increases need to be thrown out
 

You know Scotty you are right they are trying to put indys out of va. but yet they don't mess with the lucha-libre or charge them any when they run in va.

This is a travesty and hopefully there will be enough voices to be heard and I agree they do put it at a time when hardly anyone can make it and also I agree that all our brothers and sisters even if you have never stepped foot through the ropes in virginia still let your voice be heard and try to help us the workers in va and the other indys in virginia to try to put a stop to this wheat technically how i look at it as a crime might as well be theft what do they need our money for not a thing!!!!  I mean heck most workers might get a few bucks here and there for a payoff but the main reason we do it isn't for the money because it is something we love to do and have the heart to do and put our bodies on the line night after night. Also if this increase does happen what indys that can still run that will be few of them will have to raise ticket prices and with the economy the way it is people ( THR FANS ) will not be able to pay for it yeah the promoters and workers have to pay  to get their liscense ther event and workers and building fee plus in the end yes in hurts the people that love to do it but the ones it hurts the most in the end is the fans. So hopefully somthing can be done about this and hopefully everyone will put a word thier input in on this very urgent topic even if you don't work in Virginia let your voice be heard but please remember always be professional about what you say and do!!!
