Placebo Effect 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2004 My God. That's going to be another LOOOONG show from U.S.A. Pro. How do they stay financially stable? The guys they use are far from cheap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Joe_G Report post Posted May 6, 2004 How do they stay financially stable? The guys they use are far from cheap. Ticket sellers. They have a deal where if you sell a certain amount of tickets, you get to wrestle in a match on the show (often against other ticket sellers). So not only are they not paying these people to wrestle, they're actually taking in money by allowing them on the card, which offsets the cost of the higher priced talent. Unfortunately, it also results in shows that run longer than the Lord of the Rings trilogy. But I have heard every show Frank Goodman runs shows a profit.

JustJoe2k5 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2004 I just found this at the site as well. ICW's ULTIMATE RETURN Friday, July 9th, 2004 At Amazura Concert Hall Teacher Meets Student: Dan Maff vs. Homicide High-Flying Action!: Amazing Red vs. Grim Reefer Six-Man Tag Team Match: Heavy Hitters (Boogalou and Monsta Mack) and Mike Tobin vs. MEGA, Prince Nana, and Tiger Kahn Also Scheduled to Appear: A.J. Styles, Christopher St. Connection, Los Lunatics, Matt Striker, The S.A.T., The Solution and more! ICW could benefit from A.J. Styles being removed from Ring of Honor as they are now the only promotion, that I know of, that books him in the Northeast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zack Malibu 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2004 Six-Man Tag Team Match: Heavy Hitters (Boogalou and Monsta Mack) and Mike Tobin vs. MEGA, Prince Nana, and Tiger Kahn Boogalou? I thought he was shunned by most of these guys for heading to XPW while a part of the Natural Born Sinners in ROH with Homicide. Also, funny how we haven't heard as much from him or Mack on the indies while their respective partners have been involved in some of ROH's more high profile storylines.

Boogalu has been a regular in WXW and Connecticut Championship Wrestling over the past year. He's had some very good matches wtih guys like Mean Gene Snisky (sp?), All Money Is Legal, Low Ryda, The SAT, and others. BTW, AJ Styles vs. John Walters has been added to the above ICW card. I plan on attending that show, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zack Malibu 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2004 WXW is Afa's fed, based out of PA, right? Cool enough. I just hadn't heard of him in the more noticeable indy feds much, and I wasn't sure how long he and Mack have been teaming as the Heavy Hitters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LucharesuFan619 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2004 WXW is Afa's fed, based out of PA, right? Yup. They just had a big show a few weekends back that featured a tag team tournament in which AMIL, The DRS, The SAT, Boogalu, and other guys competed. Said to be very good. I'm pretty sure this is either the first or one of the first times they're teaming together. They definitely haven't been tagging together for more than a month, maybe two at the most.
