PCW Facility burned down

The fed is based in NorCal. From their site:

PCW WORKFARM CONSUMED BY BLAZE (Arson suspected)

The call came in at 3:45am on Tuesday morning (late Monday night). Y.C.F.D. Officials contacted, PCW Owner Bill Reeb, with the news. Apparently, from the early reports we have got late Monday night some individual broke out the main bay window to the business entrance of The PCW facility and ignited a fire using a home made device. The evidence collected from the scene suggests that it was a makeshift Malatov Cocktail.

The fire quickly spread throughout the building and within minutes the entire complex was on fire. Gone not only is the PCW offices, but alas our neighbors as well. The fire consumed every shop in the building complex, not one was missed. Yuba fire officials are still searching for clues and the insurance companies will no doubt conduct an investigation.

This tragedy comes at a time when PCW was on the rise. Recently PCW had been involved with other promoters in the hopes of expaning the PCW fan base but now all plans undoubtedly have gone in the tank. All planned events for PCW have been cancelled and no dates have been set to make them up.

As a person that has spent 3 long years working my ass off to see this company grow, I am deeply saddened to see this happen.

Everything was lost in the blaze, two 20X20ft rings, tons of brand new weight equiptment, sound system and all of the past years show archives. This fire has left us devastated!

XPW is in SoCal area but they're not wanted there.

Haha XPW the wrestling company is in PhiladelphiaCal area now. XPW the sleazy porn company is SoCal.

Even though it is something Rob Black would do I really don't think he would be connected. PCW may have been on the rise but it would pose little threat to XPW.

Rob Black set this fire, just like Rob Black cut off the Messiah's thumbs, just like Rob Black was behind the downfall of WCW and eventually the WWE. Don't you all know, ROB BLACK IS THE ANTICHRIST OF WRESTLING!!!!!

Now that joking aside, that sounds pretty bad. I highly doubt that this would be the work of a "rival" promotion, could have been someone that PCW said wasn't ready for their main roster or something and they called a friend who called a gang, etc. Get my drift?
