Patrons who have purchased tickets for the Guyana Wrestle Mania event are now calling on the promoters for a refund. Yesterday,Cheap Jerseys From China, during interviews, many claimed that they were of the opinion that the ‘show is a fluke’ created to rob them of their earnings.This event which was advertised initially for August 8, and then for August 15,last, at the National Park has sparked much controversy among patrons and many corporate entities. These corporate entities were wondering how organizers were going to pay the large sums for the wrestlers they claimed were coming to Guyana.Before time, investigations into the event revealed that the National Stadium was never paid for. The officials said that there was a request but no formal booking.When one of the organizers,nfl jerseys china, Dennis Adonis, known as ‘Smoothie’ was contacted, he responded that they were given the outside of the stadium to stage the event since renovations were going on inside. He added that the promotion had refused since the space provided could not house an event of that magnitude.He had noted that the event then had to be postponed to the new date August 15 and set for the National Park.Shockingly, when the National Parks Commission was contacted,wholesale jerseys, officials related that the venue was not booked for such an event,Wholesale China Jerseys, even though promoters had already printed tickets to that effect.Mr Adonis had promised that the booking would have been completed on Monday.After several media articles on the supposed authenticity of the venture, promoters yesterday sent a press release to this newspaper, stating that the event was now further postponed, tentatively, to October 31. No venue was mentioned.The release stated that the postponement was forced because the organisers calling themselves ‘Sound Proof Music and the Regional Wrestling Federation of Guyana Wrestle Mania’ were forced to effect such actions due to lack of effective sponsorship, and the promoters’ inability to source flights for all 21 members of the cast to travel and depart Guyana, as the wrestlers would have requested.The release further stated that additionally, some aspects of the event performers’ contracts are yet to be addressed such as taxation with the GRA, and other matters.It said that organizers are working out prequisites with the respective wrestlers through their booking agents with the prospect of making the October 31 date a reality.It also noted that organisers were given the option of hosting the event on August 29, but felt that it would be unethical to compete with another event that is scheduled for the same weekend.Through the release, the organisers also noted that September would not be a financially viable period to hold any such event in Guyana, as schools would have just been reopened and fans “would have been reeling from the financial burdens of the summer holidays”.As stated in the release, tickets bought for the August 15 event are fully refundable,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, and ticket holders are urged to visit their respective box offices to have a full refund, as the current tickets will not be valid for the October 31 date.? It further dictated that box offices should also be in possession of funds accrued from sales of the very tickets and should be in a position to promptly refund ticket holders, as the promoters have not uplifted any of the revenue on tickets sold.One individual said that it is amazing that the local promoters have such a hold on international wrestlers that they can stage and then postpone shows. In short, they can break contracts with these wrestlers who now seem to be at the beck and call of the local promoters, he said.Something smells fishy, he added.

(By Mondale Smith)“It is professionally and ethically wrong for a teacher to propose or force a student to have sexual intercourse in exchange for better grades and anyone who does that should lose their job,” says Guyana Teachers’ Union President, Colwyn King.There is yet to be an official ruling or announcement of an investigation being launched into allegations against the teacher who was found in a hotel with his student last Saturday.King said that a teacher is at school to teach but if he and a student intend to have a love affair they should wait until they are at the right age and once both agree then that’s their business away from the school environment.He said that in this case it is ultimately left to the teacher to resume regular duties at the institution but after a meeting yesterday King has advised him against returning to the institution at present.He said,Cheap NFL Jerseys, “There is no excuse that one can give for not performing your duties.
