"Hey, Pat, why did you announce the last few matches at Pro Wrestling Symphony's Free For All event at Ole Smoky Distillery wearing shorts? Was it because of the heat?"

"Um..."

When I was seven years old, I got my first Hasbro WWF action figures (Hulk Hogan and Ted DiBiase, if memory serves). Then as the years went on, more tiny plastic "Superstars" joined my roster, then a ring, and before you know it, I'm booking full-on storylines stretching across months with these little emotionless projectiles telling my stories.

Ask my sister Kim about the night the Berzerker tried to frame Papa Shango for pushing him off the balcony of the arena. It was compelling stuff.

Then came the Wrestling Buddies and an old mattress and sofa in the basement as my "ring." Then the video games. Then the ill-fated attempt at trampoline wrestling that led to my first "hardway color" and a stern talking-to about how that wasn't going to happen anymore.

Then came real life. Jobs and dating and moving and break-ups and promotions and rejections for promotions and marriage and a mortgage and that seven year old kid booking wrestling shows in his bedroom was gone.

Or so I thought.

A series of improbable events led me to Brooklyn Bowl in Nashville one year ago today. Suddenly, I'm surrounded by dozens of the most dedicated people I've had the pleasure to know, and we're putting on a show that I helped book! For months, Connor Casey, Rory T. Miller, and I had sent countless emails, made countless phone calls, had met with a million sponsors and venues, and somehow here we were at OUR wrestling show. Pro Wrestling Symphony was real.

Over the 365 days that followed, we've put together 11 shows that I'm so proud of I can't even find the words. We've worked with former world champions, TV stars, viral sensations, a dog, and our own homegrown crew of the most dedicated young athletes in the business to put on nearly a dozen shows that I'll be watching and re-watching for the rest of my life.

And that was just year one.

In five days, year two kicks off with Resistance, our debut at the hallowed Nashville Fairgrounds as part of the Music City Fit Expo. We've got six more shows at five venues after that before the end of 2026 with new stars debuting, rivalries coming to a head, and more banger matches than should be legal.

If you're not already on the bandwagon, now's a great time to hop on (including by buying tickets to Resistance at pwsymphony.com/tickets). If not for 43-year-old me, do it for that kid on the ugly red '80s carpet accidentally breaking Rick Rude's arm off trying to give Brutus Beefcake a neckbreaker. Do it for the middle schooler wrapping an empty cardboard box in a jump rope, calling it a barbed-wire table, and putting a plush Hulk Hogan through it. Do it for the teenager who got a bloody lip from a chop block gone horribly wrong. Do it for the college kid staying up 'til 2 AM playing EWR.

Dreams do come true, but they're rarely in a hurry.

In just under 30 hours, the biggest show in Pro Wrestling Symphony's brief history takes place at Eastside Bowl under the Blinding Lights!

- Men's Champion Colby Carter defends the gold against one of the gatekeeper of Nashville wrestling, and a personal mentor, Jeremiah Plunkett! Will Colby prove to be the true new face of Music City, allowing Plunkie to ride off into the sunset? Or does wrestling's last journeyman still have a few tricks up his sleeve?

- Women's Champion Freya the Slaya, fresh off two successful defenses at East Nashville Beer Fest, faces her steepest challenge yet against Allie Katch! The indie legend (and former Southern Underground Pro mainstay) makes her first Nashville appearance in nearly four years and intends to leave with the title!

- Royal Prestige (Majestic and TéVon Jordyn) became the first-ever Pro Wrestling Symphony Tag Team Champions at Beer Fest, and now must defend their titles against another pair of southeast indie mainstays, The Carnies (Kerry Awful and Nick Iggy). This is a rematch from their first encounter in September. Can RP pull out the victory again or will their title reign be short-lived?

- After months of chase, Alexis Littlefoot finally gets her chance at the WWE ID Women's Championship and Laynie Luck! Laynie has thrown obstacle after obstacle in Alexis' way, but there will be no excuses at Blinding Lights when the title is on the line!

- Adrian Thomas came up short in his bid to become Men's Champion in February, but bounced back with a decisive win over Tim Bosby in March. He looks to continue his winning ways, but standing across the ring from him will be the current TWEChattanooga Champion Hunter Drake! The title is not on the line, but pride certainly is as two of the best athletes in the region go to war!

- Sigrid was looking forward to get her hands on Kaia McKenna at Blinding Lights, but scheduling conflicts prevented their showdown. Fortunately, fans of mystical baddies didn't have to wait long to find that The Good Witch was being replaced in the match by the debuting Ravenna Vein!

- Ray Bruce has made a name for himself in his short time in the Symphony, including in a tag team victory over Grayson Pierce and Corinne Joy at Beer Fest. Pierce has asked for a one-on-one rematch at Blinding Lights, which Bruce happily obliged!

Doors open at 6 with a 7:00 bell time. Parking is free. If you don't already have your tickets, make sure you grab them at pwsymphony.com/tickets before you go. Tickets are available at the door, but having them in advance will make the entry process much smoother.

See you there!
