Rich Palladino kicked things off with the announcement that Jaleesa was hors de combat after being assaulted by Brian Fury at the last show and that Alex from New England Pro Wrestling Academy would be filling in. We all hoped that Fury wouldn’t show up and vent his fury
The Octagon! Terrible 1980 movie starring Lee Van Cleef and Chuck Norris! Also where MMA fights occur! Also, inexplicably, the shape of the ballroom at the Irish American Club in Malden, MA! (Fear not, Chaotic Faithful: all the action was in the squared circle! And sometimes at ringside! And a
Excitement! Danger! The ever-present threat of a career-ending injury! But enough about crossing Revere Beach Parkway on foot—we’ve got wrestling to discuss! On Thursday night, the Chaotic Faithful once again returned to Night Shift Brewing (a short walk from the Wellington MBTA station, though this does
Ah, summer weekends in Greater Boston. Some folks go to the Cape, some to New Hampshire, and some to Maine (but we inexplicably leave the Berkshires to the New Yorkers), but Chaotic Nation was in Watertown, Massachusetts for In Deep Water! Note that the water in Watertown’s name is
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
Another Thursday night in Everett MA—you could go to Target, you could go to the casino, you could stand outside the Teddie Peanut Butter factory hoping for a glimpse of the magical elves who make America’s best peanut butter...or you could go to Night Shift Summer of
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
