But seriously, are all of these promotions officially tied to Chikara? If so, why so many sub-feds? Also, we all know what wrestling is. It's daft, it's moist, it's a bitter pain. My opinion is that it is to help Chikara keep a fan base when its continuing its borders. It seems Chikara may not come the the New England area this year so what do they do? Form Art & Awesome in my area. I went to see the Art show in Haverhill and it was very fun. Much better then waiting for Chikara to come around to my area again whenever they are able too. Also it helps them prepare new people and ideas before debuting. the Devastation Corporation is a key example of this. They wrestled many match in the Wi promotions (I think they are on most rosters) so it gets them seasoned before moving onto the main roster. It even helps local indies. At the WiA event they were selling Beyond Wrestling DVDs and a good amount of there roster is Beyond centered.

Wrestling Is seems like mainly a thing to help newer students work in front of crowds, establish fans and create gimmicks. It also gives us fans great shows for a 5 dollar download. I love it!

They don't have good luck with shows. In other news,It looks like Wrestling is Heart has finally gotten a website that's not just a facebook page. wrestlingisheart.com/Their Roster is: Reed Bentley Saturyne Tripp Cassidy Dale Patricks Hedi Lovelace Mat Russo Eddie Kingston Jervis Cottenbelly Green Ant Darin Corbin Mr.Touchdown Arik Cannon Los Ice creams That is the worst picture of Eddie Kingston I've ever seen. For a second I thought it was a rip off guy.

His celebration is cut short as Juan Francisco De Coronado is interrupted by Amasis and the match is on! - As JFDC & Herbert crash heads, Amasis delivers a spinning forearm blast and gets a huge win!

I recently contacted Wrestling is Awesome about doing a show in the North Country, NY. Their page says they do shows in NY/New England, and the only show they have done so far was in Troy, NY. I know a wrestling promoter who was interested in bringing them in, but this is what WIA had to say:
"Thanks, but we are looking to stick with the NH area for the foreseeable future."
So, evidently, Wrestling is Awesome is sticking to NH/Maine for now...

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for "Wrestling is Attitude" in the NYC area.

The Wrestling is Respect show on right now has been marred by a possible broken leg suffered by Terra Calaway. She tried to do a move off the ropes onto Veda Scott, slipped, and yelled out a pretty horrifying noise, and had to be helped to the back. People at the show are pretty concerned for her.

There's now reports that Callaway blew out her knee, so maybe not quite as severe as first reported.
