Hey yo! Friday has arrived, and all the cool kids are going to see wrestling shows! Don't you want to be a cool kid this weekend? Then go see a show! I will be previewing a few here, but if you don't find a show in your area below, you can always go to Pro Wrestling Events and get your live event hookup there.
AAW leads off with a charity show tonight benefiting the Jimmy Durante Children's Fund. If you can't make it out to Berwyn for the show, then check out the Fraternal Order of Eagles site for information on how you can help this charity that helps children who are victims of disease or abuse. The doors at the Berwyn Eagles Club in Berwyn, IL, open at 7PM local time. No matches have been announced, but the list of talent includes Keith Walker, Lamar Titan, Dan Lawrence, Da Soul Touchaz, Angelus Layne, Christian Rose, Matt Cage, and many more.
Down in Georgia, Deep Southern Championship Wrestling vacates their normal Saturday show date for Friday and Sunday this weekend. Tonight's show will be at the DSCW Arena in Blue Ridge, GA, with a door open time of 7PM local. In the main event, Kyle Matthews will defend his AIWF Championship against Chip Hazard. Also appearing on this show will be Cyrus the Destroyer, Drew Delight, and KT Hamill. Sunday's show will take place at Rose Auto Accessories in Blairsville, GA. The show starts at 3PM, and it is an outdoor event where you bring your own chair. Hazard, among others, will be appearing at this show as well.
Saturday, we head up into Canada for Ring of Honor action. The company will present All-Star Extravaganza 5 at 7:30PM local time at the Mattemy Athletic Center in Toronto, ON. There will be six first-round matches in the ROH World Championship tournament: Kevin Steen vs. Brian Kendrick, Paul London vs. Michael Elgin, Roderick Strong vs. Matt Taven, Michael Bennett vs. BJ Whitmer, Tomasso Ciampa vs. Silas Young, and Adam Cole vs. Jay Lethal. Those six matches form a pretty strong slate.

The Main Event in Porterdale, GA, plays host to Platinum Championship Wrestling at 6PM on Saturday. "Dynomite Soul" Eric Walker was able to keep from getting swept in his best of seven series against Fred Yehi last time they met. Can he stave off elimination further?
