Matt Kuma - "Please wrestling fans...support your local indy!  And let the promoter know if someone sucks, but don't stop attending shows, and buying tickets.  The future of indy wrestling lies with you, the fans, and we as workers need your support!  The same goes with mixed martial arts.  the smaller companies need your support as well (king of the cage etc.)  if theres no competetion for the ufc in the states, we'll end up just like the monopoly the WWE has on wrestling.  Take care of one another, and never forget about karma.  it's a bi*ch if it's not on your side!"
