DEFY Doomsayer September 27, 2019 Washington Hall Seattle Since the debut of DEFY in 2017, they have brought in some of the greatest talent in the business. We’ve also had the pleasure of watching several talents go from being loved stars on the indie scene to becoming one of the few chosen for the stratosphere. We were so lucky to see Shane Strickland go from being our champion to one of the fresh new talents in the WWE. DEFY presents their Doomsayer event this coming Friday. Tonight, we say farewell to another talent we’ve seen go from a local talent…

Watching the tides and currents of the independent wrestling scene can be a fascinating pastime. Those of you who share this hobby have probably heard about a young man named Douglas James. He’s been on the scene for a couple of years now, however, it has been in the last few months his career has exploded. He’s been making regular appearances at some of the most highly regarded promotions on the west coast. DEFY and PCW Ultra are only two places he has been appearing with the regularity of late. In the last month, it was announced Mr. James signed…

Without A Cause EGO September 15th, 2019 Everett Washington What a fantastic lineup Without A Cause has put together for their fans. Some great visitors from out of town coming to face some of the best talent we have in our neck of the woods. WAC puts together some outstanding cards and this one is no exception. Despite the interference of Max Zaleski, no doubt one of the primary inspirations for the shows name (Ego), Taylor Bartle has outdone himself!

There once was a giant at DEFY, named Jack Stewart. He entered the ring wearing gear that made him look like a brick wall. He may not have chanted “Fee Fi Fo Fum,” but his presence spoke for him. Jack Stewart has affectionately been known as “Big Jack” by his fans. Few will forget his run as a member of the Cunningham’s, tagging with Carl Randers, also known as the Fantastic Dork. They were perhaps one of the preeminent tag teams in the region a couple of years ago. He was one of the biggest names on the local scene…

Sports Opera hasn’t been this good in a long time here in the Pacific Northwest as. Without a Cause presents Its Getting Hot in Here. Without A Cause has certainly done their part to prove we aren’t the black hole of Professional Wrestling anymore. While we still have a great deal of room to grow, it is such an incredible pleasure to have so many great promotions in our region and perhaps a few more popping up in the near future. It’s Getting Hot in Here is going to be a must-see show! Have a look for yourself… 10 Minute…

“At last…  My love has come along My lonely days are over… and life is like a song…” – Etta James When Etta James’ immortal classic blasts into the auditorium at Washington Hall, the entire audience bursts out in cheers! Randy Myer’s emerges from behind the curtains over seven hundred people make enough noise you would think there were seven thousand. With green hair, fantastic makeup and his signature red flannel, The Ravenous One always knows how to make an entrance. A talent for which he has few peers. He prances around the ring giving bashful glances, waving hello to…

With a new venue, Without A Cause is making their 9th entry in the promotion’s history, Rated E for Everyone. The VFW Hall has much higher ceilings meaning our highflyers have a lot more room to work with. The venue still had the same amenities, a full bar, snacks, and food. The space was functional, and the audience fit comfortably in the auditorium. With the VFW hall being next door, it was perhaps one of the easiest changes in the venue we’ve ever seen a promotion make! Without further ado, let’s get down to what happened at Rated E for…

On July 26th and 27th DEFY is putting on a doubleheader with its Super 8XGP! These events have a tendency to be epic in scope and the way the card is shaping up there is little doubt this coming weekend is going to be one for the history books at DEFY! We have eight opponents vying for the DEFY Championship belt. Artemis Spencer, Christopher Daniels, Matt Cross, Cody Chhun, Schaff, Judas Icarus, Mike Santiago, and Douglas James are the eight contenders. On night one each one of these will be paired with an opponent. Only four will emerge and advance…

On July 14th Without A Cause will be holding it’s ninth show as they quickly approach the one-year mark of their promotional history, Rated E for Everyone. In just under a year WAC has certainly made an impression, not only regionally but they are turning heads far and wide.

Not only is the wrestling top notch their promo’s and the engagement levels with the fan base are particularly outstanding. The proof is…
