----I did this one time last year and got a good response. I had a lot of things I wanted to comment on and really did not have much structure. So here goes......
Thumbs Up
----TIWF – for drawing good crowds. It seems like they have either the best or second best crowd every week. The only other promotion that is coming close is ASWF. Trenton is starving for wrestling and TIWF is giving them what they want.
Thumbs Down
----RWA – Mainly to Frank Martin for his changing of storylines and such without telling everyone involved in the angle. Mr. Martin is a lucky man – lucky that Ali didn’t kill him!!
Thumbs Up
----WWE – for the handling of Ric Flair’s retirement. They sent him off with a great HOF ceremony and the Michaels match. RAW was pretty cool also. It’s doesn’t matter if he lost or won – he knows it is a work. LOL
Thumbs Down
----WWE – for generally just putting together boring TV. Nothing excites me about what they are doing.
Thumbs Up
----Gene Jackson and Trent Van Drisse for giving us some interesting radio shows. Take a moment to listen to Randy Hales, Faron Fox, Scott Bowden and Mike Promo. These shows give you an insight into indy wrestling – the good and the bad.
Thumbs Down
----Trent Van Drisse for his interview with Scott Barry. It was as if Drisse can not let anything go when it comes to Barry. I had to agree with Barry when he said that no matter what explanation he gives, TVD can not accept it.
Thumbs Up
----Local promotions – for still trying to give good shows and something as an alternative to Memphis Wrestling. The live TV show has left a void for this site and the fans in this area. Two groups trying to promote Memphis; helps give the fans a place to go see Memphis Wrestling in some form.
Thumbs Down
---- Memphis Wrestling – for continuing to have the stupid reruns and not even trying to give the fans something new. Corey Maclin sits behind his desk collecting advertising money and cares nothing about what the fans want to see. He spends 10 minutes a week to promote 4 year old shows. Why not showcase some of the area shows or local talent?? Ratings are the proof – no one wants to watch this shit!!
Thumbs Up
----ASWF – for good crowds and having good storylines leading up to their Anniversary show. They have positioned Austin Lane vs Lawler and just this past weekend put Chuck Fears over as their champion to set up a “Fatal Four Way”.
Thumbs Down
----ASWF – for using RWA’s building to promote their show. What?? Yes, a youtube.com video was sent along to promote their upcoming Anniversary show featured the inside of the RWA arena. They showed a clip of a dark arena with lights bouncing around - come see the Anniversary show at the RWA arena. LOL RWA owner Frank Martin had this to say, “I would like to thank the ASWF for showing the wrestling fans that we here at the Royal Wrestling Alliance have the best lights and ring. However since the footage is of the RWA I have asked them to take it off and they did. Again thank you ASWF for promoting the RWA.” I have to agree with him on that one.
