Anthony Stone will battle Myke Quest to determine the stipulation for Stone's match against Nicholas Kaye at the next event.

The second big show this weekend happens at the Marchesa Theater in Austin, TX, as Inspire Pro Wrestling will promote Light the Fuse. Doors open at 5:30 PM local time, and the main event will be a huge match pitting former friends against each other for the Inspire Pro Championship. The Champ, Mike Dell, will battle his former friend and miraculous comeback story Franco D'Angelo, who went from not being able to walk to winning a shot at the title in his first match back at the last show. D'Angelo's co-conspirator, Matthew Palmer, has his own challenge ahead of him as he must try to lift the Heaviest Sumo in the Land, Jojo Bravo. Ray Rowe continues to stake his claim as Inspire's big match ace as he welcomes the challenge of Robert Evans, while ACH makes his final appearance in Texas for nine months as he battles Sammy Guevara.

PWX is back Sunday at Ziggy's in Winston-Salem, NC for a round of television tapings. The show starts at 5 PM local time, and it will be headlined by a title vs. title match. The winner of the Konley/Alexander match from the night before will put his PWX Championship against Matt Hardy's WrestleCade Championship.
If you love wrestling, then seeing it live is the best way to experience it. The big companies are good, but the local companies and national indies are the ones where the best new ideas and the up-and-coming wrestlers are doing work. They can't grow unless you support them. Besides, your favorite wrestling company or wrestler may be out there. You just don't know it yet.
