| Big weekend for Sami Callihan Photo Credit: Scott Finkelstein |
As with any weekend, there is a ton of pro wrestling going on over the next couple of days. However, it's not just for people who want to venture out locally. There a couple of companies providing iPPV action, one of which is actually doing it for FREE. So, if you are indoors and you want something fun to watch, well, you have options. But if you do want to venture out into the world, you have options too. If you don't see any shows in your area below, you can always hit up Pro Wrestling Events and see what's playing in your area.
But yeah, by far the main event this weekend is happening in upstate New York. Squared Circle Wrestling (2CW) is coming to iPPV on Saturday, but they have an entire weekend of action lined up. Tonight, 2CW invades Rome, NY at the Kennedy Arena. Doors will open at 6 PM. There's a huge dual main event; the first half sees Kevin Steen defending his 2CW Championship against Isys Ephex, who has been on a warpath the last couple of months to get a shot at the title. The second half will feature a rematch from last year, when Sami Callihan challenges John Morrison. Also on the show, Christina von Eerie will battle a mystery opponent (unfortunately replacing Rachel Summerlyn, who is injured), and Steve Corino and Jimmy Jacobs will challenge Punisher van Slyke and Kevin Graham for their 2CW Tag Team Titles.
The main event of the weekend happens Saturday. The live show will happen in Watertown, NY, at the Watertown Fairgrounds Arena. However, you can watch from the comfort of your own home for free via iPPV stream. If you're going live, the doors open at 5 PM, but the broadcast starts at 8 PM. The main event will feature Steen vs. Morrison in a match that will be for the 2CW Championship if Steen escapes alive against Ephex the night before. If not, then I assume Ephex's Stairway to Hell match against Jason Axe will be for the belt. Also on the card, Callihan will wrestle Matt Hardy, Colt Cabana will take on Slyck Wagner Brown, promotion founding father Spike Dudley will take on Masada, and TERRY FUNK will respond to the challenge laid down by Steen. TERRY FN FUNK.
Also on iPPV tonight is SHINE 9. That's not for free, but hey, it'll be well worth your money in my opinion. This card looks like it'll the strongest one that the company has put out yet, at least on paper. Check it out on WWN Live, as the action starts at 9 PM. If you're going out there live? It's at the Orpheum in Ybor City, FL. The main event will be an Arkham Asylum Steel Cage match between Leva Bates and Kimberly. However, the real money is on the undercard, which features qualifying matches for the SHINE Championship tournament. The four qualifying matches include Angelina Love vs. Rain, Saraya Knight vs. Su Yung, Ivelisse Velez vs. Jazz, and Madison Eagles vs. Jessicka Havok. All four of those matches look great, but I'll be goddamned if Velez/Jazz and Eagles/Havok especially don't turn out to be legit Match of the Year candidates. Also on the show, Evie will make her SHINE debut against Mercedes Martinez.
St. Louis Anarchy also has a great show on tap tonight at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Alton, IL, doors opening at 7 PM local. Darin Corbin will be defending his SLA Championship against Mat Fitchett, but the main draw on this card will more than likely be ACH taking on Davey Richards in a rematch over a year in the making. Also, the Hooligans will defend their Tag Team Championships against Evan Gelistico and Gerald "Gary Jay" James, while Dingo, Kyle O'Reilly, Shane Hollister, and Davey Vega collide in a four-way match.
Finally for tonight, Prime Wrestling will be running the Agora Ballroom in Cleveland, OH, at 8 PM local time. Gregory Iron and Zach Gowen will take on Marion Fontaine and Jeremy Madrox for the Tag Championships. Also appearing on the show will be Johnny Gargano, Bobby Beverly, Rickey Shane Page, and Facade.
Tomorrow night in Gibsonville, NC at the Mid-Atlantic Sportatorium, CWF Mid-Atlantic will be opening its doors at 7 PM local time for good ol' fashioned rasslin' action. Arik Royal defends his Mid-Atlantic Championship against Tough Man Tournament winner Matt Smith. Also, Chiva Kid will appear to respond to having his mask stolen at the end of Madness in All Directions, and what do you know, Trevor Lee, the man who stole it, will also be there. Should be volatile!
NWA Houston will have a HUGE card tomorrow as well at theVFW Post #8905 in Cypress, TX Houston Athletic Fencing Center in Houston, TX. Rob Conway will defend his newly won NWA World Heavyweight Championship against none other than Chris Masters. The Tag Championships will be on the line as well, as the Kings of the Underground, Scot Summers and Ryan Genesis, battle Harry Smith and Lance Archer (otherwise known as Lance Hoyt or Vance Archer). Carson also gets a crack at Damien Wayne's National Championship.
Wrestling Is Heart makes its debut on Saturday, featuring the graduates of the School of Roc Wrestling Academy. The doors at the Tippecanoe County Fairgrounds in Lafayette, IN, will open at 1:30 PM local, and the main event features Green Ant teaming up with Mat Russo against Mark Angelosetti and Joe Pittman. Also on the show, Saturyne teams with Heidi Lovelace against Los Ice Creams, and Reed Bentley takes on his teacher, Billy Roc.
Pro Wrestling Collision will be running from the Carbondale Civic Center in Carbondale, IL with a benefit show at 2 PM on Saturday. The proceeds benefit Adam Testa and Aaron Heller, who lost their home in a fire earlier this. Finally, at 22 Austin Street in Rossdale, GA, Empire Pro Wrestling will be running yet another of their weekly shows for $5 admission at 8 PM local, including appearances by Cyrus the Destroyer and Corey Hollis.
There are barely any weekends where there isn't a lot going on, and this weekend is no exception. Whether you stay at home and watch on iPPV or whether you go live, please support wrestling in your area.
