"Today OVW is the longest, continually operating wrestling venture in the U.S.". UUMM Bullshit. (Updated)

I just added a shot which is a reply someone asked an owner of ECWA on this story. SSSOO, it looks like i was correct, and Al Snow was wrong. I was correct in saying "Bullshit". Sorry, not sorry. :)

Al Snow said that quote and guess what, he's full of shit. WWE sure blows that statement all to hell. Ring Of Honor? Same thing. ECWA in Delaware has run longer, and I'm sure I can come up with acouple more examples. Al should really think before he makes claims that stick his foot square in his mouth.
This is where he made that ASSinine  claim.

OVW sent us word that they have merged with Top Knotch Boxing under Gladiator Sports Network (GSN). Each company will continue to focus on its respective sports, while GSN oversees overall growth initiatives. Al Snow is president and CEO of GSN. James Dixon, founder and head coach of Louisville Top Knotch Boxing, is director of boxing.

"I'm excited at the opportunity to build on OVW's long-running success and to grow Louisville's combat sports offerings," said Al Snow. "Today OVW is the longest, continually operating wrestling venture in the U.S. We couldn't have a better foundation to support our Gladiator Sports Network vision for future growth."

OVW will celebrate its historic 1000th television episode on October 10th by producing the first professional wrestling event ever to take place on 4th Street Live, Louisville's hub for tourism, dining and entertainment. OVW 1000 will be a star-studded event broadcast live on WBNA-TV and on iPPV to the world via the Fight TV AP.
