Everything Has a Beginning
by John Rambo

No matter what it is, it had to start somewhere.  So it goes for starting wrestling territories.  The WWF, WCW, ECW, USWA and the other fine organizations of the wrestling industry all started somewhere, as the result of one man's desire to associated with something he loved.

John Rambo is no different then any one of the founding fathers of  the previously named organizations.  Within just a few months work (which, by the way, has been 7 days a week), John Rambo has started a quality wrestling show each and every Tuesday evening at the House of Pain in Hagerstown, MD.  It has grown from an audience of about 8 fans to a packed house every week.  Just as many fans get turned away as there are to enter. By the way, there is NO CHARGE for admission.
 
John Rambo has said "Since I returned to the Hagerstown area, and began training and helping the already established wrestlers, I have noticed a large amount of wrestling fans there that lived within the vicinity of the S.P.W.T.C.  So I figured as a gesture of appreciation for watching and because I take pride in what I do for a living, I'll give them what they love the most-Live Action!  Ever since that first Tuesday night, everything keeps getting better and better.  My next move is to get a local T.V. station to show as much interest in it as the fans in the area. Which, by the way, are the best bunch of fans I've encountered in quite a while."
 
With the way thing have gone, and are going, chances are that the HoPWF will continue to be successful.  As to how much, that remains to be seen, but even if nothing more comes out of it, the HoPWF is already at a level of entertainment that would be missed very much if it was to dissolve.  When asked about his opinion on the future of the HoPWF, Rambo replied "I've been around for a good amount of years in this business.  I've been involved in a few attempts at starting new territories, specifically in the Pacific Northwest Region.  There was failure but there was also much success.  As to how I feel the HoPWF is going to hang, all I can say is each and every week wrestlers are improving.  Every week I put in continuous effort to each match on a Tuesday night and I will keep doing so.  Dedication, hard work and prayer are my main ingredients to making this work.  I hope it does, not just for the wrestlers sakes, but also all the wrestling fans out there who love, enjoy, and deserve excellent quality wrestling entertainment."
 
Only time itself will be able to tell how things will pan out for Rambo and the HoPWF, but you can bet your life savings that every wrestling fan in the Hagerstown area will be supporting the HoPWF!  Maybe one day the wrestling world will get to see mainstream media attention on the HoPWF's VERY REAL, VERY ROUGH style of wrestling that is already spreading by word of mouth through the entire wrestling industry itself.  There's been enough attempts at non-entertaining wrestling matches, and it's about time some serious hard working athletes get some due recognition.
 
Let's hope all goes well for the HoPWF and much more continued success in the future!!!!!!
