    Hah! That's great! They just had one a few weeks ago at a local high school near us and it had Kurt Angle and Tony Atlas. I remember Tony Atlas from when I was a young kid in Atlanta!

    I bet the no holds barred match will be awesome!

    Here is a match I went to in Orlando at the Armory and it was insane.

    No holds barred


    At the 11:29 second mark you can see me with my red solo cup in hand going wild. Haha The promoter let us mix drinks and bring them in. It certainly makes it a lot more entertaining when you have some vodka in your tank!

    It is hard to tell. Maybe 75. It wasn't a very well attended show but certainly entertaining. On some of these indi cards you will see a lot of really low talent wrestlers who actually have to pay to be on the show. This was one of the best matches for this type of show you could ever hope to see. Both of these guys have wrestled in bigger promotions.

    This promoter will bring in older names like a Valentine too. It was either this show or the next one where he had Manny Fernandez but he could barely walk let alone wrestle. It was sad to watch. Valentine unfortunately is very hard to work with and is said to no show a lot and at every wrestling convention he is at gets smashed. I am not talking just buzzed but hammered. His auto looks so different as the day goes on.

    You crack me up in that video Dpeck....... people forget how fun these shows can be though. I had not been to one in many, many years and took my nephews. They both absolutely loved it and the nine year old was talking about it a month after it. It is unfortunate that they don't have the shows here now but once a year. We need to go to the next one too. There was some amazing stunts, and I was amazed at some things too.

    I was having a lot of fun. As one could imagine I barely had a voice by the end. Haha
