Foundations: Art × Community × Combat
Please note that this article was originally here to announce our planned first show that couldn’t happen due to a snow storm, we have repurposed the article to speak on our three core values
These are the foundations we build upon at Naptown All Pro.
Art
Finding new and innovative ways to display professional wrestling as a medium for stories to be told & emotions to be conveyed while still staying true to the sport that’s captivated this city for nearly 100 years. Whether it be through painting, literature, cinema, music, or any other avenue that’s out there we want to be a platform to be the crossover between art and wrestling
Community
The connection between wrestling and the people of Indianapolis over the last few years has been a wavy one. The last decade or so with few exceptions has been full of unacted upon promises and a general lack of reinvestment into the community by the pro wrestling scene. That doesn’t sit well with us and it never has.
Indianapolis is more than a stop on a tour or a means to an end. It’s a city and it’s a home and we plan to do whatever we can to make our home just a little sweeter. By partnering with the Far Eastside Community Council (FECC) we aim to make Naptown All Pro and professional wrestling an active part of the lives of Indianapolis residents
Combat
More so than anything though and as important as the previous two points are none of this particularly matters unless the in-ring product is on the level of the ambitions we have as far as art and community. As passionate as we are on those two things they’re relatively new to the team here at NAP.
But if there’s one thing we do know it’s wrestling.
We’ve put together some of the best young talent both from right here in Indiana but across the country to put on what we think is the most insane and diverse group of talent you’ll find all across the midwest. Most notably NAP team member and the most notable pro wrestling export from Indiana in nearly 20 years in Calvin Tankman who is confirmed and will be in a marquee matchup
We’re aiming to put on the wildest, sexiest, and most violent pro-wrestling party you could possibly imagine, the likes of which this city has never seen.
