Matt Young Posted January 24, 2006 Report Posted January 24, 2006 I was wondering what were some of the worst names any of you have seen for indy shows. This was inspired by me going to the home page of New Midwest Wrestling (Springfield, IL) whose shows I attended every month til I moved to California. They have some good wrestling and usually have decent show names, but this is just beyond horrible:
RepoMan Posted January 25, 2006 Report Posted January 25, 2006 I don't know, if I knew the Indy promotors had a sense of humor I think I'd be more likely to go.
ulfistgut Posted January 25, 2006 Report Posted January 25, 2006 Ages ago, kinda before they were big the FWA (uk version) promoted an event in a part of London called Acton. The name of the show? Lights, Camera, Acton!
Silence Posted January 25, 2006 Report Posted January 25, 2006 Why does ROH sometimes name their shows after heavily-hyped main-event matches like Joe/Punk II or Joe vs. Kobashi?
Corey_Lazarus Posted January 25, 2006 Report Posted January 25, 2006 Because they're heavily hyped main events and it's easier to use that than a gimmicked name for the show like "Hurray For Hyped Main Events" or whatever?
Hawk 34 Posted January 25, 2006 Report Posted January 25, 2006 Why does ROH sometimes name their shows after heavily-hyped main-event matches like Joe/Punk II or Joe vs. Kobashi? It's simple and directly to the point. That's the drawing point of the show, simply giving it that title emphasizes the importance of it. It's only happened twice with Ring of Honor (naming a show after the main event workers), so it's not common which allows it to stand out, placing a larger sense of importance. That or they didn't want confusion when fans went to buy the dvd/video containing the match and wanted them to directly find it.
JST Posted January 25, 2006 Report Posted January 25, 2006 Basically any adjective/pronoun combinations. PWG owns in terms of show names.
