Luchasaurs stops trying use every second to hype the crowd and not look like a bootleg Kane and he'd be awesome. Loved that match.

Loved the show but holy crap have I never actually realized just how long a wrestling show feels that is just wrestling wowza and this was a show I thoroughly enjoyed but it is a damn endurance test.
LuchaBros are always my highlight because Pentagon is mah boy CERO MIEDO! dude is just something truly special.
Luchasaurus was something he did somethings no seven footer should be doing while it was not pretty he surprised me with what he is capable of and with another year or so of polish dude is gonna be talk of the park.
But match of the night for me goes to the scramble match that was so insane yet so fun , everyrhing that is wrestling to me was this match and I loved every second of it.
SPACE CATS!! not dwelling on her past....Jessika Havok could be pretty damn cool in LU and her man is there so maybe season 4.
Holligans beatng up Jerivis not cool at all...where was Thunder Frog when you need him!

Yeah, the show was great but f***, no show should brush against the six hour mark. I felt horrible for the stuff between Morrison/Luchasaurus and LuchaBros./reDRagon because we were dead in the building. I mean we tried but man we were looking for a nap, lol. I get the complaints people had in the early RoH days now.

I felt exhausted by the time the main event started just watching it through twitch....I cannot fathom 6hrs in that building even as great as that show was in the sweltering heat.
LuchaBros woke the crowd up though after the Elgin and Sydal matches.

Wait, that thing lasted another two and a half hours after I left?!
I mean, I'll check some of the matches out but that is really long.
I won't rag too much, though, this is a first attempt at a stream, one done through Twitch of all places, so they can only improve and fine tune from there.
Honestly, I just want an excuse to watch that Scramble match again.

I will say one negative so far because it has been a fun show...the commentary kind of sucks. When Hoyt was in the ring with Ellering. He was really good. In commentary, he has flickers of being a good colour guy but most of the time, it feels like he's super lazy and drags it down. The other guy isn't that great either. Besides that, digging it so far. I compared him to Chett Chetterfield if he actually called a match in the Twitch chat last night. I didn't even know it was Hoyt until he did the Rachel interview. Yeah, they definitely need someone else to do color. Anyway, this was the first WrestleCircus show I've seen, and I did enjoy it, enough to become a Twitch subscriber (but that may have been as much to have a Jervis and Haitch emoticon, I guess, lol).

Yikes, six hours? I didn't have the energy after a long day and crashed shortly after start time would have been to my disappointment, but finding out I would have been up to 1 AM makes me less upset I missed it, that would have been murder even if I pulled it off.

Yeah, while everything on the show was solid to awesome I cannot tell anyone to sit through all 6 hours at once. I do say check out the whole show if you can.
If anyone just wants to highlights find the opening tag, the mixed tag, the Joey 3 Belts match, Ladder Match and Lucha Bros./reDRagon
Oh and Morrison/Luchasaurus is worth a look as well.

I'll agree this time the show was too long. I really felt it during Sydal/Wentz and Reed/Elgin. The bathrooms getting shut down at about the 4 hour mark was a killer. I know this is falls on the venue and not WrestleCircus, but serving beer for four hours than closing the bathroom should be considered cruel and unusual punishment.
Despite those two complaints, I had a great time. The card was so stacked. It will take me forever to get through the replay to pick up on all the little things I missed. My favorite matches were the ladder match, the scramble match, and the main event. I turned on the stream once from the front row during the reDRagon/Lucha Bros match and counted a 10 second delay.
My favorite moment of the night was during the scramble match - Stone Cold Leva Bates took a seat beside me and finished my beer for me. Of course I snuck in a selfie.

Honestly, that scramble match alone made me hope this Twitch deal works out because, man, for all the obvious Joey Ryan stuff that was in there, it felt so damn fun. That Jordan LenX guy is going places.
Speaking of Bates, there was a point where she was on her stunner run when I was thinking 'Man, Leva Bates isn't great at hitting a stunner. And I don't give a freaking damn!'
Also, I share the sentiment on the ladder match. That was the craziest damn thing, I would have been happy with whoever won.

