Alright guys...I have a proposal.

[BigDaddyCool]

We need to buy TNA and make it watchable. I'm sure even Alienoid's booking would be better than current TNA booking. Seriously, anything would be better. We could possibly even step away from crappy cluster fuck matches that solve nothing.

[Innovator]

I have a couple grand and a diet coke, I think that could do it

[BigDaddyCool]

I have a couple grand and a diet coke, I think that could do it

That is enough for Joe's McDonald's tab.

[Innovator]

Yeah, it wouldn't even cover Kurt's roid habits

[Chavo Classic]

Buy CZW instead. We'll have change from a nickel.

And Ooh don't poo-poo a nickel, guys. A nickel will buy you a steak and kidney pie, a cup of coffee, a slice of cheesecake and a newsreel, with enough change left over to ride the trolley from Battery Park to the polo grounds.

[TerranRich]

I got $143. Can we at least buy Karen Angle? :naughty:

[Innovator]

I got $143. Can we at least buy Karen Angle? :naughty:
If those are all singles, we got a chance

[Rob]

I wouldn't waste £5 on TNA.

[Fox]

I think you mean "PROposal," BDC.

And this is all for naught anyways. Why not just use a fraction of that money to hire a hitman to assasinate Jeff Jarrett and Vince Russo? Then we'll use the rest for beer cause it will most definitely be party time.

[Kane Knight]

Maybe we should just buy our own promotion.

It'd be faster, cheaper, and we wouldn't have to waste time firing Joe, the writers, and Jeff Jarrett.

[Londoner]

I like that idea.

:y:

Yeh I'm with this plan. There is going to be WAY too much clean up with TNA, we'd be better off starting from scratch.

[LoDownM]

If we buy TNA i'm just gonna kidnap Velvet Sky and disappear.

[Dave Youell]

Can I be X Division champ when it's bought?

[BigDaddyCool]

Can I be X Division champ when it's bought?

Sure...who is current x-division champion?

[Innovator]

Either the Blackcho Man or the Mime following the Dudleyz

[JT]

Maybe we should just buy our own promotion.

It'd be faster, cheaper, and we wouldn't have to waste time firing Joe, the writers, and Jeff Jarrett.

You know, I realize your joking...but I'm willing to give this some serious thought if other around here are willing to. :y:

[Kane Knight]

It wasn't so much a joke as an Ät least this would be more practical" comment.

[NeanderCarl]

The People's Wrestling Federation

TPWF

I like it.

I want the colour commentator gig.

[Londoner]

TPWF! TPWF! TPWF!

yeah sounds good.

[NeanderCarl]

The chants would not doubt be abbreviated to "TPDub! TPDub! TPDub!"

[Londoner]

Yeah, was thinking that.

[NeanderCarl]

Although I hate "promotion marks" who chant the name of the company. If I were a promoter, I'd rather them chant the names of the guys in the ring... show they're actually paying attention and emotionally invested in the match, not just pushing an agenda. Although the company should be bigger than the sum of its parts, it is the names on the card that should, when established, be drawing the house... not simply the name of the promotion. Not unless you're still sipping on ECW kool-aid.

[FourFifty]

I got $143. Can we at least buy Karen Angle? :naughty:

I'd be good with just renting her.

[Kane Knight]

The People's Wrestling Federation

TPWF

I like it.

I want the colour commentator gig.:rant::rant::rant:

[NeanderCarl]

What would the TV show be called?

How bout "TPWF MAKE IT or BREAK IT" as the flagship PPV, the most INNOVATIVE event where anything but a great performance would be UNACCEPTABLE.

[NeanderCarl]

:rant::rant::rant:

Hmmmph, I called it!

As a concession, how bout a three man team? But I'm on heel duty!

What's Schiavone up to nowadays?

[Kane Knight]

Nah. I can do play by play and introduce useless facts into the show.

[Londoner]

Ill book the show itsself, and it would no doubt overtake raw in the ratings.

[NeanderCarl]

What a start.

TPWF already has an announce team, of Kane Knight on play-by-play and NeoC on color... a writing team of TL and Alienoid... and we can rent Karen Angle.

Lads... we got a show!

[KYR]

Hmmmph, I called it!

As a concession, how bout a three man team? But I'm on heel duty!

What's Schiavone up to nowadays?

Dibs on the third spot. However, would have preferred to be in the heel seat. Otherwise, I'll take the Heel GM role.

[NeanderCarl]

Maybe we can hire Triple A to run TPWF.com.... and Matt Boone as a reporter.

[NeanderCarl]

Sorry, did I say "reporter"? I meant "cunt".

[NeanderCarl]

We need Divas... applicants should state their interest on this thread, accompanied by provocative photos. :D

[NeanderCarl]

Better not install Alienoid as head booker though... I'm not convinced Doug Basham is the guy to build the TPWF around :lol:

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I'm in...at only 5'7" and like 170 lbs I call first dibs at the Cruiserweight/X Title</font>

[NeanderCarl]

See....? I'm already preparing for my colour commentator role by speaking in soundbites!

Or readbites, if you will.

[NeanderCarl]

I used to spend a lot of time in Leicester... hmm, I don't think nobility is the way to go :lol:

No offence.

[Londoner]

Carl im headbooker so no worries there. ;)

[NeanderCarl]

Carl im headbooker so no worries there. ;)

You keep that 'Noid in line, you hear me!?

Else he'll be TPWF's answer to Vince Russo.

[Mike the Metal Ed]

I used to spend a lot of time in Leicester... hmm, I don't think nobility is the way to go :lol:

No offence.

