The TNA-WWE Monday night war was the trending topic on Twitter last night. Was it worth the hype? Was it worth anything at all? I didn’t watch WWE because I stopped watching it after Cena-Orton 110. It is, well… boring and predictable; lackluster fop. The exciting news was that TNA acqu »»
Welcome to another Week in the Indies and this I guess I should call the “Damn, this year is going too fast..†edition. But, alas, I won’t. Why bother telling you what you know already? It has been a crazy year in the world of professional wrestling. Captain Lou passing, Hogan goi »»
I don’t normally do this but I have just ONE quote I would like to share with everyone. It comes to us from that great show, “Queer Eye for the Straight Guyâ€. HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooo… I’m back. Okies. It has been TWO »»
As the rabbit from Alice in Wonderland said to Alice; “I’m late, I’m late..†and then he jumped in front of traffic and, well.. he’s on my plate. Yummy. This is THIS week's “This Week in Indies†and I, Hack Johnson, will be serving as your toastmaster thi »»
It has been yet another slow week on the indie wrestling scene. I find myself awaiting the FUBAR situation that is going to be the WWE’s handling of two of ROH’s top guys. It is great that McGuinness and Danielson are getting into the WWE but at what expense? I hope all goes well. C »»
This was a huge week on the indy wrestling scene! ROH’s Danielson following in Punk’s footsteps, CZW has been sold, and a wrestler suffers serious injury. I’ll try to touch on as many as I can but it was hopping all across the US this past week. We had a debut and some old frien »»
This week in the indies has been pretty slow. Be it the economy or lack of decent storylines I don’t know but there isn’t much to report! I’ll cover what I can and hopefully it will be enough to sustain your agape mouths filled with saliva drooling for the next tasty wrestling m »»
You know – I love writing these run downs while listening to a variety of music. Right now I’m listening to old school Metallica; Harvester of Sorrow. Not done by Metallica but by punk band Link 80. And, let me tell you, they masterfully incorporate trumpets into the arrangement! Aweso »»
Welcome to another installment of This Week in Indies. I am your host for this roller coaster ride of terror and heart stopping illusions, Hack Johnson. This is not my real – that is to protect me while I am in hiding. This is, however, a special Halloween edition. Only because this is the ev »»
I’m sorry – late again.. crunch time to get the magazine designed and finished, printed, and shipped to Florida.. ordering banners, business cards, making DVDs for the digital print, working with my own indie promotion for our next show, and putting up with a dead cell phone and smoosh »»
My first thought writing this out today is, “Oh crap! It’s late!†but then I thought to myself.. ‘eh.. you slathering horde of wrestling zombies will wait a bit for your indie news. It’s all good though because this has been a good week with CHIKARA and ROH doing »»
You know a lot of people wonder about us indie wrestling fans and especially those of us that write for Pulse or other online avenues. If you have ever been to an indie show (you’re reading this so I’m assuming you have) you know the type of people they attract – scary, sca »»
Before I get started this week let me just say.. I am older than the other “Mike Johnson†over at PWI so he stole my name and I’m coming to get it back. Not because I care but because I hate using “Michael†to avoid confusion.. no worries, mate.. I’ll mark out f »»
