Torch Indy Weekend Report: Fire Ant, Davey Richards, Honky Tonk Man, Eugene
Jun 17, 2008 - 2:44:05 PM


By Chris Vetter, torch contributor

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 and Friday.

WEEKEND RESULTS, NEWS & NOTES

Honky Tonk Man and Eugene won their respective matches in Heavy on Wrestling in Superior, Wis., on Saturday.

The masked high-flyer Fire Ant won the Chikara Pro “Young Lions Cup” tournament over the weekend. If you re-read any of my Chikara Pro DVD reviews, you’ll see that I’ve written a lot of positive comments about Fire Ant in the past two years. Congrats to him on winning this tournament.
