There has been a lot of complaints about XPW’s show last Saturday. A lot of fans have wanted more technical matches, yet when XPW put on a show with almost all technical matches everyone complained. Why?
Well, I’ll tell you why. There is a huge difference between technical wrestling and “garbage” wrestling. I am one of the people that thinks XPW needs to mix it up a bit to attract a larger audience. But heres the problem, XPW does not have the talent to pull off good technical matches on a regular basis.
You have to get the technical matches over with the fans. You can’t do that putting on bad matches. There are a few wrestlers in XPW who do a good job at technical wrestling, but most of the roster can not. And Bad technical matches are just that, bad.
With a deathmatch, even if the match is bad, there will be a few crazy spots that will entertain the XPW fans. I mean no matter how bad a deathmatch is if you are a fan of insane bumps, you will more than likely see one. But what redeeming qualities does bad technical have?
If XPW wants to get technical matches over, they need to bring in guys who can do that. Bring in more guys like Konnan who can have good matches with the wrestlers on the roster who can do technical like Kaos and D.
This isn’t intended as a bash on any of XPW’s wrestlers. Most have a speciality, and that specialty is hardcore.
On the message board a few weeks ago Paul T. compared wrestling to music. Just as there are different styles of music, there are different styles of wrestling. I don’t think N’Sync should try deathmetal, and I don’t think most of XPW’s current roster should be doing technical wrestling.

Just a little note about the WCWA card above. TNT is one of the most under rated guys in SoCal. He is a heat machine. The only wrestlers around that can get heat like he can is Adam Pearce and Matt Sinister. It will be good to see him in action again.

We are going to come up with a new design for the SoCal UNCENSORED t-shirts. The old ones will still be available for a limited time only. Buy now.

This is going to be a pretty big weekend in SoCal with MPW and Rev Pro both running on Saturday. Also WPW will be running on Sunday as normal at the Anaheim Indoor Marketplace.
The match everyone is talking about for MPW is of course Jardi Frantz vs. Super Dragon. The match that could steal the show however is B-Boy vs. Ricky Reyes. Both wrestlers are on a hot streak of good matches right now and they should mesh well together.
