I'd still rather have DDS & Bailey than a lot of other teams. Yes, we are all aware of how throuh them your love of indy wrestling blossomed. However that was nearly 20 years ago a d Bailey has moved on and DDS has just moved bowels while in the ring. Bailey is still active. Just move to MN. Expect him back in IL in hopefully a few months. And with a little luck, it will be him and Priest teaming up again.

What guys are Blitz grown guys? Just asking because they didn't have a training school so what guys did they bring up? They did have a school. Billy Whack used to call it the Blitz Wrestling school, but it's been renamed The Chicago Academy Of Professional Wrestling (it's still open). You used to see graduates Quinn Whittock and Joey Dalton at CSW and they were treated better by Boz than they were by Scarpone.

You mean they who lost popularity because they're wrestlers tortured a monkey? Right, Dragon Gate guys did that. DGUSA was going to be a sperate company with the best Indy guys intermixed with Dragon Gate guys. That went really well. True. However there is a little more to this than meets the eye. From this mess came World Wrestling Network. Seems like Gabe is running a second promotion Style Battle which is also part of the Network, alongside Evolve, SHINE, American Combat Wrestling, Full Impact Wrestling and a place called Viva La Lucha . As those who are part of this network keep going to NXT and are on the radar of some top promoters... I'll give Gabe a little more credit.

Gabe still living off his 'legend' built in early ROH. Dude takes credit for 'discovering' all that talent. Those guys were already out there working PWG, IWA-MS, CZW, JAPW etc. Same thing is happening now with Evolve. All these guys are working PWG, Beyond, AAW, AIW etc. Gabe's not 'finding' these guys. Anyone remember Dragon Gate USA? You mean they who lost popularity because they're wrestlers tortured a monkey?

The sad thing is that Kevin Karlson could easily outwork DDS. If DDS was only promoting instead of wrestling... Dont expect this place to go away soon. There is more new talent, but as their home promotions cant book them, these young men and women will have no choice but to turn to Kaiju. Makes you miss Anarchy and other places that closed down, doesn't it?

If Ali can compete in GALLI and Evolve, why not Kalisto?

Same guys doing the same sh*t. You might want to read the results from the last show. Also the better graduates are getting more ring time. Very soon, it will be more homegrown guys getting better treatment from Boz, Blake and Lunatic than BLITZ homegrown guys got from Scarpone.

Change to card. Due to injury it is now Madman Pondo and Khloe vs Maria Manic and SHLAK.
Not posted if both Mickie Knuckles and Jacob Black are injured, or just one of them.

Oops, wish you'd said so. Sometimes it helps to ignore the egotistic owner and enjoy the rest of the talent as they move up. My bad. I know nothing of Tatum, sorry. It's cool. Tatum is one of the guys from Central IL you would want to see more often.

I wonder if this show will actually go on. After doing 3500 miles lately, a 4 hour trip seems like nothing Don't forget to ask "who will be removed from the show because Ian can't afford them".

That's not true in this case. Beau Tatum is not one of the owners. One of the things that you can respect about GPW is that Mitch Blake refuses to belt himself, unlike certain others. Plus with an angry Chris Miller ready to come out swinging, it makes you wonder who else will side with whom as the two places do battle. talking about lunatic Oops, wish you'd said so.

You've got to love when shindy wners put themselves over in the main storylines and make themselves champions. Perhaps that's why they are shindy? That's not true in this case.

This one, is not Ian's fault for once. I asked him abotu it and he only knew that the GALLI arena was closing. Plus, it is being hyped that the next GALLI show could be the last so...why risk running there? Though I wish he could have rescheduled it to somewhere like Addison, just like when he restarted back in 2009. I still put it on Ian in the end. He has a phone and Carlos' number he could have easily called and made sure that everything would still be fine to run a show there. This is just a convenient event for Rotten to use as an excuse, perfect timing and doesn't require a BS sob story like usual. He could have EASILY ran at another venue, hell I could have hooked him up with 4 venues within walking distance of the blue line and the Route 307 Harlem bus. I've tried before to offer these venues to him that would be cheap AF (free possibly) and can house up to 300 (he ain't breaking that number again) and the messages were ignored. Rotten could have ran in Addison or Midlothian again, the later would have been amazing honestly just because they had all those great shows there years ago. I'm betting at this point he's completely blackballed by most chicagoland venues unless they'd run a joint IWA MS and *insert fed here* show Than again, would it have been a show worth paying for? Lets see there's a high chance that most of the card would have been Galli/Freelance guys leading to yet another complaint of "Same guys going the same sh*t". Maybe we would luck out with appearances by Calvin Tankman, Logan James and a womens match that would be MOTN. But with guys being pulled from shows as Ian can't afford them, it would probably be a show you would have stayed away from anyway.
