>>19425664Thanks for the update.
>>19425533>NWA Exodus Pro Journ3yHoly shit lmfao
>>19425867They basically just put the 3 in the place of the "e" in Journey. They've held similar shows but they were just called Journey I and Journey II.
Show will be starting in a few minutes.
>>19425875That's still fucking retarded kek. Almost as bad a name as Full Queer
OH HELL YEAH got back home just in time
i pronounce it journ three eeee
>>19426015well this is EC3's promotion. let's face it, he's not good at coming up with names but he has proven to be a solid promoter and trainer.
>>19426049Well it's lasted far longer than Control Your Narrative so he's doing something right.
>>19426062yeah and even with CYN, there was real potential there. he had a unique concept and even a little bit of buzz but it just didn't work out because too much politics. with ExPro, he's kept the politics out of it and focused more on what matters.
the groovy grizzly is over with me brother
best of the new territories right here
Very short match but it's two-on-one now.
>>19425554nice to see matt cross getting so much work lately, he's always a treat
well great VNDL48's Christian Napier vs. Ashton Day now.
>>19426253I wonder why Cross didn't end up in AEW. He worked the dark match or the zero match or whatever at that first All In before the company launched so he must be close to the Bucks and/or the others.
coolest nigga
>>19426315this whole promotion is really big on the greek/roman aesthetic, their title belts actually look really good imo. christiano argento is the one who went the furthest with that aesthetic and just went full julius caesar lol.
M-Dogg vs. Greene time.
>>19426299that's a good question, Cross is more than good enough to get into any company, but he seems like one of those guys who prefers to stay indie, which I respect. guys like that do it for the love of the game,
>>19426340 I appreciate theatrics and going on all in on aesthetics. Might have to check more of it out later, didn't get the Roman vibes from clips like a month ago.
here's a video that gives a good look at expro's title beltshttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SoVddwIFlec
>>19426376well their entranceway is literally just a big greek delta letter, which was clearly inspired by the spartan shield, among other things. but yeah you should check it out when you have time, just be aware that you're watching a developmental territory so certain people will be shitters, This territory seems to have very few shitters thankfully, which is why I think EC3 must be a good trainer.
cross and greene burning it down by god
Anthony Greene really beat a backyard wrestling and deathmatch legend.
>>19426474yeah that surprised me, but I guess Cross wanted to help put the rookie over. that Greene guy was pretty good, I admit.
>>19426534Yeah. Seems like he's had a bit of experience before. Most notably in Pro Wrestling NOAH and GCW but he has room for improvement.
>>19426570for sure, I did see him getting a little sloppy at a couple spots, but still a lot of potential there. I like that he has his own theme song and all but he needs a nickname or something. maybe rename him as Amazing A.G. or something like that.
damn this guy doing the steiner math gimmick but it actually makes sense
lol this is indeed a convoluted stipulation, only an autistic motherfucker like EC3 could come up with some shit like this. I like it though, it's creative.
Looks like this is a Royal Rumble-style match.
HOLY SHIT! Jermaine Marbury in the match with a basketball mascot! KEK!
this baretta kid is dimes, serious display of skill despite being in there with a bunch of mostly shitters. good promo too.
Exodus Women's Championship time.
i would like to see Tiffany Nieves breastses
i can see why all those other guys jobbed to baretta because most of them were terrible. was a fun little gimmick match i guess.
The Holy Grail (Pretty Boy Smooth and Pastor C-Lo) vs. Carson Drake and The Slimeballz next
alright now we're getting to something good. we got pastor C-Lo and Pretty Boy Smooth against Carson Drake and the SLIMEBALLZ.
>>19427265is it me or was baretta dealing out some stiff shots in that match? one in particular looked really really stiff.
now THIS is s good match, enjoying this much more.
Pretty good match. Bit of interference but EC3's Holy Grail wins it.
and here we got a fine promo from argento, straight up julius caesar shit lol
Dante Casanova (c) vs. Richard Holliday for the NWA Midwest Championship is the main event of the night.
the promos and storytelling have been much better on this one, as opposed to the last expro show i saw which was mostly just matches. makes a huge difference in the watchability factor.
>>19427778you'll like Dante, he's probably the best this territory has.
these guys need a weekly show or at least a set monthly show
OH SHIT carson drake cashes in the briefcase and makes it a 3-way!
Richard Holliday pulling out some evil genius shit, pulling off a double-double cross and taking the midwest title. good shit. match was a little slow at first but great finish.
