knightmare Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Its run by Matt Jarrett very successful promotion who draw very well, last show i did there well over 500, i can tell you Liger will be facing my son, Roy "Zebra Kid" Knight and i can see it being a cracker.

diamond_dust Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 They also have Kojima on the show so it should be a great line up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Bully Busick Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 This is either going to get cancelled or all the imports will be pulled. Â I would like to catch this event so what makes you say that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobystag Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Well, I personally feel it to be odd that a promotion modeled after World Of Sport and run local shows would drop thousands in bringing Liger and Kojima over and their fees involved when they draw without and feel that ultimately the addition of these two plus Matt Striker may result in a heavy loss suffered. Â But then the promoter has also messaged me on FB to correctly inform me I have a big mouth for someone who's not been in a ring before and I will see when they make it to the UK on March 29th. Â I just fear NJPW's working relationship with the UK may be damaged if this doesn't come about now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 whats the difference between this and PCW, liger could of pulled out on PCW and Striker could of pulled out on LDN, just cause they are big names doesn't mean they wont turn up to little promotions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamond_dust Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 It does seem ambitious to me, but I also find it reassuring that Ricky Knight has vouched for the guy. Ricky knows what works and doesn't strike me as the type of guy who would praise someone who doesn't have a clue what he's doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though a promotion like this wouldn't ordinarily book Liger, there was still the WOS link and Liger had prior been over. But with Kojima, for 90's NJPW fans, who would come for Kojima who wouldn't already be coming for Liger? Right there you already have two talents flying from Japan along with their fee's so you're talking in the thousands for a promotion that had PN News at it's last show in October.  Matt Striker is probably already in the country and probably not as expensive as what you'd think. But I could imagine the flights from Japan alone would be a sizable amount of the budget of the show, for a promotion that could accordingly draw 500(?) without such a massive expense.  It does seem odd for such a massive risk to be undertaken by a promotion like this when they won't advertise nor rely on the net audience that would travel to the show for Liger/Kojima to be worth bringing them over.

Paid Members Psygnosis Posted January 3, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted January 3, 2014 I'd trust Ricky's judgement on this as well, if he says its legit then there shouldn't be any issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernard Rage Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Matt runs a very old school promotion, it'd be very out of character to find him having to pull anything. His set up is about as pro as it comes, in my experience. Â I'll certainly be going, as it's just down the road! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
