El Estrago Bonito posted:That's a legitimate point they're making though. IDK about the UK, but at least in the US there are a lot of places (like, say, Oregon) that have pretty decent amounts of wrestling fans and long histories of wrestling but who never get any kind of touring show that isn't local feds (NWA Portland is literally the worst indie wrestling ever). There is something to be said for a brand that's willing to bring in sort of known guys for a 500 person show. i can tell you from living there for years that Grimsby does not have any wrestling history short of people remembering going to see Big Daddy at the pier 40 years ago. it's backwoods enough that i'm sure there's plenty of fans though.

Clearly JJ needs to work out a deal with Shacho Tharpe to bring BIG DADDY YUM YUM over since Big Daddies have a history of drawing in your town. Edit: Off subject but do you have any clue why I've heard of your city's football club before despite them being in the fifth tier? The first think that popped into my head was "Grimsby Town FC" Thauros fucked around with this message at 18:04 on Jul 21, 2015 |

You guys do realize that Oregon is the only state that requires the full academic sports treatment for wrestling events, with dozens of additional expenses involved in running shows like large medical staffs on hand, right? This is The Reason Oregon doesn't get shows.

Double J ineptly dances around the question about if they have a TV deal:quote:Global Force Wrestling's Jeff Jarrett recently spoke with Donald Wood and the rest of the Ring Rust Radio crew. Courtesy of The Deco Elbow Drop, they sent us these highlights: http://www.f4wonline.com/more/more-top-stories/103-indies/43675-jeff-jarrett-talks-gfws-first-tv-taping-and-plans

There's the WCWC in Portland, Len Denton (The Grappler) owns it or is at least involved, he manages and a couple week ago actually wrestled. I've been watching them on youtube where they upload their weekly tv show. Edit: to be more on topic of GFW, if I can find a legit way to watch without a cable tv sub I'll give it a watch. Looking at the website they're booking a lot of people I like, it's more a matter if the stories they come up with are terrible. smikey fucked around with this message at 02:23 on Jul 25, 2015 |

I guess it shouldn't be but it's kind of incomprehensible to me that Jeff Jarrett is stupid enough to not realize that any association with TNA, be it using a 6 sided ring or y'know actually showing up on their TV and working an interpromotional angle with them, is the worst possible start you could give a new promotion in terms of buzz.

Jarrett really loves that fuckin' gimmick. Why not step up the sides, Jeff? Eight sides. Ten sides. Twenty. A hundred sides.
