They could very well look at a packed house on the Jan 17th now that the BWO will be there I hope so or their days of running shows will be numbered. |

There appeared to be about 25-30 people. Little bit of a low turnout probably because the Blackhawks were playing the Red Wings at the United Center and also the UFC at the Allstate Arena I bet the real reason why only 25-30 people showed up is because SCW doesn't put on a show people want to see. |

C-mon, Lar. The lineup looked good. I'm guessing the show wasn't promoted or advertised worth a damn. They better bust their butts for the BWO show (which might have drawn well a few years ago during the ECW nostalgia boom but I don't know about now) or their losses are going to sink them like the Titanic. |

They didn't put on a good show Saturday for a # of reasons. 1st. Larry Sweeney wasn't making an appearance, 2. the UFC was also in town as well according to rumors and 3. the ideas I have that can bring in an audience aren't used at all.

I did the advertising for the show and if 2000 + people read the ad, then I think that it should've garnered a response.

You know you win some you lose some the last show had 125 so why the draw on this show wasn't as good I'm not sure. It was promoted worth a damn so there were other factors. We will just see how January goes and go from there.  I will not let other people's negativity affect me in any way. |

Good to hear and I'm not trying to be negative - I wish for no promotion to go under. |

There is no need to hate on anyone else's promotion, Mr. Sternshein, you do not see me on here ever saying a bad word about anyone else in the indies or yourself for that matter. You have never attended nor seen a show so you can not speak for anybody else except your own malinteded commentary. Thank you and have a pleasant evening. As I said before negativity only fuels the fire and makes us better. |

I just don't want to see feds make excuses for the reasons why they're not drawing well. If we, as a community, can have a dialogue about these issues, maybe it'll benefit everybody.

I never made excuses as I said previously in this thread you win some you lose some our last show drew well so for whatever reason this one didn't no excuses. I have no issue have a dialogue that will benefit everyone, but for you to say 100 people must not have liked it or there was nobody on the card people wanted to see isn't beneficial it's attacking. If other people are speculating reasons for a poor draw ufc etc...that is purely them but as for myself I make no excuses. So that being said let's talk about it. |

I attended the show on Oct. 25th and I had a great time like I always do. It's a shame about the turn out cause they always give a great show. I'd like this Sternshein character to sit with me at the next show and critique it with me. I drive from DeKalb to Midlothian to see these shows. Danny Basham and a rising star in Sandy Beach was enough to bring me out. Doesn't hurt to have hot ladies such as Josie, Tracy Taylor, Serena Deeb and Becky Bayless who are all talented besides being attractive. The NOW are a great heel tag-team. The atmosphere is fan friendly. Second City always allows time to meet most of the talent.
I agree that Ego vs Prince Ali was one of the better matches. The 6-man match with Tony Devito in it was also great. The Halloween Contest did rock since my 6 year-old neice took the title.

The NOW are a great heel tag-team. NO. There is a difference between heat because your a good heal or "X-Pac Heat" which is the crowd hates you because your terrible. They are the latter |
