That Jack Evans one was amazing, I still remember it well. I even emailed the guy who made it to tell him because his name was on the advert.

Classic Wrestling Revolution (the promotion that Shane Douglas, Jake Roberts, Road Warrior Animal, etc. are involved with) just posted this:
 

Here it is! A sneak peek at what CWR is bringing to the 41 million visitors to Las Vegas and over 2 billion television and digital network viewers worldwide.



The vision of Rowdy Roddy Piper, The Franchise Shane Douglas and internet and media entrepreneur Bill Townsend, along with Emmy award winning executive producers, the co-founder of Telemundo, 8 World Champion coaches, a former US Olympic wrestling coach, a 4-time NCAA champion, and others who want to bring back the realism and competitiveness that professional wrestling has lost, is coming to Las Vegas, Nevada Spring 2016.

7 two-hour shows each week at a leading Las Vegas casino.

346 shows a year!

Over 48 hours of original television programming each week broadcast globally via network and digital partners, accessible from over 168 countries, reaching over 2.6 billion people. Content accessible on over 650 devices from smartphones to tablets to TVs.

Color commentary from Jake “The Snake” Roberts and play-by-play by wrestling veteran Kriss Kloss

Whole new ways to view matches with new formats. Plus, technologies that not only let you see and hear the match, but feel every hit and takedown.

We're bringing wrestling back to the future to give you want you want!

Welcome to the Revolution!

There's always been new promotions talking a big game, but this is just ridiculous.

Have they actually ripped Schiavone/Heenan soundbytes at 0:38??

100%. Its a total rip from a WCW show. I've heard that loads of times, but cant quite remember which show. Maybe the Goldberg/Hogan match.

 

The Shane Douglas promotion looks like garbage, sadly. Its typical that with Shane Douglas involved, Shane Douglas has to be all over it. I think the majority of planet earth would rather see Mantar than Douglas these days.

"See you at the finish line Vince!"

 

Is that the line where he's waiting for you to serve him his Billy Bear sausage, Shane?

 

The whole thing looked like trash. It's sad to see Paul London on something like that, I still think he's worth much more.

God he's terrible. XPW was awful and he managed to make it worse then kill it with his booking. That was nearly 15 years ago too. He's probably even more mental now,

 

Actually I know he's mental because I remember footage from Botchamania a few years ago at that extreme reunion event he organised. The whole thing was a clusterfuck and he wrestled in a shirt due to his massive gut. The fans chanted "fuck you" and "just retire" (not even a please). He created the show and they still trashed him!

 

On the positive side maybe a few people will get some money-mark pay days, but the poor footage implys he doesnt have Dixie money. And we know from TNA that even with a lot of money backing you, poor creative will kill you eventually.

 

Also if you want people to take your investor seriously, maybe film him in his swanky corporate office? Not leaning against some tatty stairs in an empty student house.

 

Two thumbs down.

London is capable of more but he fucks himself by not keeping his head down and just playing the game.

Share looks better than he did a few years ago.

He's more old Share Douglas, which is justifiable as an old Shane Douglas, and less like a fat Norman Hale or fat old Onslow, which aren't justifiable as a franchise, unless its a KFC franchise doing an oap special.

I'm happy to see The Franchise throwing down the gauntlet again to Vince. It's about time we had another damn revolution and Douglas is always the man for the job. I look forward to him crashing WWE TV again and starting chants that everyone can join in with. I understand he was gonna show up in the crowd on NXT tonight, but security wouldn't let him in with his non-WWE licenced mask or his "See you at the finish line, Motherfucker" T-Shirt.

 

Next week perhaps.
