Crazy Horse II
Some local wrestling fans are dealing with a pretty tough opponent these days. It's a battle between landlord and tenant, and a handful of kids are caught in the middle. It's called the BFW Wrestling School and it was actually here before the current owner of Crazy Horse 2. The wrestling school owner says he feels like he's being pushed out, and in fact, he may be up against the ropes. They're not union members or animal rights activists, actually, they're wrestling fans, kids mostly, but they love to hang out at the BFW Wrestling School. "This is unfair to these children, these children need something like this, this is a free show, I don't make any money on this," Buffalo Jim said. Buffalo Jim is the owner of the school. Once a week he puts on a wrestling show that airs on cable TV. He encourages the kids come and watch. The problem is Buffalo Jim is only leasing the property, and according to his lease, "he's not allowed to have any spectators watching any wrestling, or any of that sort of thing, " said Tony Sgro Attorney representing Crazy Horse 2. The actual owner of the property is the same person who owns Crazy Horse 2 just 2 doors down, hardly an environment for kids. Managers say the children are in fact, a liability. "None of these children that he parades out here are protected if someone trips and falls, if there's a fire code violation, anything," Tony Sgro said. Buffalo Jim believes he's being strong armed out of his school because the owners of the club want to expand. He says he's not going without a fight. "I'm not going to let these bad guys do this to you kids. I promise you that," Buffalo Jim said. But club owners say if the kids continue to hang out, their next battle may not be in the ring, but in court. Buffalo Jim says he's been putting on his wrestling show since 1998. Managers at Crazy Horse 2 deny plans for expansion. They say they're willing to work with the school if they provide the proper insurance. The owner of the wrestling school says the kids are picketing on their own and they'll probably continue until the issue is resolved. |
