Board 8 > All-Purpose Wrestling Topic 419: Global Force Total Nonstop Impact Wrestling

(+) Yeah! (+)

It's kind of amazing, to see how Gabe gets all this praise for how he built up the WWN and got all these positive deals in the first place, attracting great talent only for all this to come out.

Meanwhile, the guy who built up the sleaziest promotion in Japan, has just flipped it to an entity that looks a lil more stable in a deal that gives everyone what they want.

I just don't know why US promoters are so addicted to the carny way. Japanese promoters always fuck up their deals, but it's usually cos they don't know how to sell their product. North American promoters just keep trying to reel in a mark to swindle.

Puro stems from Yakuza, not carnies. That's why!

Oh god now I want an alternative history where the Gold Dust Trio were from the mafia instead of the carnivals

Interesting factoids about Heenan from the Observer obit:

Heenan said the best match he ever saw was Angle vs Michaels, which to me is interesting coming from an old-school guy.

Dave decided to for no reason rank the most valuable performers in AWA history just to see where Heenan would rank even just as a manager

He ended up with

1.) Hogan
2.) Crusher
3.) Mad Dog Vachon
4.) Bockwinkel
5.) Gagne
6.) Heenan

Dave on IMPACT wrestling's new home arena starting with BFG:

The Aberdeen Pavilion isn’t really an arena. It’s a building that usually houses trade fairs, wine shows and senior citizen breakfasts and such. They are going to have to build something for the tapings because the building has no dressing rooms and few bathrooms.

Lovely

when it comes to wrestling, why does it always seem like investors do not know what they are getting into? They invest first, then get shocked when it quickly loses money. I feel like these people shouldnt be investors in the first place for anything.

because wrestling promoters are carnies and carnies are great at swindling people out of money

it's just more modern now
