In case you didn't know which you won't. ICW are actually on air in italy (ironically not in Scotland or the rUK as of yet) and the view figures are getting better per show.

That's in two weeks. The latest week in 20th may had 310,102 To the point that it even beats TNA's viewing records.
The questions we're left with are: Which Neopolitan family is manipulating Italian TV viewership stats? And for what purpose??

You cannot show me the PWG ticket prices and convince me wrestlers aren't receiving their normal rate.
It's never smart to be certain of such things in a business as carny as this one. That PWG has a collective-y vibe to it would only make me more incredulous

Doesn't he have the book at some Texas indie? Don't imagine there's much $ in that. Pretty sure he's been the interviewer for some shoot videos in addition to being the subject of a couple.

I'd never received any hint that there was any pro wrestling in Denver, the promoters apparently don't have the fortitude (or the sense) to hock outside a WWE show or something.

All for the best, though. I'm not yet sad enough to attend a no-name local indie in a dead territory.

I'm approaching it like any other startup, ie a long shot over the long haul. I'm not expecting an amalgamation of cult promotions with short-term cash boosts to sustain momentum as essentially a federation of feds, when they each put on shows on, what, a monthly basis? There would be such a glut of exhibition wrestling. If ROH could get the shot in the arm from this that it's needed for years (and they got a better booker c: ) then they'd have a real product that could break out of the enthusiast market. Regular cult pro wrestling plus coverage of all the sports that most people don't see outside of the Olympics sounds like a shaky proposition.

A good question to ask is, what's keeping Lucha Underground from profitability? Is inaccessibility their problem? If they dropped the network straitjacket and went straight to a $20 per month subscription TV model, would they flourish? If so, then there's probably reason to be bullish about this announcement. Otherwise? LU is the most well-made, coherent and distinct product on the indies, and if it can't sell, then what chance does FloSlam have?

Selling the wolves to a charnel house and then breaking a leg so as to not even be around as it slowly disintegrates was perfect. I can't wait to see how Davey Richards owns himself next.*

* "can't wait to see" is a figure of speech, I will not be following Davey Richards' path of humiliation, I will be waiting to hear about it.

Mike Burns had the books for a while until 2005 when Zandig shoved him down the stairs at Cage of Death 7 backstage (for putting together a CZW vs ROH feud for 2006). Then when Zandig wanted to "bring it back to 99," it lead to bad booking and low attendance after doing shows with 600+ for regular shows and 800+ for the bigger shows.

The rumors were he was rubbing coaches wrong in NXT by giving people advice while they felt like he hadn't paid his dues in the WWE right? Specifically coaches that aren't even in the WWE anymore. That, and they thought he wasn't taking things seriously because he couldn't keep his weight down.
He was burying a coach / coaches in private and someone in the locker room narced on him.
