Florida Pro Wrestling Accepts the Cauliflower Club Challenge;
Florida Pro Wrestling is the latest promotion to accept the challenge from SICW and Mid-States Wrestling to support the Cauliflower Alley Club (CAC). The announcement brings another organization aboard a growing effort to build CAC membership and introduce younger wrestlers to the club’s mission.
“Adding Florida Pro Wrestling is a huge announcement,” said SICW Promoter Herb Simmons. “Florida Pro Wrestling represents the history and tradition of professional wrestling from the Sunshine State.
Promoter Paul Antone has a long history in this business, first as a professional wrestler, a former NWA Champion, and now as a promoter. His involvement adds even more drive for other promotions to get on this train."
Simmons said the effort is focused on helping the next generation understand what the CAC represents and why membership matters.
“We’re on a trip and a mission to continue building the membership of the CAC,” Simmons said. “The sole purpose is to help younger wrestlers realize what the CAC is all about. Paul Antone is in a position to reach out to young and upcoming wrestlers and impress upon them the importance of becoming a member.”
Antone said joining the effort was an easy decision.
“When Herb contacted me about the challenge, it took less than the blink of an eye to get on their CAC train,” Antone said. “As a member myself, I know the job the CAC does. I know many young men and women who are the future of this business. I believe it takes a united effort to reach out and assist this great organization, and to spread the word so the great work it has done over the past 60 years can continue.”
Florida Pro Wrestling joins the promotions already named in the campaign: AIWF, Cottage Hills Wrestling Alliance (CHWA), and New Genesis Wrestling. The challenge was launched by Simmons, Mid-States Wrestling Promoter Jason “Space Cowboy” Jones, and Pro Wrestling Mid South Promoter Golden Boy Greg Anthony.
With each new promotion joining, the campaign carries the message to more wrestlers and fans: support the Cauliflower Alley Club and help its work continue for generations to come.
