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

Another very light weekend of indy wrestling. Keep sending me reports, but my updates will be sporadic for the next two weeks!

Steve Corino and Sterling James Keenan both missed the Absolute Intense Wrestling show on Sunday because of bad weather. Results are below.

I also have results from Bayou Independent Wrestling from the weekend, featuring Jay Lethal and Jon Heidenreich below.

Jersey All Pro has announced that its first show of 2008 will feature Low Ki vs. Hernandez. I’ve seen this match before (from IWA Mid-South, down in Texas), and this should be a fantastic match-up before the JAPW faithful. Visit www.japw.net to learn more about this exciting promotion.

Future articles: I am currently working on a “top 10” indy DVD list of 2008, as well as a top 10 indy news stories of the year. Look for those between Christmas and New Year’s!

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.
