New England Wresting Calendar

Start 2026 off with a bang! Go see a wrestling show! And buy some merch from a wrestler! (Supporting independent artists of any kind, whether they're wrestlers, writers, visual artists, or musicians is an easy way to make a big difference in someone's life and to push back against corporate hegemony while you're at it!) Here's what we could find in New England this month. As always, let us know if we've missed anything, and we'll update!

Sunday, January 11: Fight Life in Providence, RI! (An afternoon show featuring some of the best New England wrestlers: Mortar, Shannon Levangie, JT Dunn, Richard Holliday, Milo Mirra, Spike Nishimura, Seabass Finn, and BMT!)

Friday, January 16th: Chaotic Wrestling in Lowell, MA! (Front row is already sold out!)

Friday, January 16th: Limitless Pro Wrestling in Lewiston, ME! (lots of faves at this show too, including Aaron Rourke, The Shooter Boys dba B3, Gabby Forza, Donovan Dijak, and MJF!)

*As far as we know, Beyond Wrestling's Wrestling Open shows will be continuing on a weekly basis. But kayfabe.ink is something we do for fun, and Beyond's failure to fire someone who posted particularly nasty transphobia isn't fun. You can look it up if you're so inclined. The employee in question at first doubled down and then posted an apology that was actually pretty good as such things go, but other than that he seemed to face no consequences from the promotion. We try to imagine how we would explain our choice to continue to promote Beyond to our trans friends, and no version of that conversation we can imagine ends with us feeling good about ourselves. So we're not going to do it.
