After a bit of a hiatus for the ROH and BSWH crews, we’re just one day away from ROH’s Canadian debut, and we’re all over it, starting with our audio preview. We also do our best to preview the barely-announced Saturday PPV taping in Detroit and discuss some other news. Be sure to [...]

Oct 2004 CM Punk vs Brian Danielson (IWA-MS) Punk is actually the World Heavyweight Champion as of this writing in the WWE. Wow! Danielson is rumored to be going to the WWE. Both have been two of my all-time favorites from this decade’s crop of indy talent. I felt it was time to take a [...]

Match # 32: Adrian Street vs Chris Adams (10/10/84) All these years and I have never seen an Adrian Adonis match. I know the gimmick – psychologically manipulative, egocentric heel with a subservient female valet. Except he’s gay and she’s his “fag hag”. Gorgeous George did it in the 50’s; Adonis in [...]

This is just a taste of the great time I had at Chikara’s Young Lion’s Cup this year. Go over to Smart Mark and grab all three DVDs. It’s worth it.

Hello everyone. My name is Carlos Lopez, and I am the newest member of the PW Chronicle family. Johnny P has asked me to come aboard and share my knowledge about Lucha Libre with the Chronicle readers. But, before we delve into the subject, I’d like to share a little about myself [...]

Brian & Steve kick off this week’s show by running down the results from last weekend’s Battle For Supremacy. Then, with one of Chicago’s favorite sons is on top of the wrestling world, we take a break from the ROH talk to discuss CM Punk’s shocking world title win. Finally, another one of [...]

3.7.08 Brian Danielson vs Mike Quackenbush (WXW Germany) This isn’t Afa the Wild Samoan’s promotion, or I’d be walking to that show. This is Westside Xtreme Wrestling in Germany, where an ocean would interrupt my walking. They wrestle out of a nightclub and the fans are all standing up against the ring itself. They slap [...]

I’m gonna break down the fourth wall and let everyone know that hasn’t figured it out - the Mid South 80s ballot and review ended last night at midnight. I was one of dozens who participated, and while we are at Match # 30 on the site, in actuality I’ve watched and judged all 150 [...]

9.22.01 Brian Danielson vs Low Ki vs Scoot Andrews vs Christopher Daniels (Note: This is the second of two reviews I’m doing as a show of respect to my friend and site contributor Gene Boyer. Not only is Gene a great friend of mine who sent me both matches, but he’s also been an inspiration in [...]

Match # 30: Butch Reed vs Skip Young 9/23/84 I’m at a loss as to who Young is, but Reed was deep into a major heel run in Mid South by this print. This is a solid NOTHING match. That’s right – solid, yet nothing. Reed is a good, but not great, heel. [...]

Taped a week ago… and timely brought to you a week late vias server problems and life. This week Gene and John talk MMA. They babble brightly about the TUF Finale of UFC and touch on Affliction and Lorrenzo Ferttita’s new full time job. Not to long a show, so you can stomach us even [...]

10.19.07 Bryan Danielson vs Nigel McGuinness (ROH – Non-title) This match happened after their great match at Driven PPV in June (though their match was in Philly), but before their famed double-turn match at the Sixth Anniversary in Feb. ’08. Nigel has just won the ROH World Title, but this is not a title match. It’s [...]

Match # 29: Killer Khan vs Chris Adams (9/9/84) A house show match with some World Class territory flavor. Killer Khan is the veteran experienced big man heel to Adams quicker and fiery young smaller babyface. I like that this dynamic Khan, as heel, is accompanied by manager Skandor Akbar. Akbar seems pretty [...]

Match # 27: The Fantastics v. The Midnight Express (8/9/84) Nice. Watching the last match I was hoping for a straight tag without Duggan/Cornette. We get an arena match-up to boot.

-5.6.06 NWA-VA Sean Denny vs Damian Wayne This match was on a best of 2006 collection I’ve had sitting around. It may be the only truly indy – indy match on the set, so I thought I’d take a look. You may remember I’d done some writing on Damian and Denny before they debuted in ROH [...]

-4.13.08 Kensuke Sasaki/Nakajima/Yamaguchi vs Kenta Kobashi/KENTA/Taniguchi: The renewal of a rivalry and a tease of a match. Mid June we get a big showdown with Kobashi continuing the comeback when he teams with KENTA to take Kensuke Sasaki and Nakajima. For now we get the six man teaser, which is clipped to ten minutes, but features [...]

We’re back, sooner than later, with another podcast about the indies. This time it’s Chikara and their Young Lion’s Cup. Brian Streleckis and John Philapavage run down the three show weekend with John’s live report and Brian’s inquiring mind. All the info you need is here so if you are a hardcore Chikara fan, or [...]

-3.5.08 Marufuji vs Kikutaro: The match is from a NOAH house show. This was a fun nine minute comedy match clipped a few times to about four minutes of extended highlights. Marufuji is pretty awesome whether he’s tagging with KENTA, being a top Jr. Heavy or heavyweight contender, or guest staring in Ring of Honor over [...]
