The Backyard Wrestling Organization, or BWO, comes together on the weekends to put on a show for its fans not only on YouTube and Instagram, but throughout Milford as well.

The BWO puts on events for its fans on a regular basis, these events normally occur on Saturdays. The BWO has also been putting on these events since the middle of July of 2018. 

“What makes me want to keep doing it a year later is that I have a lot of fun doing it with my friends,” said BWO wrestler and part-owner Angel Santiago. “Also, I feel that we’ve gained enough of an audience now where, a lot of people are starting to watch our content, so it’s important to me to service the people who are actually watching it.”

The BWO has an event this Saturday starting at 6 p.m. The details for this event are on their Instagram. They also have a busy schedule of events lined up on the horizon for their audience to enjoy. 

̈ ̈Working with the BWO is often times the highlight of my day because of the friends I get to work with and the crazy stuff we do,” said BWO co-founder, part-owner, and wrestler Vaughn Weston.

The BWO is also a place for friends to gather and hang out with each other, while being able to enjoy a common interest. 

̈The BWO to me is a way to hang out with friends and do something unique while doing that,” said BWO wrestler Brian Zirkel. ¨I see and talk to people there I never would have if I hadn’t joined and have met new friends in it too.”

People from all parts of Jonathan Law, as well as Milford, join the BWO for many different reasons.

¨I joined the BWO because it looked like a nice group of people and a fun thing to do,” said new BWO member Dan Folloni. ̈Also some people were on the tennis team with me.”

The BWO started off as a small group of friends in a basement, but it has grown substantially since then.

¨I am very proud of what I’ve been able to do with 6 friends in a basement, because honestly I never thought that this would turn into such a big thing, but now we ́re getting 300-400 views on a YouTube video and one of our videos is already almost at 1,000 ,” said Santiago. ̈ ̈Obviously everyone around the school knows what it is, so I ́m very proud of what we’ve been able to do with it.”
