Goodwill Gesture for Wrestling Shows

The weather caused havoc in the South on April 27, 2011. Many people are hurting, many people have lost everything. I was thinking what every wrestling show that decides to run this weekend should do to help out others and maybe grab some good karma in the process.
Wrestling shows, I suggest that if you have a website or use social media to pimp your show, immediately ask your fans & staff to bring donations to your show. If your area was not affected I am sure there is someone close that is accepting donations for others.Let them know that these donations came from your wrestling show and its fans.Community goodwill can help your show out down the road.Doing nothing, shows you have no regard for anyone but your little "Rasslin" show.Do not expect sympathy if you show no empathy to others.
I don't know if this little blog will make any owners be proactive in their community.Maybe it's my training in management and understanding community relations that think it would not only be the RIGHT thing to do, but with wrestling shows needing better public relations, I don't see why this is not done more. I do know there are shows out there that do such things and to those I honor you. I am sure that little bit of help keeps your show just a tad bit stronger than those feds that have a myopic view, where it's only about their show and heaven forbid helping others.You reap what you sow.
Do the right thing, give wrestling a better name. Be better than other shows.A moment of silence is nice, I beseech all feds to find opportunities to help in the community and in other communities.
