10 must watch indie shows to stream in November
The Heartbreak Kid applying his signature finisher to Bret “the hitman” Hart to end the infamous “Montreal Screwjob” match at the 1997 Survivor Series.
We’re entering a historical month for professional wrestling. From events that changed the way things can be done, like ECW’s flagship “November to Remember,” which debuted in 1993, to tragedies that left a permanent hole in the community, like Eddie Guerrero’s untimely passing in 2005, and, of course, the greatest travesty in professional wrestling history, the 29th anniversary of “The Montreal Screwjob” on the 9th, November is steeped in wrestling lore.
November’s Indie calendar has a little something for everyone. The 11th month features anniversary shows, tournaments, deathmatches, a 30-person rumble, a 16-person Cibernetico, and enough geographic variety to avoid becoming a regional explainer. From Quebec City and Liverpool to Houston, Chicago, and the Bay Area.
This is the pre-Thanksgiving-weekend portion of the viewing guide. Pro wrestling has deep roots in the holiday weekend, from the territories to Starrcade 83 and beyond. 2026 has a feast of stacked cards to keep everyone busy. My Thanksgiving weekend-specific guide “To Be The Yam, You Gotta Beat the Yam” will run before the holiday.
And don’t forget to keep an eye out for DSR’s “Handy Guides” to AEW and WWE events.
Streaming information is current as of Oct. 30. Indie promotions have a habit of announcing or changing streams right before showtime, so always double-check with the promotions site or socials.
1. RevPro: Live in London 113
Nov. 1 | Porchester Hall | LondonNov. 1 | Northbrook, Ill. | 4 p.m. ET
Revolution Pro opens November at Porchester Hall with a new installment of its long-running Live in London series. RevPro is an accessible path into the British indie scene. RevPro’s cards regularly mix established UK names, international visitors, and wrestlers on the rise from all over. This is a company with deep archives, so once you get hooked, there’s a sizable rabbit hole of past matches to fall into.
How to watch: RevPro OnDemand. The promotion posts its 2026 events there; this is an on-demand option rather than a confirmed live stream. RevPro OnDemand
2. North Shore Pro Wrestling: Standing 30
Nov. 7 | Québec City | 8 p.m. ET | IWTV
If thirty wrestlers sounds like too many bodies for one match, Québec’s North Shore Pro Wrestling respectfully disagrees.
NSPW’s Standing 30 is pretty much exactly what it sounds like. Thirty wrestlers piling into one ring for the company’s annual rumble. Whoever outlasts the arithmetic wins. NSPW has been running for more than two decades and has amassed a substantial French-Canadian archive on IWTV, making this a great entry point for fans looking to broaden their Canadian viewing and dig into a scene that American indie coverage often overlooks.
3. New Texas Pro: Texas Contenders Series 70: Kat Scratch Fever
Nov. 5 | Houston Premier Arena | Houston | 8:30 p.m. ET
New Texas Pro's Texas Contenders Series is the promotional version of a developmental arm, giving up-and-comers regular appearances alongside the established roster. I love this series for watching new and emerging talent; think of it like the New Texas version of NXT (although New Texas proudly runs both arms here, unlike WWE and NXT). Nov 1st, the Texas Contenders Series returns for its 70th installment with “Lethal” Chris Marcell defending the TCS Championship against Kaliko. New Texas has become an established proving ground for wrestlers coming up through the Houston scene. It also has a streaming archive with more than 150 events.
How to watch: Live on IWTV and YouTube. New Texas Pro on IWTV
3. GCW: Dead on Arrival
Nov. 6 | Pop's NightClub | Sauget, Ill. | 9 p.m. ET
I know I feature GCW almost every month and it's hardly an undiscovered promotion, but Dead on Arrival has enough bizarre matchmaking to necessitate inclusion on November’s list. Megan Bayne faces SLADE, Shotzi Blackheart wrestles Nixi XS, Neil Diamond Cutter gets Sicko the Clown, and Alec Price, Jordan Oliver and Marcus Mathers team against Aaron Williams, Anakin Murphy and Gary Jay. This is the kind of collision-heavy card GCW fans love and that the promotion does best: mismatched styles, surprising pairings, and enough volatility to keep fans on the edge of their seats until the bell rings.

