After a year where the indies were either shut down or not great, THE INDIES ARE BACK! Indies having updated websites really isn't back, and maybe never was back in the case of PWG, so this is a twitter heavy post. The highest profile indie currently running is Game Changer Wrestling the Jersey based death match and wacky produce based federation that has brought a number of wrestlers to the national stage. Their current champion is Nick Gage and their tag titles are still in Mexico on Miedo Extremo and Ciclope. Will they ever get them back? Who knows. Their next show is BACK YARD WRESTLING 3! https://twitter.com/GCWrestling_/status/1407495513700712449 Then Texas https://twitter.com/GCWrestling_/status/1409232424748322817 Then to the JUNKYARD (hopefully) https://twitter.com/GCWrestling_/status/1393217484698755073 Then back to ATLANTIC CITY FOR HOMECOMING! The most famous indie, PRO WRESTLING GUERILLA is returning! https://twitter.com/OfficialPWG/status/1403155046179557377 I think this is all we know at this time. WARRIOR WRESTLING is your source for weird indie supercards and private school fundraising. https://twitter.com/WarriorWrstlng/status/1409877429779304451 https://twitter.com/RobKovach999/status/1409857952941543427 BEYOND WRESTLING will be running Masterclass starting tomorrow! Beyond has hosted many of the CAP wrestlers signed to AEW. https://twitter.com/beyondwrestling/status/1410056784212078594 ABSOLUTELY INTENSE WRESTLING is back too! https://twitter.com/aiwrestling/status/1380163523590946822 https://twitter.com/aiwrestling/status/1410025845402521606 BLACK LABEL PRO will be back ALL IN Weekend running with GCW! https://twitter.com/GCWrestling_/status/1410036037598990338 PRO WRESTLING REVOLUTION is back too for you Nor Cal folks! https://twitter.com/ultimo_panda/status/1407937747197648902 DEFY is not back yet but you can watch them on Pluto. https://twitter.com/defyNW/status/1356663574223941632 MISSION PRO is run by Thunder Rosa and Mr. Rosa and has many of the women you love from AEW Dark![/b] https://twitter.com/MissionProWres/status/1406370502382325761 There's also CAP TV https://twitter.com/CreateAPro/status/1409693782702845957 and NYWC TV https://twitter.com/NYWCWRESTLING/status/1386352359161401349 and tons of other indies out there!

But most importantly we have indie sleaze. The first indie sleaze we can cover is Drake Wuertz coming to Daily Wrestling! https://twitter.com/mongo_ebooks/status/1410233168553197571 Was this booked because of their patreon? Who knows! https://twitter.com/DailyWres/status/1408448611999006725 The promotion is run by Dan Elder who was involved with Brit Wres and my mentions and DMs immediately filled with the words "abusive" and "pedophile" so that's really weird!

Pittsburgh has the International Wrestling Cartel (IWC) which gave the world Dr. Britt Baker and Wardlow. Brian Pillman Jr's listed as being part of the current roster, plus a bunch of these guys showed up on Dark a little while back. The next show has both NZO and BIG CAZ so I think I'll skip that one, but this might be fun to check out in the fall. I remember seeing Larry Sweeney and Colt Cabana in a strut off back in college, that was pretty awesome.

I think I might head to Jersey on Saturday for JCW's Great American Smash. The card looks pretty decent: Cole Radrick, Billie Starkz, Jody Threat, Janai Kai, Hoodfoot, KTB, Tre Lamar. RSP vs Slayer lol, should be a fun time.

My local indie Pro Wrestling Ambush (run by Spike Trivet) just stealth-announced they're going to be running shows again... in October. https://twitter.com/pro_ambush/status/1409591233396236288?s=19 Oh well, it's the UK and we're still under some degree of restriction, but I'm looking forward to it.

IWC is a constantly overlooked promotion that both books indie dream matches and weird poo poo to appeal to casual fans and should be applauded for it.

Critical posted:does GCW ever run new england? never seen a deathmatch in person and it's something I would like to fix Since they've gotten "big" I think the closest they've ever come is NYC. Beyond doesn't run death matches but there's a chance you'll see a barbed wire match or stuff like tacks there.

https://twitter.com/weareglorypro/status/1409527428964405256?s=21 for all its history STL hasn’t had much of an indie scene (mostly because the Missouri Office of Athletics still regulates pro wrestling and requires shows to do things like “have medics” and “make talent pass a physical”) but Glory Pro has been quietly building a following over the past few years. This card is no exception.

While it is likely he will be able to do PWG I don't think we know for sure if the current ROH deals will allow it. They probably do but who knows if they tried to change things around during the pandemic.

Danhausen and Warhorse are not the kind of people I'd expect from the more modern PWG although they both rule. The good news is that AEW will almost definitely let their talent do PWG but I hope they let teams like The Acclaimed and Private Party get their poo poo in there instead of sending over the AEW headliners, PWG was THE place to see the stars of the future and I hope they keep it up. Also drat I am still so bummed out that Bandito signed to ROH, he was becoming one of my favorite wrestlers but there's no shot you're getting me to watch ROH.

Guys on the lower tier deals can basically do any indie they want. MassRafTer fucked around with this message at 18:50 on Jul 1, 2021 |
