55,000 Spectators Watch IWF Wrestling at ‘Great Falls Festival’ in Paterson:
Annual Labor Day Weekend Extravaganza Draws Record Crowd Sept 1-2-3

(PATERSON, NJ)- The thrills and excitement of live Independent Wrestling Federation action rocked the ‘Great Falls Festival’ on September 1, 2 and 3, 2007 at Overlook Park, Paterson, NJ.  Community Development officials estimate that 55,000 spectators attended the extravaganza!

The three-day Labor Day Weekend festival at the top of the falls featured raucous wrestling action, plus music and entertainment from local performers, games, rides, clowns, circus thrill acts, art shows, crafts and a motorcycle show.

IWF events took place three times daily with matches featuring Heavyweight Champion Tony Torres, American Champion Kevin Knight, Tag Team Champions Justin Corino and Frank Scoleri, Junior Champion Antonio Rivera, Biggie Biggs, Travis Blake, Steve Camacho, Mike Durnin, Jana, Nick Sabre, Bryan Harley and Eloy Fiesta.

Over 15,000 festival patrons surrounded the ring each day throughout the weekend to witness the slaps and slams.  IWF wrestlers signed thousands of autographs and took hundreds of photos with children who posed with the championship belts in the ring after each performance.

“It was an honor for the IWF to participate in this wonderful festival event,” said Kevin Knight.  “We enjoyed bringing some good old-fashioned wrestling entertainment to Paterson as we joined Mayor Torres and the Paterson Council in this historic celebration.”

An international food court served dishes from the numerous ethnic groups representative of the city’s diverse citizens.  There was a parade from the American Labor Museum to the Great Falls, helicopter rides out of Hinchcliff Stadium, dare-devil acts over the Falls, and a massive fireworks display closed out the festivities Labor Day evening.

Live IWF action comes to the first-annual New Genesis Car Care Products ‘Car & Bike Show’ Saturday, September 15, 2007 at Challenge Grove Park, Cherry Hill, NJ.  Event begins at 1 pm and features Tony Torres and Kevin Knight.  For information, please visit WrestlingIWF.com.
