Though we are usually indie wrestling girlies (in the gender neutral sense of girlies), with AEW Dynamite happening a mere three miles from our home, we decided we had to get a ticket and check it out! The event was at MGM Music Hall in Boston, a venue we’ve
We began with a long introduction to BMT. First a woman with a northern English accent narrated a CGI video featuring a fire-breathing dragon and an uncanny-valley BMT. Something about England and kings and how BMT has proven his right to the crown by defending it with blood.
On Sunday, we ventured to Cisco Brewing in New Bedford, Massachusetts (City motto: At Least We’re Not Fall River!) for Live Pro Wrestling’s Cisco Slam V! (We kid! New Bedford’s city motto is actually Did You Know We Used To Kill Whales?) It was a warm summer
Brockton, Massachusetts! Home of boxing champions Rocky Marciano and Marvin Hagler, and also a race car driver from the 1930’s named Bumpy Bumpus! I am not making this up! Anyway, there was no boxing or racing on the agenda on June 26: just wrestling, as Pro Wrestling Supershow presented
Tewksbury Massachusetts, home of the Public Health Museum, was once visited by President Andrew “Forget about the Trail of Tears, put me on the 20!” Jackson, but good things happen there as well! Like Chaotic’s Next Level event! We began with Rich Palladino back on the in-ring mic
Does Major League Wrestling count as indie wrestling? On the one hand, it’s not WWE or AEW. On the other hand, there’s pyro and a whole lot of big screens! We’ll leave it to others to sort out the definitions—as for us, we got stuffed full

Charged Up began in suitably chaotic fashion as Rich Palladino was MIA (are you even allowed to have a wrestling show in New England without him?) Though Jalisa has acquitted herself well in the ring announcer role in the past, she too was unavailable, and so next in the line
Summer of Slams kicked off at Night Shift Brewing in appropriately chaotic fashion: rain drove the event inside, Rich Palladino was behind the bar filling in for Julian Starr on the broadcast mic WITH NO BOWTIE ON, and Jalisa was in the ring announcing matches. The first of which was
Folks, there was a brawl in East Boston and it wasn’t at the Spirit Airlines (RIP) counter! It was Boston Brawl V at Excel Academy! Rich Palladino kicked us off with a match between The Mind Eraser, Mike Graca, from the basement of Butler Hospital, which a quick internet
On Saturday, May 2, I ventured to Elmwood Place, Ohio and walked down a nearly-deserted Vine Street to an unmarked storefront. A woman standing outside said, “wrestling?” and I replied, “Damn right!” (I probably said something closer to “um, yeah,” but if the wrestlers can engage in showmanship, so
Consequences in Watertown, MA! No, not what happened after you ate that probably-too-old stromboli from the Sbarro in the Arsenal Mall food court*—the latest Chaotic Wrestling event! The night opened with Tyree Taylor trying to enter the event, only to be told that he needed a ticket!
