FEW--Thanksgiving Review

[oldschool]

This big night of wrestling coming from FEW could of been a great night to showcase the independent wrestling to all the new people to the sport .

It had 264 seats in the building , with only 167 paying people for the night ----YES--a sell out crowd it only looked like when you enter the building for the night . But look at all the free seats that was used by friends & family of this promotion and the wrestlers . I know this does happen at other shows but in a very small building and the expense of paying the names on this show , just how could they make this payroll without going in the hole ?

This is why I'm only a fan !!

Now let's just look at the show !

What was the storylines to come out for the next show ( 1/3/10), it should be a Seven Thorn vs Onyx --Sean Casey vs (c) Skip Raddison to headline this next show .

The break down of some of the match's on the show .

1) Owens vs Hussla = A good match from the veterans to watch with some action to open the night up .

2) Basher vs Brazil = Another match from the old veterans of the ring , but the big problem here for myself , I just have watched this one many times before .

3)--Flash Fanagan vs Onyx = A match that I was very interested to watch , but it was a very poor one to say anything here . Onyx didn't sell anything for Flash (a WWE veteran) and only made him just look so very poor thru out this match , just where is that respect ?
Sorry Onyx , you looked like a backyarder in this one ! A none working guy that someone needs to shoot on for a true match and a wake-up call for yourself . Your not that good !!

4)--Onyx calls out the backroom for some action of talent (yawn) out comes Seven Thorn (good I'm going to get what I want ) but a a true chicken crap as the so called superman (yawns again ) it only leads up to a match sometime down the road again .

Now just who ever wrote this script just blow this all to hell ---it could of set up a match that could of blown the roof off at the show .

5) --Now a tag match , Thorn + ?? vs ??+??= sorry I remember nothing about this one to write about on here . But that the team of Thorn & ?? wins .

6) --Jacobs vs Van Zant = A good match from the talent of both only making each other look good in this one and the crowd is still into the show . Winner Van Zant

Now WE go into intermission = 17 minutes

7) --Jake Roberts & ?? vs Sean Casey & Skip Raddison = A very slow start to the match and little action thru this one to set anything up for the win . But it did end when it had to be started once again to get the team of Jake Roberts to walk out as winners .

8) --The people slowly start the walkout for the night as the seats now open up !
9)--Match that I just can't remember !
10) --Another match I just can't remember again
11) --The Main Event = 30 men battle royal

FEW = you had some talent in this one that I would of liked to have seen in some single match's , but you just used this talent in a very long boring battle royal for the night .
Winner = Sean Casey .


Now if FEW is going to run this building or more shows ---please use the talent in a better form of talent to see wrestling !!
Write the storylines & scripts more to give the people something to see on the shows !!
Stop working friends & work the talent of others to put together a show that will focal more on the points of storylines to tell in every match . Give the fans more to see in a match then a squash one for your friends to win , make your organization something to see . (knitpicking here --yes) For you do have a good building to use and the optimism to run another show each month to see in Indianapolis area for the wrestling fans to watch . You did have 160 paying people to this one and if you put your thoughts together here it could make money in the end for the company .

Now for the show = it was a good one to start out with but it could only get better in the next to get people back to the building ----FEW is just going to have to step it up alot to make things work out if it's going to run more in 2010 .

GOOD LUCK ---FEW !!

see you on the 3rd . ----will it be the last ??--or can you get me back ??

OLD SCHOOL

[kincaid]

We had a lot of advance ticket sales and yes ur right on the nose with ur figures.

We are stepping it up next show and I am hoping the Turner Building is open so we can have more chairs. Thank you for your honesty and you have not seen anything yet.
I am booking new talent for the show and it should be good.

Thanks.

[oldschool]

Only the best of luck to you Mr. Kincaid .

And --yes--I would like to see more shows run in the Indinapolis area in 2010 .

[insanepain]

if your bookin the shows its goin to suck well, nevermind. It's a long story anyways. Needless to say, I was drunk and he really looked like a girl.!

[coldasastone316]

Of course he has to book new talent because none of the talent that was worth anything wants to work with him again. This show was a total clusterphuck. I mean when your 30 man battle royal turns out to be what 15 guys because everyone else left because the show was so bad that pretty pathetic. It's funny you said it was Jake's idea to work with Skip....That has to be the funniest thing I have ever heard. I talked to a few of the workers and they all said the same thing...You had no freaking clue what you were doing. Quit booking your fat a$$ no talent backyarder friend against people. He has no business being in a ring especially with a legend like Jake. That was a slap in the face to Jake. That show only hurt Indy wrestling last night.

[kincaid]

Mike Steele, I wonder why you are NO LONGER apart of wrestling?

I never said It was Jakes Idea for him to work with skip, I said it was his idea to work a tag match and I came up with what I could. It apears that you don't like my booking and if you don't then I can care less.\
January 3rd expect some good things from Frontier Elite Wrestling.

And one more thing Mike Steele, How can you call someone a "Backyarder" when you are not really trained yourself?
You are a joke and you have no business saying anything about anyone. That's why no one in there right mind would book you.

