----A story has been floating around the last few weeks about LAW and their building. I got confirmation from a source within the promotion that stated the following,
"Arkansas State Fire Marshall came in and said that the building wasn't up to the fire code for a "place of assembly". Jeff just can't afford, at least not all at one time, to get it up to code. So, until further notice LAW isn't running anymore shows."
----LAW owner, Jeff O'Dell, was contacted, but had no response.
----"Axeman" Randall Lewis reported yesterday afternoon the following about TFW in Tupelo, MS on www.wrestlingnewscenter.com
BREAKING NEWS! TFW Closes Doors Temporarily!
TFW, which has been running in Tupelo/Skyline for over five years, has been notified that they will be unable to have any future wrestling shows in their new building on Hwy. 178 in Skyline. The reason given to the owners, Wayne & Denise Blaylock, is due to fire code violations.
Before the rumors get started and all the TFW bashers start spreading crap, here are the facts in the matter:
1. TFW and its owners did nothing wrong. There are NO code violations in the part of the building TFW occupies.
2. The parts of the building on either side of TFW, which TFW does not lease or occupy and are currently vacant, contain numerous code violations.
3. The Lee County Fire Marshall has declared the entire building unsafe due to the code violations in other parts of the building. Therefore, TFW will have to leave immediately.
4. This absolutely, completely, totally, and undeniably sucks. TFW complied with every code, but they are out because the landlord did not have other parts of the building up to code.
Those are the facts, unfortunately. TFW will be back as soon as they find a new building to run in.
