also people who say you cant Book Japaneses style shows in America should have been at my show last night

I really enjoyed that part of the card. My Japanese style wrestling knowledge is pretty much nonexistent but I know I'd like to see more of it on future cards.

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

so nothing past here is official but I love you guys so

Veda and Portia will be there, working on Swann (PWG might make it hard) and some other Florida centered ladys, also talking to girls from the mid west

So we can expect the big rematch between Mercedes and Bacardi?

[BigBiss]

Of course this is the show I miss.

OF COURSE.

I basically booked it for you

I had car problems, and quickly discovered that getting your car looked at in the bible belt on a Sunday is extremely difficult.

So I had my first real foray into indy wrestling last night. Went out drinking and somehow wound up at a Wisconsin Pro Wrestling event in the hall next to a bar we visited. I have no idea if this would be considered good indy wrestling or not, but we had a blast. Found out that they typically are there every month. I will definitely be going back to check it out. After the show a lot of the talents came out and drank in the bar so we got to talk to quite a few of them. Good Guys. Good times.

In NY, Okada gets Cedric Alexander.

I'm sure it will be a fun match, but a letdown is a letdown.

[Warner2BruceTD]

they booked Honky Kong.

Bunch of cool stuff here, hyped for the ladder match & hitting on Veda.

I notice some of the other promotions who use Ricky Starks are starting to feature him prominently in advertising and higher on the card.
When everybody knows his name in a year, it should be noted that Biss pushed him before anybody else.

I will also put myself over, as my keen eye for talent can not be ignored, with several of the guys in this article: http://www.voicesofwrestling.com/201...douts-of-2013/ having broken out to one degree or another in 2014...Starks, Ray Rowe, Flamita.

Childs must be completely isolated from the outside world. I've seen him run head to head with PPV's, WrestleMania, and the Super Bowl. Some set of balls on that guy.
