On February 24 in Everett Washington I had the privilege of attending Without A Cause’s fourth show, With Love, WAC XOXO. There was a spectacular line up for the show. One match in particular caught my eye. King Khash would be making his last appearance before heading for Japan to work with Zero 1. How long would he be gone? No one knew; thus, he was having a send off match with some of his fellow wrestlers form the Buddy Wayne Academy. It seemed like a great way for ring brothers to say farewell to their friend. Guillermo Rosas and…

Jordie Taylor is not a name many people outside of Vancouver and Victoria British Columbia have heard of. On April 21, 2019, at Without A Cause Volume 6 Fool’s Gold, the denizens of Everett Washington were introduced to an unfamiliar talent. He strutted into the auditorium with far more attitude than any one person has the right to possess. Jordie, also known as “OGB” Old Greedy Bastard, makes no qualms about what he’s there to do. He’s there to destroy his opponents, unapologetically and with prejudice. He has champion written all over him and he won’t let you forget it!…

Texas has a long and glorious tradition of wrestling that shares much in common with their neighbors to the south, Mexico including Chris Cruz. On a dense playing field of exceptional talent every once in a while, someone stands out from the others. Perhaps they possess a spark that draws your attention, or they have a certain way of connecting with the audience. One thing is for certain Chris Cruz is one of those talents who stands out on a crowded playing field. He has a unique gimmick as that of a nurse, however, he isn’t playing around. In his…

If this is a name you haven’t heard before, take the time to learn it. She is a spectacular talent. Her name will linger on the lips of every household in America in the next couple of years. If you have any doubt about my bold statement, go, spy, some of her matches online, or even better make it to one of the DEFY show’s where she is emerging as one of their regularly featured talents. Danika Della Rouge made her debut in Ring of Honor. This last weekend on Sunday, June 2, 2019, Danika made a particularly important debut.…

In October of last year Without A Cause had its inaugural event. As you arrived there were two homeless youth outside the venue panhandling as fans entered the building. Even though Everett is a small community about thirty minutes north of Seattle, it isn’t a particularly unusual thing to have panhandlers combing the street. They had ripped shirts and pants with enormous holes and looked as though they had slept in a dumpster the night before. This is Tyler ‘The Beefboy’ Elliot. The evening progresses much as one would expect. The show was fantastic, and we came to a spot…

Prestige Wrestling The New Fury May 24, 2019 Spokane Washington The Pin In what is their second stop on their regional tour Prestige Wrestling presents The New Fury, introducing Spokane Washington to this incredible promotion. This show is a testament not only to the success of Prestige but to the health of professional wrestling in the Pacific Northwest. This is especially refreshing since we are little more than a couple of years away from being considered a black hole of professional wrestling. Now we have promotions, like Prestige, putting on shows that are spectacular! They are using the best in…

Without A Cause Volume 7: That’s What I Call Music May 19th, 2019 Everett Washington Normanna Lodge May 19th is just around the corner and That’s What I Call Music is the seventh volume of this fantastic new promotion’s entry of incredible shows. With Chase James declared the first Without A Cause Champion, WAC joins a short list of promotions around the Pacific Northwest with a coveted championship belt. It seems likely it will require a great deal on the part of Mr. James to keep this belt around his waist. At Volume 7 we are going to see the…
