APW KING OF INDIES 8 [Review]: ‘Ultimo’ Dragon!

-KOI Tournament Match: Jeff Cobb vs. Fatu - Very solid opener and my first time seeing Jacob Fatu live.

EVOLVE 107 [Review]: The Roof Is On Fire?

Dominic Garrini w/ Stokely Hathaway v Josh Briggs This one was hard hitting to start the night out. Briggs was very much over with the Melrose crowd. I guess that's why he was sold out of his large and xl shirts before the intermission. A rather short match with a great finish that probably could …
