I have looked over all the proposed changes and heard the comments made from Dave Holland to numerous people that most of the stuff is being amended. I am glad to hear that and I hope he will be a man of his word and honor that. These new rules would hurt the pro wrestling business and would hurt the fundraising groups as well. It is not fair to the wrestlers or promoters to have to sit here and keep defending our profession because someone in the DPOR wants to make it hard on people to promote wrestling. We are not a legitimate sport, we are ENTERTAINMENT. I am tired of stuff being added at numerous wrestling shows saying we can not do this because we would have to get a MMA license, or you can't run a venue because of the time frame the show was in  and the location of it. That is discrimination at its finest. I am sorry if certain DPOR officials get mad at my comments but I am going to defend my profession. I will not be there Wednesday as I have started a new job and it is impossible to get time off right now and I apologize because I wanted to be there. So I am asking the DPOR to take a second look at what is going on here and consider what the effects could be if these rules went into effect, it would hurt us people looking to provide entertainment to the real wrestling fans of Virginia.

I just wanted to make my points made so they will be on public record. Thanks for your time and I hope Dave Holland keeps his word.
