Those are two of the best. Most of the time I just look up the wrestler.....a lot of them have matches somewhere on Youtube.

Otherwise I do like you, Troy. I just search out matches for the newbies in each set. I tend to pick matches that feature two wrestlers in the FG library so I get to see two guys or gals in action that I am not familiar with. |

I've watched very little of them, but have heard Court Bauer interviewed a few times, and have been interested. Does it have a traditional feel, or is it more of a modern indie? Just curious, I'd really like to check out more of them at some point. |

I know this is not aimed at me but thought I'd chime in. MLW is actually what brought me back to the game. I cant sit through WWE and AEW is too all over the place for me.
I happened to catch one of their youtube shows and really loved everything about the show from their presentation to how they present stars. It feels to me as like how the business would have evolved from the territory days. Small strong roster that you find yourself getting behind and mad when people leave to be wasted elsewhere (coughs MJF, Pillman end cough).
It reminds me of a territory with a slick modern feeling. Trying to think of a negative and the only thing I can think of is the second announcer St Laurent, hes okay but nothing great. But yeah I was prolly done with pro wrestling till I caught this in September 2019 and then i started playing legends and champions again ...

Just curious, I'd really like to check out more of them at some point. Of all the indies I have seen (which isn't anywhere near what some on here watch), MLW feels maybe the most traditional. The wrestling itself is still very much a modern wrestling style but the fact that MLW has a 1 hour weekly show that features continuing storylines, feuds, factions, etc., not just a random bunch of matches. NWA is somewhat similar but they seem to have much shorter matches than MLW. I like short matches sometimes but not ALL the time. For me that is why I like them. |

Wasn’t expecting Tony, but this is awesome. Only four names in and this is one of the best sets I’ve seen in awhile.
EDIT - Surprised to see so many people not familiar with Tony, as I genuinely believe he is the best unsigned wrestler in the world right now. I am also going to suggest IWTV, as it is the best way to support true indie feds, and see who will likely be in the future sets. But, Beyond Wrestling has a ton of free matches on YouTube

Just curious, I'd really like to check out more of them at some point. their only real negative is their place in the industry and amount of power (or wealth) behind them. They always put out a good product. Jacob Fatu is a top tier guy in the business. WWE & AEW have signed so many guys, there is only so much talent to go around that would actually be draws for them & if a guy is that good, he likely won’t end up there as a 1st choice regardless how good the production is. Rumors say WWE is interested in working w them (cough...absolving them, see, 80’s territories, ECW, EVOLVE), so check them out while you still can before any kind of deal gets done w Vince. The Jacob Fatu will lose his belt to Jake Atlas & Hammerstone will be de-throned by Roderick Strong. Maybe the Von Erichs losing to the QAnon guys (Riker & what’s his name)? |

But, Beyond Wrestling has a ton of free matches on YouTube I can't stand feds like Beyond that have fans surrounding the ring, constantly pounding on it and yelling "funny" comments. That said, Beyond has had a ton of great talent come through and they post a lot of full matches on YouTube which is awesome! |

On the way home from work today I stopped at the grocery store to get dinner and while I was in line Deppen's entrance music We Built This City by Starship started playing. I am glad Deppen as expected got a good reaction. I hope tomorrow's Indy announcement also gets a good reaction too.  |
