From the Left Side: Ringing the Bell for NEPA’s Independent Wrestling Scene
In the heart of Northeastern Pennsylvania (NEPA), there is a passionate advocate with a heart of gold, who has a headlock on the independent wrestling scene.
Millie Camacho, the driving force behind “From The Left Side,” has created more than just a sports news platform; she’s built a thriving community hub that connects fans, wrestlers, promoters, and everyone in between.
Millie’s lifelong love for wrestling, ignited by the legends of WWF, AWA, and NWA, inspired her to follow in the footsteps of Georgiann Makropoulos, owner and operator of a newsletter titled The Wrestling Chatterbox.
Taking a bold step, Millie launched From The Left Side, becoming a prominent female voice in a traditionally male-dominated field. “I take pride in the fact that From The Left Side is run by a woman, which is pretty rare among newsletters.”
From The Left Side is a dynamic news aggregator, sharing information about independent wrestling matches and events across NEPA and beyond. But it’s Millie’s commitment to fostering genuine connections that truly sets her apart.
“What I love most,” Millie says, “is the interactive approach on social media. It has cultivated a strong sense of community, where fans and industry professionals alike can connect and share their passion for the sport.”
Through her active social media presence on Facebook and Instagram, she shares videos, posts from various promotions, and encourages lively discussions among her followers.
As Millie explains, From The Left Side isn’t just for casual fans; it’s a vital resource for those involved in the wrestling business, including promoters, pro wrestlers, and even gear makers. This inclusive approach has made her platform an essential part of the independent wrestling ecosystem.

One particularly poignant example of Millie’s impact involves a New Era Pro Wrestling sponsorship she arranged for a rising wrestler named Stunt Cat. “I sponsored him first, then decided to include his opponent Ricky Cleeter Jr.” turning it into a match sponsorship.
What began as a simple sponsorship evolved into a heartfelt tribute to Stunt Cat’s 11 year old late cousin, demonstrating the deep connections Millie fosters within the community.
You might find Millie ringside at various local promotions, including Smash Master Wrasslin’ in the Throop Civic Center, where we first met her.

Millie’s vision for From The Left Side is ambitious: she aims to transform it into a central hub for independent wrestling in NEPA, a “herald” that keeps fans informed about upcoming shows and rising stars.
