event is for everyone in Central Illinois Professional Wrestling to
come together and celebrate everything about Central Illinois Pro
Wrestling. This isn't a time to sling mud on anyone, be angry, or be
negative. None of this helps anyone get better. It's time to recognize
the best of the best, the individuals that work to improve there
talent and skills to stand out from the crowd. A time to show everyone
that hard work and dedication at any level can be rewarding.

you can come together as professionals and give each other the respect

we ask that you attend this event and discuss some of your different
opinions with others in Central Illinois wrestling. We feel that you
will find the same thing that we find and that is the opinions, the
wants and the needs aren't all the different. Everyone involved in
Central Illinois wrestling is welcome at the ceremony and admission is
