Chicago Wrestling, not just hot air

By Bob O' Brien

I will be bringing you the best info I can straight out of the Windy City to you here at USA! Indy.COM. I will allow you to know that I will be covering the 4 top independent groups in Chicago. Pro Championship Wrestling - (PCW, the newer and refreshing version of old PWI.) Lunatic Wrestling Federation - (LWF, the push the envelope group of the Windy City.) Midwest Championship Wrestling - (The newest kid on the block, might be the shortest lived.) Windy City Pro Wrestling - (By far the oldest, most entertaining and loved in Chicago.)

The next show is only advertised as Feb. 23rd in Crestwood. The February Second Show will determine the happenings of the 23rd.

WCPW has a plate full of up and coming events. FIRST - Wednesday, JANUARY 23rd at 9:30PM CST, (Check Your Local Listings,) you can see WCPW stars at the Slag Valley Studio Training center on INSOMNIACS. Between South Park and The Daily Show Wednesday Night. On January 26, 2001 UAPW, (the baby of parent company WCPW, which focuses on the less fortunate communities. To bring them their favorite entertainment at a lower cost and create roll models they might be able to relate too.) Will be going to Danville, at the Laura Lee Fellowship House. The bell time is 6:30 PM. Willie “Da Bomb” Richardson will defend the UAPW Heavy Weight Title, 9 - Mil will defend his Inner City Championship and LOS MEXICANOS will put their UAPW Tag Team Gold On the line as well.

Then February 23rd and 24th. WCPW will run back to back TV tapings for their show on 62 WJYS Monday nights at 11:30 PM CST. Matches are yet to be announced BUT, there will be qualifying matches for the 2nd Annual Lee Sanders Memorial Cup Tournament, to take place March 16th. I will give you the facts I do know.

February 23rd, at TAFT H.S. in Chicago 7:30PM bell. WCPW CAUGHT IN THE ACT will feature the qualifying matches For the Lee Sanders Tourney. Also, Terry Allen the WCPW League Champion will be able to compete for the first time since November. His return is not supposed to be until the next night but sources have said there is good probability they will ask him to wrestle the 23rsd as well.

February 24th at Bourbon Street in Merrionette Park 6:00PM Bell. WCPW SENDING THE DEVIL BACK TO HELL will, I am sure focus on the feud between WCPW League Champion Terry Allen and The Impaler Baltazar, as their feud has been building for months!

Both of these TV tapings will be what leads us up to BATTLE OF THE BELTS 2002. THE WCPW ANNUAL MEGA EVENT of the YEAR.

I will have more soon.
