If anyone cares....1PW have gone bust

[Dave Youell]

Aparently the show on next weekend is cancelled (it was meant to have Muta on it)

1UP Games have also gone bust, aparently if you booked tickets via the box office you can get a refund no probs, but getting cash directly from Steve Gauntley could be harder.

Personally I don't care, I thought the company was run like shite, the booking was all over the shop and the shows always overan, but at least they gave the UK a chance to see loads of US indies, the main reason I hate them is because they had Tanaka Vs Joe and they finished it in less than 5 minutes due to a count out, I was sooo pissed off at that.

So yeah, doubt anyone in the US cares, but there you go.

Shit. Weren't they supposed to be merging with IPW:UK anyway though?

[NeanderCarl]

Ah no, that's the FWA.

This is a blow to UK wrestling alright, but then fuck them, they never came down my way anyway.

saw my first ever match in 1PW, four way; Charlie Haas VS Smoa Joe VS Christopher Daniels VS AJ Styles, good match

who?

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Your typical indy star-obsessed indy, only in the UK for a change. Overpaid ridiculously for talent, ranted against anyone who didn't completely support them, had money issues for at least the last 6 months but continued to act as if everything was fine.

It's 0 loss to the UK wrestling scene. As an example, Muta was indeed meant to appear next weekend, but 1PW's payment for his travel bounced, so Kikutaro (who acted as an intermediary for the booking and so had his ass on the line from AJPW's perspective) paid $9000 to arrange things. Now the thing has been cancelled :-\

Is NO ONE learning the lessons of WCW? :(

Aparently RQW are going to use Muta now on the same date. RQW will be bust by the end of the year, as they spend even more money, but they focus on the production values more.
