As wrestling events and public gatherings overall continue to get shut down due to the Coronavirus outbreak, a Shelter In Place order by the state of Illinois AAW Wrestling has announced that their scheduled Fight For The Future tapings has been canceled.
This will shut down the scheduled tapings.
We couldn’t be any more frustrated with ourselves by not being able to pull this off.
The donation site will stay in place so we can get money to the talent affected by this. If you’re able to help we please ask that you do. https://t.co/hwetOEpO3u
