Summary
Jonathan Gresham will face Fuminori Abe in the main event of "PRODUCE Volume 1: The Octopus" on Monday at 8 p.m. ET at Pioneer Works in Brooklyn.
Gresham said he joined the new Orange Crush-backed series to showcase a more deliberate vision of wrestling, centered on detail, consistency and performers who "love pro wrestling."
He argued modern indie wrestling increasingly rewards dangerous stunts over psychology and character, citing balcony dives, missed tables and TV matches that can shrink from 8 minutes to 4.
The debut card also includes Joey Janela, Effy, Mance Warner and others, with Gresham serving as co-producer, Adam Abdalla as creative director and Abel Ferrara slated to perform music.
