So you kind of want to make sure you don’t miss anything. And of course the other home for everything including the spotlight used to be the exclusive home for the spotlight. patreon.com/tappedoutpod. Uh and you know, look, we tell you all the time, you can’t I can’t stress enough. Yeah, you can get everything for free. everything kind of right there in the hint. But at $1, you get the weekly TV reviews. You get all of the show notes. Like for example, today’s spotlight show is six pages long. You get to see all the stuff and some of the little things, you know, the smaller details we didn’t get a chance to get to just because the sheer quantity of stuff to cover. Uh but we always say like, you know, and the best value there is at $5 you get the shows early. $10 you get the digital collectible uh copy there. And at $25 level, you get the physical 8 and a half by 11 autographed by the wrestler who has chosen to be the uh monthly Patreon exclusive. And uh that’s a huge value in my opinion because you’re going to pay that alone if you’re going out to these shows in my opinion. Now, got a whole lot of stuff to get in this week because it was a pretty, you know, look, it was a light week as far as looking back of the prior weekend. Um basically a handful of shows, not not a, you know, overabundance like we sometimes have. Uh WWE SummerSlam running two nights kind of, you know, I think kind of pushed a lot of people away from the weekend. Uh and we’ll go over those shows here in the Indie Rewind shortly and then we’ll dive into the making the drive segment where we kind of pay a little bit for last week because it uh right now there’s about a dozen shows that are going to be running this upcoming weekend. So definitely make sure you kind of check the making the drive segment out because there’s going to be a lot to go over. Uh but before we do that, let’s of course start where we always should start looking back over what went down this past weekend as we get into the Georgia Indie Wrestling Indie Rewind. And let’s start right up the road here from my place. Royston, Georgia up there in the Roy Dome. Uh Apocalypse Pro Wrestling. Yeah, probably good news is it’s the last time I have to call it that. Um squared circle action. they kind of had, you know, Apocalypse had invaded, taken over and absolutely just controlled the company as they had prided away from Jonathan Felner. Uh, and everything had been leading to team SCA versus team Apocalypse in the Asylum Cage war. And, uh, you know, even like when you thought they were going to be outgun, outman, and everything. Stevie Ray Frost, Xander Seabolt Tower, Jacob Ashworth, and a surprising Hunter James managed to handle Apocal handle hand, excuse me. Easy for me to say. Apocalypse the loss, which allowed Jonathan Felner to get John the Body Johnson, the boss one-on-one to actually get his hands and, you know, get his hands back on his company. and Apocalypse Pro Wrestling is no more and squared circle action is now back in full force. And uh you know that’s because like I said that it’s uh kudos to them by the way. You know a true measure if of if a story is working or not is going to be the kind of the the payoff the crowd you get for the big show. And kudos to them man. they drew, you know, I’ve heard a couple numbers, but you know, they’ve all kind of right there been in the ballpark of about 200 and uh that is a massive win for uh Square Circle action. Um not Apocalypse Pro Wrestling anymore. Um and it’s kind of I’m kind of eager to see where this all plays out and how this goes. Um you know, but kudos to those you know, everything that just to draw that big huge crowd. Uh but look, it was a lot of things going on on top of that. Uh just absolutely unexplainable. Rick Paige wins the battle royal for the number one contenders match honestly by accident. Uh he he literally was running for his life and after two the you know the other two final people go out he slid in the ring and everybody realized he won. Uh, but of course he somehow someway by every, you know, hook or crook method he could do. Rick Paige defeats TJ Trigger and is your new Friday Night Champion. Making history. I mean, absolute making history. Um, look, you can He’s a weasel. He’s a sneak. He They cheat. They do all the above. But Rick Paige has the argument to be made. He is the new Friday Night Champion. And uh yeah, I cannot absolutely believe that that was even a thing. Um they will of course be back just like clockwork every Friday. They’ll