GCW posted this today:
"Collective 2025 announcement coming on Tuesday!!!"
I believe I already know where The Collective is taking place (and the exact location surprised me) in Las Vegas, but I am still looking forward to Tuesday's announcement.

 yeah, I found out last Summer that The Collective would be at The Palms and I was a little surprised because that casino is going to limit what GCW can do in the ring. |

They didn't really do a huge amount of deathmatch/hardcore stuff this year in Philly, maybe that's just their approach to Mania weekend now

I was recently talking to Dr. Redacted about how Las Vegas is a tough market for the deathmatch scene. Marks R Us does their deathmatch shows (including the upcoming Unlucky 8 tournament) at the Dive Bar but that venue is just way too small The Collective. |

Agreed, I think it's a shame they aren't doing any really, as it does differentiate it a little more for people, but then I guess if you are trying to bring in more of the Mania specific crowd, then perhaps you have to be a little more generic on those days.
Dr Redacted has had some wild matches of late, it would be interesting to see more casual fans being confronted by that kind of thing during a Collective weekend!!

That also isn't to say they don't do some cool stuff still, I mean who else is going to try and put on a Punjabi Prison match at an indie show!!

since GCW often (but not exclusively) picks wrestlers from the area where it holds the annual Indie Wrestling Hall of Fame, I am wondering if either Brian Cage or TJ Perkins (both of whom live here in Las Vegas) could be candidates for induction in 2025? Willie Mack also lives here as does Sabu (but after they tried to induct him this year only for him to decline getting on an escalator, would they try again next year with Sabu?)
Austin Aries used to live here, but I have been told he moved away a few years ago.
also perhaps some nearby SoCal names such as Joey Kaos, Supreme, B Boy, etc?
I would love it to be the nearby Young Bucks, but I doubt it for now.
