I was supposed to got to an ECW Tribute show in North Hollywood tomorrow. Yesterday, the show was canceled by the promoters due to a family emergency.
What do y'all think the real reason is?

having gone back and watched an interminable amount of ECW Hardcore TVs, ECW on TNNs and ECW PPVs, I am still baffled how people are still doing tribute shows. If you hate your money that badly, send it to me, I got kids.

Hardcore Homecoming was narrowly put together and barely drew. the WWECW things did well until WWE insisted on WWEing the gently caress out of it and then it became just another PPV(that aren't PPVs anymore). The TNA tribute was hilariously bad. Even Tommy Dreamer's fed is barely a mention.

$7k upfront of a $15k payday will unretire most ECW legends.Terry Funk is a little higher because he's a grandpa or something.

If you’re the kind of wrestling fan who (a) goes to indie shows and (b) is drawn by Swoggle, dudes trying to look edgy will appeal to you.

did you get a reserved seat? it's kinda pricey ($50+) and most of the reserved seats are gone anyways so I'm thinking of chancing a GA ticket, but it looks like the venue might kinda stuck for GA (memories of Terminal 5 ROH shows...)

I did GA. It's not worth it for me to pay double the price for a seat.

Sucks now that Joey is trying to ship a Shlak redemption story to promoters/indy writers apparently. gently caress this boys in the back culture that allows nazis/rapists into companies/bookings.

There was a rumble of it on that LGBTQ show that wasn't really all that representative. It garnered such a negative response that the show removed all references to Shlak.

Shlak's deal was when ANTIFA was seein off the fash in Oakland, he had to comment on it. He outed himself as being against any type of action against racists, nazis, etc because he's a tattoo artist and has to tattoo whoever. Boo hoo, whatever. He's dumb as gently caress and not worth the trouble of booking him on non-deathmatch shows.

He's tolerable on the deathmatch stuff because there's a higher chance of serious injury. Either he'll gently caress someone up and not apologize properly or he'll get hosed up and have to disappear for a while.

I like Shlak. He's what I wish more wrestlers looked like, a mutant combination of aggression and trenbolone.

He's certainly not lefty internet educated anti-racist, but he has publically repudiated any belief in Nazism or white supremacy and apologized for that ten year old photo of him doing a Sieg Heil with actual skinheads who hired him to do their tattoos. Yeah, he said something like "antifa is just as bad" which is stupid, but hey I can imagine AJ Styles saying the same thing and he's champion of the world and I like his matches too.

The LGBT show had a whole angle for him where he publically worked through his views and improved them, as well, I understand, but that novel piece of booking got thrown out because of the fan demand he be unbooked.

if you want to be booked on a show like that with that kind of history, you should do that poo poo before the loving show

not interested in people turning their actual, real life garbage personal views into angles, even if the point is that they've reformed or whatever, sorry. i prefer to know my money isn't going towards a hateful person before i buy the ticket

yeah, that was the lady that had a history of police harassment had barricaded herself+child in her apartment as the cops attempted to serve a warrant. poo poo got out of hand, she ended up getting shot to death. He said something like "gee she shouldn't have put her kids in harm's way like that." I wished him many concussions for his stupid take. He blocked me.

Indie wrestling social media protip: never comment on something beyond "gee, that sucks" because that poo poo will get turned into ammo against you.
