Press Release:
Tradition Now Comes in Tartan
In Association with NWA-UK Hammerlock, Scottish Championship Wrestling are proud to announce the opening of their very own training centre. This centre will be known as Area 52 and will be home to the Young Lions Academy. The Training Centre itself will be based in Linwood. This is an announcement, which has been about three years in the making and will undoubtedly assist Scottish Championship Wrestling to progress further in the UK and Worldwide wrestling scene. SCW Managing Director, Kenny Morrison, has given us the following statement.
“I setup Scottish Championship Wrestling in September of 2001. Since then, we have run five shows and are preparing for our sixth. We have our own Scottish Heavyweight Champion, we have a roster filled with quality and a group of Young Lions that any Promotion would be proud to call their own. So, this is the next logical step for us to make. Negotiations have been ongoing for this since the end of 2003 and they were surprisingly quick in falling into place. These negotiations saw new investors come onboard, hence my new title of Managing Director, and obviously saw the affiliation with the NWA-UK Hammerlock promotion and purchase of the equipment. To say I’m happy is, quite frankly, the biggest understatement of my 31 years on this planet. In closing, I’d just like to thank everyone who has made this possible and say Tradition Now Comes in Tartan…who’d have thought it?”
