Kevin Kelly has announced the launch of Time Honored Excellence – T.H.E. Pro Wrestling, with the promotion’s debut event set for Saturday, August 9, 2025, at 6:00 p.m. at the Carlisle Expo Center in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Tickets are on sale now.
In a Facebook post on May 27, Kelly outlined his vision: “Wrestling is a morality play. Good vs evil, right vs wrong. A hero, a villain and a conflict. It’s not complicated, but we make it so.” He emphasized a focus on real characters, episodic TV, and meaningful conflict, steering clear of “insiders, workrate, or five-star matches” in favor of stories fans genuinely care about.
The debut card will feature Sean Carr, Brandon Day, Wrecking Ball Legursky, and The Golden Era, David Goldy and Brian Morris, wrestlers Kelly describes as “in demand” across upstate New York, New Jersey, New England, and Ohio.
Fans can expect exclusive merchandise and multiple ticketing options. VIP packages include early entry, first three rows seating, meet-and-greet access, and more. A limited Superfan Section offers front-row seating, pre-show access, free pizza, and bonus merch.
“We're not just putting on shows,” Kelly said. “We're building a movement.”
