(NOTE: Let's avoid ROH, TNA, OVW and other fairly big promotions, otherwise they'd dominate. This is for the little guys)
Is your local indy on Youtube? If so, post a few links to show off what's going on in your area.
Let's keep it fairly current (last 4-5 years or so).

www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRUcqVJGW_AThis is CWA Pro Wrestling based out of Orangeburg, SC. They're starting to become a big Indy and getting involved with TNA a little bit. EDIT: This is Part 1 of 3 of the Josh Magnum-AJ Styles match from late 2006 I believe.

Chaotic Wrestling is probably the biggest one nearest to where I live. You might remember that it's the same promotion that John Cena and Vince McMahon made an appearance for a month or so ago.

They were closed down from 2003-2006. But they opened back up in February of 2006 with a new co-owner. www.myspace.com/marylandwrestlingThey have a 2006 YIR on there. All star cast. Mind you the music they put on the page

Well here in St. Louis we had Gateway Championship Wrestling which I believe is now closed. But it was a great federation that brought Delrious to the wrestling world which I saw him live in 02. This is were he came from. They have brought in some familer names such as RVD just before he went to the WWE after ECW went. Nova who was with RVD. The Sandman a couple years ago. Kid Kash and Jerry Lynn were almost regulars for a goood 6 months. Ace Steele wrestled there last year which I saw him live and he was cool. I yell him to do an armbar and he did it and pointed to me which was funny. The only You tube match I found was from last year that features Delrious www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNnqJTWefFAI know there is a new federation that a lot of the GCW talent went too but I can't remember the name or have I been to there shows like I have GCW.

There are a few Indy feds in Western Pennsylvania, but the biggest (and by far, the best) is the International Wrestling Cartel (IWC). Simply put, IWC is what the old ECW would have been like if Paul Heyman bothered to make it more "family friendly." I know that that sounds odd, but it works. As for the roster, they have an interesting mix of local/regional talent (Dennis Gregory, Jason Gory, Shiima Xion, Ray Rowe), Indy guys (Larry Sweeney, Ricky Reyes, Brent Albright, Abyss), and guys who seem to fit both categories (Sterling James Keenan). Now, for the links... www.dailymotion.com/relevance/search/IWC/video/xg441_iwc-matt-hardy-vs-aj-styles_extreme - AJ Styles vs. Matt Hardy www.youtube.com/results?search_query=IWC+wrestling&search=Search - IWC on YouTube (mostly recap videos and promos) www.youtube.com/watch?v=0W5jElhYVGQ - Chris Sabin vs. Super Indy champion John McChesney (It's actually from an October 2003 episode of TNA Xplosion, but it doubles as a great advertisement for IWC.)

Fight Club Finland is Finland's only "real" wrestling promotion at the moment. Their roster consists mostly of homegrown talent (some of the wrestlers are pretty good), but in the past we've had guys such as Jody Fleisch, Michael Kovac, Bernard Vandamme and Steve Corino (who is basically a wrestling god around these parts and is married to a Finnish woman nowadays) wrestling at the shows as well. Here's a highlights package of a match between two guys whose names no one here can pronounce (for some reason one of them looks like a cross between Necro Butcher and one of the Highlanders...): youtube.com/watch?v=fmHmFfl3sT0

No Excuses was one of the best indy shows Ive been to in the last 5 years. Simply awesome wrestling and storylines, with literally ZERO production value. Amazing stuff up here. www.iwcwrestling.com
