WFIA Mourns the Passing of Rich Ingling
The Wrestling Fans International Association joins the wrestling community in mourning the loss of Rich Ingling, a devoted supporter and steward of professional wrestling history.
Rich Ingling served with distinction as Vice President and Treasurer of the Cauliflower Alley Club, an organization long dedicated to preserving the legacy of the industry and supporting its legends in times of need. In his role, Rich was more than an administrator, he was a caretaker of wrestling’s extended family, helping ensure that those who gave their lives to the business were never forgotten.
Known for his professionalism, kindness, and unwavering dedication, Rich worked tirelessly behind the scenes to keep the mission of the Cauliflower Alley Club strong. His efforts helped provide assistance and dignity to countless individuals within the wrestling world.
Rich Ingling’s impact may not always have been in the spotlight, but it was deeply felt by those who knew him and by the many lives he touched through his work.
On behalf of the WFIA, we extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and all members of the Cauliflower Alley Club. The wrestling world is stronger because of Rich Ingling, and his legacy will continue through the lives he helped support.
WFIA Launches Benevolence Fund Campaign to Support Members of the Professional Wrestling Community!
The Wrestling Fans International Association (WFIA) is proud to announce the launch of its Benevolence Fund Campaign, an initiative designed to provide assistance to individuals who have worked within the professional wrestling industry and have fallen upon challenging times.
Professional wrestling has entertained millions of fans around the world for generations. Behind the excitement of the ring are countless individuals—wrestlers, referees, managers, promoters, and other industry professionals—who have dedicated their lives to the business. Unfortunately, many of these individuals may face health issues, financial hardship, or unforeseen life circumstances later in life.
The WFIA Benevolence Fund is being established to help support those members of the wrestling community when they need it most. As a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, donations made to the fund may be tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. Funds raised through this campaign will be used to provide meaningful assistance to those who have contributed to the professional wrestling industry.
Professional wrestling has given fans countless unforgettable memories over the years. Through the Benevolence Fund, WFIA hopes to give back to the men and women who helped create those moments.
At the next WFIA Board of Directors meeting, the organization will discuss the financial goals and requirements necessary to begin accepting applications for assistance. Once the fund reaches its initial financial goal, the program will begin providing support to eligible individuals within the wrestling community.
WFIA encourages members, fans, and supporters of professional wrestling to join in supporting this important initiative. With the help of the wrestling community, the Benevolence Fund has the potential to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who have dedicated themselves to the industry.
