Could JBL Start A Third Company???
I was just reading a few things about JBL, and had a random thought that maybe he would able to start another wrestling company, or possibly back TNA, ROH, etc.
Here's the first article: Quote:

So with all of this, and with the money that he and his wife have, do you think it'd be possible for JBL to start another company? Or do you see him getting together with ROH or TNA? Discuss with the usual sarcastic remarks and whatnot. |

He might just be trying to give back to the industry and keep his name value up.

He could, but probably shouldn't.

I think it would be interesting, but I couldn't see him starting his own promotion that would be any larger than a regional indy (I would love to have an indy fed in the Texas/Oklahoma/Arkansas/Louisiana area).

Not any that have survived longer than months.
There was one based out of Shreveport,LA awhile back that had Cassidy O'Reilly on a local TV station, but they were gone after 4 months (they only did shows in NE Lousiana, which isn't a good business model). Other than that, you'd have to go to Houston for Booker T's promotion and maybe a handful in the Mississippi/Alabama/Georgia area. I believe Percy Pringle (Paul Bearer) helps with on based out of Alabama. |

The 4-States Area of OK/TX/LA/AR is an old school wrestling area, and you could make good money if you got a few "legends' to show up. I remember going to a Jimmy Hart's Legends of Wrestling show and the local fairgrounds were packed. I also got a photo in the ring with Greg "The Hammer" Valentine!

Too bad that he didn't get to have a full complete match with Rey.

I'm not sure if JBL would. He knows how much money and power the WWE has. If he did pick a fight with them, I'm sure he'd be going in armed. With him financially backing OVW, though, I could see their stock going up on the independent scene. With them branching into MMA, he could maybe even get some appearances by wrestling cross-over MMA guys, like Brock Lesnar, Bobby Lashley and Ken Shamrock.
I'd love to see someone start up a massive empire of a company, though. Apparently Mark Cuban has the money to. If he and JBL got behind ROH, then it could turn into something quite extraordinary. |

I don't see JBL ever backing ROH..... not his type of wrestling..... he doesn't seem the type to invest in a product he doesn't believe is the right way of doing something....

umm... yes there IS. Texas has a bunch of promotions. PCW (Professional Championship Wrestling) is based out of Arlington, Tx. XCW pro wrestling is based out of Denton, Tx. Those 2 are the biggest indy feds around here, but there are several others in Marhsall,TX as well as Tyler, TX.... not to forget PWA, Booker T's promotion in Houston,Tx.

When you get technical, there are a few dozen indy feds in every single state.
I think we were more speaking along the lines of a larger promotion, something to the effect of ROH - except based in / running in the south, rather than how ROH is based toward the NE. |
