It was really bizarre, previously he got the biggest pops especially in his match against Kurt Angle where I would even say he got a bigger reaction. This is such a bad choice. I like Galloway but it feels like he just came in and won the title right when Hendry was culminating his slow build to the title.

And Hendry is so far and away the most entertaining person they have. I mean I like Drew but Hendry is so much better suited to bring a top guy, at least for Not WWE.

I hear that they're making the joke that the New Zealand guy who kinda looks like Doug William might be his illegitimate child into an actual storyline. Booking and pacing a show, learning what people want, how much talking and character work to fit around matches, and how much to cram in the what culture crew of awkward nerds would be a hard task. I think a lot of people on the internet think it's easier to book a wrestling show than it is. And that Whatculture are just that type of people on the internet.

I wanted to like the Prestige, but then they took a super charismatic natural baby face and had him cut a you people promo for like 15 minutes. Galloway vs Osprey was pretty drat good though.

Heel Hendry only really worked when he was a clean cut handsome guy who was going to take all the violence and swear words out of ICW. I'm just amazed that WCPW put together a team of four fan favorite wrestlers from the U.K. scene and wants me to boo them because they hate lovely import usage.

Sounds like there's the pressing need for a YouTube channel about how WCPW could have booked things better.

It's a shame to hear about the booking being bad. I liked Blampied's fantasy booking videos, but I guess it's easier to make a better story in hindsight, and assuming that everyone involved in the story is willing to go along with what you say. I'm pretty sure they wrote something on how booking is harder when you actually have to do it but I can't find it with a quick search so I dunno. Is the wrestling worth watching Loaded on a weekly basis, or should I just pop in during a PPV or something?

I saw the event they did in Orlando. Never have I seen a pro wrestling org need subtitles on their videos because the audio was loving awful in the venue. I do like watching this every now and then though. Edit - Their Pro Wrestling World Cup stuff is also a pretty cool concept. Mekchu fucked around with this message at 18:30 on Apr 26, 2017 |

Yeah the changes to YouTube's advertising algorithms really hosed them, so much so that they had to cancel the weekly "Loaded" shows https://youtu.be/Hd8KH86VXUY Basically, wrestling is considered Adult Content, and a lot of advertisers opt out of that category.

Most recent event uploaded (Fight Back) used a logo similar to Youtube's logo. They got a strike on their account for it ("violating Youtube's policy on spam and deceptive practices") and received a message saying their live stream ability has been revoked

How the hell is that a "spam or deceptive practice". Because the logo is a red square and a white square? Sheesh.
