Obviously in-ring training is important. However some days you have to take a break from the performance side, and learn more about the business side of professional wrestling.

Our classes are always open to everyone, and we're happy Aren Daniel Norman and several students of Skull & Bones Professional Wrestling and Fitness were able to join us

On Tuesday January 13th at 6pm, Current AEW Producer Madison Rayne will be our guest trainer for the day. Specifically she will be covering what producers/agents/coaches are currently looking for, "pet peeves" or general turn offs, and overall professionalism and etiquette.

This class is open to all wrestlers/trainees and we are not charging a drop in fee for this class. The only condition is we are limiting the amount of attendees. OPWA students get priority, otherwise please message James Avery directly to reserve a spot!

Back to the grind after our holiday break. It's great seeing so many people hungry to learn and get better. If you would like to start your journey into pro wrestling, our next tryout is this Sunday January 4th at Noon!

Already in the business? Looking to get some ring time, make some connections or clean up fundamentals? We always have an open door and enjoy having guests.

OPWA Jackets are not available for purchase, they represent our stamp of approval. Anyone wearing one can be counted on to have the upmost professionalism, strong work ethic, and a great attitude.

We are very proud to offer a jacket to Rebekah Shaffer aka "Monarch" Georgia South, and are excited to see where she goes in her pro wrestling journey!

Happy Holidays from everyone at the OPWA! Thank you everyone for supporting us for 13 years!

Due to the holiday and Buckeye Championship Wrestling schedule, this Sunday December 7th will be the last new student tryouts of 2025.

You could wait until 2026, but by then you will wish you have started sooner.

It's always exciting when one of our alum gets "The Ball"
Congrats Brandon Fields!

So yeah, it's about 11 years too late, but welcome to the gang Flex Jordan!

Flex Jordan wrapped up his full time pro wrestling career several years before we started awarding jackets. Several months ago, Flex got what wrestlers call "the itch" and decided to come back and train for one more match*. Even though it's been a long time since we've seen each other, it was like he never left.
