I went to their July show. While there they announced both Lucha Bros and Joey Janela for their September show, but a couple days later they posted on Facebook they were shutting down operations until issues could be worked out with a sponsor. Belt’s been defended a couple times on other indie shows lately, but no one seems to be stepping up to bring the super indie concept to North Texas. That sucks. We went out in 2014 for the VIP 2nd anniversary show. Met the VIP owner. But haven't talked to him in at least a year. Sure it’s co-owned, but if you met Lou Gotti he’s stayed pretty active locally doing other shows. Dude does seem to live and breathe the business, it’s just sad that in a city this rich and hipster no one is making money putting on indie super cards.

Doomsday Wrestling is very fun in my opinion. Not sure how close to you they might be.

But he was using his shoot name. Will see Andy Dalton this Saturday,he is main eventing the BIW show in town. Will ask him about VIP. From what i saw VIP drew big crowds.

There are several good promotions out there
MPX DCW DFW All Pro Heroes of Wrestling SOAR
Those are just a few I can think of with some really cool local talent. They tend to bring in names from time to time, too. Has anyone checked any of these out?

There's a lot of great talent in the area. Any thoughts of who could go out there and do some big things?
DTF (Andy Dalton, Scott McKenzie, Brent McKenzie, & Machiko) Barrett Brown Gregory James Jerome Daniels Chandler Hopkins Impact Players (Tommy Becker, Dave Segan, & Ryan Remington) Moonshine Mantell The Hoarde Ricky Starks Fun n Sexy (Phoebe & Baby D)
Who else can we add to this? Has anyone seen any of the above?

Has anyone seen any of the above? Been watching Andy Dalton since 2012. Same with Barrett. Ricky Starks been watching since 2010. Jerome Daniels I have seen once. Moonshine was huge in Brookhaven. Have you seen Danny Chance? No clue what TX feds he works for. But he has become huge in Brookhaven. Went from being the unknown guy in a tag match back in Feb. To now being the second most over baby face at the Nov 3rd show.

Barret Brown, Chandler Hopkins, Kody Lane, and Jerome Daniels are all guys I could see making a splash elsewhere. I think the latter two recently did some work with Beyond Wrestling, which could get them some national profile.

He is going to start working more Evolve shows. Which means he is on WWEs radar.

Anyone been going to any shows lately? I check every couple weeks, but I’m not going to a show with no “names” on it. Inspire Pro in Austin has MJF vs. PCO and ACH vs. Ricky Starks announces for their January show. Might try and go to that.

Why not? A lot of these promotions aren't charging an arm or a leg to attend and you may find some local talent you really like.

For the same reason I won’t go see a bunch of local bands play these days, but if they’re opening for someone I’m a fan of I’ll watch the set. A “name” implies a certain level of quality, im happy to watch local guys on the card but they aren’t going to be enough to get me in the door.

What surprises me is TX has one of the best groups of indie talent in the states. But most of them are unknown outside TX. If it wasn't for BIW using lots of TX guys and ladies on there shows in my rural MS town I wouldn't know them. And tickets being 10 bucks helps.

It's on us, as fans, to try and get these guys/girls names out there. I'm sure they would love to get out of Texas.

The RISE women's promotion is coming to Houston in January and teaming up with Booker T's ROW for a show.

Dallas Championship Wrestling and Sabotage are co-promoting a “War Of The Genders” show for January. Thunder Rosa, Leva Bates, Kody Lane, Andy Dalton, Fuegl Del Sol, and a bunch of other locals. I’m somewhat intrigued, although I don’t really get what people see in Dalton. Being really gross isn’t much of a gimmick.
Although Inspire Pro just announced Nick Gage as the replacement for PCO vs MJF at their show the next day.... Maybe time for another Austin trip instead.

The DCW/Sabotage show looks interesting. Any of the advertised matches with local talent interest you?

And works well against pretty much anyone. In BIW he tones down the gross stuff. Plus it helps that his Dad used to wrestle in this area. And Andy is a blast to chat with. Dude knows so much about the history of wrestling in the deep south.
