So that upstart fed that shamelessly shilled on FAN.

[Glitch]

I'm sure you guys remember. officialfan.proboards.com/thread/494596/wyoming-wrestling-promotion

EDIT: This is the thread where it originally jumped off from. You can see the guy promise outrageous things, give convoluted answers whenever we criticize his business plan's flaws and his very shady looking indiegogo campaign. Snake oil salesman etiquette at it's finest.

Some footage of their shows. Look at that packed house. XD

Hey, gotta start somewhere.

[Deleted]

Remember that guy who came in and shilled his indy fed, and had a reasonable exchange of ideas with the forum? He's not a millionaire yet, let's have a laugh.

[The Shareholder is nude]

Good for him for having the event. Why is this something to make fun of or laugh at? Where is YOUR Wrestling Show OP?

[Reflecto]

Good for him. At least he actually staged a pro wrestling show- that puts him above 99.9% of promoters who shamelessly shill their startup promotion on the Internet.

[Burst]

Still better than that vaporware Florida promotion.

Don't be silly. They we're on the verge of revolutionizing the industry. It's not their fault their mom called them in for dinner.

As far as the OP, I don't remember this. Must've been while I was on the shelf for a while. Good for them though!

[Amazing Kitsune]

Good for them.

Since most of you don't seem to remember, this guy first popped in the thread about the one dude trying to buy tna(they are not the same person but they are connected).
Here's where it starts in that specific thread.
officialfan.proboards.com/thread/489733/hi-trying-buy-tna-wrestling?page=8

I'm not pointing and laughing because a guy trying to live his dream failed. No, I'm laughing because an arrogant guy who sounded like he had no idea what he was doing acted extremely cocky. He kept insisting how he was gonna bring full time jobs to the area and how it could easily be a hotbed for wrestling merely by running a promotion there.
When ever we pointed out flaws in his plan, he would get over-defensive and give convoluted answers. He even said how we would be perfect fodder for their heels.

Also, the promotion only ran like two shows(last one in October) bigskywrestling.com/


So instead of "good for them", we should say "watch who you give your money to in crowdfunding".

They staged the show. He followed through on his plan. Success or failure of the size of the crowd or popularity is irrelevant, he actually made good on his idea. He didn't sound cocky at all int he thread, his answers were well thought out, honest, and he solicited a lot of feedback.

To be honest the only time it seems he got snippy at all was with YOU, which makes me wonder if there is something else going on here we don't know about.

In any event, I and apparently most of us, applaud his efforts.

[DjZonk]

I feel uncomfortable when people try and take this piss out of people who are trying hard to follow a passion. The disturbing thing to me is, you know there is a strong chance they will come across your mean and cruel words because they / he / whatever are small enough to find it in searches etc. Why would you want to be such a horrible person?

As long as nobody has offended you, just try and be a nice person. The world has enough jerks, we don't need to add to it here.

[Heinz Doofenschmirtz]

I'll take someone who tries and fails every time over someone who sits on the sidelines and bitches.

[Blindkarevik]

Posts like this are the reason why there are a lot of very talented people out there who never reach their full potential.

Was that the one with the dude that was spamming the forum about how awesome that it was and it was some terrible backyard fed with the guy posting being the worst promo in the history of promos?

Those were some of the most entertaining threads in this forum's history.

I was pretty intrigued that a guy was going to run indie shows in Wyoming of all places. I had to go back to remember if it was the same thread I remembered because I certainly didn't see any arrogance or cockiness.

I think you nailed it that there's something else going on here. The OP pulls this old thread out of nowhere and knows that this guy and someone in another thread are "connected". OP has some kind of axe to grind and he's exposing his true colors in clumsily trying to do so.

this is not going the way OP was expecting.

Let's say things about his mother.

I thought this would be about that TNT fed.

Still waiting for "The Midth"

I actually tend to agree with OP though, despite popular opinion. That dude was pretty annoying and delusional. Not saying he necessarily deserves public mockery (although that crowd is pretty hilarious), but I think many in this thread are being self righteous about it.
