so today I’ll discuss Claudio Castagnoli going under the mask as “Swiss Ice Cream” for the 2007 Trios Tourney, Doc gets a shot at the Triple Crown, and some Sean Denny vs Damien Wayne action leading up to their respective ROH debuts.
Indy Wrestling Show # 1
Tuesday, May 13, 2008
John Philapavage and Brian Streleckis present the first audio podcast of there new show - which has no clever name. We’ll call it the PWChronicle Indy Wrestling show for now. Streleckis dishes out the info to start while Philapavage asks questions and gives opinions as he delves further into Indy fanhood. Whether you are a [...]
BS With Honor #11
Sunday, May 11, 2008
After a bit of a lay-off, Ring of Honor is back in action, and so is the BSWH crew. We’ve got re-caps of the Machine Gunneriffic shows in Detroit and Chicago, including details on the latest on the Jimmy Jacobs/Lacey saga, as Austin Aries literally becomes The Fucking Man. He also becomes a [...]
ROH NYC Audio

5/10 Hammerstein Ballroom LIVE Results
Saturday, May 10, 2008
Johnny P. is in the house and is sending in results. He says the crowd is hot but a “typical NYC crowd.” He’s in the lower balcony and can’t see the upper balcony, so it’s hard to estimate the crowd, but the floor and lower balcony are nearly full. The return date [...]
5.9.08 ROH Virginia LIVE Results
Friday, May 9, 2008
Steven Ho is live in the building sending results. Return date to Virginia is August 1st. The NYC return date is August 2nd. 1. Chris Hero defeats Pelle Primeau with a roaring elbow and a big boot. Bobby Dempsey thrown under the ring by his Sweet N Sour stablemates for getting to much attention from crowd. Apparently [...]
Steal This Match: 8.31.93 Steve Williams vs Kenta Kobashi
Sunday, May 4, 2008
When I was a teen I feared Dr. Death. Not the old man who assisted suicides, but Steve Williams. I’d seen him here and there in start-ups like UWF in the early 90s, or during some of his WCW short runs. I had no idea why such a bassass wasn’t wrestling “more”. Kinda the way [...]
Steal This Match: 6/9/95 Kobashi/Misawa vs Kawada/Taue
Sunday, May 4, 2008
Now that I’ve got Gene Boyer on board, I’m attempting to see how far we can push each other in our friendship of wrestling “psychosis”. Gene and I are fans of the nuts and bolts of wrestling as art and entertainment, and we enjoy killing hours of each others time talking “shop” as two fans [...]
Steal This Match: Mutoh vs Nakamura - Boyer’s Take
Saturday, May 3, 2008
So, I check out the website on Friday night and see Johnny mentioning doing a dueling review of this match. That’s funny, I talked to him the night before and I don’t remember that being a topic that was discussed. But, it doesn’t sound like a bad idea, as we’ve talked about doing [...]
Steal This Match: 4/27/08 Mutoh vs Nakamura
Thursday, May 1, 2008
I’m attempting to drag my pal Gene Boyer onto the site to do a dueling review of the big Keiji Mutoh vs Shinsuke Nakamura IWGP Title match from over the weekend. We’ll see how I do soon enough. As for the match, I watched it, and I try to figure out between us (not Gene [...]
