Just recently a wrestling promotion put on a show in my neighborhood, which just happened to be a promotion that visited my hometown (Danville Illinois) over two decades ago when I was in high school. That promotion is known as Windy City Pro Wrestling.
What surprised me was coming out to my car to leave for work, and seeing a tiny brochure left on my windshield. While waiting for my car to warm up, I read the brochure and realized that the event was the next day at the Broadway Armory in Edgewater neighborhood. Luckily, I had the day off the next day because I just had to go! I had a blast, even though I had previously worked a fifteen-hour shift. The best thing about the smaller promotions is that you can be heard clearer when you cheer and taunt the wrestlers compared to larger promotions like World Wrestling Entertainment due to the smaller crowd of fans. Back when I was a teenager, I dreamed of wrestling for this promotion, but ended up going a different path after high school.
There was a different roster of wrestlers compared to when they visited my hometown over two decades ago. Back then, I had the pleasure of watching Chi-Town T, Willie “Da Bomb” Richardson, Jayson Reign, Greg “The Hammer” Valentine, and Koko B Ware just to name a few.
A few that stood out to me at the most recent event in my neighborhood, which was titled ‘Windy City Pro Wrestling: The Legend Continues!’ were Amanda Rodriguez, Alex Taylor, Justin Smooth, Anthony Taylor, Crystal White, and Bigtime. Overall, I really enjoyed the event, and look forward to the next one that comes to town.

I wanted to share my experience at this event, plus it just happened to something that I dreamed of doing as a child : )
In these battles, women are interesting. The female fight hahaha
Yes, and I love watching them. They bring a different type of emotion compared to men, plus they look good overall. They say very hilarious things too, lol. I have plenty more of these to share
It is always a treat to revisit childhood pleasures as an adult…
Yes, indeed! It made my taunting a lot funner. I gave the guy Lennox Norris a very hard time, once he started talking about Chicago : )
If he was dissing Chi-town, he totally had it coming!
He did slightly struggle when he talked about our beloved Chicago White Sox. A better approach would have been talking about the Chicago Bears, because they truly suck, lol. Might of even hit home, if he talked about the Chicago Cubs. Most Chicagoans are Cubs fans, and they take it to heart when you bash.
Dissing your team is one thing, dissing your town is something else
