Ready to Roll!!
Time Honored Excellence
T.H.E. Pro Wrestling
It feels like forever ago I first wrote about starting my own promotion based in my home area of Central Pennsylvania.
Now after securing a venue, Ring, license as well as coming up with a company name (and then having to start over), registering a business, opening a business bank account, getting tickets ready to sell and finalizing a logo, I'm finally ready to release everything. Thank you to Bob Evans for all of the assistance and guidance
Tomorrow at noon EDT, VIP tickets go on sale for the debut of Time Honored Excellence - T.H.E. Pro Wrestling. Saturday August 9th at the Carlisle Expo Center in Carlisle, PA. Bell time is 6pm.
WHAT IS TIME HONORED EXCELLENCE? It's THE Pro Wrestling in Central Pennsylvania. T.H.E. is pronounced "THEE" and it represents my vision of Wrestling. As we used to read in the Apter mags, Fan Favorites vs Rulebreakers. Good guys vs Bad guys. Local wrestling that serves the community through family-friendly Pro Wrestling at affordable prices.
WHO IS ON THE CARD?
So far, we have booked just about everyone for the first event. Names like Sean Carr, Brandon Day, Wrecking Ball Legursky and the Golden Era - David Goldy and Brian Morris are on our debut card. These wrestlers are "in demand" in the industry from upstate New York, Ohio, New England and New Jersey. Many more announcements to come!
WHAT MAKE T.H.E. PRO WRESTLING DIFFERENT?
In addition to a fundamental approach to Pro Wrestling, Time Honored Excellence will serve the local business community by sharing local businesses to the world at large. Every small business has a story and you will meet many of the small business owners right here across social media platforms. Our hope is the light we shine through the beacon of Pro Wrestling helps their businesses grow in Carlisle and throughout the region.
After showing the Carlisle community what we do, we will begin to spread our wings throughout Central Pennsylvania and help businesses grow in other towns throughout the region.
TICKETS
85 VIP tickets go on sale tomorrow at noon EDT through EventBright. VIP fans will enjoy ringside seats and will receive a commemorative T-shirt, a souvenir poster, a gift bag featuring items from local stores and vendors and VIP's get free pizza! These limited seats are $50 each.
We also have a SUPER FAN section that gets all you can eat pizza and sodas and other surprises as well. 100 seats at $35 each. Those tickets go on sale later this week.

MERCHANDISE AND MORE!
We will have t-shirts available for sale at the venue and fans from all across the world will be able to order our first shirt. The logo, designed by Richard F Fonseca, is incredible and I can't wait to see fans wearing it
Earlier this year, Kelly expressed the desire to return to New Japan Pro Wrestling for Wrestle Kingdom 20. You can read more about that here.
