First thing first: no apologies for the all caps title.
Second: this is not the chat thread. That will be posted this evening. However, the indies greatness starts in about an hour, so I have to get started early too!
All shows are in the Dallas area and all times local (USCDT). Most of them are part of WrestleCon and therefore will be on FITE. (If a show is explicitly not on FITE, assume it is being taped for later — either to be shown on YouTube, Twitch, or released for video.)
