Defy are back in Tacoma, Washington and this time they've got a special show in conjunction with Mexico's the Crash on tap!

4. Scenic City Invitational 2017 Semifinals & Finals

Yes, folks, the Scenic City Invitational is upon us once again. The south's premier indie wrestling tournament bar none, as always it's some prime "sit yourself down and walk away with a few new favorites" territory. 2016 winner Gunner Miller will surely be looking to repeat, but Anthony Henry (my personal pick to win the whole deal) and Joey Lynch, both standouts since the first SCI, will be looking to etch their names in history. Plus it's a swansong for Tank as the deathmatch legend ends his indie wrestling career, but he's chosen a hard row to hoe in Matt Riddle if he intends to win the whole thing.

Advanced ticket sales have ended, so if you want to go you'll have to take your chances at the door, but you can always catch the action on Powerbomb.tv later.

AAW Jawbreaker (August 5, 7PM Central)

10. AR Fox, Juventud Guerrera, & Rey Fenix vs. OI4K (Jake Crist & Sami Callihan) & ???

AAW are back in LaSalle, Illinois and hoo boy, I could just point out the excellent indie absurdity that is Keith Lee wrestling Bob Holly in the year of our lord 2017 and stop there, satisfied that my job was done well, but let's talk a little about the women's tournament they're starting here. Twelve women will be participating, with Veda Scott, Britt Baker, Kylie Rae, Candice LeRae, Allysin Kay, Delilah Doom, Su Yung, and Rachael Ellering's matches to come later, and the winner will take home the inaugural AAW Women's Championship home with them! Looks like it should be a lot of fun whne it's all said and done.

Get your tickets here or check it out when it goes up on Smart Mark Video and Highspots, folks.

6. Juan Francisco de Coronado (c) vs. Rory Gulak (Chikara Grand Championship)

It's Chikarasaurus Rex time and Chikara are back in the Wrestle Factory in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania once again. It's a full card of varied action, but the big exciting match here is the Grand Championship match. A rematch of the Johnny Kidd Invitational finals, Coronado claims Gulak's victory was a fluke and his mere presence in the tournament a result of solely his last name and his more famous brother Drew's importance to Chikara, so the stage is set for some real intense grudge match grappling, folks.

Get your tickets here or check this bad boy out LIVE on Chikaratopia this Saturday.

CZW Once in a Lifetime (August 5, 7:30PM Eastern)

1. Hideki Hosaka & Raijin Yaguchi vs. Storm of Entrails (Dan O'Hare & SHLAK) vs. the Awakening (G-Raver & Stockade)

3. Aerial Assault Match
4. Joey Janela vs. Lio Rush (THE FINAL CHAPTER)
5. Masada vs. Shane Strickland (c) (CZW World Heavyweight Championship)
6. Atsushi Onita vs. Father Matthew Tremont

CZW are back in Voorhees, New Jersey, and they're bringing hell with them.

Deathmatch legend Atsushi Onita, headed steadily towards an announced retirement later this year, will make one last stop in the United States to take on the best CZW has to offer, Father Matthew Tremont, and it's going to be an absolute war. A war that, for a variety of reasons, CZW will not even confirm stipulations for, besides assuring us that it is, indeed, a deathmatch. I can't wait, and that's without even talking up the LAST Janela/Rush, the return of the Aerial Assault Match, or anything else CZW have for us on Saturday!

Get your tickets here, or check this out LIVE through Highspots Wrestling Network!

6. Fred Yehi (c) vs. Martin Stone (FIP World Heavyweight Championship)

FIP are back in Ybor City, Florida and it's time to let out a good old-fashioned #FyeahFIP because they've got a hell of a card laid out featuring some of the south's finest. Hot off their shot at the Evolve tag titles, the Ugly Ducklings have a crack at the Hooligans, Martin Stone finally gets his somewhat delayed FIP WHC title shot, and the Southern Savior John Skyler looks to overcome Jon Davis to become the Florida Heritage Champion, plus Priscilla Kelly will make her first defense of the Shine Nova Title!

9. Cody Rhodes vs. Scorpio Sky

WrestleCircus are back in Austin, Texas with a show that legitimately was booked because it was the only day they could get Cody on, so they're making the most of it, by god. This one has a unique twist to Cody's formula of putting his ROH World Championship on the line, in that Scorpio Sky will only get a shot at it if Kevin Condron can beat Brandi Rhodes earlier in the night.

wXw are kicking off their next tour in style in their home base of Oberhausen, Germany, so why not let's take a look, eh? In large part the show is built around the idea of the (mostly) young upstarts RISE looking to knock off wXw's established stars once and for all, as Kiev takes on Ray, Colen takes on WALTER, A4 look to reclaim their tag titles from the Young Lions, and Bad Bones finds himself in the middle of a three-way against current champ Simmons and the undefeated Ilja Dragunov.

APW Weekly Episode 11

One of the perks of choosing the freebies for this section is I occasionally get to indulge myself in promoting one of my favorites, so, if you'll allow me... The fine folks over at APW have made their show all about grappling master and former Evolve World Champion Timothy Thatcher this week! Featuring matches against Rich Swann, Marty Scurll, and with Jeff Cobb against Reno Scum, check it out!

Fit Finlay vs. Sami Callihan

From the good people over at FloSlam, their free match comes from deep in Evolve's (now completely available through their service, along with all of Shine, most of Dragon Gate USA, and a good chunk of FIP) archive. During his last run as an active wrestler, Finlay wrestled Callihan twice for Evolve, this is their first clash, from Evolve 9. Don't miss it!

Donovan Dijak vs. Everett Connors vs. Shane Sabre

Big Mike Elgin's Glory Pro uploaded a real bounty of matches this week, folks! I'm choosing the PWR Championship triple threat main event to share with you, because who doesn't like a spot of action with Tall Don, but be sure to hit up their YouTube channel, where they've put a total of five matches up from the show.