be back this Friday on the 8th. Um and of course, you know, if you want to check out what you missed to catch up over on their YouTube channel, give them a f, you know, give them a follow and that way every single week you’re not missing an episode. Uh but before I move on, I want to say special shout out to uh Greg Hunter, Brett Wolverton on commentary. Uh we’re big fans of Brett Wolverton and have been for a long time. It was cool to to hear that he was kind of back in the uh back in the mix there. Um also on Friday, one fall ran in Watkinsville. I actually drove over and hit that show. Myin and I kind of split. Myin did the uh he went up to the Royston Dome and then I made the drive over to Watkinsville. And uh it was kind of a big huge like this was kind of the first card coming out of summer stage that uh the big show they ran at the center stage downtown. Uh and so we kind of got our first looks at the new champions. Uh Brady Booker is your onefall champion. Vari Morales is your breakout champion. Uh of course Isis Reed, he is your uh uh the women’s champion there at Onefall. and a lot of cool stuff and it’s a lot of it’s to see some very interesting things kind of playing out uh as we come along. Clearly looks like Elilia Drago and you know one would one would expect this to be the case. He is not ready like he’s not going to a back of a line. Elilia Drago was such a dominant champion for so long. I feel like by the way a he does deserve a rematch obviously. Um and because you know being the former champion in as many title defenses as he put on for him to lose like eventually yeah I think he absolutely without question is probably still your number one contender. Uh but that so that feud is probably far from over. And um you know very interestingly I think Brady Booker and Elilia Drago is probably a feud we see for a very very long time even if it’s not in Georgia. And uh you read that between the lines and Helica Risk uh she was in a tag match. She was with Isis Reed against Hyena Hera and Riley Judah. And Hela Risk, you know, um look, I she’s fun. She’s happy. She’s golucky, but she’s seriously she wants to be the women’s champion. And she, let’s be let’s call it what it is. She abandoned her teammate Isis Reed. kind of hung her out to dry and made it very clear that she is next in line for Isis Reed’s title. Um Var Morales really, you know, he was in a six-man in the main uh with QT and Brady Booker versus Jimmy Wild, Tommy Mars, Parker Lee. Um really doesn’t set, nobody’s really stepped up Dvari and I’m not really sure I blame him by the way. Um, but I would not be shocked uh because in that match it kind of gave the vibes that Parker Lee who was the other, you know, Vari and Parker were one and two in the match at summer stage. I would not be shocked if that’s the first guy to step up um to Vari for that breakout, but I just they’re so deep there and so many young talents. Um, it it I don’t know that Var’s ever going to get a night off. I mean, I think there’s so many young guns coming for that title. Um, speaking of young guns, JD Inc. and KJ Impala, uh, they had a really good match against Warden Gillow really kind of stood out for me. Um, it’s weird because a lot of the the matches that, you know, you’re sitting and like great match, great match, great match. There was just something special, something a little bit different that made it stand out for me. Uh so if you know when I always talk about match of the night um but something that stood out and I think of people are going to it’s kind of people are asking questions um things that people are going to remember you know we talk about those kind of things for these shows. Kieran Gray attacked CJ Montana after CJ Montana was literally he had choked out Sid and just was absolutely ping and beating on him. It kind of teased like maybe Karen was coming to finish off Sid. But post Summer Stage and the battle that those two went through, it kind of made me question like what do are we going to see Kieran Gray and Sid, did those two form a respect factor for each other out of that match? Because they absolutely put each other through hell in that coffin match. And did uh Sid I don’t know that it was ever a lack of respect but maybe but you know Karen now looks like maybe uh either he is going to come over to Sid or is he ready to pull Sid into the darkness as well. Time will absolutely tell. Um like I said uh it just it’s a huge reset it feels like at one fall. Uh not in a negative way. I mean