In 2008, two of the biggest wrestling superstars in the world made appearances inside a high school gym for a small event featuring the wrestling debut of Ric Flair's son, Reid Flair. Reid teamed with his brother, David to go up against Knobbs and Sags, The Nasty Boys. Ric Flair would accompany his sons to the ring while Jimmy Hart is managing The Nasty Boys
UWA Hardcore was a promotion based on Canada, they brought in a lot of American indy talent as well as international stars.
International Wrestling Cartel is a promotion based out of Western Pennsylvania, created in 2001 off the heels of a hot promotion in the mid-1990s called Steel City Wrestling. Steel City was founded by Norm Connors and was one of the top promotions on the East Coast before closing in 2000. A year later, Norm would start the International Wrestling Cartel and used a lot of the same SCW stars as well the new generation of young and up and coming indy stars. IWC became a major player on the East Coast by running the Super Indy tournament, won by AJ Styles, Colt Cabana, and Chris Sabin.
In 2007, at their annual Christmastime event, A Call to Arms, a first time ever dream match between Samoa Joe and 2 Cold Scorpio took place. IWC hosted many dream matches over the years and they always delivered. As many great matches that both wrestlers have had, this is not one of them, unfortunately. I knew this match existed, however I never watched it and felt the need to post it. Sometimes dream matches sound great on paper but the execution just doesn't work out and this is an example of that.
Samoa Joe is still wrestling, appearing with AEW where he is currently the ROH Television Champion. 2 Cold Scorpio is continuing to wrestle for various independents including GCW and Black Label Pro.
USA Xtreme Wrestling is another incarnation of USA Pro Wrestling, run by Frank Goodman. Around 2005, Frank changed the name assumingly to draw in more hardcore fans to his shows despite almost filling each building he ran. The name fit the independent scene in that era and it stood out more than simply USA Pro Wrestling although most fans still referred to it as USA Pro.
Sabu is fresh off his WWECW run, having been released in May 2007. Dustin Rhodes was released from WWE in 2006 and moved around the independent scene around the country for a year or so before joining TNA in July 2007. This is the only singles match to ever occur between Sabu and Dustin Rhodes.
The Jersey J-Cup was one of the most prestigious tournaments in wrestling, being held from 2000 to 2004. The talent that came through to wrestle in the tournament in 4 short years is unparalleled.
In this second round tournament match, the newly signed WWE Superstar, CM Punk takes on current AEW star, Jay Lethal. Both wrestlers were working their way up through the ranks on the indy scene at this point. For most of 2003, CM Punk was in a vicious and violent feud with Raven in ROH, TNA, and MLW! Jay Lethal was working for his home promotion of JAPW and ROH as Hydro, part of the Special K stable! This would be their first singles match against one another.

Atsushi Onita and FMW released a video game in 1993 for the Super Famicom in Japan. Not a lot of people know this even exists.
Few wrestlers have had a year that Edward Dusk has had. It seems that no-one has the answer to the Sacrament, with Dusk proving that he’ll do whatever it takes to win in his environment.
Dusk has shown that he is as ruthless as he is smart, and that’s a truly dangerous combination, and no-one knows that better than Adam Brooks.

I've been saying the same thing about "selling" for years but as I've said and will keep saying, this current era either doesn't know HOW to 'sell', or they just don't WANT to 'sell'. And if guys like Cornette and Dibiase say a lot of what I say on the topic then HHMMM, guess I'm not wrong, am I (smiles).

The Eastern Wrestling Alliance has returned to Maine. They recently had a show on the 18th of November in Sanford, Maine and have a return show in Sanford come February.
Back in late 1998 Until 1999 I had worked for the EWA which at the time was owned by James St Jean. The following is an article I had written years ago about my time there which is on a no longer used Angelfire page. https://prowrestlingtapes.angelfire.com/ewa.html
At that time they were running Lewiston, Auburn and a few other places. I remember going to Farmington Maine, Oxford Maine and when they started doing regular shows in Portland, I was there. They even did a show in Wakefield Massachusetts while I was working there. Setting up chairs, selling tapes (theirs and my own) and even got them a date at Dartmouth College in Hanover, NH that had Jacques Rougeau vs Steve Keirn in a main event.
I'm actually glad to see the return of the EWA to Maine. A few of the people who ever originally there when I worked there are involved in this new venture so I look forward to seeing more about this company and adding them to the vast variety of indy groups that are posted here. I no longer live in NH cause if i was, Sanford is like maybe a fifteen minute drive from where I lived in Rochester, and about thirty minutes from Dover and Somersworth (the other two places I had lived when I was there).
Here's information (so far) about their upcoming show in February.
Thank you Sanford and our fans for welcoming us back last Sat!
Our next event will be EWA: Catching Fire on February 3rd at the Sanford Memorial Gymnasium!
More details & when tickets go on sale coming soon! Follow us on all our social media for updates!
Here's a video of old EWA highlights 1998-2000, at the five minute mark you'll see a clip of Dr. Everett Payne get into the ring with Frankie Armadillo. I'm sitting at ringside and you'll see me and them yell shit back and forth. doing 'the plant thing' while working these shows was always tons of fun. Also on here are early clips of the woman who would later become known as, Lufisto.

It looks like that apparently, all the wrestling news sites and 'journalists' that covered his arrest, guess what, GOT IT WRONG!
You wanna bet that these sites (you know who they are, PWInsider, Wrestlinginc, Meltzer & Alvarez's WON/F4W, NO DQ Wrestling, Sportskeeda, I can go on and on) bother to admit they got it wrong? Let's see which site has them kind of balls, and if one does, I'll post that they do, but as in 99% of all the other times they get it wrong, they'll just hide the fact they got it wrong, like they always do.
