A group titled America's Most Liked Wrestling (AMIL) will be running 2/15 in Winston-Salem, NC at Johnny & Jules with Vordell Walker vs Sonjay Dutt and Brian Myers (Curt Hawkins) vs. Jaxson James. The promotion ran an angle on their January event where King Shane Williams nailed Scotty Mathews with a piledriver and Matthews was injured. They are playing up the move may be banned.
Mick Foley will be appearing at the 2/27 House of Glory return to the New York Arena in Jamaica, Queens. The promotion, run by Amazing Red and Brian XL in conjunction with their Glendale, Queens school of the same name, has been drawing 500-600 since debuting in the venue. A mix of bringing in one “known nameâ€, several names to appeal to hardcore fans and using their students underneath, sometimes in roles where they interact with the veterans, has worked so far. Red and Crimson, playing off their TNA relationship, are the current Tag Team champions. XL recently won the HOG championship from Ricochet (DGUSA/Prince Puma in Lucha Underground), so a rematch is likely here. Joey Janella and Anthony Gangone are a top heel team here.
Too Cool is reuniting for Great Britain’s Ultimate Pro Wrestling on 2/7 at the Westland Leisure Complex in Somerset, Great Britain. Rocky Romero of New Japan Pro Wrestling will also be working the show.
