The three way absolutely slapped (literally and figuratively).
Bianca had an incredible entrance -- hype for this one!

Let me just say that there will be no April Fool's shenanigans on this account.
I want to be able to say that Cole Radrick is one of my favourite wrestlers without anyone thinking that I am ribbing them.
#wrestling #wrestlemaniaweekend
I'm up and it's wrestling time! Starting out with Jimmy Lloyd's D-Generation F!
#wrestling #wrestlemaniaweekend
Nothing amazing, in large part due to scheduling -- still a fun show! Notes:
- Trish Adora and Tankman were incredible in the main event. Had it been in front of an energetic crowd, and not at 02:00 on Friday morning, they would have been up there for best match of the weekend so far.
- Man Like DeReiss vs. Myron Reed vs. K Knight was the semi-main. A good 3.25+ star match. Worth a look, especially if you are unfamiliar with any of these three. DeReiss has a rapping entrance, and the energy in the building (at least on video) changed when he walked out. Really bright futures ahead for these three.
- Billy Dixon vs. Willie Mack: I was so hype for this match, but it was NO GOOD. A shame, as I really like both of these guys. If you are looking for a great Willie Mack match, check out the match he had with Speedball last year in the same venue!
- Opener: Faye Jackson had a Low End Theory inspired singlet!

For this #transdayofvisibility I continued not to be visible on the transphobic bird site. It's sad not being on twitter during #WrestleManiaWeekend, but hopefully by next year we will have built a thriving Fedi wrestling community together.

Having representation is great, but booking For The Culture as an after thought every year is just not good. It needs a better time slot than 00:00 the night before the most, or second most, busy day of the weekend.
#wrestling #wrestlemaniaweekend
So far I've seen Bloodsport, DDT Goes Hollywood, a bunch of C6, some of the ACW show, and am watching For The Culture before heading to bed. Matches of the weekend so far:
- Mike Bailey vs. Kota Ibushi
- Chris Brookes & Yoshihiko vs. MAO & Shunma Katsumata
- Konosuke Takeshita vs. Yuki Ueno
- Jon Moxley vs Alex Caughlin
- Barnett vs Thatcher
The opener of the first DDT show of the weekend, Chris Brookes & Yoshiko vs. MAO & Shunma was absolutely off the charts great. Wrestling is art, and few matches make that more explicit with no requisite prior knowledge. The level of skill that MAO demonstrated when working with Yoshihiko (a literal blow-up doll) was incredible.
Hope to watch the GCW vs. DDT, Jimmy Lloyd, ROH,, and Mania night one tomorrow.

Calder McCol and Jeff Cobb kicking the show off!

Thesis is submitted!
Now the plan is to watch all of the GCW September-March shows (with cherry picking) before Mania Weekend next week. Sounds...uh...doable I guess.
Currently finishing up with the GCW Japan shows. Effy vs. Jun Kasai on at the moment.
