How much does it cost to start a wrestling promotion?
 
Seriously, someone find that out for me, and then help me raise the money and then I'll start a wrestling promotion that doesn't suck for once.

Stickman 10-05-2007 02:32 PM

You're hte accountant.

Kane Knight 10-05-2007 02:36 PM

Lots.

BigDaddyCool 10-05-2007 02:36 PM

OMG, accountants just record what has already been spent. I'm not in purchasing.

Xero 10-05-2007 02:39 PM

Depends on if you want professionals or yard tards.

Of course, you get the best of both worlds with Greg Valentine.

If you book Valentine/Dennis Stamp I'd be all over that shit. :y:

Stickman 10-05-2007 02:43 PM

Do you want name wrestlers or randoms? Randoms would probably wrestle for near free names would want money.

I'm sure you could find a ring for cheap and rent a warehouse or something for cheap. You'd need licensing and shit to actually put on a show but it can't be terribly expensive but you'd want some cash in your pockets.

Xero 10-05-2007 02:45 PM

My guess, if you want professionals (not necessarily name guys) you could probably pull off a decently produced show for a few thousand, everything included.

BigDaddyCool 10-05-2007 03:01 PM

Interesting, and you idiots...I mean dudes are willing to give me some start up money? You will be investers of course. You will own nothing but get some interest back or something.

BigDaddyCool 10-05-2007 03:04 PM

Ok, I want to get something started that would be somewhere near RoH level, only you know, good.

Stickman 10-05-2007 03:13 PM

I'll be a silent owner. I'll put no money up but will be receiving a paycheque after every show.

Better yet, I'll punch you in the teeth as a show. And you can pay me for the privilage.

LOL. Cue WWKD spazzing like a motherfucker.

St. Jimmy 10-05-2007 03:32 PM

It only cost 3-4 mil to buy WCW.

BigDaddyCool 10-05-2007 03:32 PM

Yeah, while I have still never seen any RoH, I know it sucks because he never delievered the promised dvds to me. Thus making me think that he is embrased.

Xero 10-05-2007 04:16 PM

Kick Mike Jones in the balls, $5!

Kane Knight 10-05-2007 04:26 PM

So how much is it gonna cost me to buy in?

You can donate whatever you want. I'm not offering equity though.

BigDaddyCool 10-05-2007 05:14 PM

Also what should I call it? Here are some names I've been kicking around:

American Championship Wrestling or North American Championship Wrestling
International Jew Championship Fighting
Inter-Racical Fighting Matches 6000
The Kevin Nash Tribute Wrestling Federation

I could call it North American Wrestling, or NAW. And could make it into a joke, you know people could go around saying they are champ, be all like NAW!!! Yeah, that was gay.

Stickman 10-05-2007 05:22 PM

Homosexual Wrestling Federation. Aim to target gays. I bet there is an audience for it. Kane Knight would watch.

Hmmmmmmmmm, I would need to lure Billy Gunn/Monty Kip away from TNA, find Lenny and Lody, maybe get Pat Patterson to do commentary, get ToVo in ring shape...Oh, and where is Kayon? Then just wait for WWE to drop Chuck Palumbo when he doesn't work out again. That is a decent start. Plus it would give us a direction.

BigDaddyCool 10-05-2007 05:36 PM

Maybe get Chris Crocker to show up from time to time. But do we make a joke out of it, or do we treat the gays with respect...Hmmmmmmm. Probably just make a joke out it because most gays already do that.

URWF

Ultimate Robot Wrestling Federation

Top feud?


Kane Knight 10-05-2007 06:14 PM

Put a one and two zeroes in front of that, and you got yourself a deal.

Good observation

Outsider 10-05-2007 06:42 PM

I've got about £7.50 in my wallet, which, at a guess, is about $16,000. May need to research the exchange rate though.

It may however be cheaper to wait for Vince to destroy the WWE and then buy the stock on the cheap :y:

Um, they would be the top heels.

Destor 10-06-2007 12:41 AM

It's about 8-10 grand for a quality ring. Add in however much it would cost to rent you local civic center or what have you. And wrestler saleries. Not to mention some random smuck starting a company is going to have one hell of a hard time getting wrestlers to come work for him.

Best of luck.

Cry me a river you impatient bastard, they're coming eventually.

Anyway, I'll probaly send them next week.... I'm trying to figure out if I want to send you my copy, or burn them so I still have a copy myself.

Ah, can't I just get you and ToVo to work for free?

You sound like one of those lawyers that can only do insurance defense, but when they try to do criminal defense or any other type of law, they can't because they have limited themselves to such technicalities and can't adapt to anything that is out of their "field of expertise".

Don't waste your life being a one trick pony, BDC.

OMG, being an accountant is way more than a one trick pony. Accounting includes bookkeeping, tax returns and auditing. I am well versed in 2 of the 3 fields of accounting. Go to hell.
