Friday Night Party Thread – August 3, 2018

Sorry for forgetting something last night. Wednesday into Thursday was a very long shift for me — I work in the medical profession — and when I got home, I figured I’d nap around 3PM until 7, when I was due to post this. I woke up at 10. Yup.

But enough about me. Here’s your weekend show roundup!

• Super Viernes from CMLL airs at 9:30 ET on Claro (which can be found online), and I bring it up because it’s the 40th anniversary for Negro Casas. To celebrate, there’s a huge trios main event of Mark and Jay Briscoe teaming with Rush against Penta, Fenix, and LA Park.
• Wrestling Revolver in Dayton, OH, is hosting the Catalina Wrestling Mixer Volume 2. This time around, it features an 8-team, 1-night wrestling tournament with teams including The Rascalz, Besties in the World, OI4K, and LAX.
• If you’re in Chattanooga, you’ve heard of the Scenic City Invitational, just about to kick off. It’s a huge 16-man weekend tournament (first round tonight, second round and 4-way final tomorrow night) and this year’s field has Jake Parnell, Cain Justice, Pierre Carl Ouellet, Fred Yehi, Mance Warner, 2 Cold Scorpio, Kerry Awful of the Carnies, Nick Gage, Curt Stallion, and more. Plus, tomorrow afternoon will have a 9-man Triple THreat tournament called the Futures Showcase.
• AAW will be in LaSalle, Illinois for Jawbreaker tomorrow night. ACH defends the AAW Championship agianst Jeff Cobb in the main event, with Eddie Kingston vs. MVP on the undercard.
• NEW Wrestling goes Under The Stars for an outdoor show in Wappinger Falls, New York. Although the nominal main event is Jack Swagger defending the NEW title against Billy Gunn of all people, the highlight is Rey Mysterio facing Elite whipping boy Flip Gordon.
• Meanwhile, in Germany, WXW is running their Shortcut to the Top Rumble match tomorrow evening. In addition, Absolute Andy challenges Ilja Dragunov for the WXW championship.
• PROGRESS is touring the US East Coast — Philadelphia tomorrow, Boston on Sunday, and New York on Tuesday. Over the course of the tour, there will be a round-robin challenge featuring the Grizzled Young Veterans, CCK, and LAX. Philadelphia will also see an ECW Rules match between Jimmy Havoc and Rickey Shane Page. Boston features women’s action with Jordynne Grace against Solo Darling. And New York has a six-man throwdown of British Strong Style against Brody King, Eddie Kingston, and Jimmy Havoc.
• RevPro is back at The Cockpit in London on Sunday. Not much has been announced, but the highlight as of now is an Australian youth wrestling showcase of Adam Brooks against Jonah Rock.
• When the Scenic City Invitational ends, everyone heads to Nashville on Sunday for Southern Underground Pro’s Not Problematic. All three Carnies are in singles action, Midwestern team No New Friends face Marko Stunt and Cabana Man Dan, and AJ Gray and Curt Stallion main event in an I Quit match.

Enjoy the weekend, everyone!
