The 12 non-WWE wrestling events to watch during Wrestlemania weekend
Wrestlemania weekend is an iconic event for the WWE. But the confluence of thousands of wrestling fans into the same city creates a massive opportunity for other promotions as well.
Some of the biggest names on the independent wrestling scene will be in action in the Los Angeles area this week, many working multiple shows in hopes of boosting their profiles to new heights in front of rabid crowds. Thanks to the proliferation of streaming services, many those matches will be broadcast online through platforms like Fite.tv and Highspots. Even if you’re not in southern California, you can watch roughly 40 hours of live wrestling this weekend which is … a lot.
In that spirit, I’ve sorted through the dozen events with the biggest names worth checking out if two nights of Wrestlemania isn’t enough for you. Behold: all the wonders of Wrestlemania weekend’s independent scene.
