I watched the last MCW show on Vimeo tonight. I never go back and watch old shows so, much as I like Fite credits if I'd gone that way, the 72-hour rental option on vimeo for 6 bucks is much better for me. Yeah, the show is 3 weeks old, but if that's how you have to watch it, 6 bucks is very reasonable.
I don't think MCW is necessarily the "cool" show in Melbourne any more. In fact I think it's the one that mired in political bullshit and has lost a shit ton of talent cos MCW didn't want it's wrestlers working elsewhere in Melbourne (which is just so short sighted and dumb. You want them to get work, you want them to get experience, and I doubt the same people going to Thornbury are the same ones going out to Melton or Ferntree Gully) - thus I think it's going to be relying heavily on it's local Thornbury audience and it's family audience, cos DMDU and Renegades are definitely becoming the cool promotions.
But with all that said, **** me if MCW don't still put on awesome shows. They're never as good on screen as they are live, but there were a couple of really fun matches on this show. It's absolutely worth $6 if you're curious to watch some Melbourne wrestling.
(Slex vs one of the Parea has been announced for next month, with Slex to leave MCW if he loses. Now, I don't expect Slex to be losing to a tag team specialist, but **** me that stipulation makes you nervous given what's happened to MCW post-pandemic, and given that Rocky is very much an old school cheater heel who could cost Slex the match.)
By way of gossip, I heard that Collingwood wasn't Renegades first choice, but they had a building, MCW warned off the building, and Renegades went "**** you" and found something much closer to Thornbury than the original location was.
