FudgeFanapaloozaFest this THURSDAY from 8-10PM

"FudgeFanapaWHAT?"

That's likely what you're wondering right now. And rightfully so!

Well as you probably know, since it's creation in the spring of 2011 this site has been all about fan service; trying to spread the word and incite interesting conversation about local - and even not quite as local - independent professional wrestling.

This Thursday night from
8pm to 10pm Will and Paul are going LIVE from Studio 68 to take that mission to the next level. We are opening the phone lines up to EVERYONE and ANYONE. We want to hear from IYFW super fans, CTWE super fans, WOHW super fans, and so on and so on, etc etc! We want to know what feuds you want to see, what wrestlers you LOVE and who you HATE! See a quality match on YouTube that you think the rest of the world should see? Tell us about it! We will hunt it down on the fly and put it out there! Are you ANGRY or disgruntled? We are going to give your rage a platform like no other!

Are you a wrestler that hasn't held a mic in too long and wants to rant about the state of affairs in the biz? Shit, give us a call!

That's right... The phone lines will be open and we want to hear from you! Join us in the chat room! Follow us on twitter - @wrestlefudge. Be sure to tune in RIGHT HERE this Thursday at 8pm!

W'fudgeTV: WrestleJam REVIEW, SAW hype, CTWE vs NEW hype, and MORE!

Paul and Will look back at last Saturday night's WrestleJam 9, hype Slam All-Star Wrestling's Sept 29th event in St.Albans, VT, and make BOLD predictions for this weekends HUGE CTWE vs NEW event in Bethany, CT! All this and MUCH more!

Nocturne and Dave Cole: A Study in Emotion

It's a funny thing. As WrestleJam 9 neared, I knew that it would be a heavy night. Between the tribute to their fallen friend in their home town, the implication that one of these hometown heroes could never go home again, and the general atmosphere that I expected to fill the venue ... I knew it would be emotional. Yet I honestly had no idea just how powerful and gripping the build up, match itself, and aftermath would be.

I've only really been aware of Dave Cole, Nocturne, and the Connecticut wrestling scene for a year and a half. Maybe more, maybe less. Certainly much less than probably just about everyone else in attendance that night, yet certainly enough to have been swept up in that moment when they both entered the ring in Shelton, CT; lights dimmed, surrounded by their friends, peers, colleagues at ringside, their closest friends visibly in tears, clearly affected.

In the days leading up to the show, I had made peace with the idea that Nocturne might lose. The guy who I had found to be one of the most consistent, steady and fun guys to watch might be leaving Connecticut and -- as he intimated on a phone call into our old audio BLOGCAST -- the loser just might be done with wrestling entirely. The man who claimed he couldn't be killed, that he'd keep on coming, might DIE on this night. Something about the air in the room that night, the tears in everyone's eyes, the intensity in Noc's, told me that this might be his last match in CT. Maybe even beyond.

But I was wrong. It would be Dave Cole that would eat that monstrous drop from the top of the ladder, onto another ladder, chairs and table to the floor. It would be Dave Cole that would scrape himself from the floor, into the ring, and say a heartfelt goodbye. That crazy belief in the back of my head that said "maybe it'll be a draw and everyone goes home happy and no one leaves Connecticut except US in the morning" was no more and in its place... Was pure emotion.

No, I didn't cry. But I felt it. If you were at the Shelton Boys and Girls Club on September 8th for WrestleJam 9 then you did too.

Dave Cole said goodbye to Connecticut, to his best friends, and to the fans that had watched him grow for so long. It was special. And I was honored to be there to bear witness.

Good luck, Dave Cole, and thank you.

TONIGHT ... from 7PM to 9PM ... it's going to be a GREAT night!

We make some baseless predictions regarding IYFW's Vengeful to the Core... we talk to reigning IYFW Heavyweight Champion, PIERRE "The Beast" VACHON, about his HUGE title match back in the BACC this Saturday. We will take a match by match look at this Saturday night's WrestleJam 9 in Shelton, CT with WrestleJam Owner, MICHAEL BANKS! And finally, we close the show strong with a candid chat with NOCTURNE just days before what MIGHT be his last match as he faces DAVE COLE in what should be an absolutely INSANE Ladder Match!

Don't miss the show!
