New Jersey Township Bans Professional Wrestling

Eric Tapout of Pro Wrestling Syndicate sent out a release following their WrestleMania weekend “PWS Super Show” iPPV in Metuchen, NJ.

“The township of Metuchen NJ has banned all professional wrestling and MMA events forcing PWS to relocate scheduled events.

At PWS Super Card we were greeted by a “zoning officer” whom was snooping around the Sports Plex trying to find any wrong doing. He found nothing. He returned the following night for a repeat performance.

There was no wrong doing at Super Card . We hired police officers in addition to our security & parking attendants. Metuchen Fire were also present to ensure all exits were clear and we were not over capacity. The fire marshal even stopped by both nights of Super Card and everything was up to code.

Pat and I were informed via The Sports Plex GM that the township of Metuchen would be requiring all promoters running live wrestling or mixed martial events to obtain a permit. When the township was informed about promoters obtaining the permit they rapidly changed their tune from ‘get the permit and you’re fine’ to ‘nahh even with the permit you cant run shows.’

Therefore, as PWS refuses to cancel events .. we are relocating all of our events which were scheduled to take place at The Sports Plex in Metuchen to other suitable locations. The first instance of this was the May 11th Bombshell Ladies Of Wrestling event being moved to The Iselin Knights Of Columbus.

We thank you guys for your understanding and continued support of PWS. We will provide you with updates as we get them.
