Starting to get excited.
“Wrestlemania” week starts tomorrow.
I’m not even that excited about Wrestlemania. I’m not seeing it live, though I do live about 30-40 minutes from the location.
HOWEVER.
I AM seeing TWELVE shows live over the next five days.
Tomorrow, Wed 3/29, 8pm – “Punk Goes Wrestling, Vol 1”, the inaugural show of PUNK PRO WRESTLING. Really excited about this one. I’ve seen about half the wrestlers before, heard of most of the rest, but there’s a couple who are complete unknowns to me, so that’s fun, too.
The rest of my Wrestlemania week is the WWN Live “More Than Mania” package.
Thursday, 8pm – EVOLVE 80
Friday, noon – PROGRESS Wrestling (their US debut) “Progress Orlando”
Friday, 4pm – EVOLVE 81
Friday, 8pm – CHIKARA “Turn Left”
Friday, 11:59pm – Kaiju Big Battel “Civil Wars”
Saturday, noon – SHIMMER 91
Saturday, 4pm – CHIKARA “Bad Wolf”
Saturday, 8pm – “WWN Live Supershow: Mercury Rising: EVOLVE vs PROGRESS”
Saturday, 11:59pm – Beyond Wrestling “Caffeine”
Sunday, 10am-6pm The Hardy #BROKENTailgate Party
BBQ food, two wrestling shows, and “other surprises”
11am – American Combat Wrestling
2pm – Full Impact Pro
The list of wrestlers that I’ll get to see live for the first time is super long. This will be the first time I’ll see SHIMMER, Kaiju, Beyond, ACW and (obviously) Punk Pro and Progress live. I’ve seen 3 EVOLVE shows live, 5 or 6 Full Impact Pro, and 2 CHIKARA shows before.
