>Western PA Juggalos started as a fan site called “AIP Juggalos” (for our group at the Art Institute, that also became an official Club that I head) in 2001.  Over the years, the site grew and built a community of fans who followed underground music such as artists from Psychopathic Records, Suburban Noize, and more.

WPAJ has been instrumental in still bringing 100-200 people to the Juggalo Day at Kennywood Park, started by our colleagues at PittsburghJuggalos.net before us.  The site also promoted several hip hop shows, local artists, themed comedy shows with comedy troupe “The Near Professionals”

The site has since grown and expanded with the Wrestling Mayhem Show, derived from the WPAJ Radio streaming station we ran for a time, and the WPAJ Interview, where we have interviewed artists including the Kottonmouth Kings, hed pe, and many more since 2006 in audio and video form.

The site was closed in 2009 to pursue other interests.

Since March 2008, I have been instrumental in the redesign, and social media implementation upgrades to IWCWrestling.com for the International Wrestling Cartel, a Pittsburgh,  PA based professional wrestling organization. This includes conversion to the Wordpress format, RSS integration, Twitter support, and Facebook community on top of supporting the existing message board and chat community that thrives on the site.

Work done via the site have been instrumental in promoting appearances by such Hall of Famers as Ric Flair, Sgt. Slaughter, Greg Valentine, George “The Animal” Steel, and many more.  The organization also brings in several current and former talents from World Wrestling Entertainment, Total Nonstop Action (Spike TV), and Ring of Honor (HDNet)
