Yes hello it is I Kurt's Secret Son


Sick flyers bro. Unfortunately to make the show match them, your three stages of hell now have to be a Biker Chain match, an Inferno match, and a Cactus Jack impersonation contest.

I'd like to meet the priest at the church that rented out their space for this.

They've been running shows there for almost a year, it's in a nice gym with heating /AC and good seats and bleachers. I hope they don't get the boot.

Almost all of the wrestlers try not drop F Bombs, except for Eddie Kingston who doesn't tone down his schtick even a little. Every other word is gently caress, and he's mocked Ethan Page by doing a Christ pose. In front of a mural of a pope. If they ever do get kicked out, I'll be shocked if it isn't because someone from the church wandered in and caught a nice earful of Kingston.

They kind of toned down the wrestling too. They don't do nearly as much hardcore as they used.

What happened to that Turner Hall building they used to run? I was there once and it certainly struck me as the sort of place where no one would give a gently caress what you do there.

Also, that's kinda funny about Kingston since despite his schtick in other promotions he's a long time Chikara guy so it's not like he has trouble keeping it cleanish when necessary.

Over the years, the membership to the local Turners club or association dwindled. They couldn't afford to keep the lights on in the building. AIW tried to get people to join the Turners association but you needed more than just members to keep it going. Last show there was Hell on Earth about this time last year. By then, the heat had already been shut off and it was cold as hell.

EDIT: I do like Eddie's schtick in AIW. It makes him different from everyone else. Last show was great when his manager, the Duke, got his rear end beat by Terry Funk.

I've seen Kingston at a few chikara shows in the past and he definitely dropped a few mother fuckers and similar while brawling if not while promoing

Hit hard like brass knuckles
See your face through the turnbuckle dude

One huge gaping hole I'm seeing in your marketing plan is that you're doing absolutely no database / email marketing. It's the cheapest outlet there is and in many cases the most cost-effective; I have clients earning a 40:1 ROI and even higher. (One is at 115:1, but he does email marketing so goddamn well that he's an outlier.)

Get a MailChimp account (it's free for sending to up to 1,000 addresses) and make it as easy as humanly possible for people to give you their email address: Pop-up on your website, an opt-in widget on Facebook, a Twitter lead generation card, fishbowls at the events for business cards / opt-in slips. Run a regular newsletter and use it to let people know when you're holding events. As your database grows, so will your attendance.

This is true enough for me. The only times I go to local wrestling shows are when Smash emails me with upcoming events or I see some updates on Facebook.

Maybe they flyered so hard they had to sell their internet access.

Geez.
