I was at Wrestling is Art last night - they drew a healthy crowd of 200+ or so. I would say it was the best crowd in terms of numbers and heat out of any of the Wrestling Is...shows.
Show itself was very good, with Taylor/Fox being the MOTN and Cabana/Donst not far behind. Oddly the Devastation Corp vs. Assailant/Green Ant was the main event of the evening.

Change to the March 3rd Wrestling Is Awesome show,instead of Dalton Castle vs Frank O'Rourke its now Frank O'Rourke vs Quackenbush and Dalton Castle vs Juan Francisco De Coronado.
Also it seems Obariyon can't make the February 23 Wrestling is fun show so now its now Kobald/Kodama vs. The Estonian ThunderFrog/The Latvian Proud Oak and Saturyne vs. A Mystery Opponent.

ARG! I made some time to sit down and watch Wrestling is Respect 1, but SMvod isn't playing video right now. Something's up with the site I think...Looks like a good card though.

Alright - it finally started working: 1) Mike Quackenbush pinned Green Ant: Solid back and forth match w/no real striking at all. Quack threw one elbow, but overall a fun submission wrestling exhibition.
2) Drew Gulak made Leech Landa submit: Okay match. had some okay moments, but not the most exciting competition. Leech Landa's an agile guy, but makes Ophedian look like he's on the juice. 3) Angel Orsini defeated Kimber Lee: eh.....didn't really get into this one.
4) Gran Akuma pinned Ophidian: Good match between the two. Lotta fun moves from both dudes.
5) Francis O'Rourke beat the Estonian ThunderFrog: okay match, nothing really stood out.
6) Veda Scott rolled up Saturyne: Very solid match. Both these wrestlers have a lot of potential if they keep pushing themselves.
7) Oleg the Usurper pinned Soldier Ant: salute
8) Delirious defeated The Shard: Nice main event, with some good comedy and athleticism. I think it went on a bit too long and it seemed like the match didn't flow as well as you'd think with these two guys, but still.

February 23rd Wrestling Is Fun Results:
Opening contest sees Dasher Hatfield take on Frightmare -Reversing the Suicide Squeeze into a Crucifix Bomb gives Frightmare a HUGE win over Dasher
Match 2 sees STIGMA do battle with Jolly Roger -A hard hitting battle sees Jolly Roger pick up the win. He did try and appeal to STIGMA after the contest
Match 3 pits Princess Kimberlee(I assume this is the Kimber lee from the Wrestling is respect show) against Saturyne -An impressive debut but Princess Kimberlee but after Saturyne was victorious, the Princess laid her out!
Tag action sees Kobald & Kodama of The Batiri take on the Estonian Thunder Frog & Latvian Proud Oak -Kobald takes his eyes off the action & toward Cameraman Gary, Thunder Frog & Latvian Proud Oak capitalize for the win!
Back from intermission & we've got Oleg The Usurper going one on one with Sir Lance Steel on deck -Sir Lance Steel fought valiantly but alas, was no match for Oleg The Usurper
The trash talking is done as now Juan Francisco De Coronado w/Herbert takes on Lightning Mike Quackenbush -Quack attempted a victory roll, only to be reversed by Juan Francisco De Coronado & the assist by Herbert for the win!
Tag action sees the Devastation Corporation take on Fire Ant & Green Ant -For the 1st time in WiF! history, the Devastation Corp. lose via count out, your winners, Green Ant & Fire Ant
Main event pits Mark Angelosetti defend the prestigious potassium against Hallowicked! -After turning Hallowicked's mask around, obscuring his view, Mark Angelosetti steals a win & keeps the banana

Sunday's show has now been postponed. Wow. Two of their first three shows cancelled/postponed. Not a good start at all. Funny thing is, I've emailed them a few times & told them I can put them in contact with the local wrestling promoter in my town. He's had TNA come here a few times & is good at securing venues and promoting the shows. But Wrestling is Awesome didn't reply to any of my emails.

But seriously, are all of these promotions officially tied to Chikara? If so, why so many sub-feds?
Also, we all know what wrestling is. It's daft, it's moist, it's a bitter pain.
