The Genius Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 kirby higher than banks?? the worlds gone mad!!!  but look at how many bookings Kirby has had in comparison?  I really like Kirby though, a very good consistant wrestler  I thought it was about quality not quantity  How do the PCW meet & greets work? Are they before or after the show as i need to figure out train times. Couldn't get to the Colt show as I was gigging but saw the lead up to Travis Lionheart on TV and it was a great match.

Whiskey_Jim Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 kirby higher than banks?? the worlds gone mad!!! thats the thing about this count down, all it does is reflect the opinions of certain members of the forum. its my opinion that T-Bone, Allmark and Spitfire should be in the top ten alongside the likes of Spud, Mastiff and Ligero but sadly there are still plenty of people who regard someones ability to perform endless streams of moves as the best wrestlers in the country.

Spitfire as in AJ, or as in Tony? Either way you're miles wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Well i'm sure if T-Bone, Allmark, Spitfire, Spud and Mastiff were on more shows around the UK, they might have been up in the top 10. But like i'm saying even in the midlands i rarely see Spud, T-Bone and Mastiff all who have wrestled for AWW in days gone by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant Tony and I rate him quite highly, as does Brian Dixon who is and will always be the most successful, therefore best, promoter in the country. Those guys wrestle in the midlands plenty, just not Birmingham.... which is not the only city in the midlands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those guys wrestle in the midlands plenty, just not Birmingham.... which is not the only city in the midlands. There's a reason some All-Star guys are being rated and some aren't. Spitfire is boring and always has been, going back to when he was in 3CW some time ago. No charisma, just boring. Plus he's obsessed with World of Sport which leaves him in the past somewhat, despite never having actually been involved to the best of my knowledge. Also Dean Allmark is Brian's son, is he not?

robbo9292 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Shame i'm not from Birmingham and didn't mean Birmingham overall when i said midlands. But anyway surly by now people realize it kind of more is an exposure type thing with the votes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know to be honest, does that mean he's not a good wrestler? Being a son of a promoter may open door's but everyone know's that Dixon is only interested in making money so Im sure if his son couldn't make the grade he wouldn't be working.

Snitsky's back acne Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Also Dean Allmark is Brian's son, is he not? Â Son in law. He's married to Dixon's daughter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he's a fine wrestler, but card position isn't always to do with ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskey_Jim Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Allstar dont have card posistions, any two of just about the entire roster could headline the show which is why the only tend to have the best workers on their shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But anyway surly by now people realize it kind of more is an exposure type thing with the votes  I've given a fair bit of thought to this very thing over the 7 years I've been running this project: what exactly makes someone do well in the UKFF UK50? It should be talent... and it has a lot to do with exposure... but the two are somewhat intertwined.  If someone is more talented, they are more likely to be brought in by other promoters elsewhere, leading to that increased exposure. No promoter in, say, Kent, is going to bring Kongo Kev down from Scotland for a show, but they might shell out to bring, say, Lionheart down. Likewise, someone could have all the exposure in the world, but if the majority think they are naff, they aren't placing high in the UKFF UK50.  All in all, I'm usually pretty happy with the way it all works out. It's grown to the stage now where the project represents the collective opinion of over 100 UKFF members, so is undoubtedly the biggest single attempt anywhere in the country to do something like this.  Anyway... more write-ups on the way now, with the whole thing being wrapped up over the course of this coming weekend!

Snitsky's back acne Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I imagine the fact that the likes of Zebra Kid, Zak 'Bex' Zodiac and Phil Powers are not on the list shows that exposure does have at least something to do with whether or not someone is on the UK50 list.
