britwresevo Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Â We had a show in May as well, it wasn't announced on UKFF but it definitely happened A fourth is scheduled for November. Â Oh right sorry I could only see the March one on your website. Can I ask what's your average attendance? In my own tiering system I've taken the liberty of developing here I would consider a promotion drawing at least 200 - 300 per show as Tier 4. :-)Â Â Just under 200, so I'd classify us as a Tier 5 on your scale. Â For now, at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For good promotions running in the South East like yourselves, 4FW etc; I'd strongly implore you to run within the zones a few times a year as you'll be opening up a massive travel area. Simple reason is that if you live in the six London zones it's very expensive to take a train outside them, even to places that are close in travel time (like Stevenage, Purfleet, Thatcham and such like). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moofasa Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Chikara had a date at the garage this year if that counts. Â ICW has run 3 shows in London two were at the o2 Islington and one at KOKO Camden. RPW and IPW:UK are completely separate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could understand if the London promotions were all running stuff on a weekly basis but, as you'll see from my list above, that's far from the case. There's plenty of spare room for another promotion to run London regularly and draw well without impacting on the existing promotions whatsoever in my view (in fact there's room for several more). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Linus Posted June 15, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted June 15, 2015 It's about respecting territory but probably more about respecting the product. PROGRESS have carved out their niche in north London and I'd frown on any promotion coming in and trying to do what they do in the same area. But if someone did family-oriented stuff - or a comedy, lucha, whatever promotion - that would be different. The lines could also blur if the "resident" promotion are putting on poor shows and not drawing crowds - do they still deserve "protection"? What a business, eh?

Maikeru Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 This list is due an update; I have amended what I can but anyone who can help fill in any gaps would be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Jackson Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 We (Dropkixx) unfortunately don't run shows in London anymore, we last ran Ilford in July 2015. All of our events are Essex based now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maikeru Posted May 27, 2016 Author Share Posted May 27, 2016 Thanks to those who contributed to the update; have amended list to remove Dropkixx (on their instructions), Climax, BWE and Kapow due to lack of any recent events/scheduled events in the 32 boroughs. Have also upgraded BEW to Tier 4 due to increased attendance and star power at latest show. Â Also added Megaslam due to upcoming June show in Croydon. Â Please do let me know if you have any suggested additions/amendments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Catfish Jake Posted July 24, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted July 24, 2016 I believe it was actually Lucha Libre World (under the banner of "The Greatest Spectacle of Lucha Libre") who ran York Hall on the 1st and 2nd of July, not Lucha Britannia (although there were some Lucha Britannia guys on the undercard).
