NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA PROMOTIONS
This area of Pennsylvania is lucky to host some of the most regarded promotions of the independent pro wrestling scene.----------------------
The newest addition to area independent wrestling, highlighted by their quality talent.
Who So Over: For ability - Mike Quackenbush and for comedic appeal - Zane Madrox
Who We Love to Hate: Kid Kruel. Viscous and brutal and with a look that means business.
Most Potential: UltraMantis impressed those in attendance of Chikara�s first show.
Too Big For THEIR Britches: The GoldBond Mafia, as a collective unit, they make most people groan with disgust, yet �jeer� with their antics.
----------------------
Formerly known as EWF, they have developed a loyal and dedicated fan base. Is attempting to mix old school wrestling with high fast-paced action. Unfortunately, has spaces between many of their shows.
Who So Over: Blind Rage and his feud with Ran Zander
Who We Love to Hate: Bad Crew�s Crazy Jake for beating Mongoose for the title and for Bad Crew�s
Most Potential: York/Matthews and The Backseat Boys, their experience so far leads them to the most possible potential for the future.
Too Big for THEIR Britches: The OVER Boys�I mean, come on!
----------------------
>Currently holds the reigns in State College, PA. This incarnation of wrestling at Penn State (previously the Nittany Wrestling Federation, which replaced the Different Wrestling Federation) is the ONLY one run and held licensing by an institution of higher education. Highest incentive to go - it�s FREE!
Who So Over: Ruckus couldn�t be MORE over.
Who We Love to Hate: Rockin� Rebel. Who COULD hate this racist hick more?
Most Potential: Fumar has been flying his way through matches since the DWF days. This light-heavyweight could teach anyone a lesson.
Too Big for His Britches: Greg Spitz, half of the �Well Hung Warriors� would make Golddust blush.
----------------------
Old school promotion recently announced looking for more and better workers. But since that initial outreach, nothing has been mentioned of even any upcoming shows. Last show seemed to host a fairly solid card.
Who So Over: H.C. Loc of ECW fame is staying active on the Indy scene around the country.
Who We Love to Hate: Eric Everlast is becoming a top indy star, but is also a pain for the PYW fans.
Most Potential: Hellcat has made his name in New York and could easily make waves in PA.
Too Big for THEIR Britches: The Team of Chills and Thrills, Big Papa Chill and The Canadian Thrill. Both got it in the end though when Amanda Storm defeated them both in a handicapped match-up.
----------------------
Premiere Wrestling Federation � Universal
One of the many feds forming regional alliances. NEPA�s own original PWF is now PWF-Universal and is the home base for the growing Premiere name (PWF North East in the Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island tri-state area and PWF Mid South in Tennessee). Is becoming one of the hottest promotions out there and certainly one of the top on the east coast.
Who So Over: Red and The SAT. Fans love their style and fast-paced action.
Who We Love to Hate: Guillotine LeGrande believes he�s a part of history. Fans wish it was the past.
Most Potential: �Fallen Angel� Chris Daniels should have been with the WWF years ago.
Too Big for His Britches: Nick Berk definitely leaves a fowl taste in everyone�s mouth.
----------------------
World Star Wrestling Federation
Currently revamping their promotion and have joined with the All-American Wrestling Federation out of the Baltimore, MD area. Has been attempting to recruit new talent to pump up their roster.
Who So Over: The promotion�s realization of need for new talent.
Who We Love to Hate: Otto Schtark leaves not only red welt marks on his opponents� chests, but a distinct almost painful mark in the minds of the crowd.
Most Potential: The Hardcore Mafia...at least in NEPA.
Too Big for His Britches: Johnny Glitter brings too much sparkle and an annoying voice to the crowd.
----------------------
A mainstay in NEPA�s pro wrestling scene and most recognized by owner Afa, the Wild Samoan. Started 2002 with a bang, but shows are drifting. Is growing it�s television scope to reach not only most the east coast, but the South Pacific! Fans hope the place that�s already brought over half a decade of pro wrestling to the area only grows more.
Who So Over: Tommy Suede is reaching his potential and seems to have upped the stakes with his in-ring performance and fans definitely recognize it.
Who We Love to Hate: Crappy the Clown, he�s well...Crap and makes the crowd groan regularly.
Most Potential: Afa Jr. has the name, youth, the name. Did I mention he�s the Rock�s cousin?
Too Big for His Britches: Supreme Lee Great can work a crowd, love him or hate him. His antics bring more eye rolls than boos.
