Beyond die-hard and PWP Writer Tim Bell previews and breaks down the upcoming Beyond Wrestling event, “Gratitude Era” this October 25th.

Beyond mixes worldwide known talent with some of the most talented young talent in wrestling today, and throws in some delicious food to top it off, creating a live experience that strikes a chord with just about any type of fan.
Names like Kevin Steen, Ricochet, Samoa Joe and The Young Bucks have all made appearances with Beyond, some doing the typical indie tour of one night in every company.
