A few of the nerds are heading to the Camden Ballroom tonight for the latest installment of PROGRESS. The promotion has put on some super shows these past few months and we are sure that will continue tonight!
Head to our BRAND NEW instagram page for live video from the nerds!
Here's our roundtable discussion on the FIVE big talking points...
1. HOW ARE WE FEELING ABOUT MONDAY NIGHT GRAPS?
PETE - Pretty good but I'm a student so I have the luxury. This show did not sell out quick (if at all!) which is crazy, remember when they used to sell out in a minute? I can't say I'm super excited for the card but I imagine I will get caught up in the moment.
DOM - Today is Sunday so currently I’m too preoccupied with missing my Sunday afternoon Progress to be excited for Monday night graps. But by tomorrow after work I’ll be absolutely buzzing!
JAMES - I'm excited. I love live shows and I really like midweek graps. Also Jordan Devlin is on the show.
MAT - Brilliant. there is something so taboo about getting steamed on a Monday and costing someone else money on a Tuesday at work.
ROSS - No one likes Mondays. What a great way to solve that problem. Having just watched the excellent chapter from Manchester, I am hyped to make my Ballroom return, see my mates and enjoy the midweek graps.
2. WHO DO YOU THINK WILL ANSWER THE TRENT OPEN CHALLENGE?
PETE - I'll buy Kyle Fletcher the necessary Katsu Curry to break 205 if he needs it. (Not a valid contract!) Somehow Aussie Open should win all the belts.
DOM - I’ve got absolutely no idea. What if it was Escaping the Midcard? (Both T.K. and Mambo).
JAMES - I will continue to answer Big T until The OJMO is over 205. Then I'll change my answer.
MAT - Probably Lucinda Keilor if her form continues over London chapters.
ROSS - I had a sneaky feeling we were getting Masato Tanaka, but I've seen him on socials in Japan, so I'm sticking with my last pick of PCO. Main event shit.
3. WHAT MATCH ARE YOU MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO?
PETE - Banks vs Starr probably. I haven't seen them face each other ever although it feels like a match I've seen already at RevPro and maybe somewhere else. But it should be a good match! Still gonna boo you Trav!
DOM - Havoc vs. Parker. The best performers from the last 2 years of CZW’s Tournament of Death facing each other with a little bit of a build. I’m not too naive I think this is probably just a single chapter in a bigger story and the best matches between these 2 will be yet to come. But I’m excited to watch the story unfold.
JAMES - Devlin v Andrews. Any time I get to see Devlin is a bonus and Andrews is always great and means I'll get to hear Dom say 'You don't suplex Andrews'.
MAT - The girls tag team. I am absolutely buzzing for this Jinny & Laura partnership and more buzzed to cheer Nina and Morgan.
ROSS - Banks v Starr. I've missed Travis a lot during his time away and after the events of Manchester, this has a build and Trav should be a heat magnet like always.
4. WHO DO YOU THINK IS JOINING DREW PARKER'S NEW STABLE?
PETE - 'Featuring the cast of Freedoms Road, it's Drew Parker!'
DOM - I’ve got absolutely no idea. What if it was Escaping the Midcard? (Both T.K. and Mambo)
JAMES - Drew Parker will recruit Paul Parker, Scott Parker, Hadleigh Parkes and Parker from Thunderbirds to form The Parks...
MAT - David Arquette.
ROSS - Yeah, I see this being similar to The New Blood. Would be cool to see some more PROJO guys added to the roster.
5. LAST BUT NOT LEAST, ANY NEW CHANTS UP YOUR SLEEVES?
PETE - Is this Progress?
DOM - I don’t plan them. Inspiration will grab me in the moment.
JAMES - All Drew's people. So many people. They all go hand in hand. Hand in hand in their ....Parker life. Know what I mean... Also let's get 'She's what I go to shows for going for Millie. I can see Mike's thumb pointing down already!
MAT - Hannah had a mad blunder last show calling Jim “Tim”. Going to be a comic genius here, when people chant “Jim, Jim, Jim, Jim” I’m going to turn it on it’s head and chant “Tim, Tim, Tim, Tim, Tim”
ROSS - Something about bear hugs for Jordynne Grace? I'll spend today figuring it out. Get those thumbs ready, Mike.
