North American Wrestling

Carrying the N.A.W. torch since 1989

About Me

So you want to get involved in Professional Wrestling eh?? Well there are several ways to do it, but the right way is to attend a established training school and that is what NAW is. We have been training wrestlers since 1989, Refs, managers and Valets too!! If you are wanting to live that dream. We can help. Just ask me how! We train with the same method that was used at the old Hart Brothers/Hart Dungeon in Calgary. Our original trainers, Dr Luther and Bonecrusher Ward were both trained at the Hart facility. Doc was also a trainer there for several years, training the likes of Chris Jericho and Lance Storm.We run shows in Fresno and Modesto monthly, and are expanding to other parts of the Valley. Our wrestlers are always In Demand and are working not only NAW shows but shows for groups like SPW in Sacramento, CCW in Newman, DMW in the bay area, as well as WCWA, Fog City, PCW, APW, BTW and many others. They have and do work from Southern California all the way up t Washington state. Most schools graduates are lucky to work 11-2 shows a month. NAW grad average 4-6 shows a month. This could be YOU in just 3-4 short months of training at the NAW Dungeon Dojo.As for me, Just call me the "Ol' fart of NAW" ok, I prefer Timmy (from my close friends) Have been with NAW since the beginning when Doc and Bryan opened up WCWA (Fresno) in 1989. I play the Drums & Percussion (For over 40 years, professionally for 30+ yrs). I have degrees in Comp Sci, Marketing and Graphic arts. I also have over 30 years in the sports entertainment field, currently I manage a family fun facility (aka Arcade) but have in the past managed ice rinks(yes I used to work at Icelandia and know how to drive a Zamboni), as well as been a computer programmer(BASIC, Cobol, Fortran, RPG 2 & 3 as well as machine language (Yes I started writing code before there were PC and the internet!). I am also a former Certified Novell Engineer. I like to cook, read and promote NAW and its graduates. I also love spending time with my wife and daughter. At the NAW shows you will find me behind the Mixer running sound. at the camp I am there to help out with training as well as promoting the NAW school, students and Shows. I also run the NAW Website www.NorthAmericanWrestling.com as well as do most, if not all, of the graphic art work for NAW(yes I designed the NAW logo and own the copyrights and name)NAW September 2 Remember 9/28/08 Commercial
