This has all apparently kicked off a "turf war" though, with the other Dundee promotion (SWE) that operates in Tayside area.

SWE have a show on the same day and time as 5 Star Wrestling with their biggest name on the card being Grado and he's the only big name on the card too. Their location is a small gym hall in a community centre, whereas 5 Star have Kurt Angle & Co. and the location is a 2,300+ multi-purpose ice rink arena.

5 Star's event will also be televised live, while SWE's event is not televised at all.

I have been to SWE events before and being honest, they're pretty shit. They must have a tiny budget as their locations are always small venues and they only seem to attract one big name at a time, however, they always seem to get Ted DiBiase to appear every August.

I really can't see them being able to compete with 5 Star if 5 Star's event next week is a success, which I think it will be. I think 5 Star could possibly kill off SWE sometime in the future.
