The CYN gimmick is a cross between Qanon, and Fight Club. This alone kind of puts a limit on how far it’ll go, and whether it’ll last. But I think there’s a way to fix it. I wrote about how to improve Impact Wrestling. #2 & #4 would do wonders for this brand new niche promotion.
Given the theme, and presentation of the brand. It seems to have a conservative but also anarchist vibe to it. I’d recommend getting press coverage from Daily Wire, Russell Brand, and Jimmy Dore. “Counter culture” is your gimmick.
All three present themselves as that as well. Whether or not they actually are is up to you.
CYNW needs to be built around EC3 & Killer Kross. If it’s going to have any longevity at all. Everyone that’s familiar with their work knows their potential. MJF is a hot commodity right now. EC3 could capitalize on this with a promo on Pro Wrestling TV.
“There’d be no Dynasty or Pinnacle without EC3. No MJF, No Richard Holliday, and No Alex Hammerstone! I AM THE REAL 1%er! CM Punk gave you his time because you copied me” – EC3
Wrestling social media does it’s thing. CYNW is suddenly discussed alongside MLW, and AEW. AEW wrestlers love to mention WWE on TV. So, this is free advertising.
Pro Wrestling TV seems to essentially be the same as Pluto TV’s pro wrestling channel, and YouTube. Plenty of free, and on-demand wrestling out there. A lot of vintage wrestling can be watched for free on YouTube.
If Pro Wrestling TV offered remastered versions of what can be found on YouTube that’d be a great selling point. There’s a market for old wrestling.
Try to be the international home for Crash Lucha Libre, and India’s Wrestle Square. This would probably be a MASSIVE money making opportunity for Pro Wrestling TV. Lucha Libre receives less coverage compared to Puroresu. The Indian wrestling scene doesn’t receive coverage at all.
Promotions that Pro Wrestling TV should consider:
1.Crash Lucha Libre
2. Wrestle Square
3. Both old & current XPW (Yes, I’m serious)
4. H2O wrestling
5. Appalachian Mountain Wrestling
6. Chikara
7. Wrestle Circus
8. AIWF Mid Atlantic
9. National Wrestling Conference
10. Herb Abrams UWF
11. USWA
12. Jarrett’s CWA
13. Shimmer
14. Shine
15. CHW Backyard
16. UWFi
17. GLEAT
18. “Wrestling from Chicago” from the Chicago Film Archives
19. South Atlantic Pro Wrestling
20. Singapore Pro Wrestling
A little bit of everything here.
You could advertise CYNW to the free viewers of these promotions during commercial breaks.
I’m just going to go back to what I said earlier. EC3, and Killer Kross are the obvious people to build CYN wrestling around. Killer Kross would be the main villain. Killer Kross, and Scarlett Bordeaux could have a faction. EC3 could be the 1%er anti-hero that cares about the masses.
Plenty of things could be done.
Now for Tony Khan’s ROH. I don’t have too much to say other than I’m happy it was him. But here’s some changes I’d make.
1. Merge ROH world & TV championships
2. Create a Women’s Pure Championship
3. Get rid the six man tag team championship, and create a Women’s tag team division.
ROH would have 4 singles championships, and 2 tag team championships. The Pure Championships would be in equal standing instead of secondary. Because it’s an different approach to the sport.
Women’s tag team wrestling is making a lot of progress. It’d be best for business to get on that train. Billionaire Tony shouldn’t miss this opportunity.
I’m a big fan of wrestling factions. So, if he does go nuts with it that’s cool. Just have the ROH factions invade AEW occasionally. That’d be great.
