Wrestling’s four letter word, fake. The most derogatory term used to describe our business but also the term used the most. However 100% of those who use that term are also 100% that have never stepped in a ring, took a bump, run the ropes, been hit with a chair or about 1,000 other wrestling related adjectives. To those who have dared to call wrestling “fake” in my presence, I’ve asked but one question… fake to who?

It doesn’t feel fake when I get up in the mornings. I’m sure my colleagues can attest to the everyday pain that would make most file for disability or ask for a seated job at work. So if it obviously isn’t fake to the wrestlers then maybe its fake to the fans. The close to 10 million fans that tune into professional wrestling every week. No wrestling isn’t real, then it must be a figment of our imaginations.

The word “fake” to describe professional wrestling is simply rude. Do we call Robert DeNiro “fake” because he really didn’t kill a pimp to save an underage prostitute? No we honor his work, understand that his perfection of his craft should be celebrated. I don’t want to sit and watch three hours of interpetive dance but I’m not going to diminish the hard work and sacrifice of dancer by calling it fake just because I don’t share that passion.

Cartoons are fake, not wrestling. I’m not trying to make the whole world love wrestling like I do, I’m just trying to educate the obviously ignorant. Next time you encounter someone that tries to make you feel inferior because you love wrestling then remember wrestling has real people with indirect real pain performing for real fans that pay real money, I promise.

PWP Fans! We kicked off 2011 with a bang in January! Preston Maxwell was crowned the new PWP Heavyweight Champion, although his methods were
questionable. Now, we look forward to our next big event!

SATURDAY FEBRUARY 12, 2011

…The big question is who will face Preston in his first title defense? At the time of this writing, Matty Star has still not been cleared to wrestle, suffering a concussion and bruised trachea after a brutal attack at the hands of Preston Maxwell. Therefore we are proud to announce:

PWP Heavyweight Championship:
Preston Maxwell defends against “Babyface” Tony Cortez

This is a rematch from January, however, both men will be fresh and at 100%. Maxwell bested Cortez after he had already gone through two other top competitors in January, can he best the “Icon of PWP” one more time?

Grudge Match:
Chris Havius Vs. Branden Juarez

If you’ve been following PWP, you know the history of these men. Two time Tag Team Champions together and once great friends, a bitter Juarez turned
on Havius and took him out of action for months. In January, Havius returned and laid a beating into Juarez who has been taking liberties with various members of the PWP roster. Then he laid out the challenge and the match WILL happen, Havius Vs. Juarez! This is going to be a very intense heated battle!

“The Passion” Zac James w/ Axel Greece Vs. Brian Gott w/ Derek Cornell

The Beautiful Bodies have been after the PWP Tag Team Championship for months, and if Brian Gott can best Zac James here, it may convince PWP
Officials to give them another title shot. However if James can win, it could move the Bodies further down the ladder.

Supafli Vs. David Clark

Two of PWP’s most popular contenders will go one on one with each other to find out who has the edge. Supafli returns to PWP after a short absence, and you know he will be looking to immediately continue on the path he started
last year. Clark on the other hand has been trying to move up the ranks and
a win here would definitely help him accomplish that.

Also on the card: Joey Daniels, Derek Cornell, Sir Bradley Charles, Jimmy
Rockwell, Shawn Nautilus, Zach Thompson & more!
