Pro Wrestling Syndicate owner Eric Tapout made the following bombshell announcement earlier today:
PWS is proud to announce it’s new co-owner/promoter Pat Buck! Pat’s background stems from multiple years as a performer for many top name promotions, but will use his expertise to further expand the quality product that PWS will bring to independent wrestling fans.
“For too long I have seen wrestling companies dry up due to lack of budget, poor talent pool, bad booking, mistreatment of fans and workers by promoters, and other factors that can be avoided with proper planning, detailed budget, and sound mind. I am excited to work with PWS founder/owner Eric ‘Tapout’ Pleska and feel that together we will bring the most exciting, creative, and above all quality wrestling product to the Northeast area” – Pat Buck.
