For the past 26 years, Dave Meltzer’s homemade publication, The Wrestling Observer, has pulled back the curtain on a notoriously secretive business.
-New York Times.

I took a look at the latest retelling of the ECW story. This one however was a lot more brutal, and a lot more honest than you might expect. Read the review!

This week’s show was genuinely one of the best we’ve done, I laughed a lot, and we had a good time. Please listen, share, and enter the contest! :)
The ChairShot Podcast is doing a very special give away folks! Details on how to enter are in the first few minutes of the show. You can win;
I’m glad we did the contest this week because it was one of the best episodes we’ve done in a long, long, long time. I laughed til I cried, a couple of times actually.
SO. Listen to the show for details, enjoy, and spread the word!
Wrestling journalism is a sad state of affairs, legit.
The fact Joe Babinsack gets his shit published on any prominent website is embarrassing, let alone on the Wrestling Observer site - they should aspire to better.
I take pride in the sites/publications who have been kind enough to gimme a chance and appreciate the company I keep, because the majority of competitors are straight garbage.
CWF Mid-Atlantic Wrestling: Trevor Lee vs. Chiva Kid for the Television title (1/15/13)! (by CWFMidAtlantic)
CWF and specifically Chiva Kid were praised as one of the break out performances at National Pro Wrestling Day eariler this month, and I was disappointed I missed it.
Check this super fun match from their January 15th event to get an idea of what they’re about.
2CW, based out of New York, is debuting on iPPV with a free show on Saturday, April 20th.
The show will feature 2CW champion Kevin Steen versus John Morrison in their first ever match together.
Also on the card, and I can’t believe this one, is Spike Dudley vs. CZW’s Ultraviolent Beast MASADA, in a no disqualification bout.
Matt Hardy vs. Sami Callihan is also scheduled for the show, as well as a host of other names and match ups. Keep an eye on http://www.2cw.com for more info.
A column I did for PWPonderings about the nature of shoot interviews, and what my issue with them is. Take a look and share if you enjoyed.
Even though he was still on the show, Will was unwell so they needed an extra voice and I was happy to oblige.
It was my favourite time hosting the show yet, with lots of laughs and fun debate - especially about CM Punk, The Rock, and the Royal Rumble. Check it out, and sub on iTunes!
