Jeff Peterson Memorial Cup News for 11.10.09

This year’s version of the annual event will be the 7th installment of the Tournament to honor late Florida Independent wrestler, “The All American” Jeff Peterson. In November, 2002 IPW Hardcore wrestler Jeff Peterson lost his battle with cancer. May 16-17, 2003 saw the beginning of the Jeff Peterson Memorial Cup, a sixteen competitor cruiserweight in honor of the fallen star. Each year since the event has grown to international levels. Previous winners include, “Reckless Youth” Tom Carter, Justice, Chris Sabin, Milano Collection AT, Chris Hero, and Erick Stevens.

The 2009 Jeff Peterson Memorial Cup will take place over the course of 2 evenings, Friday November 20th, 2009 and Saturday November 21st, 2009 at the Brooksville, Florida and Crystal River, Florida National Guard Armories respectively.

In a new twist for this year’s event, the 16 participants for the tournament will come from 4 of the hottest independent companies in the US, with each company entering 4 wrestlers to represent their company. This year’s field will represent Florida’s own Full Impact Pro Wrestling, Philadelphia’s Combat Zone Wrestling, Chicago’s AAW, and Ohio’s Hybrid Pro Wrestling.

Doing research for the interview I have been watching matches and these 1st round bouts will be excellent!!

[Ron Niemi]

Thanks to everybody who has already bought tickets and donated items for the JPC 2009 Auction as this year is already a success and we are still a week and a half away.

[Neil]

This is shaping up to be a great two day event and of course for a great cause. I purchased some excellent tapes last year and I am sure I will purchase something good again this year. Are there going to be T-shirts? We will miss you not being there Chris.
