I haven't watched a single WCPW match, maybe I'll check out Lethal vs Dar when it comes out. The only thing I watched was Joe Hendry's "Hello" entrance for Big Damo.
watch Lethal vs Ligero, that's probably the best match they have done so far except from the ending

Well, they must have money to throw around.

They have Angle on the way, along with Cody Rhodes. They've just had Eric Bischoff as guest GM for the evening. In October they've hired JR and Jim Cornette to do guest commentary. Finally, they've just announced Bret Hart will be at one of the shows.

Wish I had money to burn like that.

Crazy how they have all this talent yet their product is so damn dry and bland.

Just gotta love how they pretty much got their fanbase by criticizing WWE's booking decisions and then they book their own promotion the way they do.

I know the product isn't perfect, but I actually quite like what they're producing at the moment.

I believe Blampied has acknowledged that adjusting WWE booking to make them better is much easier than creating a booking from scratch - which is true.

Honestly overall for WCPW, it is an pretty decent. It had hiccups for the first bit but it is good. Even if you ignore some of the obvious international stars they get like Ospray, Sandow, Lethal, and them, it is pretty alright. Hendry's charasmatic, Joseph Conners is a solid wrestler, Big Damo is a beast, so is Rampage Brown, Martin Kirby is funny, El Ligero is a good high flyer, Joe Coffee and Primate are good, Prospect are not too bad, and Prince Ameen is just a classic heel.

Besides, it's free on YT so I ain't complaining.

I'm not try'na shit on anyone that watches it but real talk, if you watch this and WWE only, you're doing something wrong for sure. I understand that people are fans of their YouTube channel which promoted them a bunch, and yeah, they book former stars or big name independent guys. That's cool, until you realise that most of the guys that have worked for WCPW obviously aren't exclusive. If you like Lethal, check out ROH. If you like Ospreay, check out RPW and NJPW. Don't check out WCPW for these guys if they make a one-night appearance. I dislike them to an extent, so there's probably some bias in my opinion as well, but WCPW isn't a good wrestling company. They're gonna run until their YouTube-money is gone, and then they'll be bankrupt. They are the definition of marks that shouldn't be in wrestling. I'm sure they made the company with the idea ''I mean, uhm, we do these how to book things all the time... How hard can wrestling really be?'' and with that, they convinced lots of fans that these guys know what the fuck they're doing. Guess what? They don't. Now, if you love wrestling, watch everything and enjoy this product, enjoy watching it because everyone has their own opinions so do you. However, if you're a big WWE-fan, want to get into other products in wrestling and you check out WCPW because you know those guys from YouTube, please don't. There are lots of better wrestling shows/products than what a fat guy with a crown/cape and a failed comedian have to offer.

WCPW is just so smarky for me, it feels like a show ran by smarks which is exactly what it is.

I disagree, you're not really doing anything wrong by not watching anything but WWE. I have zero interest in anything outside of WWE and I get what I need from WWE. NJPW HAS too big circlejerk to talk about seriously and Bullet Club just seems lame these days, not a Kenny Omega fan either. PWG is too much for me now, its just so much all at once for cheap pops and its tiring to watch. I agree that WCPW is a horrible start to watch indy wrestling though.

Yeah, that's exactly what I said lol. I never said it's bad or wrong to only watch WWE, but if you're interested in watching other wrestling than WWE to expand your wrestling horizon, don't watch WCPW because there are better products out there.

I misread that then soz. WCPW is a really bad start for indy wrestling like jfc, Big Damo is hardly the best the UK has to offer.

How is it Blue? On a lot of sites if you try and talk about NJPW in a negative way at all you get shit on.
That makes the promotion a circle jerk?

Think you mean't that the community is too snarky and defensive.

I didn't mean to say the promotion was a circlejerk I meant there is too big a NJPW circlejerk for me to talk about it which takes away a lot of enjoyment from wrestling for me. I'd say half of my enjoyment for wrestling is talking about it.
