I enjoy wrestling in general, everything from spot feasts to matches built on technical wrestling. But, I have one problem. I ONLY watch WWE. I've been to one ROH taping, and saw a match a couple years ago from TNA.
Could someone give me some matches/event from others brands; TNA, ROH, CZW, Evolve, even WCW, etc.
I'm not necessarily looking for "GOOD" matches, although quality entertainment is nice, I'm looking for events that are different than what WWE puts out. Different stipulations of matches, different types of feuds, unique variations of wrestling moves, unique storylines, unique characters, etc.
All help is appreciated!

Personally I'd jump in with PWG, that's where the who's whom of Indy wrestlers are and it has a huge variety of styles on their shows. If you're looking for a show, Mystery Vortex II is a good starting point I'd say, then maybe DDT4 2014. Match wise, Kyle O'Reilly vs. Johnny Gargano on that show is very good.
Most PWG matches don't have a real storyline around them. Though the main one is Mount Rushmore (Adam Cole, Young Bucks, and Kevin Steen) having been running wild on the show and top faces have been having to step up and stop them. Top to bottom, PWG is very good.

I don't watch Indy wrestling myself outside of a few matches. But if you want different check out Chikara or InterSpecies Wrestling.

PWG is hands down the most fun wrestling place out there.
As a place to start, I'd say just start with the beginning of the year and catch up from there and see how you like it, then start going back shows if you want to.

Watch anything PWG. It's the most exciting company in the world right now outside of NJPW and WWE.
If you want some Ring Of Honor id go with anything from ROHonHDnet I watched every taping live and there's more times than not 2-3 good matches.
Also check out the following feuds: CM Punk vs. Samoa Joe Bryan Danielson vs. Nigel Briscoe Brothers vs. Generation Next Danielson vs. Morishima Kevin Steens climb to the ROH title Steenerico vs. American Wolves Danielson vs. Tyler Black was amazing every time There's really a lot of amazing matches in ROH but the full shows aren't as entertaining as full PWG shows IMO.
Now CZW can be a tricky one. I'm a huge CZW fan so I can pretty much point you in whatever direction you want depending on if you like technical wrestling or deathmatches as well. But just in case that's not your thing I'd recommend these shows/matches that are 90% pure wrestling:
Best of The Best 10 Best of The Best 2007 Best of The Best 2006 Best of The Best 9 Best of The Best 11 Joker vs. Brain Damage (hardcore but no where near a death match and they stole the show) Phillys Most Wanted vs. The Briscoe Brothers (there's 2 or 3 of these matches) Drake Younger vs. B-Boy (Two matches with the first being nearly an hour and its amazing) Chris Hero vs. Eddie Kingston loser leaves CZW. One of the most emotional and intense matches ever. I literally almost shed a tear after this match it was incredible.
Sami Callihan and Jon Moxleys entire run in the company. They literally took the company over within a year. Its amazing to watch Callihans journey to becoming the franchise of the company
Honestly it would be easier to list the guys that have put on amazing matches because I've seen over 100 shows live and I can't remember show names and what not. But anything involving these guys in CZW was usually top notch.
Sami Callihan Jon Moxley Chris Hero Eddie Kingston Joker Drake Younger (The most underated man on the indies. He had a match with Daniel Bryan/Bryan Danielson in IPW that was off the charts and he was even allowed to go over when Danielson was under contract with the WWE and not allowed to lose.) Adam Cole (His rise in the independents started in CZW against Callihan) AR Fox
When it comes to CZW and pure wrestling you can look no further than those guys. I'm sure I'm overlooking some guys as well. The company is severely overlooked because they have a death match on every show. Its bullcrap IMO.

Watched some "Best of CZW Tournament of Death" video on YouTube earlier, holy crap! Thumbtack Jack is insane!

Watched some "Best of CZW Tournament of Death" video on YouTube earlier, holy crap! Thumbtack Jack is insane! So your a death match fan? Thumbtack Jack Danny Havoc Drake Younger Scotty Vortekz MASADA Nick Gage SeXXXy Eddy Nick Mondo Devon Moore JC Bailey Brian Damage Jon Moxley DJ Hyde Check those guys out. They mix wrestling and violence like no other. I tend to avoid IWA MS because 75% of their death match guys think hitting each other with a million things is a good match. I much prefer the hybrid death match style of Havoc, Vortekz, Younger, Moore, Bailey, etc. But if you want the cream of the crop watch some Necro Butcher. He's a warrior and never puts on a match that's overly garbage or not exciting. I HIGHLY reccomend Zandig vs. Necro Butcher from TOD 6 and Havoc vs. Necro from IWA King of the Death matches 2010? I believe. You really can't go wrong with any of the Tournament of Deaths. Especially TOD 8. Its an amazing show despite the Nick Gage incident in the finals. Watching that match will give you a new found respect for Dean Ambrose. GGage suffers an injury that legit killed him for 7 mins and the second it occurs Ambrose runs to the ring in nothing but shoes and small ass gym shorts to save the show.

As someone that has just gotten into Indy wrestling recently PWG is a great place to start as it seems to be a place where a lot of the top guys from ROH, Dragon Gate USA, Evolve, CZW, and any other top indy star come through. The matches are usually pretty fun and they usually have a few different types of matches. On one card you will see a couple fast paced spot fest type matches, you will also get atleast a match or two that is a more mat based wrestling but will and a few spots too, and on a few cards you will get a pretty good hardcore style match.

As for TNA, Kaz vs. Christian Cage at Genesis 2007 was great.
