Find a community center that charges $40 a night and youve got it made,


As far pwg and such they made profit off dvds. The live shows are not profitable at all.


How do those 'name indys' stay alive for that long losing money though?

Is it just a case of a stubborn promoter with more money than sense and not wanting to give up his dream or something. I can see CHIKARA doing big merch sales as they have a lot of gimmicky masked wrestlers and shit, a nd ECW tribute feds like House of Hardcore sells itself to the drunks who lust for blood and deathmatches, but bland stuff like Dragon Gate & Shimmer baffles me.
