Reply to comment by darkrom in Rhode Island's Tim White to become first referee inducted into WWE Hall of Fame by boulevardofdef

Tim White was the owner of The Friendly Tap if that counts.

It does. Anything else? It’s unfortunate they don’t sell tours or anything in CT at the HQ

Strangely enough, aside from that and the wrestling school in Woonsocket and a few very niche indie feds, I don't know that RI has much in terms of wrestling-related things to do.

You have me curious, what niche indie feds here? I haven't even let myself venture off into AEW, WWE is enough for me as far as time commitment goes, but indie is a whole different breed.

I'm not a fan of the indies at all, but we have Renegade Wrestling Alliance and RIWA.

Bonus, there is a live indie wrestling event on April 30th at Proclamation Ale Company with ticket prices around $15

Beyond Wrestling, which is actually one of the most respected indie feds, started here and used to do most of their shows at Fete in Providence, though I think they mostly do them in MA now.

I've actually been to the HQ, many years ago, because I knew a guy who worked there. It was awesome!

Jealous. I’d have paid to go check it out
