Torch Indy Midweek report: Kurt Angle, Lethal, new IWA-Mid South ...
Torch Indy Reporter Chris Vetter travels thousands of miles each year to see dozens of indy shows all over the Midwest. His reports covering the entire U.S. Indy Scene are usually published exclusively here at PWTorch.com every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. MIDWEEK NEWS & NOTES Only a few notes today… Kurt Angle will be at the UWF/TNA house shows in Philadelphia and Connecticut on Nov. 10 & 11. IWA-Mid South has announced the 8 competitors for its annual “strong style tournament" on Nov. 24. The competitors feature Eddie Kingston, Necro Butcher, B-Boy, and the IWA-Mid South debut of Jay Lethal, who really doesn't seem to fit in this tournament, but I'm glad he's on the show! I'll predict Kingston over Necro Butcher in the finals. Learn more about this promotion at www.iwamidsouthwrestling.com.

KFC takes unhealthy fat out of its fried chicken
The war against trans fat registered a major victory as Kentucky Fried Chicken - whose main course is deep fried - announced that it would remove the artery-clogging substance from its fryers. KFC said Monday that it would replace partially hydrogenated soybean oil with a type of soybean oil that does not contain trans fat at its 5,500 restaurants in the United States. The conversion, which came after two years of testing, is expected to be completed by April. While trans fat will be eliminated from KFC's chicken and other fried products, it will remain in its biscuits, potpies and some desserts because a good alternative has not yet been found. Officials at KFC, a subsidiary of Yum Brands of Louisville, Kentucky, said that the change in cooking oils would have no impact on the taste of its food.
