Hello, and welcome to this week's NWL WEEKLY Newsletter. If you're looking for all the latest news pertaining to the National Wrestling League, HOUSE of PAIN Wrestling Federation and the Superior Pro Wrestling Training Center, you've come to the right place! On Tuesday, January 13th, Sexy Shane Shadows appeared at the HoPWF practice session at the NWL's SPWTC/HOUSE of PAIN and had some words to say to the fans. Shadows told the fans how there will be big changes at the wrestling school after he defeats John Rambo in the main event shootfight on January 31st. Shadows promised the fans they're in for a really big surprise and they better enjoy the last remaining free events in Hagerstown, MD.
Seating reservations for any "free admission" HoPWF event
can be made by emailing JRamboNWL@aol.com.

Every Tuesday evening and Saturday nights when we're not on the road, the NWL/HoPWF holds practice sessions open to the public at the NWL's Superior Pro Wrestling Training Center/HOUSE of PAIN in Hagerstown, MD. Bell time is 7:30PM and parking and admission is always free! The SPWTC/HOUSE of PAIN is located right off I-70 or I-81, and directions and maps are posted at NWL School Maps. There are plenty of eateries in the area if you need food or drinks. If you have the time, stop by for a guaranteed fun filled evening at the NWL's SPWTC/HOUSE of PAIN. Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied with a parent or guardian when attending any of the NWL/HoPWF practice sessions.The NWL/HoPWF's "Open Door" policy is offered to any worker in the business. Whether you're a trained professional wrestler, manager, referee, valet or trainee enrolled at an actual training center, the "Open Door" policy can help you chase your dreams. If you're looking to gain that much needed experience and exposure, the HoPWF weekly events are perfect for accomplishing that goal. Over the last three years, many workers have taken advantage of the "Open Door" policy and benefited from the decision. Not only do you get to brush up and improve your skills, but you also get a foot in the door to many other bookings on NWL shows and other league's events. You won't put any money in your pockets at the HoPWF events, but what knowledge and experience you pick up, money cannot buy! Opportunities like this don't come around often! There is only one condition with participating in any HoPWF event, and that is every wrestler must wear a pair of actual professional wrestling boots. No sneakers or treaded sole work boots are permitted on the HoP ring canvas. I guarantee a great time for anyone who joins in the action, and if you're interested, simply contact me at JRamboNWL@aol.com. Opportunities like this don't come around often!
Any professional wrestler is welcome to take part in the NWL/HoPWF's shootfighting division. To sign up for an HoPWF "shootfight" match, e-mail me at JRamboNWL@aol.com.
All HoPWF events held at the NWL training center are FREE ADMISSION events. There is no charge for parking or for admission to see all the wrestling action, which has been offered to the fans each Tuesday night, since April 1, 1997. If you're ever in the Hagerstown, MD area, stop by and check out the free professional wrestling entertainment. I guarantee everyone a fun time for the entire family!
Special tuition discounts (Military and College) are offered in the
NWL website for the NWL's Superior Pro Wrestling Training Center. Further information can

Each week I rate every wrestler in each match and select the WRESTLER OF THE WEEK. There
are 5 categories, with points handed out on a scale of 0 to 5 (Best possible score being
25 pts). The wrestler who gets the highest combined score is the "wrestler of the
week." The 5 grading categories are as follows:
1. Attitude- Wrestlers will be graded on their overall attitude and
respect for the business.
2. Skill- I will watch for proper technique, creativity, and safety.
3. Showmanship- Wrestlers will be graded on how well they interact with
the fans. Good showmanship will get the fans into a match and get them making noise.
4. Sportsmanship- Wrestlers will be graded on how well they treat the
other workers, both in and out of the ring. Respect is a key factor.
5. Match Execution- Wrestlers will be graded on how well they carry out
their roles as "heel" or "face." Match psychology is also an important
factor. This is not how well the wrestlers follow a script.
This week's "wrestler of the week" winner is
Bigtime Cory Bush for his performance at the 12-16-08 NWL/HoPWF Tuesday Night Practice Session at the NWL's SPWTC/HOUSE of PAIN in Hagerstown, MD. Cory's scores are as follows:| 1. Attitude | 5 | ||
| 2. Skill 5 | 5 | ||
| 3. Showmanship | 5 | ||
| 4. Sportsmanship | 5 | ||
| 5. Match Execution | 5 | ||
| Total high score | 25 | pts - Perfect Score |
Wrestler of the Week: Bigtime Cory Bush

The NWL/HOUSE of PAIN is always looking for help with the street team,
ring crew and setting up chairs for events. Street team
members are responsible for distributing show fliers and hanging up posters. Anyone
who helps with the ring or chairs is required to report to the road show venues 3 hours
prior to bell time or they can meet up at the SPWTC/HOUSE of PAIN in Hagerstown, MD, and
travel to the shows with the ring crew. This is a good way for younger fans to get free
admission into NWL/HoPWF road show events. If anyone is interested in any of the above
openings, please contact John Rambo at JRamboNWL@aol.com.
