Ken Anderson clearly stated that nobody had been conned or scammed. Regarding the issues with the wrestling school building, he said that they are currently looking for a property with specific needs. However, two months ago, they found such a building with criteria that include high ceilings, zero noise restrictions, ample parking, price, etc.
But some students expressed their concerns over distance, so he decided that the property was not a perfect fit. Ken also stated that until they find a building to train the students, students are open to contact the wrestling school anytime.
