Ring Of Honor- Raising the Bar (night 1)

This past Friday Ring of Honor came to Milwaukee, WI for night one of Raising the Bar.  I was lucky enough to shoot both of these events, and neither disappointed.

In addition to ROH's already stacked roster, the most internationally over tag team in the world, The Young Bucks, brought their superkick party to the midwest in really great exciting matches both nights.  In addition to the Bucks, stars like Kevin Steen, Roderick Strong, Chris Hero, Adam Cole, The Briscoes, Outlaw Inc, Michael Elgin, ACH, reDRagon, and so many more piled onto these cards to make these two shows really great.  Anyway, here's a glimpse of what went down in Milwaukee on night one:

Thanks for looking!

AAW ONE TWISTED CHRISTMAS

AAW returned last weekend with a stacked card featuring some of the biggest names in independent wrestling.  I won't even get into this match by match, but every match on this show was great.  One Twisted Christmas had something for every kind of wrestling fan:  an inter gender fans bring the weapons match, a 3 way tag team elimination contest, brawls, comedy, and just all around amazing pro wrestling.  Check out this dvd or VOD when it comes out, AAW is really picking up speed and gaining a lot of national attention as they continue to pack the Berwyn Eagles and delivering fantastic shows every month.  Davy Richards, Kevin Steen, Michael Elgin, Colt Cabana, Jimmy Jacobs, Silas Young, Eddie Kingston, Zero Gravity, Shane Hollister, Ethan Page, Matt Cage, and tons more all have great matches on this card:
