Long time friends and wrestling legends J Stevenson and Matt Scheffert announced in June that they intend to pool their resource and open a nationwide coalition of no less than four promotions following their in ring retirements. The Coast Wrestling Coalition will attempt to serve as a platform to showcase many different styles and offer up and coming talent a place to showcase their skills locally before being brought on tour nationwide with the company.
While no specifics have been announced in terms of starting dates or company structure most anticipate Stevenson heading up CWC East Coast which will run shows out of his hometown of Philadelphia. The former Xtreme Rebel is expected to handle CWC Great Lakes in the midwest for similar reasons. When asked Stevenson was elusive on his role but said, "Opening a wrestling company right here in Philly has always been a dream of mine."
Scheffert was equally evasive saying only, "This business has been wonderful to both J and I over the years. I only hope that we can give back to the next generation of wrestlers and fans a little of what we have been given." Given their history as a tag team and as opponents it is safe to say that these two know each other very, very well.
We await more news coming soon, but the Coastal Wrestling Coalition sounds like it is getting set to take off.