Nov. 7 | Marx's Court Time | Elizabeth, Pa. | 7 p.m. ET
International Wrestling Cartel has been operating in Western Pennsylvania for 25 years. Its current cards mix established regional names with new wrestlers breaking into the indie circuit. Winner Takes All picks up where October’s Super Indy 25 left off. Bill Collier beat Sam Holloway and Nic Nemeth before defeating Super Hentai in the final tournament and taking the Super Indy Championship. Collier is one of IWC’s most proven names, with multiple Super Indy title reigns and a run as the promotion’s longest-reigning world champion. Collier will see his first major test as the new champion against former MLW World Tag Team and Caribbean, Richard Holliday at Winner Takes All, while the rest of the card deals with the fallout from the Dead Presidents’ reveal and their tag-title win at Super Indy 25.
How to watch: : IWTV on demand. IWC moved its entire library and all future programming to IWTV this year and now records its events for post-produced “tape-to-air” releases rather than streaming them live. Watch IWC on IWTV
5. *West Coast Pro Wrestling: West Coast 8
Nov. 13 | San Francisco | 10:30 p.m. ET
West Coast Pro turns eight in November, and they’re celebrating with a card that shows exactly why the Bay Area promotion is known for bridging the gap between “regional” wrestler and “national name.”
Adam Priest defends the West Coast Pro title against Alpha Zo. The Motor City Machine Guns, Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin, return to face Titus Alexander and Chazz “Starboy” Hall, the Crush Boys. West Coast Pro has made this latter match extra engaging by putting one of the most influential tag teams of the last two decades opposite two wrestlers on the opposite end of that career arc.
How to watch: West Coast Pro posts full matches and shows for free on its official YouTube channel. *note that the official website for the promotion is not up to date, so staying in the loop with the Instagram page linked above is a better bet*
7. Paradigm Pro Wrestling: Midlife Crisis
Nov. 20 | Jeffersonville, Ind. | 7:30 p.m. ET
Paradigm Pro Wrestling stopped running after show No. 149 in 2024.
Or, no, it didn’t? Or maybe that odd number just didn’t work for someone numerologically.
The promotion returns for show No. 150, Midlife Crisis, but Paradigm itself isn't promising a reunion, a restart or a farewell. It is promising the things that made Paradigm peculiar and wonderful in the first place: UWFi-style fights, hardcore wrestling and what it accurately describes as “questionable, complicated rule-sets.”
How to watch: TrillerTV+ is Paradigm’s streaming partner and home to its growing back catalogue. An event-specific Midlife Crisis stream has not yet been posted, so consider the live broadcast TBA for now. Paradigm also posts selected full shows free on YouTube.
8. Chicago Style Wrestling: Second City Showdown VI
Nov. 20 | Elmwood Park, Ill. | 8:30 p.m. ET | IWTV
Chicago Style Wrestling closes its season with Second City Showdown VI, bringing Real1, Aleah James and Santana Jackson to Elmwood Park while Pinky Montoya and Conan Lycan are also advertised to return.
CSW is the sort of regional promotion that could easily get lost between Chicago’s better-known indie brands, which would be a damn shame. Not every indie recommendation needs to involve discovering the next global superstar. Sometimes the point is discovering that a city has more wrestling than the three companies that get scouted and that’s a good thing.
How to watch: Live on IWTV at 8:30 p.m. ET.
9. Pro Wrestling Junkie: Loyalty Over Everything
Nov. 22 | Ridgefield Park, N.J. | 5 p.m. ET | IWTV
Pro Wrestling Junkie returns to The Mecca for Loyalty Over Everything. The Northeast does not suffer from a shortage of wrestling promotions, which makes PWJ’s quick rise intriguing. It’s already carving out a unique identity in the crowded Northeast scene.
PWJ is still a relatively young company, but getting a Sunday afternoon slot on IWTV makes this show easy to sample. b
How to watch: Live on IWTV at 5 p.m. ET.
10. Power Pro Lucha: Neon Genesis Cibernetico
Nov. 22 | Philadelphia | 6 p.m. ET | IWTV
Power Pro Lucha rounds out our November Indie Watch List with a perfectly reasonable solution to the problem of deciding who should wrestle which match: everyone should; book sixteen people.
Neon Genesis Cibernetico brings back the Torneo Cibernético, with two teams of eight fighting through an elimination match until only one wrestler remains. Power Pro Lucha has built its identity around lucha structures, comic-book vibes and an unpredictable roster and strange internal ecosystem which includes names like Juni Underwood, the Spectral Envoy, GummiBurger, F.I.S.T., the Colony and the State Champs, while mixing in outside names like Gabby Forza, Janai Kai and Jonathan Gresham
How to watch: Live on IWTV at 6 p.m. ET.
