Liam S. Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Personally a good promo make me feel something and that just didnt I got nothing about his character other than I think im hard and Im angry and i agree it was better than some, hell it was better than a lot of the terrible promo Ive seen online but is still lacking in substance, Just another angry guy who wants to hurt people saying lines. That said he does look like he could crack some skulls but I would have thought that just looking at him and its nothing to do with his promo.

Loki Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Well, that was pretty poor. It rather undercuts the seriousness of the promo if you're constantly on the verge of smiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick "Madman" Kelly Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 He's not lacking in intensity that's for sure. I genuinely think if a mini highlight reel to sit alongside this might help his cause. As it stands I just see an angry young lad and not a nasty bastard that XWA probably want us to see him as. Credit where credit is due though even if the content was slightly cliched he did hold my attention for the length of the promo. There people out today who could not do a decent 1 minute promo out there nevermind 2 mins. Â Best of luck to the lad. He's in good hands up there in morcambe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Is God Posted December 23, 2011 Author Share Posted December 23, 2011 This is all good feedback so thanks very much, although Mr Loki, if you think that's "poor", I'd hate to see how you'd describe a bad promo. Still, you're entitled to your opinion. Â Like I said, this lad is not the finished article but a rough diamond who is displaying a lot of potential. I wouldn't have put this out there if I didn't think he could be something special, not least of all because this puts pressure on both Craig and myself to deliver. But I think we can handle it.

tattooedgooner Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Good promo however I felt I wanted to see more which means he must have grabbed my attention.  I was curious to see his physique and more curious to see what he looks like in the ring  Just wondering if doing this puts pressure on the lad at all ?

Victor Is God Posted December 23, 2011 Author Share Posted December 23, 2011 Like I said before, if I didn't think he was mentally tough enough to deal with it, I wouldn't have started this thread. Merry Christmas everyone and PS - follow @XWAWrestling on Twitter. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvera2006 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I just cant take a 19 year old seriously when he says " I'm a hard man". Â To be honest, putting the promo video on here is a bit like doing MOVEZ at a show just to impress the UKFF'ers. It really doesnt matter what they think, as they likely make up less than 5% of any audience, the rest being made up of families and kids. Thats who wrestlers should focus on impressing, not the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick "Madman" Kelly Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I dont think its a bad idea but like you said a true indication of a wrestler is when he walks out and works infront of a wider audience. The goal is to entertain the majority and if the minority dont like your stuff then so be it. The ultimate goal should always be to entertain everyone. It might not be achievable but its shouldnt deter you from trying to achieve it. Â I think as long as hes in the capable hands of XWA that he will do well for himself. Exposure is exposure at the end of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor Is God Posted December 24, 2011 Author Share Posted December 24, 2011 PS - Just to clarify, I agree with the statement that UK promoters should be focussed on impressing families and kids because they make up the majority of the audience. There's absolutely nothing wrong whatsoever though with posting a promo video on here. You'd be a fool to ignore the internet completely in this day and age. Most of the top UK wrestling promotions have their own YouTube channels, as well as Facebook and Twitter. Anything that helps promote your product and gain interest will grow your company and ultimately sell tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members gadge Posted December 26, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted December 26, 2011 I thought the promo improved as it went on, especially when he stopped looking down. Once he was completely focused on talking into the camera and not at the floor I was much more convinced by what he was saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrM Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 And just like Sam Slam, he has a crap name as well. Kollins? Seriously? Kollins? With a K? He looks quite rum though, so that's good. Not enough people with rum faces in Britwres. That name though. Really, it's fucking terrible. It's that K. It reminds me of swapping Z in place of an S, or dropping an E that comes before an X. It's a bit 1998. Â About 50 people in the whole world will care about the spelling of a wrestler's name as much as you seem to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
