Along with current taxes, the Iowa Athletic Commission is proposing a new “athletic event” fee – if this passes unchanged, it could have a crippling effect on the ability of many current promotions to continue running in Iowa.

There is a public hearing being held this afternoon and the Commission is encouraging the public to email their thoughts. Please let the Commission understand that there is a loyal wrestling fanbase in our state for small, independent promotions.

A group of us highly involved with pro wrestling in Iowa met with a Commission rep yesterday – it was a beneficial meeting in terms of educating about the economics of pro wrestling in our state. But, in order to enact change, the Commission has to hear from people either at the public hearing or via email to be taken into consideration!

If you appreciate live pro wrestling and the many the benefits it provides the state of Iowa, please help us educate the Commission. This also gives for you that enjoy MMA & boxing too, as they face their own challenges.

Thanks!
