Earl Kennedy Speaks Out On the Oklahoma Athletic Commission Controversy

Posted: Mar 11th 2012 By: CMBurnham

Editor's Note: the following is an editorial from Earl Kennedy and does not necessarily represent the opinions of the Oklafan.com staff.

Ok guys, I've heard so much about what the Oklahoma Boxing Commission is doing about shutting down pro wrestling in Oklahoma. Wrestling is the oldest sport in the world. Wrestling was here before the Boxing Commission.

In my honest opinion, Texas is the God Father State of professional wrestling. I suppose that comes from being part of the end of WCCW and growing up in the Von Erich era. Texas has dropped pro wrestling from being a contact sport and deemed it as entertainment. No offence to Danny Hodge or Joe Miller or to anyone else, but Texas and other states are doing fine without a commission. That's why they have security at the shows. Unless you're the WWE, boxing commission doesn't get a lot of revenue from pro wrestling.

Yes, I agree Boxing and MMA needs to be sanctioned by the BC, but not wrestling. I'm sure there's a lot of opinions like mine out here, even though some opinions might side with the OBC. That's fine, we all have one. The difference is, I've made mine known, straight forward. Thank you and God Bless!!
