Prestige Wrestling Still Holding FJR Event, Proceeds Going To RAINN
Though Joey Ryan is no longer booked by Portland Wrestling, Prestige Wrestling will still hold its FJR event.
The event began as a counter to Portland Wrestling, which canceled Ryan’s appearance after backlash from the initial announcement. Ryan was named in Speaking Out in 2020 with nearly 20 allegations against him.
Prestige Wrestling will keep its FJR event with 100% of the profits going to RAINN.

***FJR UPDATE – PLEASE READ & SHARE TO SPREAD AWARENESS***
(Some of this stays along the lines of the “if you know, you know” tagline, do some research and you’ll figure it out)
We have been informed that the show that our event was “counter programming” has removed the source of our inspiration from their event & is proclaiming on social media their show is at risk of being cancelled due to our interference.
I believe it is something to note that you should visit their Facebook page & read their responses in regards to this situation. Between their current status & their reaction on a previously deleted status it is clear they did not make changes to their event in any sign of good faith, but instead couldn’t handle the public backlash & are attempting to frame the situation in a “poor me, we were trying to do something good” light.
“Stand on business” is a phrase that I have heard a lot lately & is something I have practiced for years. While other promotions in the region may choose to stay silent & just let things like this pass without issue, I believe it is up to those that have helped build the scene into what it is today to make sure we don’t fall victim to the same bullshit that has plagued independent wrestling for years, to make sure our talent, fans & employees have a positive & save experience always.
We have built a reputation over the past 8+ years of being the pinnacle of professional wrestling in the Pacific Northwest & we won’t let some goof that runs a Facebook page give our scene a poor reputation. Ever.
WITH THAT SAID…
FJR will absolutely still be taking place on August 23rd in Portland. The venue is to be determined but we are working on multiple options currently. We have wrestlers from numerous promotions, from all over the United States coming in for this event to support a good cause.
100% of profit made after expenses will be donated to RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network).
