The Indigenous Wrestling Alliance has a big TV taping set for January 27 at the Winnipeg Convention Centre on Jan 27. Booked for the card are Curt Hennig and Jerry Lynn , along with IWA stars Stands With The Thunder and Dr. Luther. Scoring a TV deal, ideally with the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network across Canada, and on CKY in Winnipeg, is only a small part of Mayer's grand plan. I've got three parts to the business. The first part is a TV taping.
Second part is the development for the running of shows in the aboriginal communities.
In the various native newspapers across Canada, Mayer is encouraging aboriginals who are interested in a career in wrestling to contact him through the paper. In February, he and Condello will start contacting those that they think have potential. We're looking at the whole aspect of people involved, not just the wrestling end of it, but valets, managers, referees. I'm thinking that it would be very nice if we could start getting some of the employment aspects of the wrestling industry filtering through to my community. And wrestling has always been big within the aboriginal community.
