Pro Wrestling has lost another LEGEND! The wrestling world is shocked over the death of Japanese pro wrestling legend, Mr. Mitsuharu Misawa. The wrestling world will mourn his death and later miss him but in some of our minds, he will always be alive probably wrestling in that big sky above with many other great wrestling legends.

On behalf of everyone at All Pro Wrestling, we’d like to share our condolences with the family, friends and fans of Japanese Pro Wrestling Legend and President of Pro Wrestling Noah, Mr. Mitsuharu Misawa. Mr. Misawa just may have been one of the top 5 or 10 pro wrestlers of all-time.  He was declared dead on Saturday evening from an apparent heart attack in the ring after being given a back suplex in a tag team title match involving former Boot Camp graduate, Bison Smith. We would also like to offer our condolences and respect to all the pro wrestlers booked on the card the night he died.  It had to be a traumatic experience to all the wrestlers on that show and especially to those involved in his match. I’m sure this is a traumatic experience to every wrestler that puts his body on the line because of their passion for this great game and to entertain the wrestling fans. Great risk is taken every time pro wrestler steps into the squared circle.  Mr. Misawa would have been 47 this coming week.  Feel free to share your thoughts with your comments below or on our message board.

We have just booked a birthday celebration for a young man who turns 7. His parents are surprising him with a pro wrestling party hosted by All Pro Wrestling. This young man will get a live pro wrestling show just for him and his guests. The party is still in the planning stages with pizza and cake a possibility but this young man will have a birthday gift to remember for his entire life. There will be presents, a game of musical chairs in our ring with the winner getting a championship belt. Our last birthday celebration went smooth with the exception of having to get the parents out of the ring. It seems the adults were having as much fun as the kids.

The All Pro Wrestling Birthday Party planning department has 3 packages to offer. Please make sure to visit our Birthday party section by clicking the link at the top of our page that says “Birthday Parties” and see what is available and don’t hesitate to give us a call at 510-785-8396 to reserve your birthday party date.

If you have never been to an APW live event, you don’t know what you are missing. They consist of HOUSE SHOWS and GYM WARS. We currently do house shows at Kezar in San Francisco. Fans attending our shows have always told us, “This show was awesome. You are better than the WWE”. We certainly don’t have the resources of the major promotions but you wouldn’t know it when you see the quality of the in-ring wrestling and the production values provided by our friends at Black Pants Production http://www.blackpants.net/index.html and www.onestopwrestleshop.com

The production values include big screens, great audio and lights, strobes and fog galore. It is easy to see why APW is one of the top Indy wrestling promotions in the U.S. If you have never attended an APW live event including our house shows and Gym Wars, please do so. These events are presented monthly as an extension of our training camp. They are training shows that allow our students the opportunity to perform in front of a small live audience. Nothing changes from our house shows. There are still lights, fog, big screens and stages for ring entrances. They are also FREE. Since the city does not permit us to charge because of zoning your price of admission is 3 canned goods of food and an unopened toy and we donate it to the needy. Although we don’t have budgets for these shows, we still bring in big-name talent from time to time and it is a bonus for the fans because we utilize these big-name talents to pass knowledge and experience to our students. Many pro wrestling training schools tried to offer the same thing but few still do and GYM WARS was the originator.

Our friends at ClickWrestle at http://www.clickwrestle.com were one of the originators of pro wrestling online footage. Please support them by visiting and seeing some viewing some great wrestling footage from all over the world and many of your favorite APW matches.

Hopefully, you’ll decide to check us out, if that is not possible, then I wish you the best of luck and hope you follow my advice.

We look forward to putting on entertaining shows for all ages and diverse crowds. We have our first date set for May 17th in San Jose, California at Mount Pleasant High School. We will be working with them all year long. We will be releasing the line up in the very near future but can confirm Hijo de Rey Misterio, Piratita Morgan and Octagoncito.

All Pro Wrestling blessed me many years ago with the opportunity to be a part of pro wrestling and I never thought I would be where I am at now. I am thankful for all the knowledge and the opportunities that were given to me, I will never forget. I am moving forward with a different chapter in my life but will never forget where I came from. I will still stay on with APW in some capacities and help where I can be of use.

We are very thankful for all the help and support in putting this together.

¡Viva la Revolución!
