This is how we do it

There are few things in this life I believe in more than being honest and upfront with people and doing what you say you will do, and also being loyal to the people around you. There is a group I am blessed enough to be associated with in Lima that believes in these things too, and that is exactly why I am proud to say I am associated with WAR Wrestling. Even when it might be easy to take the low road like some others and from what I've heard thru the grapevine, other companies aren't as willing to do things the way they should or even make good on their promises like they should.

When WAR Wrestling was lucky enough to partner with the Allen County Humane Society and help the amazing cause they are working for, we raised 2,100 dollars for them. The ACHS is a great company with a good set of men leading it and needs all of your help. They are a no kill shelter, which means they receive no help or funding from the state of ohio, the us government, or the local government....and rely solely on private donations and fundraisers to get by and house these animals. We at WAR Wrestling helped do our small part(and trust me we are not resting on our laurels, as I'm told we will be partnering with them again often in our quest to help these animals have a good home and get adopted).

My point in saying all of this is simple: WAR Wrestling told the ACHS that whatever we make on the show is yours. Whatever you make on concessions is yours. We are trying to help YOU out and get YOU recognition, it's not about us....it's about helping the community and these animals by getting exposure for YOU GUYS....and money for YOU GUYS......there's another company called Bruiser Wrestling who FROM WHAT I HAVE HEARD have not come thru on their promise the way we did. They from what I have heard personally have not given one red cent of their proceeds to the Allen County Children Services group who they supposedly parntered with to put on their event Oct 23rd, now I ask you....is this the sign of a good business? I know FOR A FACT that they asked the ACHS to buy all of the things for concessions and then that BW would cut them a % of the proceeds, ACHS did not like this and ended up partnering with WAR instead.....so BW went to look for another "partner" for their event. How is it that even with all the free publicity(psa's from both local tv and radio that were FREE) they received that they still drew less than WAR, who had to pay for their advertising?

Look, I know a lot of you may not like wrestling and deem it hillbilly or whatever, but the truth of the matter is that the men and women who come to WAR and perform for crowds every month of between 5-800 at the UAW hall off of 75 bust their butts and put on a dang fine show every single month to make sure people who spend their hard earned money are entertained. WAR Wrestling is a proud member of the Lima Community that not enough people know about. Yes you may not have the big names that other independent shows do, but what you will find is a great card from top to bottom, and the best way to spend $8-10 bucks around.

Make sure you check out a WAR show(dec 4th will be an amazing one I promise you), and tell you friends....and just remember, there's a reason why so many people come back to see WAR and not the others who try and run here...see the innovators, not the imitators.

My intention was to state how I felt and some key facts, not to slander anyone. All comments welcome and will get a response. Thank you for reading.
