So who's a relatively cheap "name"...
 
That I could get to come out for the club I work at. We're going to be showing Survivor Series and I wanna get a wrestler or two to come out. I've already got Tito Santana and Jake Roberts interested. Talked to Tito on the phone and Jake via his Facebook.

I'm thinking Sunny's depressed ass, maybe Road Warrior Animal, Koko B. Ware...

Obviously it would have to be someone not working for WWE or TNA and someone that people would give people incentive to come out for in the price range of about $3,000 (though significantly less would be stellar). So I turn to you for your opinions, TPWW. I'm trying not to work through agencies since it would cost more. I figured someone might have some leads though. It's worth a shot.

Nicky Fives 10-12-2011 09:01 PM

I guarantee Jake will not be sober for the event.....

Skippord 10-12-2011 09:07 PM

Jerry Sags

#1-norm-fan 10-12-2011 09:17 PM

I wasn't counting on a sober Jake. I was counting on "If this is the last night Jake is alive, it would get some publicity."

Not to be a dick. But come on... the man has been on the brink of death for YEARS.

#1-norm-fan 10-12-2011 09:18 PM

Also, Tito Santana wants a flight back that night since he teaches Spanish at a high school and doesn't want to take a sick day. lol

#1-norm-fan 10-12-2011 09:19 PM

I wonder if I should be making this public.

Xero 10-12-2011 09:57 PM

Greg Valentine does backyard shows for blow, so he'd probably come to your event.

Ron Simmons might be cheap. Saw him advertised for a flea market a bit ago.

#1-norm-fan 10-12-2011 10:02 PM

When you say blow... do you mean BLOW?

#1-norm-fan 10-12-2011 10:05 PM

Also, I know Greg Valentine has a habit of being really unreliable and a douche. Hmm

Darkone 10-12-2011 10:10 PM

The best way to "get" cheap names is to offer them blow and rats.

#1-norm-fan 10-12-2011 10:13 PM

I should clarify "cheap". There's a little more budget than blow and rats quality.

Next Big Thing 10-12-2011 10:24 PM

Sunny and Jake = disaster if they even show up.

#1-norm-fan 10-12-2011 10:28 PM

Got an e-mail from someone who handles bookings for some wrestlers saying Paul Bearer and Chyna were unavailable but Maria Kenellis would be a possibility. Sorry for any typos in this post. I'm trying to see the screen over my giant erection.

I really wanted to get Sunny. Then she no showed an event and got all depressed. Damn.

Seth82 10-12-2011 10:36 PM

Ricky Morton is probably cheap

same for Dennis "I'm Not Booked" Stamp

#1-norm-fan 10-12-2011 10:39 PM

If I booked Dennis Stamp, he would be booked. And if he is booked, he is no longer not booked. And if he is not not booked, then he's just plain old booked Dennis Stamp. Thus I could never book Dennis Stamp.

And I don't think Ricky Morton would draw for his asking price. I'm definitely leaning towards Tito Santana and possibly Jake Roberts. I feel like I can do better though.

Ruien 10-12-2011 11:16 PM

These people really work for this cheap?

I would go with Jake, even if he is fucked up who cares? It is at a club, not a wrestling match.

#1-norm-fan 10-12-2011 11:32 PM

They're all a little more expensive than I expected actually. Which is why I'm trying to find some hot tips on who I should try to get and for how much.

Supreme Olajuwon 10-12-2011 11:36 PM

Savio Vega if he's still in the US

or Dennis Knight

She did the same thing with an event I went to last year. Her reason was that her boyfriend was sick. :-\

But why not try Tatanka?

He appeared at an event where I live about two months ago so he's probably cheap. You can also try Virgil as he also appeared at the same event.

They both appeared with Ted DiBiase but all "Million Dollar Man" jokes aside, I think DiBiase will actually cost a good amount of money, but you can always try I guess, but I think you'll have a better chance of getting Tatanka and Virgil.

Supreme Olajuwon 10-12-2011 11:47 PM

Yo whats Barry Darsow doing with his life these days? He's probably broke as shit.

Supreme Olajuwon 10-12-2011 11:47 PM

Or even better get the guy who was Ax. He's even less famous than Smash.

#1-norm-fan 10-12-2011 11:55 PM

Ted DiBiase might be too much. Also, since it's Survivor Series and he works for WWE I assume he'll be at the show. The guy i contacted about some wrestlers including Tito Santana also mentioned Virgil. And The New Age Outlaws. Oddly he didn't say they would be out of my price range. Hmm.

Barry Darsow and Ax probably wouldn't be good enough draws to warrant it. Not more so than Tito at least.

Hanso Amore 10-12-2011 11:57 PM

Wresting Superstar Virgil

Get Vito or Scotty Too Hotty

Lol this is amazing.

Hanso Amore 10-12-2011 11:58 PM

Outlaws would actually be tight. Imagine Road Dogg kicking the door in with the

OH YOU DIDNT KNOW

Fuck Yeah.

What club? PM me, Ill keep the secret. I still have a Top Secret government Clearance for fucks sake!

Supreme Olajuwon 10-13-2011 12:03 AM

Get Rick Martel to come but don't tell Tito. Have them fight at your club.

I literally ran through that exact idea with a friend this morning once Tito said he'd do it. lol

Do they have a real life feud I'm not aware of?

Aguakate 10-13-2011 12:18 AM

You can probably get X-Pac.

I think I can say it. It's Pepperbelly's Comedy Club in Fairfield, CA.

And yes, if we do get the Outlaws, Road Dogg is entering with an "OH YOU DIDN'T KNOW..." and doing the Outlaws introduction on stage.

The issue with guys like that who I know are contracted by WWE even in a minor role is I don't know if they'll be at the show.

X-Pac is contracted by WWE? How?

#1-norm-fan 10-13-2011 12:24 AM

I don't remember his exact title. He signed a contract a few months ago though.

No, it was just a running bit they had after their team broke up where they wouldn't be in the ring at the same time for while, but as soon as they were, they'd start brawling immediately.

St. Jimmy 10-13-2011 12:36 AM

no blow? no show.

Aguakate 10-13-2011 12:36 AM

Have the Iron Sheik over.

FOR THE LULZ.

Skippord 10-13-2011 12:52 AM

Sandman

weather vane 10-13-2011 12:53 AM

Iron Sheik for sure or Honky Tonk Man and Beefcake work pretty cheap.

Maybe try for Piper, Million Dollar Man, Sid, Terry Funk, Raven, Dreamer...

Those are some guys that I have seen out and about that work for cheap.

nah AX aka Bill Eadie had a pretty lengthy career before Demolition.

was best known before Demolition as The Masked Superstar

worked NWA and AWA

Seth82 10-13-2011 01:01 AM

Tommy Rich is probably cheap

weather vane 10-13-2011 01:03 AM

Barry Darsow owns a custom construction helmet company. I think both him and Eadie do pretty well.
