Power! Pride! Pro Wrestling! returns to Cincinnati November 21. Looking for an update on this year's event, I went to promoter, long-time friend and (mostly) retired pro wrestler Hardcore Heather Owens, Co-Chair of Cincinnati Pride Athletics Committee.
A veteran of many conventions, a long-time wrestler and a friend of the LGBTQ+ community, Heather was the perfect person to organize this event. which debuted in 2022. At the time, Heather saw it as a one time event to bring worlds together. It was so popular, all involved knew it would return.
All the wrestlers, officials etc. involved are in the LGBTQ+ community. The fans, however, are all-inclusive. The outpouring of support from those outside of the LGBTQ+ community is one of the best developments.
The event isn't about agendas, politics, race or any serious issues. As Heather states in the interview, she would squash any of that drama instantly. (I can vouch for that.). I liken it to comic cons. People of all worlds are welcome. It's just about fun.
Fun involves a lot of hard work though. I have known Heather a long time. She is very passionate about this and works feverishly to make it a success.
I haven't been to an event yet. I'm a bit too far from Cincy. I support the cause in the best way I can, by promoting it here and other sites where I write.
