omg "super nova stars" that is the greatest term ever!!!! .... and a special thanks to Ivan Manson, for posting a story about his memory with Lee Sanders. This post is supposed to be filled with heart felt memories of Lee Sanders, not about bashing people.

Let me repeat myself. If I didn't make it clear before, I believe I stated that I was happy to see a video of Lee since the tournment is about him. Second off, I wasn't bashing anyone for everyone damn information. Again, I would like to see more matches from other wrestlers not just the first 30mins of barry's match is what I stated. If the ladies, for example, have a hot match, than it should be on the web. Don't tell them they have a hot match and don't show it. That is bullsh*t in my book. When you do things like that, you are defeating the purpose of promonting the whole company. And the ladies ARE A PART OF THE COMPANY!!!!!!! Please remember that. I wish those who are in the tournment the best and have fun. PEACE OUT!

Here is more of the truth by BobbyJ..
Barry's promo is justified..and here is why... Dont read this if you cant handle the truth....
Wrestling is a marketing game. One way is to market by name...or by popularity. There is always someone on anyone's roster who is the most popular. At this time for WCPW it is Barry Ryte. Could be argued but here are the facts::
1) More fans buy tickets to see him at this current time. He has a huge fan base that continues to grow at a high rate among the teenage gals who love him.
2) His autographs are in high demand than anyone else's on the roster. Barry is the only wrestler I have seen who is signing during a show non-stop. He has even been seen signing autographs before a training session for his fans. Again..most of his fans are the teenage gals who adore him. I have not seen anything like this before.
3) He is one of the youngest WCPW wrestlers to be wrestling out of state not only because the fans love him..but he can wrestle and fill the seats with new and returning fans too. and he puts on a hell of a show.
Therefore like any wrestling or sporting team, the captain always gets the spotlight. Think about the 80's...more promos were made with Hulk Hogan than lets say Leaping Lanny Poffo.
Does having one wrestler have the spotlight lead to cracks in a federation? ..yes but it can produce a great rivalry among wrestlern ..look at the Freebirds vs Von Erichs, who had the spotlight and were not willing to share it with anyone. Another example,,,,Hogan vs Heenan's family.
It makes sense..you market the hell out of your key player(s). This is how the rules of sport marketing works. If im wrong correct me.
If they made a rookie baseball card of Barry..Barry whould be the Mikey Mantle rookie card that is highly valued. The fans determined the value not the wrestlers.
My suggestion is if one wants to be top dog, come to practice, pay your dues, cut promos and bring in your own fans to fill the seats to cheer you on. All Chamapions in my opinion should have a fan base that continues to support them at every show. Dont rely on Barry to fill the seats with his fans and expect them to cheer you on.
As I said before..if you dont show up for practice how do you expect to cut a promo to evn market yourself? Fans will never know you exist. This applies to both the men as well as the ladies.

No indy wrestlers fills seats as a draw. Bobby J. you are an ass. Instead of l;etting it die you post a super-long post that makes little sense and compares Hogan vs. Hennan to Baryy Ryates feuds.

You should just quit if you get that bent out of shape on a message board and if you can't take criticism then your in the wrong profession but lose your cool at some FAN WHO EXPRESSED OPINION ON A FAN BOARD. by the way im sure your dues are due and its also not a good thing when a former champ at windy city bitches about no one in your company being able to work.

With all due respect to everyone, what is wrong with you guys? I don't believe that Lee would appreciate ANY of the conversation taking place on this portion of the board. We should be more worried about getting donations for his wife & children that he left behind. Rather than bickering about who's popular and who's not. So in the memory of a friend and excellent wrestler let's try to show some respect. For anyone that would like to DONATE to the Sanders family, please get in contact with Sam at WCPW & he will assist you in getting them the donation. Thank you for your time & understanding. R.I.P Lee Sanders, we love you brother.

I have to say as one of the MANY workers, that personally knew Lee both as a worker and as a friend, this posting is a complete disgrace, shame on both Bobby J and J-city for turning this into something that it shouldnt have been! Lee Sanders was A GREAT MAN that taught me alot about the biz, he left a lasting positive impression on every soul he ever met, and was one Hell of a great guy!

It would be nice if the tounament was open to anyone who wanted to work the show. I think if everyone would work together on this one show of the year that it would be a huge success. Not just for the sanders family but all of us as a wrestling community. The one show of the year where we could all come together for a goood cause and put all the differences we have had aside for one show.just my thought.
