El Gallinero Gros posted:I don't think this is true at all, the net was lousy with e feds during the Monday night wars. Yeah, people were excited about wrestling and wanted to do it themselves. But better.  Me, I'm content now with just playing some TEW and then getting mad and quitting because I make the jump to Cult status and the costs outweigh the profits.

SG Bamboo posted:But for real most of the good guys from Chikara are now with AEW, with the rest either in the WWE system (Drew Gulak, Riccochet, Sara Del Rey) or hanging out with Ultramantic Black Sara really went off the grid after becoming a trainer, now that I think about it. (Which is fine.)

LionYeti posted:I've loved what I've seen of Edith, she is/was my local indie, LLL's womens champ and she does great even with some of the less skilled workers she faces. Speaking of they're doing Heidi Howitzer vs Miyu Yamashita vs Masha Slamovich in June which is gonna kick substantial amounts of rear end. I love how Miyu came over and all these promotions want to work with her.

MassRafTer posted:He ran an indie in the late 2000s and 2010s, there was a lot of talent available. He was also very, very cheap. He was paying Hero peanuts even though Hero was the company's biggest star and trainer. The pay was so bad that it dominated the discourse about him leaving CHIKARA even though the rumored other reason (him sleeping with Shane Storm's girlfriend) was a pretty valid reason not to want to use him. I always wondered about that. I remember a story at the time was Quack was mad Hero had an international tour but Claudio was on the same tour because Kings of Wrestling and somehow Quackenbush knew about Claudio but not Hero question mark.

Erin M. Fiasco posted:On the subject of CHIKARA, I still consider Ultramantis Black one of my favorite wrestlers ever. I wish he'd get booked more, even just get a cameo on AEW or something. I think Mantis is happy running LVAC and keeping his dates to a minimum.

syzpid posted:Reminds me of how the guy who wrote Forrest Gump took points on the net profits instead of gross and has never made a dime off the movie because the accountants continually find ways to claim after expenses it didn't make any money. The cult favorite cartoon Freakazoid the main character explicitly tells somebody to always take a piece of the gross, never the net. The net is fantasy.

El Gallinero Gros posted:IIRC Jack Nicholson took a piece of all merchandise AND box office take, and made out like a drat bandit because Batman was EVERYWHERE that summer. That's like Mark Hamill. He also gets a piece of merch and residuals from the movies, even more than just the original trilogy.
