SNS Sticks & Kicks reaches its second week as Day 8 of the 2014 FIFA World Cup is covered. First was the close Group C match between Colombia and the Ivory Coast, then a must-win match for both teams as Uruguay faced England and finally the action-packed but also not-so action-packed match as Japan took on Greece. The matches for Day 9 are previewed as well.

The Whole Indy Show reaches another milestone as the show reaches it’s 100th episode. Ashley & Sandro mark this by doing nothing special… as this week’s lice of Indy goodness is another packed week for all things Indy. On the news front, a final eBay auction for some of Kobald’s gear (including his first ever boots and last ever mask) raise money for charity, another of Beyond Wrestling’s shows is being put up on a pay-per-match basis on YouTube, Sin Cara and a few other talents not getting paid in Mexico a few weeks back, and a very interesting tryout session at WWE with a couple of Indy names involved. Sandro also runs down the WWE cuts and his thoughts on their Indy prospects. There’s also results from IWA Mid-South, House Of Hardcore, a Beyond Wrestling Sleeper Cell taping, Revolution Pro Wrestling, Queens Of Combat 2, Excellence Pro Wrestling (thanks to Dave from EPW for the nice words) and CZW’s Tournament Of Death XIII. The previews then begin the second part as the guys first focus on the biggest card of the week, as Ring Of Honor makes it full-fledged live debut on PPV with Best In The World 2014. The guys give their thoughts and picks for the matches on the card as well as their hopes on the card’s presentation but also some worries on the promotional awareness that ROH has done over the past few weeks. There’s also previews of New Japan’s Dominion iPPV (which Justin also asks a question about which is covered here), 2CW’s events as part of a music festival and AAW’s Bound By Hate. The final segment sees the previews continue as Beyond Wrestling has their live event ‘Uncomfortable’, and there’s a reminder of this Friday night’s Larry Sweeney Fundraiser night at the Squared Circle bar in Chicago, IL, before the guys preview this weekend’s Chikara events, all 3 of which include the #BatiriRAFFLE, with Saturday afternoon’s ‘Quantum Of Solace’ and Saturday evening’s ‘Diamonds Are Forever’ in Chicago, as well as Sunday’s ‘Goldfinger’ in Detroit, MI.

Day 7 of SNS Sticks & Kicks and a very significant day in the 2014 FIFA World Cup. It started with the match between Australia & The Netherlands, with possibly two of the best goals in this tournament, if not in recent World Cup history. Following on was the do-or-die match for World Champions Spain as they took on Chile, knowing that anything less than victory meant they would be eliminated. The final match saw Cameroon facing Croatia, with both teams looking for their first victory in the competition. Day 8’s fixtures are also previewed.

Day 6 of SNS Sticks & Kicks with Ashley Richardson covering the 2014 FIFA World Cup, and three very tight and cagey matches, but still very entertaining. We had Belgium taking on Algeria, which had a moment 28 years in the making, the first match of the second round of group stage matches as Brazil & Mexico had possibly one of the most exciting no-score draws in World Cup history and the final match of the opening round of matches between Russia and South Korea. Day 7’s fixtures are also previewed.

The final part has Ashley do a quick summary along with more thoughtful views on the big 5 press conferences and events from E3, with some clearer opinion on some of the games and things revealed than he did when he recorded the individual specials last week (Which you can still find archives on the SNS Radio Network site), before the most epic song from E3 closes the show.

SNS Sticks & Kicks is here covering Day 5 of the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, and a day of mixed results for the teams. We had a very one sided affair with Germany vs. Portugal, along with another sending off, a very lackluture match from Iran & Nigeria, which left the Curitiba crowd less than impressed, and high drama with early and late goals in the match between Ghana & USA. There’s also a preview of Day 6’s matches.

Day 5 of the tournament is also previewed.

Day 3 of SNS Sticks & Kicks saw Super Saturday at the FIFA World Cup with 4 matches being played, with Colombia facing Greece, Uruguay against Costa Rica, England talking on Italy and Ivory Coast versus Japan. And they lived up to the super name as there was super action, super quickfire goals, super goal celebrations, super shocks and (something not so super) the first sending off of the tournament. There’s also a preview of the matches for Day 4.

It’s day 2 of SNS Sticks & Kicks and after the opening match yesterday, the first full day of matches got underway with the other match from Brazil & Croatia’s group as Mexico took on Cameroon, Chile facing Australia from Group B and, by far the best match of the day as well as the tournament, defending champions Spain playing against another strong European side, The Netherlands. There’s also a preview of Super Saturday as 4 matches are set to take place.

The results continue in the second part, with shows from House Of Hardcore, DREAMWAVE Wrestling and Ring Of Honor.

There’s also hardcore crazy action, light tubes, one fan getting especially angry, pimp ring announcers, betrayals and even a backstage blooper… if you pardon the interruption… The review concludes in the final segment before the guys preview the Larry Sweeney Charity fundraiser event next Friday as well as this weekend’s major shows, with Revolution Pro’s SummerSizzler in the UK, Queens Of Combat’s event, Excellence Pro Wrestling’s ‘Summer Solstice’ and CZW’s Tournament Of Death 13.

The inaugural episode of the special SNS Sticks & Kicks podcast is here. Ashley covers the opening match with Brazil and Croatia, with some controversial moments, passionate people and a heated atmosphere… and that wasn’t just in the stadium either! However, it was certainly a day which proved to be very eventful on and off the pitch for all. There’s also a brief preview of the second day’s matches, including a 2010 World Cup Final rematch.
