Four people, 3 of which are signed to BBT's companies. Gets Ronda ever so much closer to AEW, and since sex offenders are now fair game for him, signing a Sandy Hook truther would probably make no difference any more.

They made her work a WWE style? She is probably still bad, but working a limited style of wrestling doesn't always work with people. See every luchador that isn't Rey Mysterio that had been in WWE.

She doesn't really understand Wrestling, she was very upset that she got boos as a heel.

I feel like a "Good Wrestler" would get that.

She was someone who was praised and really over for the first 9 months of her run and then became the worst wrestler on the planet. I don't really want to see her wrestler but her doing an indie right after leaving WWE is really interesting and doing it with Athena is very interesting for match quality/trainwreck/political reasons all mixed into one.

syzpid posted:

Bix man, just don't defend them. More and more stuff about CCW is coming out seemingly every day. It's not like these are issues coming from small Indy wrestlers who might not be the most professional. It's coming from people that at least i would trust, Edith Surreal, Brooke Valentine, and now Steph Delander.
I wasn't defending them. I was waiting for SOMEONE to say SOMETHING substantive that wasn't just vague poo poo or playing a game of telephone. Steph did that. I'm sorry, but "a sponsor promised me X" and then refusing to clarify if the promoter did too is not reflective of the promoter. And Brooke Valentine was among those who were deliberately trying to make it seem like a sexual assault story when everyone agrees that it wasn't, so I would absolutely not include her with Steph and Edith.

RGR Lucha Libre has a show booked at a little soccer arena that doubles as an indie wrestling school near me this Saturday.

An Hijo Del Vikingo and Penta main event and tickets cost less than a ppv? I'm so stoked.
I hadn't heard of them before, but looking them up they've been able to get some real stars for some of their shows and also some regular talent I've seen in California indies.

BEYOND Wrestling has been hosting WRESTIVAL a group of indie shows centered around New Year's. The crowds the last two years have been abysmal and the schedule never makes any sense. This year is no different.

NYD is on a Monday. So you could run Saturday, Sunday and Monday all day and people wouldn't have to take off work to attend or stream. You could start things off with Friday evening shows if you wanted. They will not be doing that.

quote:

- Remarkable Wrestling - Thursday afternoon, 12/28/23 - 3:30pm ET doors, 4:00pm ET bell time

- Wrestling Open - Thursday night, 12/28/23 - 7:30pm ET doors, 8:00pm ET bell time

- Pizza Party Wrestling - Friday early afternoon, 12/29/23 - 11:30am ET doors, 12:00pm ET bell time

- Premier Wrestling Federation - Friday afternoon, 12/29/23 - 3:30pm ET doors, 4:00pm ET bell time

- Inter Species Wrestling x Sean Henderson Presents - Friday night, 12/29/23 - 7:30pm ET doors, 8:00pm ET bell time

- Expect The Unexpected Wrestling - Saturday early afternoon, 12/30/23 - 11:30am ET doors, 12:00pm ET bell time

- ICW: No Holds Barred PART 1 - Saturday afternoon, 12/30/23 - 3:30pm ET doors, 4:00pm ET bell time time

- ICW: No Holds Barred PART 2 - Saturday night, 12/30/23 - 7:30pm ET doors, 8:00pm ET bell time

- Rad Pro Rasslin' - Sunday early afternoon, 12/31/23 - 11:30am ET doors, 12:00pm ET bell time

- Blitzkrieg Wrestling - Sunday afternoon, 12/31/23 - 3:30pm ET doors, 4:00pm ET bell time time

- Beyond Wrestling "Heavy Lies The Crown '23" - Sunday night, 12/31/23 - 7:30pm ET doors, 8:00pm ET bell time

Yep they are running from Thursday afternoon until midnight on NYE. I usually take that week off and I can't imagine going to watch wrestling at noon on a Friday. It's not an awful lineup, there's a couple shows I could see going to. I just don't understand the business plan. Even if running in front of 20 people on Friday afternoon is somehow profitable... why wouldn't you just run that show on NYD. If you are willing to run NYE, why not NYD?

i can only assume that the point of half of those shows is to have a money mark "run their own promotion" (use the guys who are already in the building and get them paid again)

that ISW one has some guy's name in it even

also theoretically this is all IWTV content, which would matter if anyone anywhere in the world subscribed to IWTV. i think the last time i heard about anything on IWTV was when those cagefight shows were happening in a barn which was, what, early 2021?

We obviously don't have good subscriber numbers for IWTV but all indications are the numbers are miniscule. The working theory is it is run on a shoestring budget and the promotions on it are heavily dependant on sponsorships like you said, but even then, the decisions don't really make sense. But it's indie wrestling.

The other insane thing is a pass to all events is $240 and they are promoting that this is less than $22 per show.

If I am paying for standing room $22 does not sound like a very good bulk discount.
