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 PREVIEW, NEWS & NOTES

Ring of Honor returns to the Midwest this weekend, with a show tonight in Dayton, Ohio, then the “Trios tournament” on Saturday in Chicago Ridge, Ill. Unfortunately, with 5 to 8 inches of snow predicted across Wisconsin, I’ve decided to cancel plans to attend this weekend.

Beyond the ROH shows, I’m not aware of any ‘major’ indy shows. By all means, if you know about shows I’m missing, please email me!

In other news…

Michigan high-flyer Josh Abercrombie (most known for his part as a WSX “Trailer Park Boy”) has broken fibula in his ankle and will be out for a couple months.

The three-show Chikara Pro “Season Finale” weekend DVDs are not for sale at www.smartmarkvideo.com.

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.
