GCW return next month with outdoor show

[Steveweiser]

Game Changer Wrestling have announced that they will return to action on June 20th with "The Wrld on GCW Part 2" at White River State Park in Indianapolis. Fans will be requested to wear face masks at the show, and masks will be provided at the door for fans who don't have any. Fans are being asked to respect their fellow fans' space.

For GA, fans are being asked to bring their own chairs so that they can space out in a location of their choice an appropriate distance from other fans. GCW will reduce ringside seating by 50% and stagger the configurement so there is a safe distance in front, at the back and on either side of each group or individual fan. Fans may sit in a small group if tickets were purchased together. Any individual ringside tickets will be spaced out appropriately.

GCW will provide no fewer than 12 hand sanitizer stations on site, and they are working with White River State Park to maintain a working capacity in accordance with local guidelines.

This is very risky, but GCW are looking to make sure they are making this event as safe for fans, talent and crew as they can. Really hope this works out so that other promotions can take note if able to.

Good ideas.

Wonder if/when/how the meet and greet portions will eventually be reinstated? That is some indies' bread and butter, whereas GCW and others stress their homegrown talent.

I hope it goes well for them. GCW seems to be a place that goes above and beyond creatively and in terms of organisation so them being the first to try it isn't surprising.

I'm sort of at the point with this stuff that the governments have basically said "F*** it", I can't be annoyed at companies trying stuff or booking shows but at the very least, they're taking all the precautions they need to make it work.

The first two matches are set, as Nick Gage takes on Nate Webb, and Allie Kat goes one on one with Effy. Others appearing include Alex Zayne, Calvin Tankman, Lee Moriarty and Mance Warner.

EDIT: Blake Christian vs. Myron Reed just added.

Hell yeah! This combined with NJPW resuming events soon is great news.

These days, my three favorite promotions are AEW, NJPW, and GCW.

IF you are going to do a wrestling show right now, this is exactly how you should do it. Hopefully it goes well for them.

Even though Indy is 3 hours from me, I'm bummed I missed out on the tickets.

[Derk!]

Neat. Will probably order this even if I'm not familiar with everyone on the card. Hope all goes with this and future events.

They’ve already confirmed their next show in July...

Edit: And I missed the swear so what was originally here was the confirmation of Backyard Wrestling 2 on July 4th and it’ll be the first edition to be on FITE!

Dang. Would have been fun to go see.
