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
Welcome back, everyone. The PWG lineup on Friday got shuffled up a bit, as Necro Butcher and Eddie Kingston missed the show. Perhaps the best indy wrestler from Minnesota, now wrestling under the gimmick name of Brandon Bonham since moving to California last year, made his PWG debut in the opening match, scoring a win. In the main event, Super Dragon attacked the tag champions of Joey Ryan & Scott Lost, which allowed Generico & Kevin Steen to win the tag titles.
Roderick Strong defeated Austin Aries in the main event of the FIP show on Saturday in Florida.
Tammy Sytch competed in a three-way dance in the main event of the National Wrestling Superstars show on Friday in New Jersey.
In other news…
JAPW has announced the partial lineup for its next show on April 19, including LAX vs. the Rock n’ Rave Infection. Go to www.japw.net to learn more.
