1) Black Label Pro: Erick Stevens Presents Professional Wrestling

5) Riptide Wrestling: Black Water 2018
Thursday November 1, 2018
Brighton, England, United Kingdom
Riptide Wrestling based out of the United Kingdom is a promotion that should be talked about more often. It is beautifully shot and features a lot of the great talent from the UK scene. They also did a great job at editing their shows after the Speaking Out movement. Below is a warning that appears when you go to their shows. Would love to see more Riptide on IWTV.
**These shows were filmed before the #SpeakingOut movement. Performers facing allegations of sustained, serial or criminal abuses have been removed. Some performers accused of misconduct to which these conditions do not apply remain, in order to preserve the platform of the co-performers not implicated. Inclusion in this edit is not an endorsement. Should RIPTIDE shows resume, none of the accused performers will be invited to participate.**
You’ll enjoy: Cara Noir vs Mike Bailey, Money Versus Everybody vs Team WhiteWolf and The OJMO, Chuck Mambo vs Eddie Dennis
