About me: I've got a truly great life. I know I've got it good and others can only hope for the hand I've been dealt. Please allow me the indulgence of typing out a quick laundry list to give you a better idea of why I'm one happy S.O.B.
I am grounded due to a solid foundation built on great relationships with my family and a wonderful woman. I have an awesome group of people who I consider true friends that would go out of their way for me, just as I would for them. I'm lucky to have been in the right place at the right time and was smart enough to know when to "put in the hard work". Because of those efforts I have a well paying, stress free yet challenging career that affords me most material luxuries. I've also got a few fun, personally rewarding hobbies which brings us to this:
I am the Administrator for the Chicago Pro Wrestling message board. It is the leading source for news and information concerning the Independent Professional Wrestling community in and around the Chicago/Midwest area.
Our intent is to give more of a "web presence" to all Indy promotions in the region who are looking for exposure and want to utilize this inexpensive, far reaching form of advertising.
We are trying to create a cohesive, shared space for all involved with Independent wrestling in the Midwest.
If you have questions on what's happening in and around the Chicago Independent Wrestling scene and beyond (including promotions from IN, WISC, MO, OH, MI, IOWA, MN, etc.) there is NO OTHER place on the web to get the answers you're looking for that are as timely, accurate and informative.
All the info provided on the message board is contributed by our ever growing membership:
Our Upcoming Shows forum has anywhere from 25-40+ show listed at a time! You will ALWAYS find a show to check out; from smaller local Indy Promotions to regional favorites like NWA Midwest and IWA-MidSouth to national touring companies like Ring of Honor (who have recently made Chicago their "second home").
As I type this, the message board has had over 2.1 MILLION visitors and over 10.6 MILLION hits. We have more than 3,100 registered members and counting with 175,000+ posts worth of content regarding the Chicago/Midwest scene and we are growing everyday!
