Freelance Wrestling returned to Logan Square Auditorium in Chicago, Illinois on June 26 for Freelance vs. The World XII, with the event streaming live on IWTV.
The night kicked off with a packed Scramble Match that saw Cole Radrick emerge victorious over a field that included CJ Martin, Matt Knicks, Hunk Kasady, Celest, GPA, Craig Mitchell, and Devon Monroe. Scramble matches have long been a staple of Freelance cards, and this one featured a deep mix of indie regulars battling for the win.
Among the notable names on the card were tag team legends The Headbangers — Mosh and Thrasher, the longtime WWE veterans who have remained active on the independent circuit — as well as EFFY, one of the most recognizable and polarizing figures working the indie scene today. EFFY’s appearances consistently draw strong reactions, and his inclusion on a Freelance show underscores the promotion’s knack for blending established names with up-and-coming talent.
Freelance Wrestling has built a loyal following in Chicago over the years, operating out of Logan Square Auditorium and cultivating a reputation for hard-hitting, unpredictable shows. The availability of Freelance vs. The World XII on IWTV means fans outside the Midwest can catch the full card on demand.
