For years, The Collective has been an important hub for independent events surrounding Wrestlemania weekend.

This year’s trip to Las Vegas will be no exception, with GCW’s The Collective presenting a total of 11 events over the course of three days from the Palms Casino Resort.

The Collective will kick off Thursday, April 17, carrying through to Saturday evening following the first night of Wrestlemania 41. The lineup includes many past additions to their schedule, including Joey Janela’s Spring Break, Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport, and Effy’s Big Gay Brunch.

The Mark Hitchcock SuperShow is a new addition. Last year it was its own thing, competing against whatever the Collective was doing at the same time.

Correct! And this makes me wonder where other shows (i.e. Stardom) will land this year, since they shared the SuperShow venue. Impact x NJPW shared the SuperShow venue a couple of years back.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Stardom being in Philadelphia last year (another show I wasn’t at). Maybe they won’t bother with WM since they’ll be in Los Angeles around the same time (I think?).
