After a year where the indies were either shut down or not great, THE INDIES ARE BACK! Indies having updated websites really isn't back, and maybe never was back in the case of PWG, so this is a twitter heavy post. The highest profile indie currently running is Game Changer Wrestling the Jersey based death match and wacky produce based federation that has brought a number of wrestlers to the national stage. Their current champion is Nick Gage and their tag titles are still in Mexico on Miedo Extremo and Ciclope. Will they ever get them back? Who knows. Their next show is BACK YARD WRESTLING 3! https://twitter.com/GCWrestling_/status/1407495513700712449 Then Texas https://twitter.com/GCWrestling_/status/1409232424748322817 Then to the JUNKYARD (hopefully) https://twitter.com/GCWrestling_/status/1393217484698755073 Then back to ATLANTIC CITY FOR HOMECOMING! The most famous indie, PRO WRESTLING GUERILLA is returning! https://twitter.com/OfficialPWG/status/1403155046179557377 I think this is all we know at this time. WARRIOR WRESTLING is your source for weird indie supercards and private school fundraising. https://twitter.com/WarriorWrstlng/status/1409877429779304451 https://twitter.com/RobKovach999/status/1409857952941543427 BEYOND WRESTLING will be running Masterclass starting tomorrow! Beyond has hosted many of the CAP wrestlers signed to AEW. https://twitter.com/beyondwrestling/status/1410056784212078594 ABSOLUTELY INTENSE WRESTLING is back too! https://twitter.com/aiwrestling/status/1380163523590946822 https://twitter.com/aiwrestling/status/1410025845402521606 BLACK LABEL PRO will be back ALL IN Weekend running with GCW! https://twitter.com/GCWrestling_/status/1410036037598990338 PRO WRESTLING REVOLUTION is back too for you Nor Cal folks! https://twitter.com/ultimo_panda/status/1407937747197648902 DEFY is not back yet but you can watch them on Pluto. https://twitter.com/defyNW/status/1356663574223941632 MISSION PRO is run by Thunder Rosa and Mr. Rosa and has many of the women you love from AEW Dark![/b] https://twitter.com/MissionProWres/status/1406370502382325761 There's also CAP TV https://twitter.com/CreateAPro/status/1409693782702845957 and NYWC TV https://twitter.com/NYWCWRESTLING/status/1386352359161401349 and tons of other indies out there!

But most importantly we have indie sleaze. The first indie sleaze we can cover is Drake Wuertz coming to Daily Wrestling! https://twitter.com/mongo_ebooks/status/1410233168553197571 Was this booked because of their patreon? Who knows! https://twitter.com/DailyWres/status/1408448611999006725 The promotion is run by Dan Elder who was involved with Brit Wres and my mentions and DMs immediately filled with the words "abusive" and "pedophile" so that's really weird!

A Fancy Hat posted:Pittsburgh has the International Wrestling Cartel (IWC) which gave the world Dr. Britt Baker and Wardlow. Brian Pillman Jr's listed as being part of the current roster, plus a bunch of these guys showed up on Dark a little while back. IWC is a constantly overlooked promotion that both books indie dream matches and weird poo poo to appeal to casual fans and should be applauded for it.

Critical posted:does GCW ever run new england? never seen a deathmatch in person and it's something I would like to fix Since they've gotten "big" I think the closest they've ever come is NYC. Beyond doesn't run death matches but there's a chance you'll see a barbed wire match or stuff like tacks there.

El Gallinero Gros posted:...who's the PWG champ? I remember WALTER having it, then I think he lost it to Flamita? Bandido. While it is likely he will be able to do PWG I don't think we know for sure if the current ROH deals will allow it. They probably do but who knows if they tried to change things around during the pandemic.

Could be great, could be a disaster, very excited for the Davey Richards TYOOL 2021 Experience. https://twitter.com/WarriorWrstlng/status/1410638061709447169 KungFu Grip posted:I know he's not on the same level as a guy going to be in a title match but Danhausen is still taking indy bookings There are different tiers of ROH deals, the big money deals guys like Bandido signed are exclusive (to ROH and their partners) but guys demanded to be able to do some outside dates. Guys on the lower tier deals can basically do any indie they want. MassRafTer fucked around with this message at 18:50 on Jul 1, 2021 |

sticklefifer posted:Azteca Underground is filming vignettes for summer release leading into its MLW-spinoff show, which starts taping in the fall. Matt Cross has already joined up. Hopefully they're able to pay people better than LU did. MLW pays some guys like $150 a night so they they are already the spiritual successor to Lucha Underground.

DJ Hyde has been trying to put out the sleaziest cash ins possible and this one flew under the radar. Tubi lists the release date as 2020, which means Deej put together and released a Brodie Lee cash in within days of his death. https://tubitv.com/movies/606928/brodie-lee-the-big-rig?start=true

It's nice that for the first time in a decade the indie wrestler people want to interview isn't a ring wing Proto trump or The Progressive Liberal type Fox News bait gimmick.

Davros1 posted:https://twitter.com/SeanRossSapp/status/1481056722009694208?s=20 Basically they are claiming WWE caused wrestlers to back out of agreements with MLW, tried to intimidate Vice into dropping them and the previously reported nixed Tubi deal. It's MLW they love putting out press releases but hey maybe they can get a settlement out of it.

Shlak missed the Markus Crane memorial death match as he was having trouble breathing and ended up in the hospital on a ventilator. He was able to send a picture and a message out which ended with "Gasping for air fuckin blows. No oxygen, only SHLAK Lol"
