went to a wrestling show on a boat tonight!
specifically, IPW's third installment of War On the Shore. saw some favorites including Jumal Kyng and Ren Jones1, experienced requisite local right wing "patriot" wrestler Chad Alpha2, and was impressed with some folks i saw for the first time tonight like Stella Búho.
i love local indie wrestling so much. you're in it in a different way than you are with the big live TV wrestling shows. it's also just cool and inspiring to watch folks who are just doing this crazy thing because they love it. you know, not that the big stars don't love it, and some of these people may very well become big stars someday, but most of these folks are getting out there, putting their bodies on the line, doing the same bumps the people who make the big bucks do, and then they have to go back to their shitty job on Monday. that's dedication to an artform. that rules.
if you have a local indie i highly recommend you go. there's nothing else like it and i guarantee you're going to have a blast.

if nothing else the name is incredible, and to his credit he's no longer sporting straight up InfoWars logos on his boots
