The series will provide the Champion’s Belt in both states. There will be 18 designated events in both markets. Some events will include Super Tuesdays, Sunday Specials and Thursday Thrills. Each of the championship belt events will offer a belt similar to what you see in wrestling to the winner, on top of the prize money.
