But in your original post you just referred to the use of imports which although carrying an element of risk, is a tried and tested method of successful promotion throughout the western world.  Tried and tested, but doesn't work anymore it seems judging by the amount of tickets they've sold...........  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted January 7, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 7, 2018 I'm surprised they haven't been Cease & Desisted for their promoting him as John Morrison. I didn't think he was allowed to go by that name nowadays. If he is, then it showed how much WWE valued the intellectual property. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Johnny 5 Star has a ring to it, his gimmick would be dedicating all his matches to Dave Meltzer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armitage Shanks Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Aren't some of the trademarks only for a set period of time? Hence them having to reapply for XFL recently? Its problematic for wrestlers initially having to come up with a new ring name, but surely Johnny Morrison must have been left for 5 years plus? So I'm guessing there it too bothered now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members mim731 Posted January 8, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 8, 2018 RVD, Mysterio, Morrison, Chavo or Lashley I would imagine. I can't think of anyone of note other than those guys who would be likely to attach themselves to this shit show. Have they at least stopped pretending they have CM Punk coming in?

Paid Members BomberPat Posted January 8, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 8, 2018 Genuinely astonished that anyone is agreeing to work these shows. Can only assume they're hooking imports who don't know the reputation, as I can't see any of the UK talent that were burned first time around being prepared to take the risk this time, dodgy TV deal or not.

Paid Members BigJag Posted January 8, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 8, 2018 The Giants Live twitter account has been promoting 5 Star a bit. For those that don't know. Giants Live is a Strongman event. It serves as a qualification series for WSM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
