Seriously, you would not believe the outrage that was expressed to me when we had a record three title changes in our May show. How dare we? The funny part is that no one actually diliked any of the new champions, they just told me that they felt “betrayed” by the company for such a shocking turn of events without warning. Okay, so what would the warning have been? Haha. What more could we have done other than when we announced matches, a title defense, and a women’s gauntlet title tournament perhaps? Oh wait, we did that actually. That is the one thing that I have never quite been able to wrap my head around in the six and half years that IGNITE Wrestling has been doing shows. There is this bizarre sense…

If there is one lesson we have learned from the Young Professor Matt Graifer is that when you hustle and do great work that you get noticed. And boy has he gotten noticed in 2022. Unless you have been living under a rock or avoid social media, tv and sports you have missed the year of the Professor. He’s been popping up everywhere from his with the viral sensation Savannah Bananas as the World’s First ComBAT Sports Announcer. The Georgia-based Coastal Plain League team has attracted millions of fans with their TikTok videos, which show batters on stilts or players in kilts on shows such as CBS Morning, Tik Tok, ESPN, you name it. It’s not your dad’s baseball but with the energy and fun going on you can see why they…

Our women’s division has been growing in leaps and bounds and we were beyond stoked to have the opportunity to work with one of the hottest young women who has been making an impact on the wrestling scene. Unless you have been living under a rock this past year or so, you would have seen/heard of Ruthie Jay on the Florida wrestling scene. This super athletic grappler has already set the gold standard grabbing the title at Magic City while bolstering her profile with an amazing debut (albeit a defeat) on AEW which put her face and prowess on the map. A product of the Gangrel training school, she had the added advantage of training along side one of the women’s sports hottest workers, Kilynn King and facing her against the ring.…

In just over a year we went from meeting a young grappler on the ring crew that grabbed an opportunity to step up and face Robert Martyr to a tag team forming with the most beloved character on our roster. If you don’t believe us that Beastly is their favorite, just ask them. They freaking love that furry dude. So no one could have predicted that this trio of Beastly, Ozzy Kilmeister and Invidia would not only be a solidly entertaining team but would become contenders in our tag team division. But they became more than just contenders. After losing previously to That Klassic Tag Team, the trio became to train and study their opponents in earnest or their shot at gold. It paid off in droves as Mosh and Mayhem pulled off…

If you missed IGNITE Wrestling Inferno, let’s recap the most explosive and shocking day in IGNITE history. From the shocking opening match featuring the Men’s Tag Team Titles up for grab, it was a crazed rush all day of omg moments that kept building. That Klassic Tag Team put their titles on the line in a see saw match that saw Mosh and Mayhem working to shut down the drop kicking offense of Kiko Harris and isolate Kody Kastle. The plan worked as Mosh and Mayhem worked in tandem to stun and pin Kiko Harris for the title change. The momentum built as the Florida Man TC Read debuted his new look against Coach Jim Teecher. Starting with a patented challenge Read and Teecher had a classic match of chain wrestling as they…

EXCLUSIVE Merchandise If there is one thing that has totally set IGNITE Wrestling apart from the indy wrestling scene is our expansive and unusual line of merchandise. Notone to follow blindly along with trends, it was decided by IGNITE owner and industry disrupter Kim Artlip that our merchandise and presentation would be more than just the standard black shirt. Launching one of the few indy trading card lines in 2016, it became apparent that the IGNITE Wrestling marketing division was just getting started. Still the number product in sales volume, it has been recognized in multiple collectibles columns and websites due to its sheer size of sixty cards in the current version as well as variety of old and new faces in the business who have make their appearances at IGNITE. Building on that…
