The Resistance - 2/9 Summit, IL 7:30pm - New Jack

Did New Jack unretire?

Is anyone going to this card?
I went to the last one and it had the smallest crowd and was the worst show I ever saw.

They try to be hardcore with even the opening bout going into the stands and one of the promoters using the word "sh*t" in every sentence as he was announcing.

I wish them well but maybe they could draw more without the hardcore gimmick and by doing some actual promoting of their shows. I doubt they take the time even visit our message board or other wrestling sites, but maybe the crowd sizes will give them a clue into what they want to become.

btw, I saw the usual group of fans at the last show paying extra to sit in the front including the loud guy with the Rick Steiner medieval-type headgear.
Say what you want about this group, but they are loyal wrestling fans; I'm not sure if these two promoters have a clue or even appreciated them attending.

I thought the last show was pretty good, it made sports illustrated online even with the Shane Mercer bleachers spot. The show is also must attend for any ecw fan as new jack has not been in the area for almost 20 years

Mercer also threw the bleachers into the ring for some spots it was definitely a sight to witness live and it got people talking, there were other good matches on the show and they do deathmatch main events now. The show last night was great, New Jack killed it and the fans all loved it. The main event with the Rejects was GCW style mayhem. This place in Summit is the new Chicago deathmatch venue and I can't believe they let them bleed all over the building but they freaked out when Orin wanted to steal a beer to use as a weapon. That's a 5 dollar beer dammit, you can't waste that!

It was pretty decent crowd maybe around 150. Everyone was buying autographs and pictures from Jack it was 10 bucks if you had your own item and 10 bucks a picture but 20 to buy an autographed picture that he provided and at intermission he sold a bunch more. The segment with Jack went off without a hitch it was pretty much a perfect ECW style run in Jack hits the ring with his usual cart of plunder to natural born killaz and cleans house, bends the crutch over a poor saps head, vacuum cleaner to the nads, and the powder guitar on BD Smooth for the win! It was worth the price of admission just for that, I'm sure the unicorns have it on their channel if you wanna be the judge.
