wrestle-zone Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I am taking bets that this show will not go ahead... 1/4 on anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Surf Digby Posted January 7, 2007 Paid Members Share Posted January 7, 2007 Look at it this way. Alex Shane (the former, disgraced OPWO Champion) couldn't fill the Skydome when he had Mick Foley, Sandman and Kenta Kobashi. How is Sprules, who once drew 10 people to a show in Blackpool during the school holidays, going to come anywhere close? I first started working on this in May last year, learning about the business world, consolidating my mistakes in the wrestling world and putting it all to good use. I worked hard and I found myself an investor because I wanted to do this right and all above board.Where was this learning from? Didn't you think it better to concentrate on your criminology degree, or whatever it was you were doing?Anarchy Pro Wrestling debuts on June 16, 2007 at the Coventry SkyDome and has PPW Super Heavyweight champion Joe E. LegendThe last time Joe wrestled at the Skydome, he was in a rather unspectacular mid-card match. He won't draw anywhere near the numbers you need, unless you Pritt Stick a naked Trish Stratus to him.One thing regarding you using an alias for booking wrestlers. Was this because of your reputation as a poor wrestler, a poor promoter, or for not paying your workers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkDallas Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 (edited) Will the guys that are owed money be getting payed before this show takes place?Seem only fair since youve got money sorted now.

Paid Members DJ Kris Posted January 7, 2007 Paid Members Share Posted January 7, 2007 Sorry Kriss, but if you think you're gonna run the Sky Dome then no, you haven't learned from your mistakes, not at all. Everyone knows I'm usually the first to look for the positives, especially with British Wrestling, but I'm gonna say right now, that this show will either not go ahead or will fail on almost every level. I challenge anyone to give a good solid reason as to why I am most likely wrong.Sorry Kriss, but until you can draw good crowds to smaller venues you have no business running somewhere like that. You'll do your rep no good and you'll do British wrestling no good. I hope I'm wrong, but I seriously doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Psygnosis Posted January 7, 2007 Author Paid Members Share Posted January 7, 2007 you'll do British wrestling no goodThat good is running on empty itself, and with Sprules not learning a bloody thing from his last stint, pfft.

In fact I'd say we're in a much better position now than we were a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few bad patches shouldn't represent British wrestling when there is a LOT of good stuff out there. It's just that people pick up on clusterfuck idea's like this one and it gets more attention than the good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majik Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 It'll be interesting to see where Kriss gets the 12k rental from. I'll state it on here though, if Ronin, Dragon and all the others who are owed money aren't paid before I see the first advert, I'll be dropping by the SkyDome to see my friend Jon to stir up an enormous amount of shit. At least I'm honest.Majik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least I'm honest. Every single piece of talent that appeared for OPWO was paid.That statement was made yesterday. It seems someone is in denial (hint; it aint Majik).I don't want to jump on a hate bandwagon, but it seems foolish to try and clense yourself with all new bullshit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members DJ Kris Posted January 7, 2007 Paid Members Share Posted January 7, 2007 The problem is Kriss, this show absolutely can work, but what experience do you have in successfully running a show? To my knowledge, none, and this is where your problem lies. It's good that you've made the effort to seek advice, etc, but just having people on side is no replacement for experience. Here's a peice of good advice, it's old but it's true, learn to walk before you start running.If I had been you I would have run several small local shows through 2007, all advertised locally (forget the internet) and if they all worked out well, then I'd look at this idea in 2008 when I could say never mind the mistakes from the past, I'm moved on and I've proved it over the last year. Even then a venture like this would be very challenging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
