Pro wrestling comes to Main Street

Chris Graham

Awesome Wrestling Entertainment has opened its East Coast corporate headquarters in a location in Downtown Waynesboro.

The company, which stages live-event pro-wrestling shows across the United States, has set up its East Coast office at 421 W. Main St., Waynesboro.

“This is a big step for us as a company,” said CEO Marvin Ward, who is putting the finishing touches on two Virginia shows – Sept. 17’s AWE Awesome Night of the Superstars in Woodstock and Oct. 15’s AWE Awesome Night of the Legends at Augusta Expo in Fishersville.

AWE is currently in negotiations with television networks and live-event pay-per-view TV providers to take its product to cable TV in late 2011 or early 2012.

“Fans are really responding well to our product,” said Ward, noting the more than 55,000 likes on AWE’s Facebook page.

“We want to see this business grow, and we’re glad to be here in Waynesboro as we climb the ladder of success in our industry,” Ward said.