it’s just like hey we’ve got our new champions. We’ve had our big home run show. Now we got It’s like, hey, wrestling’s 365. Never stops. It’s 52 weeks a year. So, we’re just on to the next chapter. And, uh, there’s a lot of exciting things about that. And, uh, a major part of their next chapter at Onefall. Uh, this Thursday, they will be putting on a show, and we’re going to get into that a little bit in the making the drives, but a matter of fact, they’re running two shows this weekend. Uh, so check them out, of course. And uh when it comes to where you can see them at, that’s part of the huge news that um keep an eye on their social media at 1FW and big news about where you’re going to be able to see their wrestling pretty soon. Saturday, we head over to Buchanan, Georgia Premier Allstar Wrestling. Another loaded card, you know, just huge card headlined by Stevie Ray Frost and Mason versus Alexander Lev and AJ Black. And uh look, Levan Black, I mean a little bit, it was a West Georgia street fight and um it’s just a feud that is building and building and building between those four. Uh and you know, for even like a fight, a match like a street fight not to really probably resolve this situation pretty uh it’s escalating to high high levels. Also on the card, Lamar Phillips and Simon Surman went to a no contest. Uh Lucas Dilva D Silva defeated BK Bennett. That’s a really big win for him down there. Uh Seabold and Thorne defeated Shawn Nelson and Frankie Valentine. Again, another huge win for those two young men. Uh friend of the show, Christian Taylor, uh did take a loss as he to he took a loss to Chris Gaines. So cards again pretty loaded. Premier’s got a lot of stuff going on. Um they do have another massive card coming up on the 23rd, but along the way um at the on the 16th they have the uh a benefit for Billy Knight. Uh so kind of they’re going to be uh kind of basically doing two weekend like back toback the 16th and the 23rd. Lots of stuff loading up for both. Uh we’ll cover obviously those shows as we get closer to those, but uh give them a follow and as because they’ll kind of make their announcements as they go along. Uh because on the August 23rd show, Ma Scott Mason challenges left for the Southeastern Heavyweight Championship. Um and these guys know each other extremely well. They have a long long history together and they’re just kind of making it seems like that these feuds are starting to make their way around the state of Georgia. Also on Saturday, this is where we were. We headed over to Monroe Southern Fry Championship Wrestling. Um and it just absolutely a lot of brutality from top to bottom. Uh disturbed an Adrien Hawkins absolute brawled all over the building. No contest. Match never really got you know going really good. It was just that it was just that wild and crazy. Uh, Jacob Ashworth defeated Gillow by disqualification, but uh, that kind of did not go well for Gillow as he ended up uh, trying to put the boots to Ashworth and Billy Buck made a save and the next thing you know, we got a match with Gillow again. He’s doing a the old double header back to back. Guillo trying to be the Iron Man it seemed like against Jacob Ashworth first and then Billy Buck. Uh, but he took a loss to both of those guys. Um, but it’s going to get really, really interesting over there as uh Marvin and Sunny Days, they defeated Ethan and Aaron Dallas and Teao and Bobby Moore. So, it looks like Marvin Sunny Days. Look, it’s usually Sinaro in Sunny Days as Happy Madness as a team. Uh, but Sa Rinaro is your is your Southern Fried Champion. So, it kind of puts Marv and Sunny Days in the team for now. Uh so it’ll be unique to see how that team works as a unit uh there as Mad Street is trying to basically take over. It feels like kind of where the crusade took off. Mad Street’s kind of taken over the whole uh situation as well. Uh Judas and CTS had an absolute slugfest. Uh ended up in some uh chicainery, but the two did not want the match to be thrown out, so they kind of restarted the match. and Dudas picks up a big win and looks like he will go on to challenge for the Southern Fried Championship against we’ll come to that in a little bit. Chip Day and Seth Delay picked up a big win over Dominic Stucky and Hunter James. Uh folks, I got some bad news for you. Chip Day looked like he had a little bit of a chip on his shoulder, no pun intended. And uh one of the things we have often said on all of our podcast when Chip Day is motivated and fired up and he’s