So I've heard decent things about it. More southern based, less flip flop crap, less smug than RoH. I looked over some of the shows and saw they do use some of the southern based talents that I enjoy like Sal Rinauro, Seth Delay and Kory Chavis. So is it actually really different or is it really just the same RoH stuff that I don't like with some slightly different wrappings? |

I've only seen the first two shows (I have two more that I've yet to sit down and watch) but they both came across as ROH in a different wrapper. A lot of the same stars, a few guys who probably wouldn't cut it in ROH, and smaller crowds. |

I would say that it's slightly different. The ROH guys are still ROH guys, and FIP houses guys that aren't quite ready for the ROH roster yet. |

Sounds like I'll put it in the avoid category then. |

The first two shows are quite a bit of fun. There is mayb 15 people in the audience for Emergence Night 1 (they commentators keep reminding us that the show was held during a hurricane). There were more people at Night 2, and the hurricane excuse is still in play, even though there is a lengthy brawl outside of the building. I found Night 2 to be tremendous fun, especially the escalating mischief that CM Punk pulls. |

I'm just a disgruntled fan right now because the fed I really like is NWA Virginia and they stopped doing their net show and haven't released shit on DVD. |

I've seen the first two FIP shows, that Rowe mentioned and I hated them. Even when I was into ROH hardcore, I still hated both of them. |

Really? Night 2 was fun and actually had some good wrestling on it. What did you hate about it exactly? I mean, I know those shows aren't wonderful or anything, I'm just not sure if "hate" would be warranted. |

Shit, it's been awhile since I've seen them. I just remember the cards being balanced pretty poorly and the pace of the shows were terrible. But to be fair, I haven't seen any FIP since. |

It doesn't surprise me that the pacing would be bad. I've rarely found RoH shows to have a good pacing as far as card placement goes. But I find that to be a very common problem with the current independent scene. Everyone tries to have a ***** match and it makes it so you don't get any breathers during the shows. |

The idea seems to be a more family based, Southern style version of ROH. It's quite a bit of fun for me, but then again I'm real big on ROH. They have a tendency of trying shit out in FIP before bringing it to ROH. |

Holy shit. Long time no post man. I might try it in the future but I do like NWA Anarchy quite a bit and might just stick with their weekly net show for the time being. |

Yea, I'm trying to come back round here more often. You guys are a lovable bunch of blokes. Espectially you, with you're hating of my favorite fed in a way that doesn't make me hate you. By the way, I used to keep up with Anarchy. Who's lighting it up over there now? I haven't seen it since the days of the Lost Boys. |

Dan Wilson, the old announcer went heel during the changeover from Wildside and formed the Devil's Rejects. This group is made up of Tank, Iceberg, Shawn Tempers and a few newer guys. So they're basically a group everyone hates. They were doing some awesome television over the summer as the feuds were excellent and the show was highly focused. Quite a few new guys on the show but the top guys currently are Chad Parham, Jeremy V, Ace Rockwell, Jeff Lewis and Slim J. Slim J has also changed up his style quite a bit. He's a little more well rounded and not a total spot monkey now. They've played it up as him suffering a back injury and having to employ a more grounded style. EDIT: Dan Wilson is an awesome heel manager BTW. |

The Devil's Rejects is an awesome name lifted from an awesome movie. Slim J with more than just high flying sounds delicious to me. Maybe I should get back up on that. |
