Alt-Nation: Beyond Wrestling Presents “Party Animals” Photo credit: Jon Washer I’ve exhausted all my desire to write about music for one year, so figured I’d move the conversation along to the next most rocking thing going down in the Providence this week: wrestling. I’ve always been a casual fan of wrestling. I caught one of Beyond Wrestling’s event a few months ago at Aurora and found the up-close, in-your-face experience to be thrilling. I prefer it to an arena show for the same reasons that I prefer club shows to arena rock concerts. The wrestlers will go outside the ring and brawl right in the middle of the crowd with no barriers. The whole performance is just a rush. And that brings us to Beyond Wrestling’s last show of the year at Aurora. The event, billed as “Party Animals,” is notable for a couple of matches. David Starr will be defending his wXw Shotgun Championship against Jonathan Gresham. There is what promises to be a heavyweight slugfest between two giants (both over six and a half feet tall and over 300 pounds apiece) as Keith Lee takes on Chris Hero. The main story will be the final Beyond Wrestling appearance for Kimber Lee who is going to be jumping to the big time of the WWE starting in January. A trailblazer in women’s wrestling and certified bad ass, Lee has taken on both women and men and has not lost at a Beyond Wrestling house show in over a year. If I had Lee’s outstanding run of success and a WWE contract in hand, I’d ask for a jobber for my last match to ensure a dominant final victory. That isn’t Lee’s style, however, as not only is she fighting a male, she’s taking on Donovan Dijak, who also has not lost at a Beyond Wrestling live event in over a year. How can you beat an inter-gender battle of two combatants who have been undefeated for over a year? Plus it will be your last chance to see Kimber Lee before she graduates to the cavernous arenas that host WWE shows! Beyond Wrestling presents “Party Animals” this Thursday at Aurora in Providence on December 29. Email music news to [email protected] .

Wxw Holds Keynote on Wxw NOW Streaming
wXw holds keynote on wXw NOW streaming service, announces details on Germany's first wrestling network wXw just announced the first in-depth details on our new "wXw NOW" streaming network, which will launch one month from now on 8/13 at www.wxwnow.de. It will not just be a collection of shows like a lot of companies offer for a monthly fee via Pivotshare but also offer original content and a lot of archived shows, some dating back as far as 2006. We will also have our uniquely designed interface/UI, while hosting and infrastructure will be managed by Vimeo, our long-time streaming partner, dating back to 2013. Wrestling journalist Markus Gronemann (DarkMat.eu, Wrestling Observer) considers this to be the biggest launch of an over-the-top pro wrestling channel by a single promotion since New Japan World. wXw Managing Director Christian Jakobi held a keynote presentation tonight at 8 pm CEST at the wXw Wrestling Academy training school, which was streamed live on Facebook (the video is available, albeit only in German, here) and talked about what future and past events and what kind of original content would be available. We had up to 750 viewers simultaneously on Facebook and also had some students and a trainer (Toby Blunt) in attendance to provide some crowd noise and cheering at key points during the announcement. Marquee Events are wXw's version of pay-per-view caliber shows, where feuds start and end and international talent often appears. There currently are 10 marquee events on the calendar, with some of them being multi-day shows:

Cubed Circle Newsletter 241 – Consistency Is Hard
Cubed Circle Newsletter 241 – Consistency is Hard As many of probably noticed, we have been posting late and sporadically for the last month. This was, obviously, not our intention, but with the second semester eating into my free time, staying up to date is a tall order. Even without the newsletter itself seeing weekly publication the site has still remained up to date on a weekly basis, thanks primarily to co-author Ben Carass, as well as guest writers Paul Cooke and Leslie Lee III. But, the newsletter has survived for well over 241 weeks, and will hopefully thrive in the years to come. I have attempted to make provisions for publishing related tasks which should minimize the risk of major delays (obviously there will be some regular delays, as this late issue can attest), but we have some fail safes in place in order to keep this to a minimum. With all of this said, we have a great issue for everyone this week with Paul Cooke discussing the Pro-Wrestling Only Greatest Wrestler Ever project and his personal experience with the poll, Ben covers the news including tons of results from Japan and the Lesnar USADA violation, the Mixed Bag returns with a look at comedy wrestling, Ricochet/Ospreay, and a potential WWE match of the year -- plus Ben also looks at last Sunday's Battleground show and the first RAW of the brand split (a very good show). Also, for those unaware, we now have an official Twitter account @CubedCircleWres allowing the banger to unprecedented highs at @BenCarass and @RyanClingman.

The myth of the unbeatable fighter is just that, a myth. In what will go down as the single most memorable UFC fight in history, Ronda Rousey was not only defeated, but systematically destroyed by a fighter and a coaching staff that had spent years preparing for that night. On 2/28, Holly Holm and Ronda Rousey were the two co-headliners on a show at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The idea was that Holm, a former world boxing champion, would impressively knock out Raquel Pennington, a .500 level fighter who was known for exchanging blows and not taking her down. Rousey was there to face Cat Zingano, a fight that was supposed to be the hardest one of her career. Holm looked unimpressive, barely squeaking by in a split decision. Rousey beat Zingano with an armbar in 14 seconds.