locked in, there’s not many if any that are better than Chip Day. So some of these young guys when they’re trying to give him reasons it feels like to motivate him, be careful what you wish for. You just might get it. Uh, and I think this Friday kind of, you know, we saw a little of a taste of it this night at Southern Fried, but I got a feeling that might be off to the races come uh, Rumble Jack on Friday, and we’ll go into that a little bit as well. Uh, of course, in the main event, Saaro and Nick Halen. Look, you did you expect anything less than these two going out there and putting on a wrestling clinic? I hope you did not, cuz that’s exactly what you were going to get. Uh, and by the way, speaking of Sour Naro, if you have not seen it yet, Saaro sat in this week and he was the uh guest host on the Tapped In uh podcast. Uh, really had a blast with S. Uh, and I got a good strong feeling it will not be the last time, uh, we have S Renaro on the show. Did again, Southern Fried, really good show. Uh, one of the big stories to come out of, of course, is at the end of the Dominic Stucky, uh, Hunter James versus Chip and Seth, delay match, things just went sideways for Hunter James and Dominic, uh, Stucky. They they just the two could not get on the same page and finally Dominic Stucky has had enough and just absolutely drilled Hunter James and the crowd went absolutely bananas. Um, it goes to show you the level of I don’t like to use the word hate much, but it goes to show you the level of hate they have for the little prick Hunter James there at Southern Fried Championship Wrestling. Um, that that just literally Dominic Stucky just hitting Hunter James. Boom. Massive crowd reaction. Everybody was there for it. Um, and I kind of think now we have to start asking ourselves, what’s next? Like, is this the first, you know, crack in the armor? Are more are more pieces going to fall? Uh, or is Dominic Stucky on an island of his own? Because here’s the other problem. You done some bad things along the way. Do you have anybody to to watch your back against the rest of the crusade? Dominic Stucky probably needs to consider that piece. Um, obviously, you know, they’re going to be running here on the 16th. That’s the next big show, uh, there August 16th. Um, check them out on YouTube. Uh, get to kind of set the table as you will be on the 16th. It’ll be S versus Judias for the championship. Todd Ston and Jaden Bain. Um, you know, I didn’t get into that a lot. Jaden Bain had, you know, just cut a promo, you know, cut a he just got out there in the ring and basically explained to Todd his issues were that Todd was supposed to look after him. Todd was supposed to take care of him and he just has not done that. Um, and of course Todd went on to explain to Jaden Bain, all of your all of your wounds are self-inflicted. Don’t blame other people. and he’s going to give him another major lesson like I said at the next show August the 16th. That of course, you know, like I said, there’s only a handful of shows that run this past week. Um, lots of cool, really loaded stuff, but that leads us into the big question of who won the week. Um, and look, with all due respect to everything that we talked about on these shows, um, I gotta go back and I got, we just have to tip our caps to folks to squared circle action. Huge show right there in that 200 range that we talked about on the crowd. Massive payoff to the story that’s been building for months and months and months. Kudos to them for sticking to their guns, running the story, you know, just absolutely setting the chess pieces on the board, piece after piece after piece, move after move, uh, to have a successful night like that, I think is a huge win. And you would be hardressed to take a win away from squared circle action, you know, for the week because they just did. I mean again I I I know it’s you know hey it’s you cannot give enough due to the team that up there and on the other hand you can’t to Jonathan Felner for pulling it off and we get back SCA as those three letters and squared circle action is the promotion name moving forward obviously now it’s time man as we hit the gas as we trying to turn the corner we’re going to hit the road and we are going to make the drives making the drives. guys, where we look ahead, you know, to all of the shows coming this coming up weekend. Um, pretty stacked. I mean, we talked about it. How about this, folks? We got Thursday shows. Yeah, two of them. Two Thursday shows. Um, first and