What's lucha underground ?

The best wrestling show on TV...

 
Everything in that article could be applied to RVD.  And that dude is still a draw.
He is a Draw for who? Bingo halls?

ecw arena was never really a 'bingo hall'. it was a New Years parade clubhouse (south philly Vikings). they ran all types of fundraisers as do many of the New Years clubs in philly. ( I am in one which competes in the same division as spv).

the vikings New Years club's big money maker was illegal poker machines and slot machines. which south philly mobsters made a ton of money off of back in the 80s-90s. well they would have these 'bingo' nights. which were really just underground casino nights.

they got busted in I think 90? and that is when they started renting the arena out. my dads godfather was a guy named butchie who was the captain of the south philly Vikings, who rented the arena out as their clubhouse. (there is a second floor which is where they would hold meetings. downstairs in the arena/backstage area is where they stored and built parade floats). when ecw was losing the bar they were using for shows originally my dad got in touch with butchie and set up the first show at 'ecw arena'. and the rest is history.

sorry if that was hard to follow haha k can answer questions that were confusing.

Are you saying your dad booked the first ever wrestling show at the ECW arena?...
been said this since I first started posting. yes.
 
***** about to get real

- WWE officials have reportedly changed their thoughts on signing former TNA World Heavyweight Champion AJ Styles.

AJ is the current IWGP Heavyweight Champion and considers New Japan Pro Wrestling to be home, and is under contract, but WWE is interested in signing him. WWE is looking to have three touring brands in 2016 and want to load up on as much quality talent as they can.
 
nxt is going to be made to compete wit all these smaller Indy like roh. Vince gives no damns and just wants to own and control every aspect of wrestling.
 
Well Damn John :smokin... You know how much I :smokin, so I miss/forget to things :lol:... That's really ******* cool...

I highly doubt AJ wants to go to the Fed... I think he's very happy with what he's got going...
 
you guys have to remember ecw was nothing more than an independent promotion who was popular with the hardcore philly wrestling fans. before it started even gettin any type of underground recognition. they would be in gyms, bars, they were even doing the Aztec club on deleware Ave which was an outdoor beach setting type place with a 30 foot waterfall. I'll never forget snuka splashing someone off of the waterfall and getting the cover in the pool. this was all before the ecw arena.
their man spot was the sports bar on 8th and market which is closed now but once they lost that spot they had to move somewhere and it happened to be there. and then ecw took off and the rest was history.

what happens with nxt once Vince retires and h has to take over the main show? does regal take over? he is h right hand man when it comes to scouting talent he's his jim Ross
 
The single biggest reason I believe in Haitch is because of the guys be surrounds himself with... And Regal would be my guess as well, but NXT seems more like a committee... In the best way possible, not like a closer :lol:...

And it's just cool knowing the history of that arena... It doesn't matter what it was, but what it has become...
 
He's broken a few necks. Not the safest move if you don't get perfect cooperation from the other guy.

What up late night NTWT? Anyone ever feel like strangeling their significant other? GF thinks she is gonna fail one of her classes this semester. She's being all depressed. Told her to man up, study more and get over it.
