IT IS WITH A HEAVY HEART, ULTIMATE WRESTLING ANNOUNCES THE PASSING OF UW HALL OF FAMER UNCLE JAKE.
HE WILL BE MISSED
To all of the members of the Ultimate Wrestling family,
Undoubtedly there has never been, and may never be again a point in time when the performers behind the curtain of Ultimate Wrestling experience such a relationship with the same dedicated fans who fill our stands and fill our hearts every UW event, as we do today. Ironically this bond is not forged from hearing the ding of a ringside bell that lets us know that a grudge is about to be settled. This connection is not born from the dramatic three seconds changing the course of a UW championship title. This bond comes from experiencing the same insecurity we all feel today in not knowing just exactly what tomorrow brings. What we do know, what we can be sure of at least, is that we can only control life within our four walls. We can protect our families and those closest to us by making the best decisions for the greater good that also focuses entirely on the longer term that we are capable of making. By doing so we give the greatest probability of preserving the one thing that is most important to our organization, the future of Ultimate Wrestling. It is both with regret but also with great responsibility that the leadership of Ultimate Wrestling announces the postponement of our biggest event of the year, Divine Intervention. This is no way a cancellation but a very necessary adjustment that reflects the world we live in today and we are all surely aware of. Our leadership is in constant communication within each other, as well as New York State legislators in anticipation of establishing a new date but at this time this is far from the prime objective. The primary goal today as it has always been and always will be, is to insure the safety of our extended family and to do what is truly right whenever called upon. We at Ultimate Wrestling guarantee that we will update our staff, our crew, our fans, our FAMILY on every future development as our days continue but until then remain safe and healthy. We will see each other again very soon.
