“We don’t allow wrestlers to cuss,” said event director JoshNewell of Bayou Independent Wrestling. “It’s adult enough for theolder people to enjoy it but we keep it clean enough for thechildren. What you see on TV is offensive sometimes.”

Noel said community response has been positive in past events.”We have been good at pleasing the majority. We did a Relay ForLife in Natchez, which raised over $1,000. In Saline, La., thewrestling fundraiser was held at a church fellowship building.”
