From NWA-NJ Commissioner Rick Silver

“Wrestling fans, workers and all others concerned:

Recently, the National Wrestling Alliance declared the United Wrestling Alliance to be the NWA’s representative body in New Jersey. There has been some controversy over whether Fred Rubenstein or others had or have the rights to the NWA license in New Jersey.

I’ve been a part of the NWA for many years. I worked for NWA-NJ in 1997. I was Commissioner of NWA-NY in 1999 and 2000. I helped run their shows, and I produced their TV for a short period of time. I believe in the NWA & I’m honored to hold my previous & current positions.

People who know me know that, while I may have a loud mouth, I’m honest & I say what I mean. So, I only have this to say about the senseless ‘controversy’: The proof is on the NWA Website. I need say no more.

UWA isn’t going to send out 500 press releases trying to discredit the competition. We’re not going to “buy the rights” to wrestling promotions & pretend we’re starting a cooperative union of promoters. I mean, come on. This is New Jersey. You really don’t think everyone’s just out to put themselves over anyway? If you don’t, you’ve never promoted in New Jersey!

Furthermore, we’re not going to call the competition liars & thieves. We’re certain the other involved parties have their reasons for believing what they believe. And, lastly, we’re not going to bring the fight to our fans by debuting “characters” based on this legal dispute. Yeesh.

All we want to do is put on wrestling shows that our fan base enjoys. Lately, I believe we’ve been doing just that. Our fans are enthusiastic & have a great time at our shows.

Is UWA for everybody? Of course not. Is anything?

Does it dishearten me to see people make prejudiced opinions about the truthfulness of our statements or the quality of our product based on their dealings (or lack thereof) with a personal friend of mine who has never done me wrong? Of course it does.

Would I be happier if we were internet darlings? Maybe. It’s nice to be liked. But it’s better to be true to oneself, set goals & surpass them. I’m happy to say I’m confident that’s what we’re doing now.

But none of that is important.

We’re just going to keep on running shows. There’s room for just about everyone. The promotions that put on crummy shows will die out without anyone else’s help.

We’ve been around for years. We’re not leaving. And we will continue to grow.

Hopefully, you can be there with us.

Sincerely,
Rick Silver
Commissioner, NWA-NJ
