P6W is Coming

As if the independent wrestling scene wasn't already ON FIRE locally, it's about to get hotter. As in scorching. As in third-degree.

As in really, really hot.

Pier 6 Wrestling will be debuting at Pineapple Jack's in Rochester, NY with a TELEVISION TAPING on Sunday, June 22 at 2 P.M. (Tickets are only $10 in advance and can be ordered by calling 585-247-JACK).

The show will debut in Rochester on WBGT-TV (My 18) in the near future, from the good people who bring you WRESTLEVISION. A Buffalo affiliate will be announced shortly, pending approval from the FCC and the Interplanetary Association of Wrestling Broadcasters.

Pier 6 Wrestling is not intended as competition for other local feds; rather, it is unique in that it is "Television-Centered." Fans of Our Great Sport who attend the tapings will not only be enthralled, enriched, educated and utterly mesmerized by the fast-paced pro wrestling action, they'll appreciate a setting in the spirit of old-school TV wrestling. For those old enough to remember (or who have seen tapes), it will hopefully evoke memories of Georgia Championship Wrestling, U.S.W.A., or even the old NWF which ran in Buffalo & Rochester some 30 years ago. You can view the magic in person, and then witness it later in the Convenience of Your Own House!

Pier 6 Wrestling is fully licensed by the New York State Athletic Commission.

Pineapple Jack's is a unique setting; it offers drinks, a full food menu, and a wrestling ambience that makes you feel like you're watching matches from your favorite sofa at home. In addition, for those who choose to smoke, it also offers a separate Cigar Emporium where you can light up your favorite stogie during intermission without having to go outside. It's located on Route 31 at 485 Spencerport Rd. (near Long Pond Rd.) near the Rochester/Gates border.

Who will be appearing in P6W? Good question! Negotiations are ongoing as we speak; one name This Reporter CAN confirm is Sik Rik Matrix, former member of the prestigious PWI 500 and first-ever Buffalo Championship Wrestling Niagara Frontier Heavyweight Champ, who is the most hellacious athlete to ever come out of WNY. Other stars, from WNY and Southern Ontario, will be announced shortly.
