Beyond Wrestling has been one of the top indie promotions in the United States and one of the early soldiers in the indie revolution that’s lead to the indie boom at present. Founded in 2009 by Drew Cordeiro, the Bridgewater, Massachusetts promotion has one of the largest YouTube wrestling channels with nearly 1 million subscribers, with lots of full free matches of many stars now in the WWE, NJPW or IMPACT, and they continue to release events on-demand. This Sunday, they have one of the coolest concepts for any event, for Please Come Back, where Beyond Wrestling regulars have a match of their choice opponent, but under one condition. They have to hand pick someone who has never wrestled for Beyond before. It’s made for some interesting and unique match-ups. Please Come Back airs live on Powerbomb.tv this Sunday at 6pm EST.

Zoltan is a veteran tag team of the New York indie scene, Kris Kage and Whiplash, starting out in the early 2000s with Fighting Spirit Wrestling (FSW), 2KW Wrestling and now SWF. The Amazing Graysons are a young athletic tandem out of Northeast Wrestling (NEW), who also work with Chaotic Wrestling, Pro Wrestling Magic (PWM) and Rhode Island’s Xtreme Wrestling Alliance (XWA). Santana and Ortiz are showcasing New York indie tag teams, past, present and future, and with that kind of emotion running wild, this match should be electric.
