People shit on it for a good reason.....If you do stupid shit.....That's all we're going to remember.

Indie crap and their hispter fans thinking their dumbshit is just plain old fun while taking everything TNA or WWE does as matter of fact seriousness.

Yeah real funny @Deezy

OP is asking for Indie promotions, I'm delivering the best possible.

PROGRESS, ICW, RevPro also on the list as already mention.

To lighten the mood here's Kenny Omega kicking a girl in the head and forever pissing off Jim Cornette...

Find me something that doesn't and I'd be impressed.

As for indie promotions, aside from NJPW, PROGRESS is the only promotion that consistently entertains me for an entire show so I'd highly recommend them. Lucha Underground is p. good as well.

DDT put on some breathtaking matches at a frequent rate.
Yeah but most people see Ibushi taking a Canadian Destroyer from a sex doll or Kenny Omega wrestling a 9 year old and have one of two reactions:
"This is fucking stupid, this is bullshit, this kills the business", aka the Cornette or "Heyyyyy, that's pretty good, I wanna watch more".

I find most people have the first reaction and automatically assume that it's all DDT does and don't realise how good it can actually be.

This match ain't even DDT, it's Stardom but go ahead and be an uppity prick about it despite how little you know.

5 Best DDT Matches:
Kenny Omega vs Kota Ibushi - DDT 2012 - ****3/4
Daisuke Sekimoto vs Kota Ibushi - DDT 2010 - ****3/4
Harashima & Ken Ohka vs Hiroshi Tanahashi & Yohei Komatsu - DDT 2015 - ****1/2
Danshoku Dino & Yoshihiko vs Kenny Omega & Kota Ibushi - DDT 2009 - ****1/2

Harashima vs Shigehiro (Whatever his last name is I can't spell ffs) - DDT 2016 - ****1/2

I don't know if the "uppity prick" is directed at me or Deezy but I never said the gif I posted was from DDT. Just a clip of something Kenny Omega has done to add to Cornette's frustration with him. Omega definitely wrestled a blowup doll in DDT tho.

It wasn't at you, it was at the uppity prick.

DDT makes people hate wrestling so much they have a show on Japan's premier sports network, have the funds to launch multiple off-shoots, launch their own streaming network, and frequently draw 1000+ attendees.

Do some research. Watch some matches.
