For those who read this, this year will mark the 5th anniversary of me being under the Puroresu Spirit name. Now I don’t mean to beg for anything with something a little more being returned to you guys who follow the site, but I have added a paypal donation spot on this side of this blog, or just click this link. I am not begging for much, but a couple people have mentioned that it would be a nice thing for people to give back. Responsibilities with getting older mean that time is more crucial that in used to be when I was younger, just reality I guess.
So I am thinking of a “plan“ is to hold a donation "contest” for a couple gifts. That is once they have all been finalized/lined up. Gifts of which could involve NJPW King of Pro Wrestling cards, just as one suggestion. For those who donate now I will be putting your name into the contest drawing. Keep in mind that the contest is not a guarantee, but I do think it would be nice to try and give back a little something extra if I do so happen to get anything. Thanks for the support.
I am continually looking to expand the site and facebook page with all different kinds of coverage! If you wish to contribute or you have a site you want to be in connection with Puroresu Spirit, feel free to send me a message on the facebook page, tumblr, or on twitter
You can even shoot me an email at PuroSpirit (at) gmail.com.
I am mainly looking for more Japanese Indy promotion coverage, someone to cover DRAGON GATE and or even NJPW. Also to help maintain and update pages/promotions/profiles on the website. If this sounds like something of interest, feel free to send me a message. Being over 30 years old has just limited how much time I can dedicate to things as I wish. I will continue to do my best though, but thanks for the understanding.
