First Round matchups for PWG's Battle of Los Angeles '06 Announced

By -












I don't typically post indy NEWZ all that much, but these shows look absolutely stacked and if I can in any way influence someone to check them out, then I've done my good deed for the day.

Night 1 (9.1.06)

Colt Cabana v. Disco Machine
El Generico v. Delirious
CIMA v. M-Dogg 20
"Mr. Wrestling" Kevin Steen v. Quicksilver
Mark Briscoe v. Matt Sydal
Chris Sabin v. Roderick Strong

Night 2 (9.2.06)

Davey Richards v. TJ "Puma" Perkins
Alex Koslov v. Jay Briscoe
Jack Evans v. Claudio Castagnoli
Genki Horiguchi v. Chris Hero
Super Dragon v. Necro Butcher
Scorpio Sky v. Frankie Kazarian

Tournament wraps up 9.3.06

Also scheduled to appear in some capacity: PWG Champion Joey Ryan, Arrogance (Scott Lost & Chris Bosh), B-Boy, Excalibur, Top Gun Talwar, Human Tornado, Dino Winwood and a cast of thousands.

Holy shit, will Dragon/Necro ever rock the casbah. There's a dream match for you. One of them might seriously leave in a bodybag. I'd wonder what the match would be like if they actually disliked one another, but really...Dragon hates everyone. Including you. Everyone was geeked about the Dragon Gate guys coming in, but I think they ended up being a relatively small reason to go apeshit over these shows. There's no end to the amazing stuff we could see that weekend.

This year's Ted Petty Invitational (which I'll do a post for as soon as the brackets are announced) officially has some competition. Big time competition. Hopefully the West Coast scene will finally explode from these shows. Lots of talented workers who get little to no hype at all.

Video Vault #21 - More fun than a barrel of monkeys!

The flurry of Heart Punch activity continues, as I bust out a Video Vault post, just so I can say that we had new content every day for a week. Because that's certainly worthy of merit, right? RIGHT? Chris Hero & Team F.I.S.T. (Icarus & Akuma) v. Mike Quackenbush & ShaneSaw (Shane Storm & Jigsaw) (CHIKARA - Return of the Son of the International Invasion of the International Invaders: 1st Stage - 8.19.06) Spreadin' the CHIKARA love! Seriously...if you can watch CHIKARA and not *love* CHIKARA, you might be dead inside. I'm about to dive into the King of Trios shows tonight, so huzzah to me. And, uh...this match is heaping helpings of awesome. Just watch it. Necro Butcher v. Roderick Strong (IWA:MS - Hurt - 3.24.06) Not as fun as most of the Necro "dream matches" that have happened over the past year. Which is odd, as you'd think Roddy would be the perfect guy to beat the shit out of Necro (because really…that's what most of these matches amo...

Wrestling Society X #5

Two recaps in two days? Perish the thought! What are the odds that I can make it through all six shows without skipping a day? That would be nutty. -Tonight, The Filth and the Fury faces Team Dragon Gate. 6-Pac answers Human Tornado's challenge. Arik Cannon debuts versus the also debuting Delikado and Ricky Banderas SPEAKS! -Opening montage. - Jibbs performs. -Clips of the fireball angle from the last show. This leads into the Banderas promo (w/subtitles, even though he speaks decently clean English). Apparently, Vampiro is the cause of his facial scarring after he rigged Banderas' coffin to explode. What is it with Vamp and exploding coffins? He promises Vamp that his days are numbered. Team Dragon Gate v. The Filth and the Fury - Teddy Hart and Yoshino open with a quick armdrag sequence. Hart takes control, taking him down with a Russian legsweep and picking up a two count. Both guys tag. Genki tackles M-Dogg, then takes him over with a hiptoss. He charges, but gets elevated...

None of us type into this here blog thing very often, do we? Are we too busy? Too lazy? Too stupid? I speak only for myself when I say ALL OF THE ABOVE! But hell, I think even I can manage one post a year and this is it! Actually, this is all shit that I've already posted elsewhere over the past year, but cut and paste is one of my many skills. I don't even remember watching some of this stuff, but yeah...here you go. I finished the first disc of the '08 Champion's Carnival (covering the A Block). Lots of good stuff here, with a ton of stories woven through. You have Kojima's injured lariat arm, Kea busting his ass like crazy, but not being able to eke out a win, Tanahashi just generally being a douchebag (in the best way possible!) and Mutoh/Kawada bringing the veteran presence. Favorite match so far was probably Mutoh/Tanahashi. Tanahashi dicks it up, eventually going to work on Mutoh's gimpy knees. Mutoh makes the comeback to show the young buck how to proper...