foremost, big huge TV taping there in Canton. uh as one fall is going to move into the action building and they are going to have their first TV taping. Big announcements coming about that. What’s a TV taping? Where’s it going to go? Where’s it going to air? That is for them to announce and them to put out there. Uh but they’re going to deliver right out of the gate as they have already announced. Elilia Drago will be getting his rematch for that one fall wrestling championship as he will take on Brady Booker the champion. And so obviously, you know, go big right out of the gate. And by the way, part two of that go big. Jay Lethal is going to be in the house Thursday again right up the road at Canton, Georgia at the action building for TV taping. Uh I’m crossing my fingers. I’m hoping I can make that show. Um, even if I’m a little bit late, I’ve got some work stuff that I got to wrap up first, so hopefully I can make it for that one. Bullpin Pro Wrestling is also running uh in Weed, Alabama on Thursday. Um, they’ve got JT Paradox versus Zack Buchanan, Xavier Cross and Christian Taylor, Ryan Wendell, Dante Diamond, BK Bennett versus Trey Jordan, and Shawn Nelson versus Victor Thorne. And uh one of the things I was told is like some of these Thursday shows are going to be very very uh youth driven uh very you know like but but then you know the the crazy thing about bullpen the youth is kind of at the top. Your JT Paradox he’s the champion. Xavier Cross absolute monster. Zack Buchanan speaks for itself. Everybody knows, look, whether you like his behaviors, his attitude, whatever, uh how he treats his dad, that’s a whole kind of different argument, but he is a stud athlete, and you can’t take that away from him. And of course, we say same thing with Christian Taylor, huge future for that young man. And then, of course, you know, Dante Diamond, Ryan Wendell, and so forth and so on. Uh bullpin pro wrestling, we do Alabama. Remember, be careful when you look at that bell time. A lot of people get kind of thrown off. It’s kind of right across the Alabama line. That is central time. So, make sure if you’re going to try to travel that when you’re uh counting for that as well. Friday, we jump up to Canton, Georgia again. That’s right, folks. Canton, Georgia at the Action Building, you can get backtoback nights. You can go see a free show on Thursday and then go on Friday to Southern Honor Wrestling up in Canton. And uh you know, bell time is eight o’clock on the Fridays. Rumble Jack hands down without question. Look, it’s it’s just it is what it is. It’s it’s it’s one of my it’s one of my favorite shows of the summer, favorite shows of the year for that matter. Royal Rumble’s my favorite WWE. So, and it’s kind of very similar in that fact. Uh it’s just the the surprises and the you know the unpredictability of it all. It just that’s kind of what I love so much about it. Um and you know it’s not the only thing by the way. Paul Walterhauser will take on Ziki Dice. Alexander Lev is going to get a shot, take his old running buddy Grayson Pierce. Uh, and then the Southern Honor Wrestling Championship will be on the line as Joe Black defends against CTS and Alex Kane. And if you don’t think those three dudes are going to just put an absolute just I mean clinic on, but it is going to be hard. Listen, whoever wins this match is going to pay uh because there’s going to be a lot of physical punishment distributed in this match. Uh, but back to the Rumble Jack. I mean, we, you know, it’s a who’s who list. I, you know, there’s going to be guys, I’m sure, that are on TV that you’re going to see. Um, it’s it’s crazy. Even the Jake the Snake Legacy Champion is going to be in this match, Bryce Cannon. Um, and we have, uh, since kind of come out and figured out that over the past years, that’s a very good launching point of Carly Bravo. He kind of broke the mold. Everybody just assumed you’re always going to challenge for the Southern Honor Championship, but last year him and uh Sha Dean went for the tag team championships in that, you know, with that win. Uh so you never kind of know what you and that’s Southern Honor at its best. You kind of really never know what’s going to happen and that’s why you want to be there early and get your tickets for this year’s Rumble Jack. Uh Larado Pro is going to be in America’s Georgia. Um, they’ve kind of announced like no real major card announced. They’ve just kind of got, you know, obviously we know the Good Brothers will be