Jumping between Realities.
Is cool bro. You have contributed and you just need to catch up (one or two events should do). There are others who are lagging behind massively.
I Know what ones I'm doing (Some more Yoshihiko Matches, I Love that Doll...Maybe ASW 9 N1 + 2 and Threemendous 3 maybe)

Rhod's count: 18
Match: London vs Steen
Show: ASW9
Promotion: PWG
Rating: 3.75/5
Comment: London returning to PWG. They used to be (Kendrick and London) one of my faves back when they were hired by the WWE. Opening the show with comedy is always nice. However, at times, I wished they wouldnt take that long (London going to the locker room or wherever he went). Fun match, sick star press and nice to see london in PWG

Match: Adam Pierce vs Jon Davis
Promotion: Ring Warriors
Rating: 3
Comment: This was the first match on the first episode of the Ring Warriors "TV" (youtube) show and it featured Davis and Pierce, two guys I am fairly familiar with. The Ring Warriors concept is old school wrestling in a modern setting and that was the feel I got from this. This was a old school opening match, it established Pierce as a heel and his will to do anything to win. It wasn't that long but it achieved what it was supposed to do, establishing a villain. I'll have more comments on Ring Warriors itself once I have watched the entire episode.

Comment: This was a enjoyable match from two great workers. They showed some nice chemistry here and this was quite a back and forth match. Some nice chain wrestling at the start. Yeah was lots of good stuff here like Aries doing a torture rack and holding on to it to do a Finlay role.

Match: Alex Chamberlain vs Bobo Brazell
Promotion: Ring Warriors
Rating: 2
Comment: Another match from the first episode of Ring Warriors. I have never seen either of these guys wrestle before so this was a new experience for me. Neither guy were near as polished in the ring as Pierce and Davis from the opener but it was still a passable match considering it was pretty short. Chamberlain seems like a young cat and could become something with more polish possibly. And he has a good clean cut look especially compared to Brazell. I'll just give this a two, finish came out of nowhere and the match was pretty short and neither guys character really shone through.

Comment: This was a great little match that was quite mat heavy at the start, both men worked extremely well together and some great nearfalls in this match as well. Very good for the small time they had.

Match: JD Maverick vs Adrian Morales
Promotion: Ring Warriors
Rating: 3
Comment: Another Ring Warriors match and again a match with 2 guys I don't know much about. They hyped up Maverick as a ten year vet and played this up as Morales' debut in Ring Warriors. The match was a solid one, nothing breathtaking but no real botches or anything like that. It followed a pretty typical script with the heel (Maverick) dominating for the most part only for the young babyface (Morales) to make a comeback near the end only for Maverick to turns things around again and get the win. Match was as I said solid but a bit boring. Still, I enjoyed it.

A little special post here.

So I spent the evening watching the first ever episode of Ring Warriors. Ring Warriors is a promotion running out of Florida which has as its goal to be the top promotion in the Florida area and tour throughout Florida and the Caribbean. They have just started a "TV" show on youtube with the first episode airing just a few days ago. I enjoyed the show overall. It was a first ever episode so they ran a lot of matches so most of them were short, my guess since they wanted to establish characters and gets gimmicks over and presented. Overall I enjoyed it. The camera work was okay and the production values surprisingly high for a independent promotion not named Ring of Honor. The ring work was solid, one or two matches being a bit boring but nothing bad or so boring that I fell asleep. If they can create reasons to care about the wrestlers I just might stick with this promotion long term.

I won't cast a final judgment on it just yet though.
