"The Last Dance"

From promoter, Carmine DeSpirito -
On May 27th, 2007 Mid American Wrestling will be
holding it's FINAL event aptly entitled, "The Last
Dance".
The decision to end the promotion has been considered
for many years.
For sometime, it has seemed inevitable. There are
multiple reasons why I have decided to fold MAW.
Economics is one. As with many independent
promotions, attendance has dwindled. It has made it
very difficult to continue financially. The second
reason, is that I initially promoted shows to simply
give wrestlers a place to perform. When I started in
1993 other promotions were scarce. Now, there are
multiple promotions in the Milwaukee area.
In 1993, at 23 years old I was a brash, young kid. I
wanted to promote wrestling, turn heads and get people
talking. Some would say my approach to the business
was a bit unorthodox. It was intentionally
controversial, but always respectful. Aside from the
outrageous product, I wanted a place where a wrestler
could live out their dreams, regardless of size, age
or ability. In turn, I would live out my dreams
as well.
I take a great deal of pride knowing that MAW has
helped in producing some great stars. There are also
some of which may never make it to the national scene,
but are very talented in their own right. I'm
extremely proud of all of them. They are all a part of
MAW's legacy. I hope every wrestler that stepped
through our doors are proud to say they wrestled
for MAW. I, for one, am proud to have had each and
every one of them wrestle for me.
Next week, I'll attempt to recap the past 13 years,
and relive with you my greatest memories of MAW.
Thank you,
Carmine DeSpirito
Owner/Promoter
Mid American Wrestling
It's encouraged for everyone, fans and wrestlers alike
