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 REPORT, NEWS & NOTES

And there about 300 fans at the F1rst Wrestling show I attended in Minneapolis. As expected, ODB was wildly over as she wound up competing in a fun, comedy tag match.

I also have Chikara results from their shows Saturday & Sunday, featuring Mike Quackenbush, Delirious, Claudio Castagnoli and more.

Awesome Kong appeared in a tag match for CWA in Columbia, S.C., on Friday. Results are below.

Demolition reunited Saturday to beat Greg “the Hammer” Valentine and a partner in IAW in Indiana.

BJ Whitmer has suffered a hand injury and is out of action. It is significant enough of an injury that he’s been pulled out of the IWA Mid-South TPI at the end of September.

In other news…

Pro Wrestling Guerrilla has posted the lineups for its All Star Weekend shows at the end of the month, and I’ve got them below. The big news is that Low Ki is back in action after a leg injury has left him sidelined. Both nights look really good!

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.