I'm from LeicesterSHIRE, the county folk talk more proper. :cool:

[Londoner]

No problem, Basham(and any other bizarre wrestlers alienoid comes up with) aint getting near any title with me around!!!

[NeanderCarl]

Come up with lots of daft gimmicks I can make fun of, a la Bobby Heenan

[Londoner]

Lets hire matt boone and make a daft gimmick for him.

[Kane Knight]

No problem, Basham(and any other bizarre wrestlers alienoid comes up with) aint getting near any title with me around!!!

I dunno. The Bashams as tag team champs isn't bad.

[Kane Knight]

Lets hire matt boone and make a daft gimmick for him.

I'm going to feed him false information!

[KYR]

Lets hire matt boone and continue his daft gimmick for him.

Was mainly referring to singles titles. :cool: Though even as tag champs they bored me, they were only entertaining as heymans security. *writes down idea*

BOBBY KNIGHT WILL SAVE_TNA

[JT]

Well again, if anyone is serious, I'll take it serious....seriously. :)

Anyway, here is a few things needed to be considered in a budget...

<strong>EXPENSES:</strong>

Wrestling Ring (prices from HighSpot.com):
16' Rings - $4,000
18' Rings - $4,500
6-Sided Ring - $7,500 (don't want it, but think it's funny it's more expensive and sucks)

Location:
Hall- I tend to notice them go for $500-$3000
Arena (at least a small one)- I don't know...guessing rental is $10,000 at the lowest

...this is also on top of licences and permits needed to hold said wrestling event. I'm looking for a wrestling friend to give me some info on the prices, but I'm taking a rough guess at $50-$100 each right now (don't know how off I am).

Talent:
I know some of you boys are wrestlers, so you have to fill in the blanks here. I'm guessing wrestlers will cost from $5-$1000 (depending on status). As for the rest of you, I expect you'll, I don't know how much it would be for regular pay.

Equipment:
No fireworks or etc. If we want cameras though, I'd say we'd either pull our resources together. Editting, Dubbing, etc is no problem.Neither is graphics.

Belts:
Plastic Replica: $12
Official Replica: $200-$400
CustomL $700-$1500

Advertising:
TV: Don't know...guessing between $100-$200 for one spot on cable.
Radio: Not a clue...I say we just get CanadianCrippla to give a guy a blowjob in exchange for airtime.
Flyers: Almost any business around here seems to help advertise wrestling events. I'm guessing businesses are just happy to help. Though might be being paid as well.


<strong>PROFIT:</strong>

Depends on what we make money on. Most likely most revenue would come from attendence at events. Depending on how much we charge (estimating between $12-$25), a full attendence can bring in between $2,500 and and $10,000 (this is thinking small scall though, could be bigger depending on size and hype of event.

---------------------------

Don't take my figures too seriously though, as I looked up some, others were guesses and estimates. Some numbers could be much lower or much higher than I stated.

I would say, in all seriousness...it is to an extent possible to REALLY throw on a show. Though it would probably be a smart move as a small scale, or at least have it a one time thing where we can hold an event 1 Day or 3 Days, and have a tournament than a yearly promotion.

Also we would need to raise the funds in order to create such an event, decided on a leader, and decide on a location of said promotion (seeing as the people of these forums live in different continents, much less different countires). However, this is just me giving some real input on the subject...it all depends on how you guys really feel about it.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I'd be best as a commentator, either play-by-play or colour as a sleazy heel who takes the heel side. I also would not make a bad manager or even a referee. I could also write the shows, because believe it or not I'm not all for putting the top title on Doug Basham. Original misconceptions that became taken as lore after a while.

Also, a promotion run by TPWW would fail badly. My observations on most guys around here is that while they are not idiots, they think they are smarter than they actually are, and can't see past their own image of the company. BDC would want some useless hoss at the top, KK would skip over a lot of possible talent because he personally sees nothing in them, etc. I cannot think of enough open minded people on here that could justify a joint-run promotion.

[El Fangel]

This sounds awesome

*Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap*

[El Fangel]

I would seriously want to be a writer, for the show.

[Destor]

The company would be built around me obviously.

[El Fangel]

Oh totally, you and the other dudes on here who wrestle would definatly be HHH ish to the new feddie.

[El Fangel]

Dibs on burying Jarrett in jobber hell.

[Destor]

I vote Noid into a booking position, but all of his ideas must go through a rigorous clearance process.

[El Fangel]

You know he will cry when you reject the Val Venis overlord storyline right?

[Mercury Bullet]

Boone should be the backstage reporter and at totally random moments throughout the show it would just cut to him. He would then spew out a bogus headline and then it would cut right back to where we left off.

[Mercury Bullet]

I vote Noid into a booking position, but all of his ideas must go through a rigorous clearance process.

Like how TNA currently reigns-in Russo? I could see the fans complaining and chanting "Noid Sucks" or "Fire Noid" and then we can hold a press conference and be like, "But Alienoid isn't even writing this!". :shifty:

[FourFifty]

I wanna be in charge of the fucking cotton candy!



That was funny when the 4 year old said it at my work today.

[El Fangel]

Oh shit, I want to ring the bell and be in on a screwjob.

Put Jarret over Des for the Championship

ITS STILL FAKE TO ME DAMMIT

[TerranRich]

You fucks. I came up with "TPWF" like 3 years ago. Only it was a Smackdown vs. RAW online tournament thingie.

In the UK, you don't need to have a permit so to speak, but you must carry public liability insurance to cover any mishaps

For a UK wrestling company over a year you are looking at around £450 ($900)

Probably different in the US

[El Fangel]

Jesus, what happened in here.
