More On Rapper Wale Running Pro Wrestling Show, Big WWE Name Advising Him

As noted earlier, Grammy-nominated rapper Wale is organizing a wrestling show for 2015. Wale revealed on Twitter that the event will take place in New York City, writing:

"Wrestling event in NYC soon. Already booked so many suprises . Phone been ringin off the hook"

Paul Heyman has been working closely with the rapper on the idea. While not directly involved, Heyman is advising Wale on the ins and outs of promoting. Heyman has introduced Wale to clubs and arenas, while also recommending wrestlers to Wale. It should be noted that Heyman is not partnering with Wale on the show; he is merely helping a close friend, according to those close to Heyman.

The Wale/Heyman relationship is no secret, as both have openly exchanged tweets for months:

BTW, @Wale — read your message, and I am most appreciative and humbled by your kind words. #RESPECT
