Torch Indy Reporter Chris Vetter sees dozens of indy shows all over the Midwest, and regularly watches & reviews indy DVDs. His reports covering the entire U.S. Indy Scene are usually published exclusively here at PWTorch.com every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

WEEKEND RESULTS, NEWS & NOTES

I have all the results from the weekend, with a new “Super Indy” champion in IWC, a new Shimmer women’s champion, and all the other news for the weekend.

Jerry Lynn, who won the ECWA “Super 8” last year, continues his impressive streak on the indy scene by winning the IWC “Super Indy” tournament on Friday. He defeated ROH/PWG regular Davey Richards in the finals. The stacked show also featured Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley and Sandman, and you can read those results below.

Full Impact Pro returned to Florida. A report I read said the crowd size was down a bit, but it featured some great action, including another Roderick Strong-Erick Stevens battle, this time won by Strong.

And in Shimmer Women’s Athletes in suburban Chicago, MsChif won the women’s title from Sara Del Rey. The show was sold out – tickets have been gone for more than a month – and the crowd got nearly seven hours of action for the two tapings. No Nikki Roxx (Roxxi Laveaux), but prettymuch the rest of the roster was on hand. Results of the super-taping are below.

National Wrestling Superstars boasted a crowd of nearly 300 in Manville, N.J., for its “Chris Candido Memorial Jersey J-Cup” tournament. Results are below.

In other news…

Booker T will make his Jersey All Pro debut on May 31, when he faces JAPW regular Jay Lethal. Also on the show will be LAX, Frankie Kazarian, and Chris Hero.


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.
