Torch Indy Reporter Chris Vetter travels thousands of miles each year to see dozens of indy shows all over the Midwest. His reports covering the entire U.S. Indy Scene are usually published exclusively here at PWTorch.com every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

MIDWEEK REPORT, NEWS & NOTES

My apologies for the tardiness in my reports of late! I’ve been busy with non-wrestling matters.

Low Ki has reportedly suffered a knee injury on a tour in Japan, so he has vacated the PWG title. A new champion will be crowned at the Feb. 24 show.

Nora “Molly Holly” Greenwald returned to the ring last weekend in a St. Paul suburb, teaming with Ryan Cruz to defeat Arya Daivari & the C.E.O. Results are below.

Absolute Intense Wrestling in Ohio has announced that Tyrone Evans has signed a WWE developmental deal, and his final date with AIW will be on Feb. 24.

Alex Shelley, Mike Quackenbush and Davey Richards all competed for Lethal Wrestling Alliance in Illinois over the weekend, and those results are below.

Ring of Honor has moved its March 15 show to Sunday afternoon, March 16, in Philadelphia.

And you can always reach me with your indy results at chrisjvetter@hotmail.com. I request that you remember to say date, location (including building, city & state!), and full name of the promotion.
