As we build towards next months PPV, we are building excitement by sharing clips from past Rumbles! Remember you can watch this years WWE Royal Rumble on the WWE Network, and you get a FREE month if you sign up today!
We have worked hard to build throughout 2016, and our platform is growing significantly! To build on this growth we are looking for a few good content creators!
Do you go to local independent events, and want to submit show results, or photos?
Do you religiously watch televised wrestling, and want to write up weekly results?
Do you draw, and want your wrestling artwork featured?
Are you interested in making Top 10 lists?
Do you want to write editorials on the state of wrestling to have your opinions heard?
Do you play wrestling video games and stream it live?
Do you own a promotion/school and want to have upcoming events listed on our site?
We are looking for all this and more, so if you have ideas for content you would like to create, please let us know! Right now we are looking to do a 3 month internship with no pay, if we like what we see after 3 months we may be able to offer a small stipend per piece. This is not a full time job, nor will it make you, or us rich, but will give you experience to build on, and a platform to voice your opinions, get your artwork seen, and as a building block for your resume that we know you will submit to be a WWE staff writer, someday. In the meantime, cut your teeth as part of our team!
So if you are interested, reach out to lizsavage@betwresting.com, as I will be conducting initial interviews, and taking idea submissions!

Final Chapter is always a tumultuous time in Perth Pro Wrestling, but this year we saw more than our fair share of endings, and at least a few new beginnings.
Bring on 2017, Perth Pro Wrestling Old School Reload, and the longest-running tag team tournament in Australian Wrestling history, the Headshrinker Samu Legacy Cup Tournament!
With The World Title on the line Eddie Edwards defends against EC3. Who would leave as Champion? Who would secure the victory? In this epic encounter it could have gone either way!
When you are immersed so deeply in a world of “make believe” sometimes the lines of reality are blurred. Whether it be from true mental health issues, brain injury related issues, or substance abuse, it is sometimes hard to tell what is going on when wrestlers act out.
How many of us who fought our way through the independent scene have brain damage? We hear of high profile cases like Chris Benoit, but we rarely talk about how the same thing can affect others in the industry whether they realize it or not.
Substance abuse is another issue, as this can stem from a number of triggers whether it be to deal with pain from injury, emotional pain, or recreational use. This can ultimately lead to unsafe situations for not only the person using, but those around them.
Mental Health issues are a normal part of society. Unfortunately we discuss it as a stigma, instead of working to find the roots of these issues, and address them, rather than demonizing those who are suffering.
If you see someone who you think needs attention there are many ways to be there for them. You can start out by listening, spending time with them, taking them out of their environment for a while, making them or taking them to dinner.
Here is a guide to Mental Health Alternatives you can embody as a community to help support each other: http://ram-a.net/sites/default/files/FMTBM_final_wcovers.pdf
So lets stop judging peoples actions, and start being more attentive to those who need community support.
