I've been trying to find some really good indie promotions recently. I've seen a lot of ROH, Evolve and such. I just want to find a great promotion with really good matches. Any recommendations?

they don't really do stories, it mostly dream matches. I think the last real feud they had was Hero/Tornado from 2008.

Roderick Strong vs. Zack Sabre Jr. - Don't Sweat The Technique [03.04.2015]
Bryan Danielson vs. Chris Hero - Guerre Sans Frontières [04.09.2009]
El Generico vs. Kevin Steen - Steen Wolf [22.10.2011]
Candice LeRae & Joey Ryan vs. Matt Jackson & Nick Jackson - ELEVEN [26.07.2014]
Akira Tozawa & Kevin Steen vs. El Generico & Ricochet - All Star Weekend 8 Night 1 [27.05.2011]
Claudio Castagnoli vs. El Generico - Battle of Los Angeles [20.08.2011]

I'll probably have to go back and watch but i'm sure there are tons more.

I've really cut down my indy watching the past year so idk what's good, but if you're into crazy, whacky, weird and a little Spanish. Lucha Underground could be your thing. I've seen the first 2 seasons, some interesting stuff.

Indie promotions my guy

NXT is a pretty independent in and of itself.

There's not much left you haven't tried. Unless you want to try Shimmer and Shine women's wrestling.

Okay cool. I just never thought of NXT as indie, because they are guys that are under a contract, and it's a subsidiary of WWE. The guys aren't really independent, they get a paycheck from a dude in a suit. But yeah I'll check out some of that female wrestling.

All promoters should wear a suit imo.

That's how workers don't get paid.

There's also Progress, RevPro and ICW the British indies that participated in the WWE UK Tournament.
