It acknowledges the substantial impact of wrestling events on local economies and communities, as well as the contributions of wrestling to American culture, including charity work and support for the troops.

The resolution specifically mentions Rhode Island's contribution to the wrestling world, with local independent companies like the New England Wrestling Alliance (NEWA) and the Renegade Wrestling Alliance (RWA) supporting community events and charities. It also references the establishment of the 'Official Wrestling Museum' by Dino Ruggiero to honor the industry. In recognition of the importance of professional wrestling, the resolution proclaims June 13th to be "Professional Wrestling Day" in Rhode Island and directs the Secretary of State to send a certified copy of the resolution to The Official Wrestling Museum, Dino Ruggiero, and the Renegade Wrestling Alliance.
