How the mighty have fallen.....
So, I got off the bus today at my city centre bus station in Plymouth Devon. Which, on a related note is a run down bus station, that is tramp infested as you like.
Now inside this bus station, there is a 'nightclub' called the White Rabbit. The bar specialises in live local rock bands and underage drinking, and tramps. As I walked past, a poster in the window caught my eye, and I had to double take. ![]() So there you go, Lita goes from performing in front of thousands in the states, to performing in front of a few dozen kids in a stinking bus station in Devon. And by the way, there is a cafe next door aptly named 'Tramps Cafe' |

Most bands start from the bottom. I'm sure she knew what she was getting into.

If they were, you know, "good", I'm sure WWE would have helped them get a decent deal and/or use them heavily.
Then again, Vince probably doesn't think anything is "good" except for The Lawrence Welk Show. And ZZ Top. |

Exactly. Pretty different scenario but WWE promoted Fozzy now and again and helped out from what I figure.
This story does not bring me to the same conclusion. |

Fozzy played a little venues around the country a couple of years ago too. I mean yeah, the Luchagors might be a bit shit but they were never gonna be playing the Wembley or M.E.N Arena's when nobody knows who they are

I think she's pretty into punk so I'm assuming she's just doing it because she loves the music. It must be kind of fun to go from wrestling in front of 15 000 + people a night to signing in front of, literally, a couple hundred people (sometimes less).
I don't know if anyone here has heard of Strike Anywhere, but I've seen them quite a bit and they're great live. |

Jesus, they could have at least tried to have played the Cavern in Exeter, the White Rabbit is pretty low. Have heard some atrocious shit when I've gone past there.
For those who don't know, its pretty rare that any major acts come down to Devon because its deemed too "remote", to put into perspective just how suprising this is.... (not saying she's a major act, but I think you get the point) |

Aside from when Fozzy played on Raw, WWE has NEVER promoted the band. They did everything on their own.

Anyway, is it really the mighty falling? I mean, if Undertaker was opening for Doink the Clown at the Windham County fair, yeah, but we're talking about a low-level skank in a skank club.

True, but that being said, if I was performing for the WWE in front of god knows how many, I'd feel pretty mighty. And then to perform in a piss stained bus station, I'd feel like I'd fallen pretty hard.
Just sayin |
