----XOW on their website issued the following statement. I am not sure who has been dispurting their crowd size?? I talked with 4 or 5 of the guys that were actually on the show and a few people from the crowd - the crowd was in the 200 range.
Wrestling fans,
As you all know by now, XOW had our first show at the fire department in Independence on Friday night August 4th. To the best of our knowledge we were out of the area of any other wrestling promotion that might be having a show that night. It was a great crowd and unfortunately we didn’t have enough chairs and some people paid to stand and watch the show and some didn’t even make it into the building because there wasn’t enough room for everyone.
Some have posted on other sites that were didn’t have the numbers of people that we said we had but please ask anyone on the card how many people were at the show and you will know. We did have a lot of pictures taken by a photographer and we shot some video and pictures will be posted soon. Some of the video will be on the website soon.
Sarge O’Riley and Tony Watts built a great card. My thanks go out to Superstar Bill Dundee, Hollywood Jimmy, Grady Watson and all the workers involved who helped this show possible.
XOW will be having more shows soon and in different areas. We do not have a weekly show as of today but we are happy with bringing the show on the road and having a good time. So, no. We are not running a show weekly in Pontotoc as many have said on the message boards. Every time you see myself, Tony Watts or Sarge O’Riley we will be professional.
It’s not about being top dog. APW, TFW, RPW, and CWA all have a suitable wrestling format that works for them and that is how it should be. Your never going to like all of the shows you go to and your never going to like every worker you see preformed but that’s how things work.
Thank you wrestling fans and we hope to see you again real soon.

XOW Co/Owner and Webmaster
