janb Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Luke might be off to the PC soon (question 4 here https://thebritishwrestlingrevival.wordpress.com/2018/02/01/interview-luke-menzies/ ...he's booked for Tidal April 29th which was described as possibly his last shot in that company before he goes) so I'm guessing 5 Star wouldn't be approved for him (unless it helps with that visa application!).

Paid Members BomberPat Posted March 19, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted March 19, 2018 Saying "the last couple of shows were crap, let's start over" would be far worse than them just ploughing on regardless and trying to improve organically. And considering Zack's character was one who "pushed the envelope" and called out the promotion and its owners on their business practices, he's probably the easiest character in the world to write out. If a promotion requires a reboot because one wrestler has left, they have far bigger problems to concern themselves with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidzero Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 With the bad ratings and a few bad shows I think now would be a good time to start afresh and they are doing that by booking Matt riddle..etc I like and enjoy 5 🌟 they have some good talent and for the most part I look forward to watching after work on a Thursday I just want them to do well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted March 19, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted March 19, 2018 Start afresh? It’s been a couple of months! You can’t just start afresh because things haven’t perfectly aligned. Imagine Coronation Street or Hollyoaks rebooting every time a cast member leaves. Jesus Christ.

Tim R-T-C Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 And this is why people were wary about their 'business model'. Lots of folks were very quick to say "look at the contrast between smiling kids faces and complainers on Twitter/forums, they might not be to everyone's taste but they are hardly harming British Wrestling", but it was obvious to anyone looking on that a tiny channel TV deal and small crowds would not pay for massive arenas and big money talent and now, once again, hundreds of people's experience with British wrestling is cancelled shows and possibly lost money.

WyattSheepMask Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 So how many shows was that? 4? Tried running before they could crawl and should never have been anywhere near running arenas the size they were. Unless you're WWE, your just not going to draw that sort of crowd. I know Progress are running Wembly Arena (I've got tickets myself), but even they arn't not setting up to fill every seat that it holds and they've got an established loyal fanbase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
