We can't afford hookers.

Destor 10-06-2007 07:47 PM

WHAT WERE YOU PLANNING TO PAY ME WITH? MONEY? You've got a lot of nerve guy...

Destor 10-06-2007 07:47 PM

I'm sure you can get a midget half off.

Dude, I'm from Kansas City, the meth capital of the universe. I was planning on paying you with 3 methlabs.

Destor 10-06-2007 08:00 PM

I think we can work something out.

Thought as much.

I'll work in the promotion. I demand a $85,000 salary with a lot of options and a company car. So, I'm guessing it would cost somewhere around $115,000 to start a promotion...assuming all you need is me...which is actually all you need.

Xero 10-06-2007 09:32 PM

TOVO vs TOVO in a TOVO for TOVO Match!

The One 10-06-2007 09:34 PM

Throw that up on the marquee and it'll sell out faster than WrestleMania.

I'll pay you $11 an hour. You will get a midlevel title shot, and if you want, we can have a beer after the show.

The One 10-06-2007 09:41 PM

How about $9 an hour, no title shot, but after the show I get to sleep with all the hookers and smoke all the meth I want out of Destor's new labs?

BigDaddyCool 10-06-2007 09:45 PM

Um, no hookers. And the meth smoking is something you and Desty are going to have to figure out between yourselves.

The One 10-06-2007 09:48 PM

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa! When did we decide this was a hooker-free wrestling promotion. Good god what am I saying. There has never been and so long as I am alive and breathing there never will be a wrestling promotion that doesn't have hookers. It's a tradition that's more sacred than any other in this industry.

BigDaddyCool 10-06-2007 09:51 PM

Look, I didn't say you could have hookers, I just don't have any for you. Anyhow, I want my worker's vd free. But I do need you to start juicing up.

The One 10-06-2007 09:56 PM

I'm only going to roid to the point that it covers up that I'm tweaking on Destor's stuff.

And I'm still not sold on this hooker-less promotion thing. I think it's more important to have hookers than a ring, and I think the #1 promotion in the world, WWE, would agree with me on that.

BigDaddyCool 10-06-2007 09:59 PM

NO HOOKERS!!!! We will only have sluts. Our budget can't afford hookers, just sluts because they work for free.

The One 10-06-2007 10:04 PM

I'll settle for sluts for the first year, but after that we need to bring in the quality whores.

How about we move up to quality sults, then crappy whore, decent whores, and finally quality whores on a 5 year plan?

The One 10-06-2007 10:10 PM

That will work.

For a starter fed (or anything you could run):

Wrestling Ring: $3000

Rending out a gym or small arena: $500 per hour (includes setup time)

Wrestlers: From free (people just getting into business and making a name) or unholy prices (people who once wrestled on television and think they're hot shit).

Promotion: The amount you place into promotion is up to you, but this is what it will take to get people to the shows. More you place in, the better the turn out.

Then there is other little things like permits to hold events, venders, and any misc that you want for the fed. My estimate is if you want to place some real effort into creating a fulltime promotion...$300,000 probably at the least. A one time or annual show, I can see getting away with $10,000-$40,000.

Booking better than TNA: priceless.
