Hello, my name is Tyler Gorden, and I’m reaching out to share a dream that means the world to me and my friends. We’re a group of passionate backyard wrestlers who have a YouTube channel called Small Town Backyard Wrestling (STBW for short). We love performing and perfecting our craft. Right now, we wrestle on a trampoline in my backyard, driven by nothing but love for wrestling and the hope that one day we can take it a step further and step into a real ring of our own.

To get any in-ring experience, we currently have to travel either 2 1/2 hours to Iowa or 4 hours to Wisconsin to other small companies that we collab with, which is difficult and expensive for us to do on a regular basis. Despite the distance and challenges, we stay committed because we believe in each other and in our dreams.

What we really need now is a proper backyard wrestling ring of our own—a safe, strong one we can train in every day and use not only to bring some good wrestling to our community in the form of live shows but to also grow our YouTube community as well. With some help from you guys, it would help us purchase a backyard wrestling ring and all the other stuff needed for it, like the boards and any extra things we need. This will give us the opportunity to chase this dream on a whole new level. Every donation from this GoFundMe will go directly for the wrestling ring, and we’re beyond grateful for any help you can give. Thank you, everyone!
