PAGEOT, PWTORCH CONTRIBUTOR<\/h3>\n<p><em>Commentary: Effy, Rich Bocchini<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Enjoy Wrestling is a brand-new indie promotion out of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Slated to begin life in the spring of 2020 but thwarted by the COVID-19 pandemic, their first tapings ever took place in January and that footage now sees the light of day as a four-episode YouTube series called <em>Canned Heat<\/em>. The first episode premiered last week with the remaining two dropping the next two Thursdays at 7:30 p.m. EST. <em>Canned Heat<\/em> covers the entirety of an eight-person tournament with competitors vying to win the first Enjoy Cup.<\/p>\n<p>Last week&#8217;s premiere registered 411 live viewers but that number has climbed to 1740 views in the week since.\u00a0 Enjoy also made the decision to move the start time up half an hour for the remainder of the series so as not to run head to head with Beyond&#8217;s <em>Signature Series<\/em> on IWTV.\u00a0 We&#8217;ll see if that boosts tonight&#8217;s live count.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We opened with a shot of the trophy as the commentators checked in.\u00a0 A video package recapped Mr. Grim defeating Shawn Phoenix and MV Young defeating Willow Nightingale last week to advance in our first opening round matches.<\/p>\n<p>-Backstage, interviewer Meg Fair was with Ziggy Haim.\u00a0 Haim said she has something to prove.\u00a0 People discount her because of her size but she is going out with the trophy.<\/p>\n<p>In the arena &#8220;Deceptacon&#8221;

as they put it.\u00a0 I like that Enjoy has found easy quick ways to establish some heels in this tournament when they could have simply had every match be &#8220;may the best person win&#8221; with no defined heroes or villains.\u00a0 Bocchini acting confused by some of the presentation, like he had never heard Still Life&#8217;s name before, bothered me at first before I realized that it&#8217;s purposefully putting him as the spokesperson for any first-time viewers unfamiliar with the wrestlers in this tournament.\u00a0 Treating your roster like they&#8217;re household names everybody must already be familiar is a form of gatekeeping that can turn off potential recruits.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>For those keeping track, as this tournament was taped back in January, this was the fourth iteration of Still Life with the mask that covered the hair but exposed the eyes.\u00a0 She has since debuted the fifth iteration, with hair unfurled, at Camp Leapfrog&#8217;s\u00a0<\/em>Camp Lovefrog\u00a0<em>event on Valentine&#8217;s Day.\u00a0 Based on her new nickname, this was clearly also around the time Haim was binge-watching <\/em>Twin Peaks<em>.\u00a0 Let&#8217;s see if that gum she likes comes back in style.<\/em>)<\/p>\n<p>-In the locker room an unmasked Still Life stood with her back to the camera.\u00a0 She and Nightingale were distressed.\u00a0 Still Life didn&#8217;t know what to do without a mask for her second round match.\u00a0 The fifth iteration was in progress at this point but not ready to unveil yet.\u00a0 Nightingale said she&#8217;d figure something out.<\/p>\n<p>-A paid advertisement aired from &#8220;The Gavel&#8221; David Lawless, Esq.<\/p>\n<p>-Backstage Lee Moriarty pulled up to Meg Fair on a tricycle.\u00a0 They put over the hype around him.\u00a0 He said he&#8217;s been called the best wrestler in North America but he hasn&#8217;t won a championship or a tournament in over a year.\u00a0 That changes tonight.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Your Woman&#8221;
