Arizona’s Two Largest Promotions Join Forces
by Greg DeMarco
Arizona wrestling has become a territory full of the backstabbing, underhanded tactics that are typically reserved for sports entertainment scripts produced for television. But two promotions have displayed character above all others to form the most powerful alliance in the state. On December 4, 2007, it was announced that Arizona’s longest running promotion, Impact Zone Wrestling, had acquired Rising Phoenix Wrestling, the fastest growing promotion in the southwest. Very little was known about the acquisition, what it meant for the talent in Rising Phoenix Wrestling, or the future of both companies. After weeks of meetings and discussions, all of the details are finally available.
