Are Independent Wrestling Promotions More Important Than Ever?

Independent wrestling has always played a huge role in the wrestling industry. Long before many wrestlers make it onto television or sign with major promotions, they build their reputations travelling around the country, performing in front of passionate fans and proving what they can do.
