1234-5678 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2004 1. Do you think 3PW can continue operations if attendance continues to be in the 200-300 fans level? 2. Who do you see being the next breakout star in 3PW? 3. 3PW seemed to do better business when it was on an ECW nostalgia kick. With guys like Raven, Sandman and Sabu booked regularly, word of mouth and attendance were both higher. Do you see 3PW bringing in any bigger names in the future (specifically Tommy Dreamer or Mick Foley)? 1) I expect attendances to increase dramatically when word starts to spread and tapes start to get traded showcasing Daniels, Styles, Matthews, Ruckus, Stryker and the gang. Remember, back in ECW, we used to draw the same crowds the first year or so and we had TV then. Once word began to spread about some guys named Malenko, Guerrero, and Benoit, more and more fans began to attend. 2) There is no one name..........in addition to the names I gave you in answer #1, I'll never know why someone like an April Hunter hasn't been scooped up by Vince. She is a true worker, and she can go with men or women, unlike Chyna, who had the build, but could never work. Talia has tremendous potential as well. I stopped trying to figure it out when I see someone like Joey Matthews languish in OVW, when he is absolutely a heat-seeking missile on the mic, and can carry a match telling a story within it with darn near anyone. Of course, Vince will always take a non-working 6' 10" guy with no mic skills over him anytime. You would have thought he'd have learned something from how over Mysterio was when he first came in and was being pushed properly. 3) ECW's time has passed, and it can never be re-created. Sandman, Raven, and Sabu have worked for us many times. When I speak with Mick Foley, which is relatively often, we have discussed him coming to 3PW many times, however he really doesn't want to wrestle. He'd prefer to referee, or be a commissioner type role. I'm not sure that would fit our budget, although there is a former WWE superstar who will remain nameless, and is as big a star as there is, that we are currently in negotiations with that could take this company on his back and raise it up 5 times to where it is overnight. As for Dreamer, I'd love to be the guy who brings him back to the ECW arena for the first time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted August 26, 2004 The day Dreamer goes back to the ECW Arena is the day I buy a plane ticket to Philly and go see a 3PW show. It would be worth it just to see Tommy so overcome with emotion as he comes back to the place he helped make important. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know he'd put everything into his match, since he's in quasi-retirement now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianChick 0 Report post Posted August 26, 2004 Is April Hunter any good? I've never seen her wrestle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted August 27, 2004 She's okay. Not as good as a lot of people make her out to be, and I think local wrestler Mercedes Martinez is eons better than her, but she's decent. If the only women you're comparing her to are Chyna and a lot of the WWE Divas? Then yeah, terrific worker. But compared to other female workers in the indies around North America? Alexis Laree, Mercedes Martinez? She's decent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
