WrestlingPower Posted February 23, 2018 Report Posted February 23, 2018 I'm not sure how spread out the events are in NOLA but a word of warning from someone who went to multiple events last year in Orlando. Some shows either start late or run long which cause later shows in the same building to be pushed back. So if you have to travel from one event to another, take that into account. Dylan can probably speak to this more first hand from his experiences last year but that was the biggest criticism I heard, just timing wise & factoring in travel to & from the various shows. Quote
Dylan Waco Posted February 24, 2018 Report Posted February 24, 2018 Orlando was a bad situation last year as it is a TERRIBLE traffic city, possibly the worst in the nation that time of year. NO is also a bad traffic city and i'm told venues aren't that close. We will never get another year like Dallas where you could literally walk from the WWN venue to the Wrestlecon venue (or NXT/HOF for that matter) in less than ten minutes, but it would be nice not to have spots spread across congested metro areas. In any event my advice to people would be to pick what troupe has the best stuff and attend only shows in one building for each day. It'll save you on stress, and with the quality stuff that's been announced everywhere it's hard to go wrong. Quote

This was what we shot for but Saturday could get messy for me getting from CZW to ROH since in my experience ROH tends to run on time. Quote
Blehschmidt Posted February 25, 2018 Report Posted February 25, 2018 Apparently the Lousiana Boxing and Wrestling Commission has banned Blood and Piledrivers. Quote
Zoo Enthusiast Posted February 25, 2018 Report Posted February 25, 2018 Apparently the Lousiana Boxing and Wrestling Commission has banned Blood and Piledrivers. Isn’t that a standard thing? It’s not like the wrestling cops are going to be at ringside waiting to cuff Nick Gage after he gets busted open. Quote
Edwin Posted February 25, 2018 Report Posted February 25, 2018 Apparently the Lousiana Boxing and Wrestling Commission has banned Blood and Piledrivers. Talk about throwing a wrench into things... I can see some indy show having a rudo referee for the match trying to stop a técnico from doing a piledriver, only for a ref. bump occurring and a rudo hitting a piledriver for the finish. Quote
Eduardo Posted February 25, 2018 Report Posted February 25, 2018 Would there really be someone from the commission at 3 a.m. making sure Joey Janela and The Great Sasuke don't get too carried away? Quote
Edwin Posted February 25, 2018 Report Posted February 25, 2018 If anything, the last thing to worry about in the Joey Janela vs. Great Sasuke match is blood and/or a piledriver... Quote
Zoo Enthusiast Posted February 27, 2018 Report Posted February 27, 2018 Chris Dickinson vs Dan Severn announced for Bloodsport. Quote
concrete1992 Posted February 27, 2018 Report Posted February 27, 2018 Chris Dickinson vs Dan Severn announced for Bloodsport. At first I was like "That sounds bad" and then I began to think Dickinson might be dumb enough to attempt to shoot on Severn. Quote
Zoo Enthusiast Posted February 27, 2018 Report Posted February 27, 2018  Chris Dickinson vs Dan Severn announced for Bloodsport.  At first I was like "That sounds bad" and then I began to think Dickinson might be dumb enough to attempt to shoot on Severn. Im just hyped getting to see Severn. Holding out hope that Janela gets added to that show, too. Quote
Zoo Enthusiast Posted February 28, 2018 Report Posted February 28, 2018 Starr vs Juice Robinson added to CZW. Quote
Edwin Posted February 28, 2018 Report Posted February 28, 2018 Chris Dickinson vs Dan Severn announced for Bloodsport.This has the potential of being the best card this weekend. If only GCW would take more of this type of approach regularly instead of the buffoonery it does with having death match workers sniffing cocaine mid match...

It is called WORKING! Quote
Jmare007 Posted March 1, 2018 Report Posted March 1, 2018 Man Bloodsport sounds like it's gonna be a incredibly fun. Even if everything goes wrong for some reason, the fuckery of it all would make it glorious anyways. Quote

bucky Posted March 1, 2018 Report Posted March 1, 2018 Any kids being brought to those shows probably see far worse at home. Just saying.. Â EDIT: For the record, I don't have any idea what spot Edwin is talking about. I watched every Game Changer show from 2017 and have no memory of such a spot. I'm assuming it was one of the recent shows, and I'm also assuming it's Shlak doing said cocaine. Quote

During Markus Crane vs. Shlak at GCW Hit 'Em Up, Lowlife Louie brings out a gigantic mirror and the deed with a CC and a straw/folded dollar bill and they do the deeds or at least it looks like they did the deed.

bucky Posted March 2, 2018 Report Posted March 2, 2018 LOL. When I read your post, in my mind I was like, either Shlak or Crane. Sure enough. I might have told you this on DVDVR (if you're the same Edwin) but Game Changer is definitely not for everyone. Personally I think that sounds hilarious, and also impossible to know if a work or shoot. But yeah man, GCW might as well be renamed YMMV Pro. Quote
ChuckScumm Posted March 4, 2018 Report Posted March 4, 2018 Pretty stoked that all of this is happening where I live. I'll be attending the Wildkat, WWN, Joey Janela's, Pancakes & Piledrivers, & ROH shows. Makes me wonder how burnt out on wrestling I will be after the weekend. Quote
Edwin Posted March 5, 2018 Report Posted March 5, 2018 https://twitter.com/gcwrestling_/status/970446491335712769 Â Dominic Garrini vs. KTB has been added to Matt Riddle's Bloodsport. Quote
Edwin Posted March 12, 2018 Report Posted March 12, 2018 https://twitter.com/JANELABABY/status/973038143896088576 Â Nick Gage vs. Penta el Zero M for Joey Janela Spring Break 2. Quote
ChuckScumm Posted March 13, 2018 Report Posted March 13, 2018 Anyone coming to NOLA for the events? Quote
Jimmy Redman Posted March 13, 2018 Report Posted March 13, 2018 Yeah, I'll be there from Friday. Quote
