My name is Jeff Capo.  I have been a licensed referee in Virginia for 3 years.  I reside in Columbia, Maryland.  I am against the proposed increases in the fees for wrestling.  I feel the fee increases is too steep.

The fee increases target Virginia promotion run by Virginias who operate on a meager budget.  By passing these increase you will putting these Virginia promotions out of business and hurting Virginias in the long run.

I usually travel 3 hours each way by car, spending money in Virginia.  We all know what professional wrestling really is. It is entertainment, not sport to be lumped into the same category as boxing.

Please think carefully about the proposed increases and listen to the voices of Virginias, fans promoters and wrestling before making a hasty decision.

Sincerely,

Jeff Capo - Referee for NWA Virginia
