FTR Scott Casey was a tremendous worker before his WWF tv and WWF house show run. Unfortunatly Casey was just there for one last $$ run but was very over in Southwest Championship Wrestling in San Antonio for years and had that territorys Tag Team Title and Singles strap. Ric Flair and Harley Race during their NWA title runs worked huge houses thru the San Antonio territory against Scott Casey. Scott Casey and Tully Blanchard were 2 of Michael Hickenbotom' favorites when he was growing up in San Antonio. Many of u know that this Mike H. years later became Shawn Michaels. Scott Casey and Nick Bockwinkle operated a wrestling school in Las Vegas and had success with it. Both still live in Vegas to this day. Steve Uprobably are a good person but like Ben Richards u probably just do not want to take the time to research the history of the business and learn more about some of the great talent in the past like a Scott Casey who blazed the trail for those who are Superstars today.

Not every fan knows about ROH, AAW and Resistance so to say that they would run anybody out of any town in the Chicago area is quite premature.
Each company is no different then all the stations in your car radio AM, FM, Sirius.
People who like talk radio will listen to WLS, WGN, etc. Those who like oldies 94.7 Soft Rock WLIT 93.9
and so on
Not to take a shot at AAW, ROH, or Resistance because they feature the elite in Indy wrestling. If lets say 15,000 flyers for shows that AAW, ROH, and Resistance were handed out to 15,000 people exiting the Allstate arena i would wager that maybe 10-15 % of those 15k would know about AAW, ROH, and Resistance and i am being generouswith that number. With Resistance getting a weekly tv on U26 i recently read that is a great opportunity to expand it's fan base.
Keep in mind Ben that to this day the Casual fan that knows of only WWE and maybe TNA have no idea of ROH, AAW, and Resistance and that counts for about 13,000 people or more of those 15,000 flyers.

I agree that Warrior is a head case but the majority of your casual mark fans don't know that and there is your crowd base u want to draw from.

Not at all Pete.
The poster before u posted was the target i was responding to. I know and realize that both of u have a few issues with Jimmy and POWW and i respect your thoughts. If a portion of the house taken in is contributed to Macho Man' favorite charity when he was alive on behalf of Lanny then i sincrely hope that Lanny hits all 50 states and even some international citys to raise money for the cause.

I remember when Macho Man passed away earlier in the year someone made some pompous ass remark about how only a company like ROH should be allowed to do a tribute event for Randy Savage while every other company that planned to do a tribute event or even a 10 bell salute in his honor were scumbags.
A few folks out there have their opinions on Macho Man being inducted into there Hall of Fames, tribute show or whatever the case may be.
I am only speaking for myself and i realize that there will be those who agree with me or disagree and that certainly is your perogative. I have known Jimmy Blaze since early 1990's and just in my dealings with Jimmy i have never seen nor been a part of the man doing a dishonest thing. I can say the same thing about Lanny Poffo, in fact i will say that the entire Poffo family are top shelf folks.
I was close to running Downers Grove North H.S. the school where both Randy and Lanny attended and have their dad Angelo on the event as well many years ago but due to the then organization that was going to run the event wanting more that could be taken in it never happened. It was no guarantee tha Randy was even going to work the event but i still would have brought in Lanny and Angelo and the event would have still did great business because of the Poffo family homecoming.
Hall of Fames from every sport have some controversial inductees as members such as Babe Ruth. Babe Ruth probably saved Major League baseball after the 1919Black Sox scandal and dressed up as Santa Claus and also visited many childrens hospitals. The dark side of Babe Ruth was is that he was kind of the Charlie Sheen of his day plus he was buds with Al Capone and it is said that when The Yankees were playing at Comiskey Park, from time to time The Babe would take a quick run across the street to one of the bars down a few shots of whiskey and then run back across the street to the ball park. Hack Wilson, OJ Simpson, Ty Cobb ( a huge racist ) are just a small sampling of questionable athletes enshrined in their respective H.O.F.
After the 1994 baseball season was shut down, baseball was loosing attendance and tv ratings and popularity but then the roid crew of Sammy Sosa, Mark Mcguire, and Barry Bonds all led a resurgence to the game much like Babe Ruth and all 3 probably not in our lifetimes never be inducted into the H.O.F. just like Pete Rose.
Just tossing my 2 cents in like it or lump it.

-----------------------------------
Reyna tell me about any job be it Sports, Politics, TV, Movies, Singer, Dancer, Surgeon, Physician, Auto Mechanic, Attorney, Bartender, Waiter, Accountant, Truck Driver, Postal Worker or for that matter any Government job and so on and so on that will tell an employeewho complainsabout his or her' working conditions, working environment, wages, benefits, etc. that u can approach the President, CEO, etc. and tell them how to run things.
What is most likely to happen ?
A- You are right Reyna we will cange how we do business to accomodate you because it is you who matters.
B- If u don't like it get the F-ck out of here, Hundreds maybe thousands of people that will take your spot in a second.
C- When u become the minority shareholder of this firm then we will consider your opinions and thoughts until then get your arse back to work !
If u answered B and C then treat yourself to anything on the Mickey d's $1 value menu.
Remember the Golden Rule Reyna
He who has the Gold or checkbook runs the show be it good, bad, or mediocre. In my 25 plus years in the biz i can count on probaly one hand how many " NICE " promoters - bookers there were.

I'm not taking sides on this but it is never a good thing when friendships end over such trivial shizit. I have been out of the biz for over 6 years now and in looking back at some of the stuff that ruffled my feathers as well as others was just plain not worth it.
His turf my turf crap. As time goes by and we get a little bit older and wiser was it really all worth it over a few buildings that seat a few hundred people and cause often times eternal hostility. Good luck both of u guys i hope maybe a few years from now u both can be hoisting a few cold ones and just laugh all this off.
