Caul’s Call
Big and bold move by Imperial World Wrestling for their next event. Regardless of New York State’s ban of large events 500 a more, they carry on. As currently, they are the only un-suspended, non-canceled wrestling event in New York. I personally hope to see them continue to break the norm in this manner. I also hope we get more information on the Purple Heart Cup as well. Stay tuned for more as we have it.
