The number of new videos from the indies outside of ClickWrestle.com just ain't there. All I have is this one from the GIWA at http://www.madmacdavis.com

The Axis of Evil - Dragon el Fuego ?'?" ???lbs. Mexico & "Japanese Madman" Oko Nono 5'6" 1500 oz. (93¾ lbs.) Nagasaki, Japan w/ The Professor vs. The Outlaws - Mad Mac Davis ?'?" 205lbs. Savannah, GA & The Firewalker ?'?" ???lbs. Unknown - When I converted the weight from 1500 oz. to actual pounds, I did a double take and thought that had to be wrong. But if that IS right, and Oko Nono says it is, then he's the SMALLEST non-midget wrestler in the business and the first STRAWweight class wrestler I've found, and quite underweight too. He's the one in purple and black, Fuego is in all black and white. The Professor, who's twice the weight of his team combined, has the mike and runs his mouth about something but the crowd noise drowns it out. Firewalker starts the match leading a USA chant but Fuego jumps him. Repeated shots from Fuego, throws Firewalker in this corner, Nono in, double whip double clothesline Firewalker, tag Davis. Flying double clothesline from the top. Davis clobbers Nono in the corner, tag Firewalker, whip and a boot. Big suplex from Firewalker, as the professor is chasing someone dressed the same as him. Firewalker slams Nono, Davis in, whip spinebuster! Suplex Davis, toss by the mask, tag Firewalker, whip double team elbow. Firewalker whip to the corner, charge misses and Firewalker sails to the floor through the ropes. Davis is in a spat with Nono as Fuego works Firewalker over. Nono, kicks away on Firewalker in an armbar. Nono knee slams Firewalker, works it some more, tag Fuego. Fuego sits on the knee in the ropes, then holds Nono's arm for more pull. Tag Nono, Professor chokes while Nono sits on him, cover for two. Firewalker with an eyepoke thru the mask, goes for a suplex but he kicks the knee. Tag Fuego, sets Firewalker in position, drops the legs on Firewalker and Nono drops his from the top. Fuego whip, kick, facebreaker on Fuego's knee, neckbreaker gets two. Tag Nono, flying side kick, drop kick in the corner. Nono drops his legs on the crotch area again, chokes on the apron. Tag Fuego, whip reverse clothesline Firewalker. Savat kick from Firewalker floors Fuego. Tag Davis, tag Nono, whip spear Davis. Davis death valley driver on Fuego. Davis with Nono, whip to the corner, Firewalker in, whip into Nono, big splash on Nono. Davis goes up, Nono on Firewalker's shoulders...DOOMSDAY DEVICE! Davis gets the cover and the Professor yanks the ref out, fight outside, Fuego KOs Davis with his flag, cover no ref, Nono goes out, ref argues with Professor, Fuego back in with the flag and clocks Davis down AGAIN, ref in, counts Nono pinning Davis. Highway robbery! Match was okay nonetheless.

WINNERS: Axis of Evil pin -> 9:25 mins. **

It's not over, Fuego jumps in and beats on Firewalker, Nono back in and drops a leg on Davis as the video ends.

The rest of these come from three particular sites, www.wrestlinghit.com (which now seems to be gone, too bad), www.wrestlingzone.ru, and www.wrestlingmedia.ru. They rotate the matches on the sites, so by the time you read this, they're gone already. File sharing software can net you these bouts though.
