A new promotion forms.
Darius Lockhart announced the formation of ASÉ, a black-owned wrestling company that will run in Charlotte, NC. The promotion will hold its debut event on December 1 in Charlotte, NC.
From Darius:
A new black-owned Pro Wrestling company, ASE, is looking to revive the culture of the sport in Charlotte, NC, while also creating a more diverse landscape. ASÉ will run its first show at The Historic Grady Cole Center on December 1, 2023. The company is the brain-child of Charlotte native and 10- year professional wrestling veteran Darius Lockhart, who’s been featured in the ring on NWA, AEW and internationally.
“As a student of the game and a lover of Pro Wrestling since the age of 12, 1 noticed the people who are running the show didn’t always look as diverse as the people working for them in the ring.” Lockhart said. “I want to combat marginalization through Pro Wrestling.”
What: ASÉ’s debut event
