Was thinking about the ending of TERMINUS 2 where Jon Gresham pretended to fire the referee after the finish was a total disaster and it hit me that this would make a good thread because the indys are a place where dudes can literally be as cringe as they wanna be and nobody can stop them except for themselves.
Here's my contribution that has been living rent free in my brain since 2015.

I saw a clip on Twitter of a match between Jack Evans and Ninja Mack from a GCW show in June. Jack Evans does a flip off the top rope and as usual lands directly on his own head. But this one is worse than his usual landings. It looked like he might have been paralyzed. Instead of Ninja Mack just covering him and going home so Evans could get medical attention Mack grabs Evans by the wrist and drags him to the corner for the next spot. Total amateur bush league bullshit.

Well, I won't link to their shenanigans - and I dare not call them an indy because how can you have an indy of only 6-8 people tops but they alternate out underneath of masks - but the goobers that held the show 2 years ago where Backyard Wolfpac Sting's knees bent the wrong way coming off the turnbuckle on their homemade ring CONTINUE to run "shows."
One would think after witnessing their friend suffer a catastrophic and life-altering injury that may give them pause and reevaluate their life choices.
But no, about every month or so someplace here in Delaware, they are at it again. Same ring, same 6-8 people, but with more plunder, light tubes, tables, chairs, wire, etc.
Putting on a show that makes Terry Landell's work look like Bill Watt's Mid South in 1986-1987.

Total amateur bush league bullshit. Watched that show live, and while Mack did dumbassedly try and move him after the spot, he realized pretty quickly something was wrong and took it home. Total time from the bad landing to when the match was over was maybe 20 seconds, if that.

Like, if you told me this was from the new Jackass, other than the production quality, I'd believe you.

Another Delaware person, I’m intrigued by this. There aren’t many Indy’s based here.

I remember reviewing an IWA-MS show, i think it was 2005 or so. There was a referee who messed up a match or two and was going to ref the main event. Ian Rotten came out and told him to get out of the ring and he was not reffing anymore. The referee pleaded for another chance. Ian was like, you're done after the show and walked off.
It was quite awkward.

Nikolai Volkoff and Bobby Fulton face off in a wrestling match... with no ring.
Honestly if there weren't video evidence, I would assume this was a fake story, because it seems such a stereotypically low rent indy wrestling debacle that there's no way it would be true. That both guys are trying to be professional and work around the lack of a ring almost makes things worse because it underscores just how amateur the actual fed was.

The line between embarrassing and hilarious is a very thin one.

Yeah, this one is embarrassing but not for Bobby or Nikolai.

And it looks like they have some loose affiliation with IPW Philly. If you really want to know, I can send your their IG account in DM. I only know of these guys because well, it IS Delaware after all.
