Mack to defend at ROH

I will ignore your silliness and sarcasm. It's simply the rantings of a person with little significance. I don't insult people on this Board. Most of it is self-inflicted. And I don't have all the answers- neither do you.

Your conclusion that I insult the wrestlers is just plain stupid. Show me where? You can't because your statement is not rooted in truth. That I or anyone states wrestlers take paydays wherever they are offered (with rare exceptions) is accurate. Unless it's WWE, etc., anyone with more than five minutes of experience seasoned with a pinch of maturity can see pro wrestling for what it is - - and that does not mean promoters are crooks (well, a few are). It is just pure reality that most wrestling promotions are fly-by-night, gypsy endeavors. Few, if any wrestling companies provide their "owners" with a livelihood. 

Does any of that mean a wrestler, etc., cannot enjoy what it is - certainly not. I just shake my head in disbelief when people forget the essence of this business always has been slight-of-hand. The real angles don't just happen in front of a crowd. Most take place in the so-called "office."

"Hate"? You don't know the meaning of the word; proven by the absurd melodramatic way you use it in yet another failed attempt to put yourself over. "Do us a favor"? Who anointed you spokesperson for "us"? I restate that my opinions are my own and I will post them whenever I choose. I know who I am and, unlike many, don't live a gimmick. Do you?

You're correct on one thing. I don't know who you are and could truly care less. What I do know is that you have proven yourself incapable of engaging in civilized discussion or debate. 

Here's one business lesson (no charge). A "brand" is built on uniqueness. If you like a Big Mac (not Rodney) you have to go to McDonald's. If McDonald's allows it products to be sold at any corner store why would anyone short of a mad hatter buy one of their franchises? It's called exclusivity.

The nucleus of promoting wrestling - when companies made money (outside WWE, ROH, etc.) was to build talent. Real promoters didn't build talent because they were philanthropists. They did it to attract paying customers when they used that talent strategically. Then, they made 100% certain that the talent could only be seen on their proprietary shows - - that's why many gimmicks are copyrighted and the talent cannot use them if they leave the company that owns them. You set up angles - grew them and blew them off when attendance told you they were no longer drawing enough patrons to keep your company in the black. All-the-while protecting your investment by making certain no one else could benefit from it.

The Corgan strategy (thus far) does not speak to that reality. He has the money (or so it would seem). Online videos and watching your standard bearers on other companies' shows - - what do they do for revenue? Nothing. NJPW - Madison Square Garden after that hallowed hall had an almost 60-year exclusivity agreement with The McMahons of two generations? Very interesting - MSG only seats about 22,000 when configured for wrestling. Has to be a business reason the WWE let it go.

These are core business principles. If you see different, then speak up with facts and can the rhetoric. If you want a different thread - start one. Just manifest enough maturity to stick to issues and not make sophomoric jibes and conclusions. They don't speak well of you.

I'll close my final response to this thread with a reprise of something on of my closest friends in this industry said before he stopped posting on this Board. He used the term "Fanboy." I never really knew what that meant - - until now.
