The JPWA was created in January 1998 to help a young California man...who was paralyzed in an automobile accident. Originally, the JPWA wrestled at The Monster Factory in Woodbury, NJ, with "Pretty Boy" Larry Sharpe as their host, and were taught by the Factory's best talent, including some great WWA stars. The JPWA released its first tape in June '98. "Originally created as a short-term fundraiser, the JPWA experienced a surge in popularity which allowed it to flourish. After a super first year, the JPWA continued to help support the charity, while offering a venue for new wrestling talent and providing quality sports entertainment. A portion of the proceeds from tape and photograph sales were donated to the [young man's] Fund. The [young man's] family had no insurance and insurmountable medical bills."
After releasing 50 tapes they came under scrutiny by the media. It was alleged that the person behind the organization was a catholic priest, the parents of the young man never received any money from it, there were questions of whether it was a non-profit, not-for-profit, or for-profit organization and last but not least...whether it's appropriate for under aged young men to wear Speedos, clothespins on their nipples, wear dog collars, or hit each other with possibly phallic objects.
In May of 2002, the following message appeared in the JPWA website:
On May 29th, 2002, the JPWA Board of Directors decided to close the JPWA web site. The JPWA site has always been devoted simply to wrestling entertainment; unfortunately, some in the media are selectively choosing certain images and making incorrect generalizations and assumptions about our organization. Although we feel that we committed no wrongdoing of any kind, the Board felt that it was in the best interest of all parties involved to close the site. All prior orders for merchandise will be filled. The JPWA Board and wrestlers would like to extend our gratitude to everyone who has shown support to our organization through our existence, and especially to those who have expressed their support in the past month.
