No 7: We work hard to try and create a real unity between wrestling fans in the UK and work hard to offer them an actual community which they can be a part of
The FWA, The Grapple Group and the team at Jobs in Wrestling come from different walks of life, have different ideals and values, are of varying age and all bring a completely unique skill set to professional wrestling. However, the one thing that we all have is that we were and are the most passionate of wrestling fans and longed to be part, not just of the industry, but also the community that comes with it. Yet this community does not simply end with the wrestlers and promoters themselves but stretches out to fans all across the UK who love our sport as well. The first version of the FWA benefited massively from the TalkSport Wrestling radio show which gave fans around the UK something that brought them together every Saturday evening regardless of what type of wrestling they were a fan of. This also trickled over into the old FWA itself, whose shows were treated by many fans a social occasion to see their friends from around the country. As a wrestling fan today there are so few things to bring us together and allow us to celebrate and enjoy our passion as a social group despite what your different taste in product may be. This is why the FWA will go above and beyond the call of duty in order give fans of wrestling around the UK a community.
With social gatherings such as pay per view parties, wrestler and fan nights out, video game tournaments, bus trips to events around the UK be they FWA or otherwise, wrestling merchandise auctions, and "evenings with" dinner parties featuring certain wrestlers from the UK and aboard. Although some of these may be organised by people on our behalf, and as such may be profit making ventures for them, we will always try to make them as financially viable for UK fans as we can and when possible, do so at no cost at all.
Our belief is that even if the people who we cater these events too are not fans of British Wrestling, this commitment to fans of our sport will go a long way in the future with regards to allowing us to showcase what the UK scene may have to offer, just as TalkSport once did for so many current fans of the British scene.
