Wednesday, September 2, 2009 Orono Weekly Times - 3 WRESTLING Continued from front page Wrestling Guild website. "Catch wrestling's origins lie in a variety of styles. The term is sometimes used in a restricted sense to refer only to the style of professional wrestling as practiced in United States carnivals just before and after 1900. "Under this stricter definition, 'catch wrestling' is one of many styles of professional wrestling, specifically as practiced in carnivals and at public exhibitions from after the American Civil War until the Great Depression. Later, when the British Lancashire wrestling style came to the US and was blended with the rough and tumble mentality, and betting got involved, the very aggressive American catch-as-catch-can style of wrestling emerged and created some of the most outstanding grapplers in the world. "Much of today's MMA fighting concepts can be traced to these early 'shooters' -- professional wrestlers who had a background in straight up contest fighting, or otherwise had a reputation as a tough guy. Catch wrestling became immensely popular across both sides of the Atlantic, especially in the carnivals in the United States of America during the late 19th and early 20th century," said Powers.

Bush to speak in Toronto to an audience that paid between two hundred and twenty five hundred dollars to fill a hall at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. At that time the two past presidents were engaged in a friendly discussion moderated by Frank McKenna, former Canadian Ambassador to the U.S. That highly successful event probably played a part in the decision to bring Clinton back to this year`s C.N.E. However, even though there is a love affair between Bill Clinton and many Canadians the C.N.E. debacle proves that as a one man show he doesn`t rate with the late Michael Jackson or Bruce Springsteen. Probably the mistake that was made by the C.N.E. was not bringing George W. Bush along to fill out the card. After all with George W. appearing in Canada you could guarantee that at least twenty five thousand Canadians would turn out to fill all those vacant seats just to protest. ~ Happening s ~ Tuesday, September 8, 2009 - Girl Guide Registration - St. Saviours Anglican Church, Mill St., Orono. 6:30pm to 8pm September 10 to the 13th Orono Fair - Orono Fairgrounds, see back page for all the events!
