Listen
to what the experts have to
say about All Pro Wrestling...
David
Meltzer - Wrestling Observer Newsletter Editor
"...Their
program is one of the most professional indy programs I've
seen."
"Got a chance to see the local All Pro Wrestling show
and it's basically a collection of guys trained at Roland
Alexander's school in Hayward. The positives were the guys
were well trained in building a match rather than just going
out there and doing moves, and from an execution standpoint,
they are way ahead of most indy workers I've seen."
"I
left the ECW Arena with the same feeling that I have at every
show I've attended from the promotion. It was a good show.
The wrestlers worked very hard. A lot of thought was put into
the storylines. And the wrestling itself is incredibly
overrated in some circles. It's great independent wrestling,
and that's a compliment because it's an independent level
promotion. But a few weeks back I attended a local indy show
at a gym in Hayward, CA (Editor's note: APW Gym Wars at All Pro Wrestling Gymnasium) and I can't say there was
much of a difference overall when it came to work rate on the
two shows. The guys take more risks than WWF or WCW guys and
a few of them are better, but overall the level of work isn't
at major league level. The local indy guys worked as hard as
they could, some took risks, and threw some 90's moves. Their
matches by and large built better and had more psychology.
Overall, the real green guys on the Hayward indy were worlds
away from being even the worst wrestler on the ECW show, but
the guys with a little experience weren't that far off.
Robert Thompson and Steve Rizzono worked a more solid match
than anything at November to Remember with the exception of a
match with a legend like Terry Funk or a wrestler with world
class potential like Chris Candito (Editor's note: who by the
way had a good match against Spike Dudley, who is a former
wrestler for this local indie and a graduate of our top
wrestling school). ECW had more blood, more broken tables,
more low blows, more topes and more risks and God knows tons
better storylines. But in doing so many spots with high
margins of error, I also groaned ten times as much at the ECW
Arena over missed spots than I did at the local show, and
some of those guys had only five or six matches under their
belt."
Cowboy
Lang - Midget Wrestler - 27 years veteran
"I've
been in this business 27 years and have traveled worldwide.
This talented group of wrestlers look like they have 10 years
experience and not 10 matches. This is definitely the best
independent promotion I've wrestled for in the last 11 years.
They are very well trained."
Red
Bastien - Hall of Fame Wrestler
"They
are well trained and way ahead of their time."
Chief
Jay Strongbow - Ex Pro Wrestler/WWF Road Agent
"... you've got fundamental guys. They are well trained
wrestlers..."
And what would
wrestling be without it's fans? Below is a sampling of the fan letters
we've received.
"I've
been very fortunate in the past 15 years to have seen the
WWF, WCW, SMW, and AWA in person, as well as other really bad indies. All Pro
Wrestling has some of the best wrestling
talent I've ever seen. After seeing this promotion in person,
it made me realize how stale and repetitive the WWF, WCW and
other organizations really are. If anyone was a fan of the
old style of wrestling but with new faces, I very strongly
recommend seeing this promotion in action." - Melody
Seymour
"Just a quick note expressing to
you on what I think is an excellent job done by APW. APW in my opinion is worthy
of Nationwide recognition for its incredible work. Your shows are top notch from
the bottom to the top, entertaining and mind stimulating, the way wrestling
shows should be. Watching my APW tapes ( Live in NY, still aspiring to get out
to California to see a live APW) gives me a feel on how a wrestling show should
be booked.
Just wanted to drop you a congratulatory
letter on this excellent product that is APW.
I wish you luck in finding a TV outlet
as I honestly feel this would propel you to awesome heights. The Boot Camp
talent is something fresh and exciting, and watching the old mainstays such as
Modest and Morgan gives you a good feeling. Once again Roland, Kudos to you."
- Brad Osoba
"I
just got done watching APW here in Merced and I must say....it was great. This
was my first APW event and my little sisters first ever wrestling event. It
could not have been a better night.
I want to take this time to thank APW
and their local promoter for making this happen.
I also want to say thank you to Michael
Modest. He took a picture with my sister during intermission, and still
remembered her name later on when she asked for an autograph. This may not sound
like much but remember it was her first show. Even though she is in her teens
that one little act really excited her and made her feel like part of the
show.....THANK YOU MICHAEL!!"
