This month we take the time to remember the real heroes of wrestling.... not the world champs, or the challengers, not the limousine riders or kiss stealers. They are the forgotten sons of plumbers, they don't have fans that they can call suffix-maniacs, they are not Macho Kings, or Million Dollar Men, they belong to no KLIQ or World Order and they are certainly not the best there ever will be. For them the Smackdown Hotel is the Ritz Carlton, and if they crossed the boss they'd be fired... This month we remember those who won not in the ring but in our hearts
These men live up to the great Latin Motto:
Suspenderet Me
Redde Me Pecunia

http://wwnlive.com - $9.99 per ppv.
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.
http://www.prowrestlingguerrilla.com/merch/ - $15/DVD $20/Blu-Ray On Demand/Never
PROGRESS - The top of the bustling UK indy scene. More of a storyline focus than a lot of indies, with great matches and a hot crowd. You're missing out. Get on 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.
Past Events @ http://rohwrestling.com/membership - $7.99/month Weekly TV every Thursday @ http://rohwrestling.com/tv/current/Free Current PPV's $15-35/show
Lucha Underground - A TV show about a Wrestling show. Great matches with Lucha stars, combined with TV style drama and stories. Last season ended, the promotion is probably dead.

SHIMMER - Top US women's promotion. Has hosted the likes of Beth Phoenix, Becky Lynch, Paige, Asuka, Natalya, Mickie James, Ember Moon, Blue Pants, Nikki Cross and more. No On Demand, which is frustrating, as is their release schedule. They're currently about a year and a half behind.
https://shimmerwrestling.blogspot.co.uk/p/dvds.html - $15/DVD
Dragon Gate - Japanese promotion focused around speed and factions. The process for watching their live events is complicated, and documented below.

"http://www.clarosports.com/en-vivo02 I think on fridays, and streams on youtube too for the Monday and Tuesday shows: https://www.youtube.com/user/VideosOficialesCMLL"
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.
https://icwondemand.pivotshare.com/ - $6.99/month
