Time for a thread. I know there’s quite a few shows happening in the Midwest tomorrow but this is the one I’ll be at. EWE’s Brass Monkey 2020 in Jeffersonville.
J Prodigy is a name a lot of indie wrestling fans won’t know. He had a very short career. Started wrestling professionally (after a stint as a backyard wrestler Back Doors Lock - BDL) in Dec 98 & his last result is for Jan 01. Mainly wrestled for IWAMS &
J.C. Bailey’s dad Joe Bailey’s promotion Bad 2 the Bone Wrestling. A junior heavyweight inspired by guys like Tarek the Great, American Kickboxer, Super J Cup 94 & a guy he got to share the ring with, Reckless Youth. He won the IWA light heavyweight title on 2 occasions.
His best friend is one of my closest friends, my color commentator Big B - Brian Vinson @victmizah. Jeremy unfortunately passed away on 2/29/04 at the age of 29. His full potential never to be seen in a wrestling ring by the masses.
As a 10-11 year old, I was a big fan of BDL/J Prodigy’s. Even wrestling my Hulk Hogan wrestling buddy wearing all red like he did. That Reckless/Prodigy/Kid Match from Oolitic was one of my favorites as a young “omgz workrate” fan.
Tomorrow night, we remember the life of J Prodigy with an 8 man tournament; with help from @ewewrestling_ with a little bit of everything for everyone.
The bad news, Lincoln Moseley has the flu. He will not be appearing. His replacement will be announcement in the morning to take on @DalePatricks. I’ve known Dale since before he was Dale Patricks. No butt stuff tomorrow, Dale. The show is in a church gym LOL
People like to throw around the word HOSS but talk about a mother fucking HOSS BATTLE. @Dillinger_exe vs @theirondemon. Can’t wait to see these two behemoths butt heads.
Talk about a guy that has no off switch, no first gear, @AcePerryIndy is that dude. Idk how he’s not everywhere vs @FreddieHudson15. I like Freddie a lot. I think he’s extremely underrated. I’m excited to see what these two do in that ring.
The last 1st rd match features two of my favorite people. @LukasGJacobs v @TheReedBentley. Both of these guys are pumped for this match & that pumps me up. If you know Da Seed, you know he’s got some tricks up his cut off sleeves.
I hope whenever I do the big jay oh bee, there’s a friend like Big B to help keep my memory in this crazy world of wrestling alive. If you live in Kentuckiana and you’re not headed up north, come hang out. Cheap concessions, a good time to be had by all.
Looking at the card for tonight’s IWA show, not star studded like a Heartbreak or 1000th show but man, what a fucking show it was. Super proud of the whole roster tonight. Good to great and more arrows point to great than just good tbh. I think we need a thread...
Open the show with @pompanojoe, someone who doesn’t get enough love vs @bighoss1916 in his IWA debut. Joe rules. The moniker “Everyone’s Homie” is 100% the truth. Really hope we see Hossman back. A student of Dr Tom’s is always welcomed in IWAMS
Follow that up with @SatuJinnUncivil & @HybridZodiak. To quote Mr Langston, TWO BIG MEATY MEN SLAPPING MEAT & that’s what we got. Beat the shit out of each other. Talk about a mother effin HOSS battle. Satu’s a whole different animal than we saw in his last IWA run.
Hope y’all check out tonight’s show when it drops on IWTV. I’m extremely proud of everyone involved. A barn burner of a show from # 1 to # 8! @pompanojoe vs @kevin_giza was DOPE. A great opening match. Told a great story AND had cool moves. They worked hard and it showed.
Next up on the show was @BraydenxLee vs @THELoganJames1 tore it down for the IWA Jr Title. You always know it’s gonna be total nonstop action (not Uncle Jeff) and it was. Of course, Logan had to be a dick after. Definitely not the last we’ll see of those two
Followed that up with @HybridZodiak vs @stonewall_wwa in a mother effin hoss battle! Two big dudes beating the snot out of each other. Zodiak lookin good in his return in his new fancy gear. Would definitely like to see this one again.
Just saw @TrulyRotten post that “Marvelous” Mitch Ryder passed away. Makes me extremely sad. No one was the perfect Memphis heel than Mitch Ryder when he was on. I was looking forward to his return next month. Sad we’ll never see it.
Can only imagine the hell him and Sweeney are raising right now. Search Mitch Ryder on IWTV & do some research, especially if you’re a villain. Little things he did can be used today & still work.
I filmed this promo at Jammerz after a young wrestler did 3-4 takes. Mitch didn’t think about it, did it in one take & @ManceWarner was like man, that’s how it’s done and this wasn’t even in Mitch’s prime
