BRAWL Wrestling to Honor Former WWE Star "Iron" Mike Sharpe

Cherry Hill, NJ, October 19, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Known throughout the world as Canada’s greatest athlete, Iron Mike Sharpe could be seen on television every week taking on the toughest competition. Mike began his wrestling career in Canada during the 1970’s. He had a successful run in Mid-South Wrestling winning several championships. Mike also wrestled in Japan where he teamed up with Hulk Hogan. He would go on to join the WWF in 1983 where he was a mainstay until 1995. A big man with a booming voice Iron Mike Sharpe was as strong as an ox. Early in his career Mike injured his forearm and started wearing an armband to protect his injury. He would continue to wear this signature protective armband for the remainder of his career.

In 1996 “The Jersey Hurricane” Mick Bronson enrolled in the Iron Mike Sharpe School of Professional Wrestling in Asbury Park, NJ. This was a beginning of a friendship that would last a lifetime. In 1998 with Iron Mike’s support, The Jersey Hurricane Mick Bronson founded BRAWL and appointed Iron Mike Sharpe the first commissioner. Mike took the job seriously and those who did not comply with his wishes felt the wrath of Iron Mike. In addition to his duties as commissioner, Mike would often do commentary for BRAWL matches. While still a student at the school in Asbury, Mick asked Iron Mike if he could wear an armband to honor his friend and teacher. Mick continues to go to the ring with Iron Mike’s signature armband as a tribute. In 2016 BRAWL was deeply saddened by the passing of former commissioner “Iron” Mike Sharpe. To the BRAWL organization, “Iron” Mike was much more than a commissioner. He was a teacher and friend. He was family.

On October 28th, Bronson Family Promotions will be hosting the first ever BRAWL “Iron” Mike Sharpe Memorial Show at Cherry Hill West High School at 7pm. Tickets are $12 and will be available at the door. Most of the wrestlers on the card are former trainers and students of Mike’s from his wrestling school including Bobby Piper, The Atomic Dog, “The Jersey Hurricane” Mick Bronson, The Freak, Magic, The Orphan, Slayer and many others. Come be a part of this historic occasion.
