A full lineup has not been announced yet but Johnny Mundo, Taya, and Ivelisse are all scheduled for the show.

Ryan Kidd will be releasing a best of DVD. Actually, he will be releasing two best of DVDs technically. One will be exclusive to Pro Wrestling Loot, which is a pro-wrestling themed subscription box, and the other will be available for purchase individually. The two DVDs will actually have almost a completely different match lineup as well. The DVD will be available for pre-order on November 1st at ryankiddpro.bigcartel.com/ and will be released on Black Friday.

PCW has announced that DVDs and blu-rays of its first four events are now available at pacificcoastwrestling.com. They also currently have 6 shows scheduled for 2017, taking place every other month starting with their anniversary show in January. They are expected to announce a new, bigger venue at their November 12th show.

RISE has announced Buggy Nova and Ruby Raze as the first two names participating in their women’s wrestling seminar on January 27th and likely taking part in their show later that night.

Movie City Wrestling, who will hold their debut show December 10th with a main event of Paul London versus Chavo Guerrero Jr., is also the latest promotion to offer a wrestling seminar prior to their show. Paul London will be holding the seminar from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm before the show. To register contact moviecitywrestling@gmail.com.
