#BACKFILL returns to continue our chronological look at PROGRESS, and we’re going to a show that would be historical for more than one reason, with Chapter 9… and someone’s a big fan of U2, it seems: “Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kick Me, Kill Me”.

We’re going to keep things chronological here on #BACKFILL, and after Chapter 8’s “Big Boys Guide to Strong Style”, PROGRESS started a new strand of shows entitled: ENDVR, where some of the company’s trainees cut their teeth.
#BACKFILL returns for the next instalment from the early days of PROGRESS, headlined by Rampage Brown taking a shot at El Ligero’s title… and the continued slow burn towards the company’s biggest angle.
Over WrestleMania weekend we reviewed several shows from the independent scene, but there was one that we largely left untouched. Until now… Featuring the stars of the indie scene, including Will Ospreay, Ricochet, Zack Sabre Jr., Chris Hero, Rey Mysterio and many many more, we finally dive into the WrestleCon show, and see just how badly Jeff Jarrett nearly killed the entire event.
We continue our #BACKFILL series with a look the seventh installment of PROGRESS, with their card from May 19 in 2013, called, “Every Saint Has A Past, Every Sinner Has A Future.
After a hit-and-miss fifth show, PROGRESS came back with a loaded card in March 2013 – and this edition of #BACKFILL will cover it, featuring a main event for the PROGRESS title between El Ligero and Ricochet. On paper, at least, that’s got to be good, right?
The year 2013 started with PROGRESS taking a page out of AC/DC’s songbook, with their fifth show – For Those About To Fight, We Salute You – headlined with a tag match between the London Riots, and the Leaders of the New School, Zack Sabre Jr. and Marty Scurll.
PROGRESS wrapped up it’s first calendar year of business with their fourth show in November 2012 – entitled “The Ballad of El Ligero”. This was the show where El Ligero got his title shot against Nathan Cruz, coming on the heels of several matches where Ligero went against his long-standing clean cut character to cheat his way to the top.
