In other news…
Jimmy Jacobs and Delirious traveled to Hawaii last week to compete in Action Zone Wrestling, and those results are now below.
The lineup for the next PWG show on Nov. 11 has been posted below. It looks like another excellent show for PWG! Check them out at www.prowrestlingguerrilla.com. I just posted another rave review of one of their shows from April.
East Coast indy wrestling Stan Lee has suffered a career-threatening injury after breaking a leg. He has worked for WWE in the past.
You might have recognized “Robert Roode’s number one fan” at ringside the past three weeks on Impact. It is Rain, who has wrestled for Ring of Honor, Shimmer, and IWA Mid-South. I mentioned maybe a month ago that she had relocated from Minnesota to Florida (which has led to her appearing on all the recent Full Impact Pro shows.) Rain told me she’s not under contract, but it definitely looks like TNA has some ideas for how to use her! Rain is a very good women’s wrestler, and would really be another great addition to TNA’s growing division.
JAPW released the lineup for its Dec. 8 “Seasons Beatings” show, with B-Boy’s final JAPW match (as B-Boy had previously announced he would retire at the end of this year.) B-Boy will face Archadia and Azrieal in a three-way. This HUGE show includes A.J. Styles, Low Ki, Homicide, Kazarian, Chris Hero, Jay Lethal, Human Tornado and Teddy Hart. The lineup is below, and learn more at www.japw.net.
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.