[coldasastone316]

I dont know who the hell Mike Steele is but if you think its me you are oh so very wrong.

[baldrob]

Shamwow.

[kincaid]

LOL Mike, I still have a message from you for belts I was trying to sale because I had to many back from 2007.

Try again!

[truthwriter1974]

For quite a while, I have been reading, and trying to digest this whole forum. On the one hand, you have everyone who claims to love Independent Wrestling.....then on the other hand, you have part of this same group, who does nothing but bash certain organizations. AND, it is a fact, that some of those who do the loudest bashing, are either regulars, or are affiliated with IPW. The same IPW that had approx 8-9 of THEIR associates in the crowd at the Thanksgiving FEW show....led by one of the IPW owners.
BUT, no one doing a review mentioned that fact, and the fact that this group of "problem children" attempted to disrupt or to disrespect FEW, as well as, professional wrestling by shouting phrases that are common in wrestling lingo.

But I digress....and would like to speak on the number of people who are bent on trashing and bashing everything that certain organizations attempt to do.

First of all......for those who review...do you really have any idea what the purpose of bringing "names" to an event is? It is to attract fans, who may otherwise NOT be able to see that person.....it is also used to showcase the talent that works within that particular organization...in other words, you have the "name" wrestle one of your upper tier wrestlers.

Next we have the crowd size.......I think that Mr. Kincaid may have shorted himself by agreeing with the estimate of 164 "paying" fans. I know most of the family members of the wrestlers who were there, and can state for a fact that each wrestler was ONLY allowed to bring one (1) guest...and due to the length of drives of most of them, declined to do so. Any other guest with a wrestler was informed that they would pay full price. THAT is standard practice at nearly all the Independent shows. It is also a fact, that the fire marshall showed up, and informed Rob and the manager of the building, that it had reached it's capacity as far as number of persons allowed in the building. THAT number was 275.

As for the gentleman who bashed Rob, and on a consistant basis......and who has yet to deny that he is this Mike Steele person. I have seen Mike Steele's posts on other sites, and the person in question surely writes like him, and uses terms and phrases like him.

Enough of this though.......there is a common saying about being a wrestling promoter, that has also been used in other fields...."If it was easy, EVERYONE would do it".

Until the rest of you can do better, or have relevant ideas or suggestions........why not stick to something else.


"I'm not here to make friends.....just to be the truthwriter"

[coldasastone316]

There are plenty of people on this board that know me and can tell you that I am not Mike Steele lol. I honestly think its funny that you all are so clueless lol. Next you are going to say you know where Jimmy Hoffa is.

[coldasastone316]

You know I did send you a message back in 2007 about belts you had for sale for my son who really wanted one back then....Would you like me to post that message on here? How from that message would you say that I am him?

[anfguy]

We attended the show because we already knew what was going to happen and I think because most of us wanted a good laugh. I don't remember "shouting phrases that are uncommon in wrestling lingo. We chanted "Bo's Gonna Chop You", "Dirty Squirrel", and "Take It Home." I'm not really sure what's so disruptive about that. Anyways, funny story. While my "IPW associates" and I were walking out of the building on Thursday night we were approached by some fans. These fans had never attended an independent wrestling show in their lives and were noticeably disturbed by what they had seen. They straight up asked us if IPW puts on shows like that, to which we obviously replied, "HELL NO!" Right there is the problem that many of us have with FEW. New independent wrestling fans are being exposed to total goofiness, and unfortunately, they think all local wrestling is just like that. So, I have a question. Who in the f*ck books JAKE "THE SNAKE" ROBERTS and puts him in a match with Skip Raddison? It wouldn't be because he's Rob's best friend would it? And don't even get me started on the overall disorganization of the show. The 30-man battle royal was the biggest clusterphuck piece of shat I've ever seen. 90% of the "workers" were yarders! "Security", if you want to call it that, was a total joke....and who was the sound guy who just randomly played music throughout the night before, after, and even during matches?! That dude needs to get checked for tourette syndrome. C'mon guys, seriously? Anybody with any common sense when it comes to independent wrestling knows how this story ends. We've been here before and we've seen it before. Some things never change!

P.S. "coldasastone316" IS NOT MIKE STEELE! I know this for a fact.

[kincaid]

For what it is worth, If this next show don't WOW people then I will officialy walk away from wrestling and that my friend is a SHOOT! This Thanksgiving show was to be intended to be an "OLD SCHOOL" show and there where some complications with the music I agree however we where trying something different with a DJ program and the program failed. So I know what needs to be fixed. This next show and the shows to come will be amazing.

Like I said if this next show isn't well organised then you won't see my face around Indie Wrestling. I will leave PERIOD.

[mikelawson10]

I dunno But that mike Steele is a pretty cool dude if you ask me ;D
No Cold is not Mike Steele or whatever you say.. Even Colder Mike Steele I say lets all book a walmart and Cold You play that Even Colder Gimmick ;D
