Indie Watch<\/a> is our regular series that looks at all of the amazing talents working the independent circuits around the world. Some are veterans revitalizing their careers, some are indie prospects hitting their peaks, while others are names to be on the watch for! This time, we take a look at the breakout star of Beyond Wrestling, Alec Price.<\/em><\/p>\n

The future of professional wrestling in the United States goes through the independent wrestling scene. Every great wrestler has their early days where they are figuring it out and putting it all together so that one day they will be a household name. In recent memory, young wrestlers like Daniel Garcia<\/strong>, Lee Moriarty<\/strong>, and Masha Slamovich<\/strong> have all become stars on the independent scene and it\u2019s earned them contracts with All Elite Wrestling (AEW)<\/strong> and IMPACT Wrestling<\/strong>. With them still wrestling on the indies but their futures already determined, it\u2019s time fans look for the \u201cnext big thing.\u201d The next wrestler to become a superstar without being in the major promotion. By all accounts, Alec Price<\/strong> is going to be that guy. Actually, he already may be that guy.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Massachusetts native has burst onto the scene over the last year. His work in Beyond Wrestling<\/strong> has been the standout more than anything, showing that he is the promotions ace through his work in the Wrestling Open<\/strong><\/em> and Uncharted Territory<\/strong> <\/em>shows. He\u2019s been taking on everyone and anyone, displaying advanced knowledge that only the best have so early on in their career. It\u2019s not just Beyond that he\u2019s making his splash in, however, as he is the reigning Limitless World Champion after winning it at the end of 2021. Limitless is fitting for a guy like Alec Price, as his potential happens to be exactly that \u2013 limitless. He hits hard, he can soar through the air, and he has the pedigree to be a winner.<\/span><\/p>\n

To get the idea of who Alec Price is, you can\u2019t start at Beyond or Limitless but rather UFO Wrestling in the Boston area. Price was trained by The Bell Time Club\u2019s Bea Douglas<\/strong>, Benny Jux<\/strong>, and Paul Richard<\/strong>. He\u2019d make his in-ring debut on June 21, 2017, against Jux, defeating him to immediately show why \u201cThe Prize\u201d isn\u2019t just a nickname. It wasn’t long before Price started to venture into more of the New England area, competing in Showcase Pro, Northeast Championship Wrestling, and Big Time Wrestling. As any young wrestler does, Price was getting reps and those reps would soon become opportunities.<\/span><\/p>\n

Price first popped into Limitless in 2019 as he won a seven-way on April 20 and started to rack up wins that would go a long way into why he\u2019s where he is today. His match against JD Drake<\/strong> at Limitless Twilight Zone<\/em><\/strong>, however, would be the true test for Price to this point in his career. Drake, of course, is a seasoned veteran who was a key member of EVOLVE<\/strong> at this time. He has been one of the best wrestlers for up-and-coming talents to challenge. Price was defeated by Drake but it was a match worth remembering.<\/span><\/p>\n
