WEEKEND PREVIEW, NEWS & NOTES
After a very busy weekend, this weekend is quite light. The FIP show in Florida featuring Go Shiozaki vs. Erick Stevens, plus Tyler Black vs. Kenny King is the top show worth noting entering this weekend.
Delirious will compete for Elite Pro Wrestling in the Chicago suburbs, and Kevin Steen and El Generico are both in action for IWS in Quebec, Canada.
I’ve also updated a variety of other big shows that are coming up at the end of August and mid-September.
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.
