where did you hear such a thing?

CMLL is not doing well, but this would have about a million different hang ups which would make this nearly impossible.

A business arrangement, similar to how Japanese orgs pair up with lucha orgs, is certainly a possibility. I've said for years that WWE should send talent on excursions like they do in Japan.

Would be a perfect way to keep guys working, but off TV and fresh when they return.

Vince destroyed the territories, but wanted to distance himself so far from them, he forgot that some of the things they did were actually good from a business perspective and quality perspective. Having guys go off to other territories to learn their trade, in front of a different audience, while working on a new gimmick or something was very valuable to talent getting themselves over...its why Vince could hire all of these territory stars and make money off of them nearly immediately. They were already good when they showed up.

Wrestling is Fun cancelled their iPPV tonight because they couldnt get the equipment to the building due to a snow storm.

The show must go on. They drew 13 fans.

Main event is Mr Touchdown vs Fire Ant for the WiF banana (don't ask. the title is a banana).

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

LOLOLOL @ 13 fans and still doing the damn show.

They will receive a crown.

Why wouldn't it be ... that sounds ... Fun

I once attended a show with 6 people in the crowd. Four of them came with me in my car. It was pretty awesome, but i'm thinking a few of the poor guys probably didn't get paid.

I wish there was an indie promotion closer than MCW.

I don't even think there is one in the Milwaukee area.

Chicago is a hotbed. Plenty of lucha, high level indies like AIW, Resistance Pro, etc, and a regular stop for the big east coast guys like ROH, DGUSA, & Chikara. Outside of the NY/NJ/Philly area it's probably the best place to be.

Try living in Texas. Unless you're in Austin, San Antonio, or a border town that has lucha, there is literally NOTHING. Not even low level.

RAW spoiler,

 

Wade Barrett defeated Kofi Kingston to become the new Intercontinental Champion during this week's episode of Monday Night Raw. WWE taped the show tonight, which will air Monday at 8/7c, from the Verizon Center in Washingston DC

It must eat Vince up that both Rock and Austin have other things they are talented at and good enough at that they don't need the WWE.

When they were at Fort Meade before 9-11, we used to get severely discounted tickets, as a family member worked on base. Would love to go again, if you have time to make one let me know.

They had a big show tonight in Dundalk. I missed it. I might drive to Salisbury next Saturday for TNA though. If you're available I can scoop you up before I hit the bridge

It's one of the few Saturdays I'm not working, but it's my dad's birthday that day, and probably the last one he'll be here before he moves, so I can't. Any other time, and I'd be down.

EDIT: TNA's site has that listed on Friday, not Saturday. It's possible I could switch my schedule with someone, so I'll have to let you know.
