So I decided to start this thread to help remember the good old days. I went to go watch the 25th anniversary of Wrestlemania with Ryan (xCancrusherx) and was just so disappointed at how things are nowadays. Ever since Vince McMahon bought out WCW and ECW things are just so stale. There are plenty of talented people with the WWE, its just that they are given shitty storylines and horrible gimmicks to work with. They have just sucked all the fun out of it. The only thing remotely interesting about the PPV was Stone Cold Steve Austin and Terry Funk being inducted into the Hall of Fame. All of this disappointment aside, there is till plenty of decent wrestling to be found.
I highly recommend checking out Pro Wrestling Guerilla (PWG) and Ring of Honor (ROH) if you want to experience some nostalgia. If you just want to see all out amazing matches with high spots (dives, high flying stuff) and some good technical wrestling. Also check out IWA-Mid South/East Coast and Combat Zone Wrestling (CZW) if you want to see a bunch of deathmatch and more hardcore related matches (Both remind me so much of how ECW used to be). I also know this is a stretch but check out Wrestling Society X (WSX) also. WSX came on MTV for one season, it had a cheesy presentation including special effects but was also a good showcase of various indy wrestlers. It was pretty much the only place you could see any of these guys on cable without having to order PPV (it also included guys like Vampiro and New Jack).

CM Punk reminds me of Kid Kash. and speaking of him......
"Kash shortly left ECW back to the indies and even wrestled house shows for World Wrestling Entertainment. It was during a WWE house show against the tag team Too Cool that Cash broke both of his ankles performing a botched hurricanrana on Scotty 2 Hotty."
how do you break both ankles with a hurricanrana?!

I loved Curryman. He wrestled as Curryman in Japan and still does on occasion.

ROH is owned or was owned (I cant remember)by Jim Cornette and is basically where TNA got most of its wrestlers. TNA has is now where any of their wrestlers can no longer perform on ROH PPVs since it is becoming a bigger promotion. It is like how Ohio Valley Wrestling is to the WWE. Also TNA was part of the NWA. The NWA was its own federation made up of different feds from around the different regions of the country. NWA had no relation to WCW, mainly because the NWA is still around.

"house show" in wrestling does not mean the same thing as it does in music.