there, Laser, Dax, Anthony, Marv, many, many more. That bell time is, it’s an unusual bail time. Bell time says 6:30 p.m. on the poster if that’s correct. So, make sure you’re giving them a follow because you want to make sure you get there on time because a lot of shows on the Fridays, those are just different times. Uh, Gainesville, Georgia, OneFall Wrestling comes back. Listen, the new champions will be there and everybody’s gonna rush out. Everybody’s gonna want to get those tickets. But I’m telling you, the last time they were there, literally had to turn people away. Fire marshall said they hit the limit. Couldn’t let any more people in. So go get your tickets at 1fwlive.com. get them ahead of time because it literally that building may sell out again and you do not want to miss it as they bring the new champions up to that area for the first time. SCA again, that’s right, folks. Squared Circle action is back. They are back at the Roy Dome. Bell Time is 8 o’clock. Uh what’s going to happen with Rick Paige? He’s the new Friday night champion. Believe it or not, folks, I I look, I thought it was a typo when I saw it, but it clearly was true. Rick Paige somehow is the Friday Night Champion. What’s next for him? Look, he he he may have won. Now he’s got to he’s got to keep that. That’s going to be I think his ultimate challenge. Uh but then the real news is what else which is what else is going to be just groundbreakingly shaken up with the return to power of Jonathan Felner and SCA and SCA all finally back. You know get the ship writed. Um look, they may have the company back, but that doesn’t mean they’re not going to have problems with you, you know, with the with those other guys. So, that’s what we got to sit back and see who and what happens now as we move past Apocalypse Pro Wrestling and the return of Squared Circle action. Viral Pro is going to be on Saturday as we turn the corner from Friday. It’s a loaded card. Listen, I Viral running by monthly just seems like what they do is they just put their foot on the gas for every show. There’s it’s the cards are just stacked, loaded names, and I I’m going to go through it and kind of give you some of the things. Drew Hood will defend the viral pro championship against Gustavo, Shawn Legacy, and Cedric Alexander. Um, that’s a TV match where, you know, that’s that is 100% without question, you know, a t something we would expect that we would be watching on cable or streaming somewhere. Uh, Sean Legacy, etc. It’s probably it could potentially be the probably the best match you’re going to see all year. So, make sure you go out and check that match. That match alone is worth the price of admission. Billy Brash will defend the Outbreak Championship against Hunter James. Um, Hunter James has been down there and he’s been kind of slowly climbing the pecking order there and it would not shock me in the least if Hunter James captures more gold. Um, you know, under his that’s just me. Eric Demia versus Mila Johnson for the women’s championship. Brian Idol, he is your NWA television champion. Will defend that title against the Zuka King. Uh, we’re starting to see more and more of this viral bringing in NWA talents. Um, as well as because the country gentlemen are going to be coming in and they’re going to be challenging the superstars for the Viral Pro Tag Team Championships. Um, gota proud of those guys. Look, I get it. They’re not always the they’re not always the nicest guys either, but you got to be proud of the superstars. A very young team, uh, and they’ve starting to kind of hit the road a little more and capturing tag team championships, especially at a major player like Viral. That’s a big feather in their cap. John Skyler will take on Josh Magnum as his feud just kind of continues to grow and grow and build. Um, we’ll see where this thing progresses out. And in Cash for the Gold, a 10-man rumble where the winner gets a gets $10,000. Who knows who all is in this thing, man. And uh, but that again, it goes to show you when we just r rattled off that card. Viral Pro makes the case every couple months when they run. They they they are relentlessly making a case that they’re one of the best promotions in the state. And uh you would find that it would be very hard to argue against that. Saturday over in Forcy, Georgia, Wrestle America, bell time is 700 PM. Uh, Wrestle America probably one of the I don’t know that I would call maybe maybe they’re mo when we talk about underrated underappreciated maybe um they just need more