Chunk 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2002 Im heading to Houston Tx, next year for two weeks holiday in April. I have a limited knowledge of American Indy's and the geography of America. I was wondering what promotions there are in Houston and what the chances of getting to a show while im out there would be. Can anyone help? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest pete Report post Posted October 21, 2002 Houston doesn't have a whole lot to offer on the independant scene. Houston and Texas in general hasn't been a hot bed for wrestling since th 80's. Their is a group that runs out of Humble(town in Houston). The best place to get the indy scene in Texas is at indywarz.com. It is a website that specializes in local cards around Texas.

Chunk 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2002 thanks for the tip. I read in the details that the hotel has tv's with free "HBO" whatever that is (im guessing home box office?) What wrestling is broadcast on that tv station? Does anyone know? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest pete Report post Posted October 22, 2002 Their isn't any wresling on HBO. It broadcasts movies,boxing, and original programming like the Sopranos 24-7 w/o commercial interruption. You'll find wrestling on UPN and TNN. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest pete Report post Posted October 22, 2002 Lucha is on Galavision. TNN and UPN most hotel chains have. They are part of the basic cable package.Lucha is a crap shoot. Most cable companys offer 2-4 Spanish speaking channels. So their is a good chance to get Lucha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hasn't been much since Paul Boesche passed away. There's the Humble bingo promotion like Pete said, but like WCW back in the day, it's a place where old wrestlers go to die.
