Please Support Our Site

Please support our site and help keep our tribute alive.  We don't make any money from this site.  All donations received, as well as all proceeds earned from the sale of merchandise and ads, go to two places.  The first is to pay for the monthly costs of running the site and the second is to our AZWL Benevolent Fund.

The fund helps those Arizona Wrestling Legends in time of need.  In the past, our main use for the funds has been to provide travel assistance (such as hotel rooms) to our legends traveling to our annual reunion from out of state. 

Thank you for your generousity.  We sincerely appreciate your support.

Although the fans may not have appreciated his style all the time, no one can deny his fortitude. "Pistol" Pete made his mark on the wrestling business by being "as tough as nails" and by never giving up. From his childhood, when brutal ring villains like "Classy" Freddie Blassie were his heroes, Pete knew that wrestling was for him.

Aside from being a championship wrestler, Pete is also a promoter, actor, writer, director and stuntman, among other things. He has been featured in TV shows, movies and in numerous commercials.
