Throughout his legendary career, Tiger Jeet Singh faced off against a number of hard opponents. On Saturday, he faced one of his toughest yet in the form of Mother Nature. With help from a number of tag team partners, he was able to come up with another victory, ensuring that Tiger Fest 2011, his annual wrestling fundraiser show, was a major success.
The wrestling show was scheduled to be held at an open air venue in downtown Milton, Ontario. The lot, owned by Troy’s Diner, had been converted into a makeshift arena, with bleachers set up around the ring where the evening’s event was going to take place. Unfortunately, rain had been falling all afternoon, and the rumblings of thunder in the distance put the show in jeopardy. Not only would it be unlikely that fans would want to brave the elements, but even if they could, it would pose too much of a risk for the wrestlers to perform. Consequently, with less than two hours to belltime, the event’s organizers made the call to move the show indoors.

The last week of May ‘South Asian Heritage Month’ commemorated the Tiger Jeet Singh Foundation’s 1st annual school tour. Philanthropist, humanitarian and wrestling legend Tiger Jeet Singh, and his son, former WWE superstar Tiger Ali Singh, made visits to Treeline Public School on May 20, 2011 and Sunny View Middle School on May 30, 2011.
To celebrate Asian Heritage Month, these icons spoke to students about their message of “say no to drugs, stay in school, respect your parents and teachers, and stay tiger-fit!” The students at both schools embraced the Tigers with loud roars throughout their presentation.
Accompanying the Tigers was Canadian recording artist Prita Chhabra, who presented screenings of her debut music video “Roots”, celebrating her generation’s duality between their Canadian and South Asian heritages. Quite fitting considering Tiger Ali Singh made an impressive acting cameo in Prita’s video, along with the fact that Prita recently announced she would be donating proceeds from her “Roots” single to the Tiger Jeet Singh Foundation’s Japan relief efforts.
Wrestling legend Tiger Jeet Singh and Tiger Jeet Singh Jr. paid a visit to FirePower CrossFit earlier this week to watch and assist Milton students in their training.
The students are preparing for Tigers High School Challenge, part of the 2011 Tiger Fest to be held on Saturday, June 4th as part of Milton’s Downtown Street Festival.
Tigers High School Challenge will pit top student athletes (4 male and 4 female) from each of the three local high schools (Bishop Reding, E.C. Drury and Milton District) in a strongman style competition. The young athletes will participate from 12:00 – 2:00 PM in a very challenging array of events that will culminate with each team pulling a bus across the finish line!
Wrestling legend Tiger Jeet Singh along with his son former WWE superstar Tiger Ali Singh were on hand recently at Desi Wear headquarters to pick up the first shipment of TigerFest shirts.
Manny Brar of Desi Wear explains, “Desi Wear and Entripy.com are extremely proud to be working with the Tiger Jeet Singh Foundation in their efforts to give back to local charities. It has been a great pleasure working alongside Tiger Sr. and Jr. and creating an amazing “TigerFest” t-shirt design for their upcoming “TigerFest” event on June 4th in Milton.”
