Wait, NWF Kids Pro Wrestling was a real thing? Old Man Tronson didn't want them having any fun.

Oh, here's one I haven't thought about in a very long time:
Legacy Wrestling Enterprises.
LWE was one of the many promotions that swamped the DFW area in the early 2000s, but looked much more promising than most of the others. For their first show, they announced a very interesting line-up, including AJ Styles, Mil Mascaras, Sandman, Paul London, Jim Duggan, Manny Fernandez as well as some of the best local talents around.
Oh, I forgot to mention, they booked Candido and Sunny.
Anyway, their first show, dubbed LWE Explosion, took place on December 5, 2002 at the Cowtown Coliseum in Fort Worth. For the most part, it went okay. Decent if not super-spectacular show. There were a few glitches, but I forget them, as the show went along, but nothing major.
And then we got to the main event - Candido (w/ Sunny) vs. Sandman
All three had shown up to the show extremely late and EXTREMELY drugged out of their minds. During their match, Sunny passed out two separate times, and at the end of the match, Candido started lobbing full, unopened cans of beer into the audience in retaliation for some perceived slight. There was much more to this debacle, but I've long forgotten the details. I seem to recall Sandman had a "Jake's snake" moment.
LWE never ran another show.

That has to be this match I remember watching this the first time just wondering what in the hell is this because it aint a match , it aint a fight but more just alot of stumbling a whole whole lot of stumbling...and falling.

I'm not sure what's left for Brian to cover. I love Wrestling With Wregret and keep hoping for newer material other than SD and RAW reviews.

That's it. I'm not going to watch through it all again, but is this the original unedited version that includes the can-launching or the "official" release they made that cut it out, trying to cover their asses legally? I'm not sure what's left for Brian to cover. ...we're on page 4 of mostly valid suggestions...

Id love to see Brian look more at some of the territories of the past. Itd br interesting to see more of his opinion considering he didnt start watching wrestling till 98.

Nope no can throwing they seem to cut it off as Sandman stumbles somewhere behind the bull pen or where they keep horses and then the camera begins to pan back to the ring to I would assume where Candido would then start lobbing the cans but it ends before anything else happens.

I was gonna suggest Ann Gunkel's outlaw territory she ran in Atlanta in the early 70's against Georgia Championship Wrestling that actually got a TV deal on whatever Ted Turner was calling his superstation at the time. But I figured it might be too hard to dig up a lot of information and footage from that long ago.

I just took a look, and I think I know where the confusion might be, there was an Incredibly Strange Wrestling that originated out of SF, not Montreal. Mike Rotch's ISW is a completely different promotion with the same initials. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incredibly_Strange_WrestlingBut yeah, both ISW and IWS are still going strong.

Was Andy Dalton,Apoc or Tim Storm on the show? I plan on interviewing Andy soon. Might ask him about it.

Unless he's traveled to Jersey at all in the 2000s or so, I doubt it, but...National Wrestling Superstars? Even had its own documentary which I referenced weeks ago, as well as featured in an indy wrestling doc on I think Nat Geo of all things?

The Corino/Bagwell incident on that same show. What happened? I may have heard of this before but I forgot.
