AWS – Still here and still in Business.

Alternative Wrestling Show owner Bart Kapitzke has sent word that although the AWS has seen better days, the store is still here and open for business. AWS had to cancel a wrestling event scheduled for earlier this month. The canceling on the show hurt AWS drastically. However, the store was never shut down, nor closed for any reason. And according to Bart “If you have not been to the store in the past two days, the complete inside has been re-done and it is now alot easier to find what you are looking for. Lot’s of figures and dvd’s have been marked down! So come on down and check it all out!” If you are not able to make it to the store, you can always make requests to Bart. AWS specializes in wrestling figures (Lucha and WWE), AWS DVDs, Lucha Libre Merchandise, and AWS Apparel.

The bad news is that AWS the pro wrestling promotion’s live events are still on hold. Bart had decided to sit back and get his head together with new plans for the future of the AWS promotion. He isn’t sure if there will be a February Event, but action will return to AWS Outdoors Arena for the big AWS 7 year anniversary show for Sunday March 22, 2009.
