Gabe Sapolsky’s EVOLVE put on another show from Time Square with a good amount of buzz behind it, available on live iPPV for all the world to see. I ordered it, and even though it’s late, I decided to share some thoughts on it.
In case you missed it, all of the details on the first of ROH’s two events from Atlanta, GA this weekend. Personally, if you thought it was better to pay $60 or so for WrestleMania as opposed to $20 for both of ROH’s shows combined, I’d consider you quite the fool. Quite the April fool.
After closing their 2010 with the crowning of NEW Campeones de Parejas in Mike Quackenbush & Jigsaw, Chikara opens up their 2011, back in Philadelphia, with the usual and unusual suspects and some special guests.
The mighty Chikara returned to Philadelphia for their second-to-last show of the year. Among other things, they held their second-ever Falls Count Anywhere Match and uncharacteristically dialed up 1-8-7.
After watching every show from the past year and going over the best of what they saw in audio format, Brian and Steve go into a little more detail on their personal picks in each category, thanks to the written word. Once again, reading is beneficial.
More notes from our own Brian Streleckis on day two of the ROH TV Tapings: The World Title match, in which all four guys could be in the ring at once (no tags like in a four corner survival) and there were possibilities of count-outs if three or all of the guys were outside, was [...]
Brian Streleckis posted this in the comments section of last night’s live report. In case you missed it, I’m re-posting the details from Brian here. FURTHER DETAILS: This night was fun for the three main events (all quite good) and the in-ring promos, which I’ll go into more depth here. Flair – who apparently is [...]
The King of Trios, Rey de Voladores, and Brian’s erratic sleep schedule have come to an end for the weekend. Plenty of excitement was had.
Taped 2/28/09, Original Air Date 3/28/09 Report by Steve Kriske & Brian Streleckis
The largest wrestling tournament of the year continued with the Quarter-Final round and two matches for Rey de Voladores, featuring “the greatest man that ever lived” and the magnificence of Johnny Saint and Kota Ibushi.
A very busy work day leads to really fun evening leads to an extremely late night. King of Trios is off and running, and Brian Streleckis runs down what occurred in the first round.
Brian Streleckis fills you in on what we’ll be seeing at Chikara’s third annual epic ode to the six-man tag next weekend. Who’s in it, how certain participants have fared in the past tournaments, and how they may fare against each other.
3.28.08 Austin Aires vs Nigel McGuinness (ROH World Title) A bit of backstory for this one. These two put together a classic earlier in McGuinness’ world title run at ROH’s Final Battle show in NYC in December. Nigel won, but was busted open badly from an Aries missile dive that sent him into the guard [...]
Lost and never posted, we’ve finally unearthed John Philapavage’s Match of the Year – just missed list. The first half of the year can be found here. The second half, for the first time, is below
Gene and John promised you little structure at the beginning. We warned you we’d go off on topics not in the mainstream of wrestling or today’s product. We were to be the “alternative programming” for the site. So what have we done? Two regimented episodes, and now a third. Even worse, not only is there [...]
