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.

On January 27, at the fifth annual Arizona Wrestling Reunion, five new members were inducted into the Western States Wrestling/AZWL Hall of Fame. The new members are The Lumberjacks 1&2, "Mr. Wrestling" David Rose and The Commancharos.
The Hall of Fame awards are voted on each year by the Arizona Wrestling Legends membership. A special award was also given in honor of "Cowboy" Bob Yuma, the founder of the reunion. The first annual "Cowboy Bob Yuma Fellowship Award" went to wrestler/promoter turned pastor Rev. Patrick Malone. Rev. Malone received his award in recognition for all he does to promote mutual respect and fellowship among the members of the Arizona wrestling community. Thanks to Alicia ("Cowboy" Bob's wife) for all she does each year to make the reunion happen and to make it a success.
