That really sucks I wonder what this means for AIW because it sounded like Thorne was gonna call it quits when it Biggins had the serious health issue that put him in a coma recently.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.

gonna laugh my rear end off when someone who isn't NDA'd by the promoter reveals how much the "streaming fees" were from the tips

these are tech start-up insane people, and probably will treat that tip jar like instacart

Evolve this Sunday is like 10 minutes away from me and there's one appealing match. Gabriel do better (I'm probably going).

Evolve needs more actual feuds; the wrestling is always great but every matchup is basically taking two dudes on the roster at random and going 'hey wouldn't it be cool if these guys fight?' Every time it seems like they're setting up something (Yehi beating Riddle and Williams scumbag eliminating Yehi on mania weekend, why Priscilla Kelly is around doing nothing), not much really comes of it.

It doesn't help that the title matches just kinda...happen; sometimes it'll be mentioned that someone got a title shot because of a win streak, but both of Lio Rush's title shots have just been 'i want a title shot'.

[I'm going on Sunday and in August; I complain but always end up having a good time so :shrug: ]

i'm more worried about the tips not making it to the wrestlers as the donations are presented as, and a big cut will be taken out for the company, instead of the wrestlers with the excuse being, 'oh, the tip was technically to wrestlecircus," like how some delivery companies will treat tips on their app. wrestlecircus is shady, so if it turns out to be lovely, i hope people just order stuff from their merch stores or ask for a paypal donation link instead. if it works out like it's pitched, and isn't hiding a bunch of bullshit behind the nda's they have most people involved in the company sign, that'd be awesome, too.

i'm going to this show and extremely fuckin hype for Riddle/Lee, ZSJ/Jaka,, Dickinson/Yehi, and seeing Trent Baretta tbh

also $25 tickets and a $20 r/t Lyft I'm splitting with my roommate make it kinda worth it by default

WrestleCircus has begun and is doing around 2600 viewers with pretty decent audio and video quality and already a few dozen subscribers. This shows potential.

Pro wrestling is niche and Twitch is a niche platform. The first match is starting and there's 2500 people watching. That's an amazing number for a first time live broadcast. If it got to the point where they could reliably pull in 2000-3000 people with each live event, that'd be a runaway success. But even if 50% of that audience turned into subscribers, that's only $4500 a month.

There's no real ad money, donations during a live show are being given to the wrestlers and viewership is under 100 when they're showing VOD/the owner is playing PS4.

You'd think when one of your wrestlers gets injured because of a bad decision you'd prevent them from doing poo poo like coffin drops while injured...but apparently Gabe Sapolsky and I are just on completely different wavelengths....
