27 maja Mid American Wrestling organizuje swoją galę „The Last Dance” w Milwakee, MI. Jak się okazuje będzie to ostatnie show w historii tej federacji, działającej już 14 lat! Po tej gali federacja zostanie zamknięta.

Oto co powiedział promotor MAW – Carmine DeSpirito na temat decyzji o zamknięciu MAW:

„…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
