Indies and Insanity: May 30, 2019

KAWHI! STEPH! SIAKAM! DRAYMOND! IT’S THE NBA FINALS ON ABC!  Game 1 from Toronto is tonight!

Meanwhile, the Women’s College World Series is underway.  Your evening doubleheader is Oklahoma St/Florida, followed by Alabama/Oklahoma.

Coming up, your look at the independent scene.  (Since someone asked, I consider WWE, NJPW, ROH, Impact, and AEW to be beyond the scope of my report.)

So here we go, with a look at the independent scene for the weekend!

• Hey, there’s no Super Viernes this week because Arena Mexico is playing host to Juicio Final, a CMLL supercard!  Three big Apuestas in this one: Ultimo Guerrero vs Mascaro Ano 2000, hair vs hair; La Amapola and Koha Kobayashi, hair vs hair; and Virus vs Metalico, career vs career!
• Saturday afternoon sees Black Label Pro return to their Indiana home gym for There’s Something About Barry!  In this case, the refer to Barry Windham, WWE Hall of Famer, doing a meet and greet.  Kobe Durst defends the big gold against Jordynne Grace in our main event, while Jake Parnell faces Nate Webb for the secondary title! Plus, we have Kylie Rae, Marko Stunt, Ethan Page, and FIST in action!
• MLW will be live on beIN Sport on Saturday with FURY ROAD!  If you tune in, you’ll see Brian Pillman face Alex Hammerstone for the National title, while Teddy Hart defends the Middleweight gold against Jimmy Havoc!  If you’re there, you get bonus matches including Davey Boy Smith Jr facing Maxwell Jacob Friedman!
• Your INDIE PROMOTION OF THE WEEK is wXw, who is going all-out with a Superstars of Wrestling supercard in their home base of Oberhausen on Saturday night!  Bobby Gunns defends the big belt against Joey Janela!  Walter faces the up-and-coming sensation Wheeler YUTA!  Aussie Open teams in a six-man with Hardcore Holly!  Marius Al-Ani takes on Ilja Dragunov!  And Veit Mueller gets his credentials tested right away against none other than Ken Shamrock!
• Sunday sees Glory Pro take over Collinsville, IL (across the river from Saint Louis, MO) for their Special Championship Edition!  Curt Stallion defends the Glory Pro title against Eddie Kingston!  Ethan Page defends the Freelance title against Hakim Zane!  Samantha Heights puts her Shimmer gold on the line against Shazza McKenzie!  And the Besties in the World face the Space Pirates for both the Glory Pro and Alpha-1 Tag Team Titles!

Also, in the big news last week: Kris Statlander defeated Orange Cassidy to become the 4th IWTV Independent Champion!  Congratulations!

Your INDIE MATCH OF THE WEEK is an AEW preview, as DOCTOR Britt Baker faces Kylie Rae in Zelo Pro from April!

Bring the insanity!
