Zachary Fowl isn’t a name that many people know across the
country in wrestling circles. His name doesn’t carry the
weight of Eustice, Nakamura, or even Cejudo. Yet Fowl, a 121
pounder from Port Deposit, Maryland, still looks forward to his chance
to win a Regional Qualifier knowing that all he wants, is a
chance.
Fowl sent Real Pro
Wrestling President Matt Case a thank you note expressing his
gratitude for his invitation to the Philadelphia qualifier set for
November 11th. “I just wanted to thank Real Pro
Wrestling for giving me the opportunity to live my childhood
dream!! It means the world to me and I am very grateful. I
think organizations like RPW make America a better place. Thank
you for opening this door.”
For years wrestlers have toiled in obscurity to continue their
wrestling careers, with little chance to eke out a living perfecting a
craft that is rarely understood by the mainstream press. Now with
the advent of RPW’s Season 2 wrestlers across the country are
signing up for one of four Regional Qualifiers with sites on both
increasing their longevity as an athlete and getting the sport more
recognition.
Mike Faust an up and coming heavyweight who graduated from Virginia
Tech and is now a part of the Iowa Hawkeyes program sees the potential
in Real Pro Wrestling. “I think its an exciting and
innovative concept that will finally bring wrestling to mainstream
America.”
Matt Morkel didn’t have a prominent career in college but he is
still enthusiastically pursuing the possibilities that RPW
offers. Morkel an American University graduate and former wrestler
for Omaha Skutt a powerhouse in Nebraska high school athletics clearly
sees that RPW is more than just a wrestling TV show.
“I think RPW is great for the sport of wrestling and everybody
out there. I love the sport so much and I think the exposure
wrestling will get from the league will open up new doors and
households. I know if people get a chance to see it, they will
appreciate it and all levels of wrestling will excel. I have
gained a great deal from wrestling and the more people who can learn
about the sport and benefit from it the better we all will be.”
With attitudes like Fowl's, Faust's, and Morkel's, Real Pro
Wrestling’s Season 2 is a success in the making. The more
the wrestling community sees the potential for the sport on television
and in live events, the more wrestling supporters will want to support
the efforts of RPW.
Fans of wrestling have four great opportunities to see the Real Pro
Wrestling qualifiers with the first event in San Jose, California
October 28th, followed by the November 4th event in Mt. Vernon,
Iowa. November 11th the Eastern Regional Qualifier in Philadelphia
with the last qualifier occurring November 18th in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
