Torch Indy Reporter Chris Vetter travels thousands of miles each year to see dozens of indy shows all over the Midwest. His reports covering the entire U.S. Indy Scene are usually published exclusively here at PWTorch.com every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
WEEKEND RESULTS, NEWS & NOTES
The big show of the weekend was Jersey All Pro on Saturday, which featured Homicide & Hernandez defeating Samoa Joe & Low Ki. The show also featured Frankie Kazarian defeating Chris Hero. Results are below.
Pro Wrestling Syndicated debuted in New Jersey on Friday, but without some of their big advertised stars, most notably, no Samoa Joe. Sounds like a rough start for this promotion.
AAW held a HUGE show on Saturday that saw the surprise debuts of Josh Abercrombie and Delirious. Those are two more BIG names from IWA Mid-South that are now taking AAW bookings. Also on this show, Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin debuted and won the tag titles, so they will be back to AAW in the near future. This is a promotion to watch!
In other news…
Eugene will make his indy return, when he heads to the No Limits Wrestling “Third year anniversary” show this Friday in Blue Grass, Iowa.
And you can always reach me with your indy results at chrisjvetter@hotmail.com. I request that you remember to say date, location (including building, city & state!), and full name of the promotion.
