XOW Issues A Statement

----Here is something that the owners of XOW sent along. I am going to comment on a few of these things in the next "Coach's Corner", but I thought this was a classy gesture.

Wrestling fans,

I would like to thank all of the fans who came out to Independence to see the XOW show. We had a good turn out and a lot of fun and are excited to go back at a date to be announced later.

I’ve seen posts on the message boards and have received a couple of emails about the show. We had a couple of new workers making there in ring debut and it seems that a few people didn’t understand why we did that. It’s simple, every worker has to make an in ring debut sooner or later. It’s a learning experience and we are proud to have them as a part of our show and we know the more in ring experience the better they will be. It’s called constructive criticism and fans can say what they want because it helps them learn and we all know that on one is perfect.

A few people talked about the matches being to long and we did have a couple of long matches but you can’t knock someone for loving what they do. I had a couple of people talk to me and say they did have to go home because they have been busy all day or had something to do Sunday morning. What a lot of people don’t know is that a couple of the same people ordered a DVD of the show because they didn’t want to miss anything. As for the workers well, I think highly of all of the superstars and I am greatly concerned about the well being of each one. When one of the superstars gets hurt I like to stay in touch or have someone tell me how they are doing until they have shaken it off and
are ready to get back into the ring.

If it wasn’t for all of the talent in the locker room we couldn’t have a show. If you look around you will find that we have a lot of talent to choose from but, we will be calling other superstars for other shows and we are going to try to use a couple of different workers every show. If you want to be a part of the show good, if not we understand. Sarge O’Riley is the booker for XOW shows and he is the person to contact to be booked. If you contact Tony Watts or me we will refer you to Sarge. If you don’t know how to get in touch with Sarge then send me and email on myspace or send Sarge a message on his myspace page.

Once again, thanks to all of the superstars and fans for the support and hell raising that makes us love what we do even more.
