Jamie Iovine On Becoming A Promoter And The Need To Save The Independent Scene
NTWRK co-founder Jamie Iovine was on today’s episode of
The Wrestling Inc. Daily where he and Wrestling Inc. Managing Editor Nick Hausman discussed Iovine’s Prochella pro wrestling show that was recently postponed. Iovine first discussed why he wanted to be a pro wrestling promoter.
“My dream was always to be a wrestler. That was the dream from the beginning, and as I told you, at the time when I was doing music or when I was doing my other jobs, I didn’t have a way to do that,” Iovine admitted. “I didn’t know how to get into a wrestling school. I didn’t know where to go to do these things. Now there are schools everywhere. Everybody has a school, and I’ve been actively training and trying to become an in-ring competitor myself.