ALSO, just to add something I just thought up.
Man, I felt so bad for Jessika Havok when they were doing running yakuzas, she couldn't keep up with Sami at all. When Sami said 'Around the world!' I thought 'Good lord, Havok might actually die'.

Sami knows no other way but 100% straight forward and it is always amazing....Havok bless her this time she did try to keep up with him....tried lol.
The smack on the ass at the end after she goozled him second earlier...true love.

I've only watched parts of the DiveHard replay so far. I absolutely loved the video package they did on Sammy Guevara at the very start of the show.
I had a couple people tell me Shelton Benjamin was there, but I personally didn't see him and can't confirm that. I did see Tully Blanchard there again though. He seems to come to every show that Tessa is on, which is cool. As much as I want to, I'm way too intimidated to approach Tully and ask for a picture. He's the only person at WrestleCircus I've been afraid to talk to. I did get a picture with Rachael, Tessa, and Mia all together though. I'll post that with my other selfies in that selfie thread on the off-topic board like I usually do.

I did get to see Fenix running around with his mask off trying to find a place to pee about 3 minutes before his match. Actually got to see most of the wrestlers watching the show from top of the stairs behind the curtain. Kinda had the Strickland surprise spoiled since I saw him standing around in gear with the case as the main went on. Poor Jervis, after he got jumped, the ref helped him past the curtain and he dropped him on the stairs. Jervis then crawled up the rest rest crawled up the rest crying "Why?" Just about everyone was gathered around trying to watch the ladder match. Easily the most chill show I've been to. No jockeying for a spot among the fans, no power tripping workers from the promotion, none of the wrestlers doing anything to get a shirt sold or shit like that. Leaving everyone seemed to be hanging around the building chatting instead of being chased off like other shows. I've heard the length of the show was because of travel issues the Lucha Bros. were having. Their plane was late and they didn't arrive until the end of the ladder match or something, not 100% on that. Also the Carnival Cash-In case was one of these with the sticker taken off.

Their plane was late and they didn't arrive until the end of the ladder match or something, not 100% on that. Also the Carnival Cash-In case was one of these with the sticker taken off. Funny stuff. I've been coming to the shows early to help setup and I've seen quite a few guys without their masks now. It's really no big deal, but at the same time it's never not weird. Fenix and Penta I've both seen unmasked before. The first time I saw Penta I didn't even realize it was him until I saw him putting on his facepaint later. The most jarring one for me was seeing Space Monkey without any of his gimmicks on, which was right after this last show. I didn't realize it was him at first, but he kept looking at me (probably cuz I was wearing one of his shirts) which gave him away so I talked to him for a bit. That was actually cool because the only times I've interacted with before he was always in character. I had to pee during the Morrison/Luchasaurus match and ended up peeing behind a dumpster behind the building. I could tell I wasn't the first to find that spot. Before coming back in the building I watched the end of that match from the windows on 8th street looking into the building. It's a surprising great view up there. One person standing out there had a GA seat but said he moved out there for the better view. Jervis selling all the way up the stairs is a funny story. That doesn't surprise me he did that. He's all-in with his performances. That's the one guy at WrestleCircus I've never seen without his mask on (at least that I know of). Seeing guys watch the show through the curtain and from the balcony is a pretty common thing at 800 Congress. Sometimes the talent is even hanging out in the back of the crowd by the beer stand watching matches. It really is a fun atmosphere. My favorite was seeing Lance Storm intently watching his trainees (specifically the Rachael Ellering vs. Taya Valkyrie match) from the balcony that one time he was here. Moments like that are special. Yes, the "Carnival Cash-In" was 100% a WWE Money In The Bank briefcase with the logos removed. It was actually brought in by one the regular fans and WrestleCircus got the entire roster to sign it for him. I think that was the agreement anyway. I'm just glad to hear you enjoyed yourself at the show. I always enjoy hearing feedback about WrestleCircus, especially from those attending or watching for the first time. I'm still trying to catch up on the feedback from being on Twitch. This company has just exploded in popularity. I love it.

So apparently at various points, WrestleCircus was in the top slot on the Twitch homepage.
That's....not a minor thing.
Also, matches for the next show in July will he announced at 6pm CMT tonight.
