    Bloodsport is one of those shows that I'm always curious to attend, but the ring set-up and mat-focused style makes it feel like if I'm not front row I wouldn't be able to see shit.

    Oh, so the Ukranian Cultural Center that's hosting all the Collective shows only does chairs for the first 3-4 rows. Everything past that including GA is standing room only.

    I got the package which includes priority seating so I can try to save spots for people.

    Nice! So far we're doing DDT, DDTxGCW, and Wrld on Lucha. Likely Emo Fight as well once we sort out some more details, especially since Kaiju isn't gonna be there this year.

    Okay a friend panicked because front row TJPW sold out and signed up for the WrestleCon membership anyway. Also they announced TJPW wouldn't be doing a meet and greet at the show but at the convention itself so now he has a use for that.

    Still kind of expensive just for early tickets and a swag bag.

    Ibushi vs Speedball at Bloodsport is official

    The rumor for JJSB is Ibushi vs Janela, which I understand but MAN is that a letdown when Ibushi/Bailey is his other match that week.

    Janela is a great taste maker. We've seen it with 2 Cold and PCO and everyone else who chooses to work with him. Scotty 2 Hotty. Great Sasuke. Etc.

    Ibushi doesn't really need this unless he's trying to show the world how healthy he is and how weird he wants to get with his brand of wrestling.

    But what's the point of booking a show once a year if you don't throw your weight around a little. I'm sure it'll be good but I'm just not jumping out of my seat to see Janela.

    After seeing Janela wrestle with a ring and steadfastly refuse to actually use it this match feels like an opportunity for Ibushi to fuck around and do more of his DDT type stuff instead of a NJPW style match that he's probably going to have with Bailey.

    Hopefully they go outside the venue and Ibushi can shoot himself with fireworks like his heart truly desires.

    Southern California has a thing with fireworks, so maybe not.

    Also if I'm in attendance, I don't want to have to follow the match in and out of the building with the rest of the crowd. Isn't the UCC just in the middle of a city street?

    I wasn't into DDT when they came to NYC for Mania week however many years ago, and I regret it because they worked a venue in Brooklyn that my friend was the manager of. In the match, Takeshita lifts a random couch someone left on the sidewalk and starts hitting people with it.

    I know they do it, hence all the wildfires. But they SHOULDN'T, is what I'm saying.

    I don't think it was caught on video, but when Dr Cube has the truck parked in the middle of the street there was a guy in a car stuck behind it. When Take climbed up the truck and started fighting Number 13, dude jumped out of his car and flipped the fuck out and just joined in watching with the crowd. That whole thing was easily one of my favorite parts of the weekend.

    It's a fairly undeveloped and deserted area, so if the guy really had to get somewhere, he could have.

    Sometimes wrestling gives you something you didn't even know you needed.

    Mox is (was?) booked for OTT Scrapper Mania that weekend. Guess he's missing at least one date.

    Seems weird, because the booker is a longtime friend of Mox's from FCW, and it's basically a makeup date from before the pandemic when Moxley was booked to wrestle David Starr. Mox is booked to wrestle Trent Seven and Big Damo that weekend.

    AEW house shows are supposed to be for people who don't get TV time or ring reps, Dark and Elevation stalwarts. Mox isn't that. I know he's a crazy workhorse, doing two WWE house shows a night, and the show is near his home in Ohio, but he doesn't need to be there for this. I'm surprised he'd allow himself to miss a makeup date that was a favor to a friend.

    The Gunns are low key great, though. And this storyline is compelling and weirdly sincere and earnest. Having the Ass Boys blame an absentee father for their actions makes sense.

    You've gotta send some of your stars along. People aren't necessarily gonna fork over for tickets to see people they can watch on Youtube every week on their own, probably

    Darby, OC, and Britt are on the poster. They will be appearing. They are big TV stars too. Mox should be allowed to keep his promises.

    It seemed close to his eye and it did not look like the chair hit him right, plus he didn't bleed nearly as much as when he normally blades.

    Sure! I think we're making assumptions about who made what decision here, though.
