First I want to talk about the Jeff Paterson Memorial Tournament, being held in Ybor City, FL on Friday, December 14 (8:00 pm belltime) and Saturday, December 15 (6:00 pm belltime) at The Orpheum, 1915 East 7th Avenue, Ybor City, FL.
This will be the tenth annual and final Jeff Peterson Memorial Cup. The event was established to honor the memory of independent wrestler “All American” Jeff Peterson who died at age 21 after a two-year battle with leukemia. It is a standard 16-man single-elimination tournament intended to showcase the top junior heavyweight wrestlers from independent promotions throughout the United States and Japan. Many top independent wrestlers have participated in the event with former winners including Reckless Youth (2003), Justice (2004), Chris Sabin (2005), Milano Collection AT (2006), Chris Hero (2007), Erick Stevens (2008), Davey Richards (2009), Sami Callihan (2010) and AR Fox (2011).
