Great Lakes Championship Wrestling Under new Management!
10-05-02
Great Lakes Championship Wrestling was transferred to new ownership this morning. GLCW has been owned by Hubert Grange since its inception some 30 years ago. Three months ago Grange announced that he would be retiring from the wrestling business and that he was closing down the promotion for good. Sources claim that entrepreneur Maxamilian Quinn approached the aging grappler soon after the announcement to discuss the possibilities of buying the promotion. Grange, who always claimed he would take his promotion to the grave with him, must have made quite a profit to be willing to turn over the reins of his pride and joy to Quinn.

Specifics about the deal are sketchy at best, but sources close to the promotion claim Grange will maintain partial control of the company. We will have more news as it comes to us.
