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.

WEEKEND PREVIEW, NEWS & NOTES

This is a really quiet weekend for indy wrestling, as there are just few major shows.

AAW returns to action in the Chicago suburbs on Saturday, featuring Jerry Lynn, M-Dogg 20, Jimmy Jacobs and Arik Cannon. Details are below.

Combat Zone Wrestling also returns to action on Saturday in Philadelphia, Penn., at the New Alhambra Arena (former ECW Arena) featuring Jon Dahmer & Danny Demanto vs. Scotty Vortekz & Dustin Lee. More of the lineup is below.

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.
