Man Watch These ... Vol. One:
Now this list isn't about the most over or the most popular or whatever. This list is simply a list of some of the performers on the Indy scene right now that are killing it - some are newcomers who you should start focusing on, and some are veterans taking their game to another level.
Elayna Black
I feel like I alerted you all to Black's brilliance just before things really started to take off for her. She has this crazy combination of Paige/Tessa Blanchard vibe. For as young as she is in life, she doesn't show that in the ring. She has an unbelievably high upside.
Would love to see her get a run with Beyond Wrestling sooner than later.
Miranda Alize
This 4'11 spitfire has come out of nowhere, for me. I know she had a cup of coffee with AEW in December and hopefully that means bigger thing's for Alize. Alize is small, but she's formidable in the ring. Much more convincing physically than say Riho.
Anthony Gangone
Another new to me talent, as I was never really a watcher of House of Glory up until the last couple months. If wrestling were a soap opera, he'd be Seth Rollins evil twin, as he looks very similar to Rollins except the nose. His match with Valentina Vazquez has over 4.7 million views on YouTube - so people know who the fuck he is, but I think the best is yet to come.
Ricky Starks
One major break out from NWAPowerrr is that of Ricky Starks. Starks reminds me the Rock dialed up to 20 if that's even possible. His promo's are jagged swords of spoken word like no poet can deliver. And anyone nick named Stroke Daddy must be payed attention to.
Blake Christian/Jordan Oliver
By now, if you follow wrestling on twitter, you know these young men's names. They were attacked by the Toxic Twitter Cult for a match that veterans and inside the box thinkers deemed "not wrestling," and or "dancing". They, however, took the high road and didn't let the negativity spin out of control. I can't wait to see where both men go in this business.
Allie Kat
She's not an unknown, but what she's done lately has been mind blowing. Working a series of matches in Game Changer Wrestling, Allie Kat has gone from Comedy Kat to Killer Kat. She is working hard to become the top billed woman on the indy scene and you gotta fucking respect that. I cannot wait to see what she does next.
Tony Deppen
Deppen is the best wrestler on the Independent scene. Every night he wrestles his match is most likely going to be one of the most talked about for several reasons: either it was a master class in wrestling, he was a complete asshole or both. He's got a great following, but more eyes need to be on this dude.
