Pro wrestling show to raise money for Totowa family displaced by fire

After a GoFundMe raised $30,000 for a Totowa family that lost its home and pets to a fire, more donations could be headed its way from a different kind of source — professional wrestling.

Independent Superstars of Pro Wrestling, better known as ISPW, a local wrestling promotion, is holding a live event on Friday at the Totowa PAL. Part of the proceeds will go toward Martinez family members, after a fire claimed their home and seven pets on March 4.

The headliners at Friday's event, which starts at 7:30 p.m., include former WWE NXT star Bull James — who is wrestling Hale Collins for the ISPW Heavyweight Championship — and former WCW star and Rutherford native Crowbar.

ISPW was founded by Passaic Valley High School graduate Tommy Fierro. The promotion holds live events that raise money for local organizations, including the Totowa PAL, which has hosted multiple ISPW shows.

"When I found out about the fire and the fact that they live in Totowa, I immediately wanted to help and the fact that we have a show at the Totowa PAL this Friday, it was perfect timing for us to do so," Fierro said. "On top of that, the family has been a part of the Totowa PAL for many years. It was a no brainer."

Also scheduled to be featured in the show is a blindfold match for the ISPW Women's Title between Vicious Vicki and Tina San Antonio. There will be eight matches held in total.

Tickets can be purchased at ISPWTheNow.Eventbrite.com and range between $25 and $40. The event is family-friendly.
