HIGHLY PRAISED 1-HOUR MATCH NOW ONLINE
Graduation bout features two of N.E.W.’s best
WEST MEMPHIS, Ark. – One of the most talked about matches of 2008 in the Mid-South is now available for online viewing at www.nightmarekenwayne.com.
The one-hour graduation match, held Feb. 10 of this year, between “3G” Eric Wayne and Kid Nikels can be seen by clicking a link of the main page of “Nightmare” Ken Wayne’s website. Eric Wayne and Nikels, who began their wrestling training in early 2006, had to successfully battle for 60 straight minutes in order to be classified as graduates of the “Nightmare” Ken Wayne School of Professional Wrestling.
“I am so proud of these two,” said Ken Wayne following the match. “I would not have put these two into this situation in front of a viewing audience if I didn’t think they could accomplish this goal.”
The video also includes an impressive pre-match promotional package that features comments from both combatants and other wrestling dignitaries including their trainer Ken Wayne.
The actual match itself has been talked about for the nine months since it was held. Wrestling stars in attendance that night praised the contest and its performers. Brian Tramel, owner of wrestling website www.rronews.com, was very impressed with what he witnessed that evening in West Memphis.
“Kid Nikels and Eric Wayne put on a first class match, and, along with Ken Wayne, put together a first class show,” said Tramel just days after the event during his website report on the show. “I drove home that night happy that I was a part of wrestling. I was happy that I was part of the ceremony. The crowd that witnessed this was part of something very special when it comes to this sport – true emotion and just a very appreciative crowd of what Ken Wayne has done with this school.”
Since the one-hour match, Ken and the staff of his school have formed New Experience Wrestling (N.E.W.) in West Memphis. Matches are held every Friday evening, beginning at 8 p.m., at Ken’s school and are taped for future television and DVD distribution.
One of the biggest personalities in the history of Memphis based pro wrestling and World Wrestling Entertainment’s own Downtown Bruno (also professionally known as Harvey Wippleman) gave his thoughts on N.E.W. and Ken’s school during a brief interview that is also available at www.nightmarekenwayne.com. The interview video can be found by clicking on the “N.E.W. logo” on the main page of Ken’s site.
The next N.E.W. show will be held Friday night at Wayne’s school in West Memphis. Eric Wayne, Nikels, Derrick King, “Golden Boy” Greg Anthony and more including wrestling prospect Byron Wilcot and Mark Vaughn will all be a part of the action. Bell time is 8 p.m. and tickets are $5 each.
