🚨 OKLAHOMA WRESTLING FANS: WE NEED YOUR VOICE! 🚨
Oklahoma State Athletic Commission (OSAC) is pushing new permanent rules (Chapters 1 & 10) that will make running and wrestling independent shows in Oklahoma practically impossible.
Here are the facts on what these changes will actually mean for our scene:
🫀 EKGs for Wrestlers Over 40: Mandatory cardiology clearance that can easily run $1,500+ out-of-pocket without insurance. This prices out local veterans and completely stops promotions from flying in featured outside talent.
🩸 Bloodwork Every 6 Months: Changing from annual tests to twice a year, instantly doubling testing expenses for wrestlers already paying their own way.
🚫 Advertising Blackout: While permits have been 30 days, promotions will now be banned from advertising shows at all until the permit is officially accepted and paid—destroying advance ticket sales and marketing momentum.
These aren't safety updates—they are financial chokeholds on shoestring indie promotions, working wrestlers, and loyal fans.
