New Wave Pro’s Creative Director Earl Joseph said: “This is a big show for New Wave Pro for many reasons. First of all, going outside of Indiana for the first time in our history is a sign of our growth and ambitions to expand further.
“Second, this show is an indication of just where New Wave Pro is heading in both its short and long-term future. Not only do we have established home-grown names like Don’t Die Miles, Eric Dillinger and Nate Matthews, and not only are we bringing in high-caliber stars such as Myron Reed and Kylie Rae, but we are also building for the future with Crash Jaxon, Billy Tipton and Infrared.
If you thought New Wave Pro was doing good things now, keep watching, because it will always get better!”

– Speaking in a Sports Illustrated piece about Colby Covington wanting to potentially cross over into WWE, Drew McIntyre spoke about the grind associated with wrestling for the top company in the world.
“It’s tougher than it seems,” says McIntyre, who has been wrestling across the globe for the past 21 years. “That’s the one thing I hear from every high-level athlete, whether they’re someone from MMA, an Olympian, All-Americans, or football players. The physical aspect is important, but so is the mental element.
“This is 52 weeks a year. Live events. Life on the road. It is a real commitment, one not everyone is willing to make.”

– Speaking with Rick Ucchino of Bleav in Pro Wrestling, Corey Graves spoke about Stone Cold’s potential return.
“It’s so weird to me. Again, back to me being a fan. A few years back, I got to call Undertaker matches and Shawn Michaels’ return in Saudi Arabia. I’ve called Goldberg matches. These guys that I grew up… and they were heroes to me, and I’ve been able to voice some of their moments. It’s all surreal. At this point, I think Austin and McMahon are about the only two left that I haven’t gotten to call in some capacity. If I can get one of them this year, you know, leave something for next year.”
