AAW Day of Defiance 2014

Another fantastic show by AAW.  I'm really loving the product they are putting together.  

Steen/Jacobs/Hollister was s blast and the tag team ladder match was filled with tons of great ladder spots.  All in all check this show out if you're an indie wrestling fan, it showcases a lot of talent you probably enjoy.

AAW WINDY CITY CLASSIC IX!!

On Saturday evening (11/30/13) AAW put on its biggest show of the year at Berwyn Eagles, and Windy City Classic IX lived up to its hype.  The show was headlined by indie wrestling mega star "Mr Wrestling" Kevin Steen challenging dominant champion Shane Hollister for his strap in Steen's debut match for AAW.  Hollister proved to Steen the buzz surrounding "The New World Man" is legit, in a fantastic match between the two.

The whole rest of the card was stacked as well, featuring an incredibly exciting conclusion to the Allegiance Tag Tournament, along with ACH vs Matt Cage for the Heritage Championship, and tons more.  All in all another fantastic showing from Chicago's breakout promotion, it should be interesting to see what unfolds as the dust settles at One Twisted Christmas in late December.

Make sure to check out the full set HERE.

ACH vs Kyle Oreilly!!!!

Todays update is a match that has been making its rounds in the independent circuit and getting rave reviews.  I was lucky enough to catch these two in Berwyn, IL for AAW last month and the match is fantastic live as it looks on paper.

I won't waste a lot of space writing about this match because lets face it,  if you're an indie wrestling fan, you know who these two guys are and you know putting the two of them in a ring together is going to be nothing but magic.  They work flawlessly together and really tell a hell of a story.  This match is worth the acclaim its getting, so if you can see it anywhere (especially live)  take that opportunity.  This is a prime example of why the future of pro wrestling is so incredibly bright and exciting.

As always, photos from the full event can be seen HERE.

And thanks again for stopping by and taking a look.

SHANE HOLLISTER VS MICHAEL ELGIN FOR THE AAW HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION

I had the pleasure of shooting AAW again this past weekend for their Bound By Hate event, and this promotion is picking up some steam!  After last months Day of Defiance, AAW had some pretty large boots to fill and they were up to the task on Friday night at the Berwyn Eagles.

This weeks blog is the main event from that show pitting 'Unbreakable' Michael Elgin versus 'The New World Man' Shane Hollister, and holy shit was this a great match.  A lot of great comebacks by both competitors and many moments I was POSITIVE the match was over, only to be shocked by a kick out.  Everything about this match hit on all the points of just being fantastic to watch and really get involved in.  When this DVD comes out, this match alone is worth adding it to your collection.

As always the entire set of AAW: Bound By Hate photos is up HERE (including about 100 photos from this match alone)

Sorry for this missed week (if anyone is actually viewing/noticed), I've had a crazy busy week and still have WRESTLEPALOOZA II photos to get on this blog. Stay tuned!
