Here's my guess. Jon Oliva's Pain doing an acoustic set. They have been doing these over in Europe for the last couple tours. They are within driving distance from Atlanta. Jon has a good relationship with Glenn, plus Zak will be there as well to join for a few songs maybe????? Sounds like it could work if they don't have anything scheduled during that time.
ProgPower USA VIII: Special Wednesday Night "Mystery" Show
- Thread starter Harvester
- Start date
Just thinking some more here. JOP are probably flying out of Atlanta to go to Europe. They would leave on Thursday or Friday more than likely. This actually could work.
I'm not even sure if we'll be there Wed. night or not yet, but if I missed a show like this I'll be pissed!

You forgot the "___ on a pole" match, probably a dildo.
I'd like to see DEMONS & WIZARDS (Schaeffer + Kursch) vs. ALLEN/LANDE in a TLC match. Good stuff.

Aren't bra and panty matches the one where they need to shed the others down to their bra & panties while keeping their own clothes on to win? Thought there was no pins in that.
And yes, a TLC match is a must.

Could Jeff Scott Soto be gracing the stage for a Queen tribute? It would fit with the karaoke and Glenn has stated that JSS was previously asked to perform this show at PP. At that time, JSS declined. Maybe now that he's free from Journey, he might reconsider. I can only hope. 
Actually, they wrestle in bras and panties. As for a TLC (for those of you who don't know is Tables, Ladders and Chairs) match: I went for the more "old-school" stuff. I was actually dreaming up a scaffold match for one of them.

actually Jibrille is correct - they start out with their usual attire on and they must strip their opponent down to their bra and panties to win the match. You were probably just envisioning all those beautiful ladies in their undergarments before the match even began!
Good Call!and by the way, who is KRISTOFFER JOHANSEN (Christofer Johnsson, maybe?) and why would he be in a drum riser match for Therion? Shouldn't it be the actual drummer for Therion - Petter Karlsson? *shrug* just curious.
I did enjoy reading this as an old-school pro wrestling fan. Great Job!
and hey, I got your Scaffold Match covered... Teddy Moller (Loch Vostok, Wuthering Heights) in a KILT! :zombie: against an opponent of your choosing...
I'll be managing Teddy while wearing my own Kilt, so don't be surprised if I climb that scaffold and get involved at some point! GYAH! avert your eyes! LMAO!

That was based on CHRISTOFER Johnsson's problem with Blind Guardian on a show in Russia. A request to lower the drum riser was shot down by Kursch.
I thought you knew that. Johansen posted the statement on the Russian show on the Therion website.
My mistake on the name typo.

+1 This was a fantastic read, with some really great surprises, like Cactus Jack! We should make a fantasy HWC league. I'd play!

no worries, man, I was just joshing you about the name. Hell, I had to look it up to make sure I spelled it right, and I'm one of their biggest fans!
LOLand yeah, I read about the whole drum riser issue but didn't make the connection since that was weeks ago and I've slept since then. Sorry.
I guess you don't have an opponent for my man, the Kilted Teddy Moller?
if ya scared say ya scared!

I'm pretty sure he had already stated early on that YES it does apply.
but it will be great to experience this show nonetheless. It's going to be nothing short of jaw-dropping amazingly great!!!

No, AFAIK Glenn said the Showcase (Thurs.) was no-cameras, etc..... But I don't think he's ever specified anything about the Wed. show.
