I'm so jealous. Last night had Osprey vs Amazing Red. The two main people I wanted to see were Liger and Red and they're getting wasted in a tag match together tomorrow.🤬

Here’s a album of all my pictures from the show Theresa few spoilers in the pictures imgur.com/a/M1ChBNmI've got a lame question, but since you were there, I have to ask. Is Eagles still coming out to "Creature" even though he's not in BC anymore?

Robbie and Ryan must be like the Mike Kanellises (sp?) of Australia in that case.

I was at the show I won't go into specific details because honestly I didn't know who a lot of the guys were. And spoilers for the tournament itself have already been posted here for those interested. Venue is really tiny I'd say maybe 500 people there but the show sold out immediately. A few scattered empty seats throughout the building. Dave Meltzer was there complete with laptop AND MOUSE DANGLING FROM LAPTOP. Seriously Dave who is still using a mouse for their laptop anymore? LOL Merchandise line stretched nearly the length of the entire small venue! We spent almost 90 minutes in the merch line. We watched the first two matches which were Jonathon Gresham and Robbie Eagles vs 2 of the LA Dojo guys from the line. Third match was a Bushi match which we missed completely because by that point we'd finally made it into the tiny room where the merchandise was being sold. Karl Fredricks teamed with another LA Dojo guy vs. Gedo / Ishimori. Crowd was hot for Frederick's because he's a local APW guy and the people at this show were the exact same people that show up for APW events. Liger / Red v Rocky / YO was a fun tag match but I really felt like we got robbed since the Washington show got Osprey vs. Red in a singles match. I can't remember the last time I saw Amazing Red. Had to be around 2010. Glad to see he finally went through puberty LOL. Seriously I was always a big Amazing Red fan and it was cool to finally see him live. They did a quick hype video announcing NJPW coming to San Jose November 9th, the crowd popped huge for that announcement. Carstico AKA Original Sin Cara has a Spanish Love Ballad as an entrance theme. It's quite possibly the worst theme you've ever heard. Everybody just kind of looked at each other like, WTF. I had never heard of El Phatasmo before I read his name on the line up for this show. I was expecting a masked Luchador to come out. Imagine my surprise when an unmasked white dude came out instead LOL. Him and TJP had a great match and he definitely won me over. Phantasmo is highly entertaining in the ring and plays a douchebag heel very well. He even managed to out douchebag heel TJP if you can believe that. At this point the main event was about to start and the entire undercard was finished in just under two hours. We thought the show was going to run really short but Osprey vs. SHO got 35 minutes. Great match with Osprey giving SHO far more than I would have ever expected. I love Osprey but damn I wish he'd tone it down. I'd like to see this guy for the Long Haul and the way he goes out there that's just not going to happen. Osprey did a great post-match promo saying how he went out drinking in San Francisco the night before and was still hungover. He even admitted that during the meet-and-greet earlier in the day that he felt like s***. He also said that NJPW encouraged him to take time off after the G1 but he said, screw that the Super J Cup was coming up and he wasn't going to miss it. Osprey verbally got into it with a group of fans sitting in the front row during the match and he even addressed them in the post-match promo which he seemed to simply laugh off. Overall it was a solid show but I've been watching ticket prices on StubHub for the last few weeks and some of those tickets went for $500 each. Luckily I only paid $90 for ours. It was a solid show but definitely not a $500 individual ticket show.
