I love hearing about these smaller indies. You know the ones that unless you live in the area you don't hear about.
When I moved from right outside Houston TX to a small town about an hour away from Jackson MS I didn't think there would be so much indy wrestling near me.
1.Pro Wrestling EGO-They run the Jackson MS area.Usually having a show each month. They also hold the annual Great Southern 8. Were 8 wrestlers from 8 southern states compete in a one night single elimination tournament. If you search for Pro Wrestling EGO on Youtube you will find almost all of the past 4 GS8 shows. The second one was won by Sugar Dunkerton.
From earlier this year. Barry Wolf was #500 in the PWI 500 in 2010.The Nightmare Known as Jeremiah won the MS indy wrestling wrestler of the year last year and also won the Great Southern 8 last year. And finally The Prince of Pain Joe Kane. Joe has been wrestling all over the deep south area for right at 20 years now.
2.NWA Bayou Independent Wrestling-They are based out of Monroe LA,yeah the same town the Duck Dynasty folks are in. But starting in fall of 2013 they would hold 4 to 5 shows a year in my town. In 2014 a group of us local fans started filming matches from the crowd. Which morphed into 3 of us becoming the BIW camera crew and commentary crew when they came here. BIW uses lots of TX based NWA wrestlers. And this past May had a fun show which had Ted Dibiase Sr. The biggest name they use regularly is Vordell Walker. But they also use people like Tim Storm,Barrett Brown/Americos and former TNA guy John Saxon.
From 2014. We got Tim Storm teaming with Steve Anthony vs John Saxon and Barrett Brown. Tim is a former NWA North American Champion. Steve Anthony beat Jushin Liger for the NWA World Jr title earlier this year. John Saxon is another long time vet of the deep south scene. And Barrett Brown is one of the best cruiserweights in the indy scene. Having worked a bunch of matches for ROH the past 2 years.
3.Powerslam Productions-Ran by former FCW wrestler and WWE ref Wes Adams. Powerslam is one of the longest running indy feds in Mississippi. Sometimes they will bring in big names,like Stevie Richards,Viscera,Taryn Terrel and Doc Gallows. I love that they run at least 3 shows a year in a community little theater. Which makes for a great atmosphere.
From last years Wrestlefestivus show. Wes Adams vs Calvin Rose. These two have been feuding for right at 3 years now. Adams wrestled in Deep South Wrestling then when that was closed got moved to FCW. He also reffed for WWE,mostly on the ECW show. Calvin is a vet of the MS indy scene.
So fellow FANs if you have a local indy fed,what is it and let us know something about it.
