PWG - Arguably the top US indy currently. Less of a traditional promotion, PWG is a hangout for wrestlers across the indies to go all out and have fun. Shows can be exhausting, and the delay from show to release is maddening. Worth it.

ROH - Ring of Honor was historically the #2 or 3 promotion in the US, but the lustre has gone as of late. Yoshi-Hashi main eventing in 2017 is all you need to know. There are a lot of talented guys there however, as well as a New Japan partnership. Their back catalog still holds up.

ICW - Staunchly adult focused wrestling from Scotland. The attitude era worship is evident, and may not be for everyone. That said, a lot of great UK talent, and weekly TV show content as well as live events. They're about to run the same venue WWE is taping TV in, and for an indy, that merits attention.
