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

ROH returns to action this weekend, with shows tonight in Boston and Saturday in New Jersey, and lineups for those shows are posted below. Bryan Danielson faces Chris Hero tonight, and the Briscoes will battle Necro Butcher & Tyler Black on Saturday.

Meanwhile, CZW has its first show of the year in the former ECW Arena in southern Philadelphia on Saturday, and you can check out the match listings below.

Scotty 2 Hotty will be in action on Saturday for Southern Championship Wrestling in DeBary, Fla.

Jerry Lynn wil head to IWF on Sunday in Golden, Colo. I can’t see we get too many indy results from out West, so I hope someone sends in a report!

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.
