Scrub: Me and Steve have been thinking about doing a SoCal Roundtable discussion since May of this year. We just never got around to taking on this project due to conflicting schedules. Finally, all our schedules are in place (sorta), and we proudly bring to you our unrehearsed bastardized version of the SoCal UNCENSORED Roundtable. […]

Overexposure: What’s Killing the SoCal Scene
Recently, I’ve come to the conclusion that SoCal Indies are pretty incestuous. Maybe not as much as the South, or the newest videos available at Extreme Associates, but it’s pretty ridiculous to see so many of the same wrestlers in every single fed. Now first and for most, I am not trying to put down […]

This was once again supposed to be my column on rookies, but I’ll be holding that off for a little while now. August 2nd I put up the worst thing I have ever placed on SCU. That the Messiah had been attacked in his apartment, stabbed, and had his thumb cut off. Truly a terrible […]
Scrub’s View #22 – CZW Best of the Best 2 (6.8.02) Review
This was all pretty nuts. Who in their right mind would fly out to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to watch an Indy wrestling show? WHO?! Well, not me. Because I went to Philadelphia Pennsylvania for one of thee best Philly cheese steaks I’ve ever had. Well, that’s at least what I told my folks. I’d like to […]
Scrub’s View #10 – XPW Freefall Thoughts
As crazy as this sounds, I was actually looking forward to XPW Freefall. WTF?! Why you ask? I was looking forward to this show because I always look forward to hanging out with guys I only see at wrestling shows. And with the lack of shows running in SoCal lately, I was looking forward to […]
Scrub’s View #7 – MPW “Elements” Review
CarrieSCU put her foot on the ground and demanded that I give Steve a break and do an MPW review or else I’d get fired! What the boss wants, the boss gets. January 12 has finally arrived. This date was a date that was heavily anticipated by every single SoCal wrestling fan. January 12 was […]

As you may have seen elsewhere on this site Ground Zero Wrestling’s (GZW) debut show at the Grand Olympic was canceled. This shouldn’t really come as a surprise to a lot of people since the show was in question from the very beginning. The situation with this show is part of the overall problem in […]

I went to UPW’s Rough Cut the other night, and while it was a average show there is one thing I think UPW can really improve on. That is putting their title over. Samoa Joe is a good wrestler, and he has what I think is the longest current title reign in any of SoCal’s […]
I Don’t Have A “View”
Okay, so there haven’t been many shows going on lately. so I’m going to do something fun. Umm, I’m going to review each group in SoCal with both “pros“ and “cons“ listed. Keep in mind that this is purely based on personal opinion, and not that of SCU. Also another thing: I know shit about […]
Scrub’s View #2: ARSION INVASION!
“Japanese women workers can put a lot of men wrestlers to shame in the ring.” — Dynamite Kid Coming from the Dynamite Kid himself, you’d have to trust him if you were a wrestling fan. With ARSION being announced as the special attraction match at Revolution Pro’s Revolution J: Destiny, some SoCal fans are beyond […]
Steve’s View #23
“In our youth our hearts were touched with fire.” -Oliver Wendell Holmes, May 30th 1884 I find those words, written about the Civil War, just as fitting now as they were then. Our lives have forever been changed. Our World will never be the same. The images of Tuesday will never leave us, and forever […]
Jesus Christ!
I don’t know if I’m right on this one, but during these past 3 weeks, the biggest piece of news going around SoCal is the whole “Messiah thing“. For those who don’t know, Messiah was a staple in the XPW roster, and held two titles in his tenure there. In fact, when he left, he […]

I was hand picked by the “Voice” himself, Lonnie Hill to take a slot here at SCU. I did not ask or beg to be affiliated with the site. While I’m glad that I was asked, things would have been just fine if I stuck to posting on the boards. In fact, I will still […]
Steve’s View #22
A lot of people have said to me over the last few months “What does Lonnie do for the site? He never writes anything. You do all the work.” Let’s set the record straight. If there was no Lonnie, there would be no SCU. Lonnie is what brought people to the site. Lonnie was the […]
