Welcome to yet another Indy Report. As promised, if you haven't seen your favorite promotion highlighted in the last two Reports of the last week or so, you may want to check the news below, as there has been a remarkable amount of news and results as of late. With summer really starting to get going, promoters really are getting into their full summer schedules. Furthermore, with WWE currently being the only full-time national promotion, there are plenty of "big names" from the past to highlight shows, as evidenced yet again in this Report.

One of the major treats of the indies is to be taken back to great old memories of "wrestling the way it was" in a prior generation. Indy wrestling, despite its admitted shortcomings and flaws at times, has a very unique way of doing just that. For instance, as you'll see below, All Access Wrestling is advertising, for their August 17 card, two of Skandar Akbar's men in Devastation Inc. to wrestle. Certainly, hearing or seeing Skandar Akbar and Devastation Inc. can only conjure up images for fans in their mid-20's and older that grew up in the Midwest of late, great mid-80's AWA weekly television shows. Whether you were a fan in the 80's of the AWA, Mid-South, NWA, or WWF, there are some names below, and in most other Reports, that take you back to that great boom for wrestling.

Well, having walked briefly down a nostalgic path, and due to the frequency of the Reports as of late, I'm going to cut to the chafe – here is the news!:

RESULTS

NWA – ACW, 6/6, Green Bay WI
Culture Shock and Chris Jordan defeated Young Stars and John Johnston. In a Midwest X Title match, Austin Aries won an eight-way elimination. In a NWA-ACW Tag Title match, Champions Mason Quinn and Adam Evans retained their belts against Southern Mississippi Militia. "Straight Edge" Eric Hammers defeated Adrian Serrano.

In a Heritage Tag Team Title match, The Brothers Of Pain beat The Well Hung Warriors to regain the titles. In a weird moment, The Brothers Of Pain threw the tag team belts down and left and thus, Frank Talent ordered the Championships declared vacant.
