What other twitch channels would there be to use your Amazon Prime free subscription on? Why not use it on WrestleCircus and give them some money?

I give it to comically underpaid all-time-best UFC champion Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson, but you have a good point

Mega 64 is a good one. But yes give some to Wrestle Circus as well.

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.

4500 a month would be insane for most indies if you consider its in addition to gate

nowhere near 10% of the audience is going to become subscribers, much less 50%

There have been a lot of Twitch staff watching the stream. I remember them having a heavy presence and pushing VGCW when that first started.

Anybody can stream on Twitch but only a small percentage get partnered. Partnered streamers get a subscription button.

I don't know if it's because I only really know of WC because of Jervis, but all the dicks and pussies and swearing and Johnny Mundo's rear end in a top hat have been kind of off putting.

And yeah, this show feels like it's been going on for decades.

Wrestlecircus is fun but Jesus loving Christ the shows need to be shorter. We bailed with 3 matches left to go because it was already 4 hours in. No show ever needs to be 5.5 hours long.

Lucha/Morrison also went way too long and Sydal/Wentz was not necessary at all. Could have cut those for sure, as much as I love seeing Morrison and hearing him poo poo on Texas.

According to the Wrestlecircus people the show went way longer than it was supposed to due to Lucha Bros flight delays.

Whether that's true or something they made up to cover for how the biggest criticism was Too Long, who knows, but we'll see what happens with their next live show.

I have my problems with WC but I can understand flight delays(if you were there in person I'm sure it blew having to piss 2 blocks away), I used my free sub on them because it seemed like the easiest way to get another promotion's shows for free, since I can't stand to watch people play video games.

WrestleCircus is cool but my god do they overbook shows. How can they make money with the cost of all those flights?

It still would've been too long if not for flight delays or whatever. They always book way too many matches. We've been to the last three shows and they get to be excruciating.

They don't. That's why they begged for money to get a new venue, claiming they'd "outgrown" their old one. It's money marks who have discovered they'd rather make money than break even or lose money, unfortunately they're also weirdo white guys who think they have to DIsRuPt tHe pRoCeSs so that's why they fall back on things like crowdsourcing, Patreon, and Twitch's subscriber/donation-friendly systems(formerly YouTube views).

and Wrestlecircus is overbooked because they're basically the promotion version of "get your poo poo in", except instead of wrestlers doing moves it's promoters/bookers building fantasy cards

That's what I figured as well. Every card is billed as like an indie super card. Maybe book two shows a month if you want to have all of those matches? Or maybe just chill your assess and try to limit your shows to 3-3.5 hours.

Didn't they also not book talent's flights for their last show until like, a few days before the event?

I think so, and they made a title and gave it to/named it after reddit to ensure tons of goodwill.

A little off-topic but there's some decent 'non-people playing video games' things on Twitch. Somebody mentioned Mega64 and they broadcast their podcast live, former goon Kevin Pereira brought back Attack Of The Show Attack and there's some cool travel streams where people wander around various parts of Asia (EXBC, awkwards_travel, Andy Milonakis)