um focus on them and attention on them because I think without question some of the story I mean when you talk about KJ Impala he is their Wrestle America champion defending against the warden good young you know face of of a company. Oh, by the way, Bryce Cannon, he is your Liberty Champion. He will be defending that title against Michael the Flying Fro Walker, who’s had an interesting couple weeks to say the least. Could be a huge huge threat. And by the way, this couple locations these two are going to face each other. Uh so I would be it’s really interesting to see what potentially happens there. Uh they also have the big greed or glory rumble where the winner can choose either they they can take $5,000 or they can choose a title shot. And so far some of the names that have kind of been thrown in there, Luca Daniels, Jacob Johnson, Dominic Stucky, CT Keys, Parker Lee, Michael Stevens, Fry Daddy, and I got more. But as on the tapped in show, if you listen to that episode, Sinharo threw his his little he threw his name in the, you know, in the mix. So S’s talking about maybe going for a double header win in Battle Royals. If he can win the Rumble Jack and he can win the Greeter Glory Rumble, he could actually earn two title shots, which would be pretty interesting. And also Hyena Harris, she’s making the trip down to Wrestle America. So I’m eager to see who she picks, you know, who she has in uh she’s in action with. Um I again arguably I think Hyena Hera one of the better women right now across the state. Uh so I wish more places had her on their books. Um and some of them I’ve talked to. Uh absolutely without question. I think she is a I listen I thought she was going to win the one fall championship. I had her as a potential winner for that uh tournament that you know kind of ended up at summer stage. Uh Bullpin Pro Wrestling Villa Ricka Georgia. This is kind of their big home. This is kind of where their their biggest home feels like they uh where they run. And when uh they return to their big ma their big home, they got a big match to headline this thing. Judas, he is your Bull of the Woods champion and he’s going to take on Jackson Slade. Um, look, one thing Bull Buchanan, um, he gets is, uh, you know, hos fights, big man fights, you know, all that kind of stuff. That’s, you know, he it seems like right up his alley. And this match, uh, Judas is going to have his hands full. But, but Judas is one bad man. Let’s leave it at that. Judas is one bad man. Uh, Lethal Gains will take on the Wonder Boys for the Tag Team Championships. BK Bennett and Dante Diamond will take on Trey Jordan and Ryan Wendell. Cody Windham, Xavier Cross, and Zack Buchanan in an absolute stack triple threat. Um, with, you know, that’s that should be outstanding. Uh, Jacob Ashworth and Shawn Nelson, also known as the Unstoppable Outlaws, will take on Shane Nolles and Robinis. And as we all are fully aware, Shane Nolles is a root of a lot of the problems there in bullpen pro wrestling. So hopefully Shawn Nelson and Jacob Ashworth have something they can say about that. Uh Victor Thorne uh will take on Archer. That is your bullpin pro wrestling and Villa Ricka. Uh it’s bell time again 7:30 p.m. Uh they love the 7:30 p.m. This one I talked about the one in we to we is a central time. This one is not. This is in Villa Raa, Georgia. So again, make sure you’re kind of up to speed on that kind of thing. Larry Auto Pro Wrestling, that is in Dublin. They are doing the hardcore tournament where it will feature the Good Brothers, Ziki Dice, Laser, Rob Killjoy, Eddie Honcho, many, many more. Um, and uh, if it’s a hardcore tournament, money’s got to go on Zickie Dice. That’s all I can tell you. Uh, I’m not real sure why. gut reaction is when I saw a hardcore cup tournament, Zicky Dice was the man. Uh, also on Saturday, Belltime 7 PM up in Cornelia, Georgia. OSWA returns. Uh, Old School Wrestling Alliance. That is uh right there up in Cornelia. Like I said, Caleb Crocker, he is your corporate champion. He will ch be challenged by Dilva. huge opportunity for Dilva to finally get an opportunity for, you know, this title and I think could probably Dilva’s always looking to make a point. He’s always looking to make an impact and he’s always looking for championships. Here’s a great opportunity. And um if I were if I were picking this man, I might actually go I might take, you know, the Silva and say he’s it’s it’s his time is now. Marcus Adams will defend the OSWA Ultimate Championship against TJ Trigger. Um, the young man is kind of kind of I just think Marcus Adams right now is on a roll there at OSWA. Uh, and I think TJ Trigger, you know, he’s got a lot of things going on and he may be a little preoccupied and Marcus Adams may be picking up a, you know, another successful title defense over TJ Trigger. Jamie Holmes versus Austin Thorne. Again, that is OSWA. that is in Cornelia and that is at a like I said a 700 p.m. Bell time on Sunday. Kraken Pro Wrestling, Tiffan, Georgia. Bell Times 400 p.m. on a Sunday. It is a big huge massive fan appreciation show as they move into their new venue. It’s a m It’s much bigger venue, holds a lot more people. So, if you’re in the Tiffan area, get your tickets. Tickets are moving really well. So, let’s pack this place out. Let’s fill it up. Let’s make it, you know, let’s make this new building, you know, become a very much a successful home for Kraken Pro Wrestling. Uh, and kind of to to celebrate, uh, maybe is the right word I’m looking for. To celebrate it, they are going to do something very unique where lucky fans are going to get the choice to draw the names of the matches for the night. So, there’s not a whole lot like, hey, this is what’s going to happen because right now we don’t know. And you know, I like the Rumble Jack because of unpredictableness. I think this one kind of might take the cake here when we talk about unpredictables. Don’t know who’s going to be wrestling. You kind of know who the roster is, so you kind of know those guys are going to be there. But who’s facing who and all that kind of stuff, we do not know. Um, but there’s look, lots of things going on like, hey, we at the last show, we saw the left hand path debut uh to, you know, to support and back up Trevor Aon against Justin Case and the business. Uh we saw the issues clearly with Noir and the All-Star special are going they’re not even close to being over this thing, you know. Uh but what happens you know if something unique like they get crossed over in teams? I don’t know. It’s it’s you know and so there’s one guy from each team on both sides of the fence. You just you don’t know. Um but look, we’re really happy Kraken Pro Wrestling is picking up a lot of steam. They got a lot of buzz behind them right now and that’s why they wanted to give back to you, the fans, at a fan appreciation show as they move the gun into that new building. Uh, make sure you’re giving them a follow on social media. It’s got like a video so you can see the new venue, all the announcements they’ve been making here over the last few weeks. Kraken Pro Wrestling, Tiffan, Georgia. Uh, also on Saturday, 12 gauge uh, Pro Wrestling’s running up in Rome. Uh, you got some people making debuts. Brandon Garvin, DRP, Space Cowboys, Zack Buchanan, AJ Black. Um, but you also have Hakee Young, Chad Skywalker making a return. If you listen, if you haven’t been keeping up with Chad Skywalker, you should. Uh, he’s he’s really this agent 003, you know, that he’s kind of this agent, this secret agent thing he’s got going. Super intriguing. And, uh, look, he’s always been a guy we always knew he could work. and now he’s starting, you know, the the character starting to click. So, I’d love to see Chad Skywalker more booked more across the state. Uh, but also Lethal Gains, it is their first time that they’re going to be in action there at 12 gauge. Uh, so absolutely check them out up in Rome, Georgia. So look, you got all across the state, whether it’s, you know, Augusta, it’s Rome, it’s Tiffan, it’s Cornelia, it’s Dublin, Villa Ricka, for Scythe, you know, like I said, Royston, it doesn’t matter. You’ve got wrestling this weekend. There’s not a WWE, so there’s nothing that you got to, you know, be like, oh, there’s no excuses. Go out, man, and support indie wrestling, you know, as best as you can. And the best way to do that is, hey, we get it, you know, hey, I’m listening to the Tapped In Show. It’s an indie podcast or I’m listening to the spotlight and trying to make you need to listen to the spotlight because we’re are trying to tell you where to go and what to see close by to you. We understand it. Try you know, we’re trying to make it close by to you and uh you know, buy a ticket and support these shows. That’s the best way to support indie wrestling. And uh if you do buy that ticket and you do kind of settle into your seats and you’re looking around and you might see my, you might see me, you never know. And just maybe we’ll see you at the matches. [Music] [Applause]
