Crash Tested Wrestling is going to be at the lovely and official historic landmark Don Preston Recreation Center on February 27th with Ron Simmons and Teddy Long as the guests.
Roster: Jarod Priest Brawn The Lumberjack (I look forward to him no-selling and trying to get himself over to the total detriment of the show) The Furies (Mitch Blake and Screwball) Machine Willie Da Bomb Richardson Grimm Jake O'Neil Rion Skills Wilhelm Flannigan Aaron Xavier And other Chicago area stallwarts
Tickets: $15 although they are selling autograph combo deals on their website. I have no idea who would want to pay $20 for a Teddy Long autograph.
Location: if by some chance you've never been to the Middle Dome (The Dallas Sportatorium of the Midwest) it is located at 14500 s. Kostner Ave. In Midlothian, Illinois.
I have tickets for Cannibal Corpse/Obituary that night

Wow! This is a smorgasbord of bad wrestling picked off the bottom feeding groups in the area. Isn't Machine the Blitz champion why is he doing a show like this?

Good call. The roster is made of up typical local indy guys, the usual suspects ( guys that are on 8 different local rosters) and the remaining non entertaining part of LWF's roster during it's last gasp, death throes shows.

Blitz facebook page is nothing but Vader videos which I understand as he is their big guest next week but I had to dig to find 2 matches announced: Machine vs. Grinn in a grudge match Marshee Rockett vs. Jay Bradley in his Southside stereotype gimmick

Also keep in mind this is the same company that over a year ago ran a charity show to raise money for a sick baby, didn't promote it and drew like 20 people, then had the nerve to have the owners come out after the main event to pitch a time share meeting. To this day they still have not given the family any money because they couldn't take any publicity photos with the kid or the doctors. They also brought in a bunch of names last month like DDP and Billy Gunn, drew about 100 and almost all of them left before intermission just to give you an idea of the quality of these shows.

Since Al started this Forum many years ago there was and always will be the folks who wish every Chicago Company well and a few that are just the type who wish Ill Will on certain companys. The type of person who just can't wait for that Filthy Rich Relative to die so they can get there Grubby Paws on the Fortune. I wish this company all the best on this upcoming event and future events as well. In fact I wish the very best to every Chicago area Wrestling Company.

Wonder if a majority of the crowd will be gone by Intermission like at their last show... Also when are they gonna pay the money they owe to the family they helped out a while back?

Bad wrestling and carny behavior is exactly what chicago wrestling does NOT need. People like this should NOT be wished well.

It's not being an "armchair quarterback", it's calling out pieces of sh*t who steal money from a sick baby and continue to run shows when they have no business doing so. Every fan that goes to these shows (that aren't already friends/family) and walk out disappointed in the garbage they saw is one less fan willing to go to other wrestling shows and that hurts everybody. I know everyone wants to be nice and wish everyone the best, but not these guys, f**k them.

I totally agree that if any company runs a Bogus Fundraiser then it is a Criminal Matter. Does that make every worker on this event a Criminal ? It's just the nature of this business. Many of you do not realize that its Orgins come from The Carny Industry.. Every person is not a Refined and Decent person. Every job , profession, in every walk of life has its fair share of decent folks and Scumbags.

Many of today's fans do realize how wrestling has origins in the carnival world. However most fans are smartened up and calling something "carny" is meant as an insult. Holding bogus charity shows, advertising talent that was never booked, bait and switch : Joe Cena or fake mankinds and kanes or never sending merchandise or tickets to shows that were never going to happen, it's all carny. I stopped supporting a promotion that had suberb talent but the promoter started pulling more and more carny crap. So if this promotion is pulling carny antics with this talent roster ( the same set of guys that appear on nearly all local shows that get sh*t on)i'm definitely staying clear.
