  Independent Wrestling Federation Takes Hold:
  By Michael McDonnell

  (Bloomfield, NJ)- Aspiring grapplers got a chance to watch professional wrestling superstars in action at the Essex Manor in Bloomfield, NJ, on May 14.
  
  Local wrestler Kevin Knight – a Nutley High School graduate who still resides in town – faced off against such fan-favorites as TNT and the “evil”, 400-pound, Saddam Insane. Odds makers gave the line to Insane, who along with his wrestling cohort TNT make up the Baghdad Bullies tag team.
  
  Knight paired up with wrestler Damian Adams plus other locals.
  
  “There are good guys and bad guys, and I'm one of the good guys,” said Knight, who runs a wrestling clinic with the Independent Wrestling Federation out of West Paterson, NJ.
  
  While there are a number of technical skills Knight teaches to aspiring wrestlers, he admitted about half of the training involves creating an image.
  
  About 50-percent of professional wrestling is the theatrical side,” Knight said. “We actually work to formulate that good guy or bad guy image depending on what wrestler is trying to achieve.”
  
  With such pro wrestling personalities as Hulk Hogan, and The Rock segueing into the movies, wrestlers are becoming a “hot commodity” Knight said.
  
  Knight is also running a special summer clinic that encourages youngsters –both boys and girls ranging in age from 12 to 17-years-old to get involved in wrestling.
  
  
  “It’s a great way to get active this summer instead of falling into the current trend of lounging around the house playing video games and surfing the net,” Knight added.
  
  For more information on the clinic and the wrestling camp interested parties can contact Camp IWF at 973-345-7745 or visit www.wrestlingiwf.com.
