As usual, a couple quick notes before I start the indy update. First, I made a mistake in my last indy report. The results I attributed to NWA Virginia were actually New South Wrestling Alliance in Louisiana. The results were correct, but the group was not. My apologies to all involved.

Also, a piece of news from Steven Conway out of ACW. All-Championship Wrestling (ACW) based in Louisville, KY has changed its name to Metro Wrestling Alliance. Shows will still be held at the expanded and improved MWA Arena every Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. You can get more information at their website, which is still http://www.acwrestling.8k.com.

And the usual note to send all concise indy news notes, results, and feedback to me at indynews@pwtorch.com.
