If you pay a rival feds champion,1k and a case of Miller Lite,to throw the rival feds belt in a trash can on your show. Then cut a 15 minute promo that is almost word for word Shane Douglas THIS IS ECW NWA world title crap,and most of the crowd has no clue what you are referencing. All while losing your main venue after the show for not cleaning up after shows the last 6 times....YOU MIGHT BE AN OUTLAW MUDSHOW Again true story on this one too..... More like Cubic Zirconia Championship Wrestling Some indies have the most ridiculous goddamn priorities. I can't imagine having a grand as an indie promoter and thinking slagging another fed is the best use of those funds.

If you’re booking Trevor Murdoch and Damien Sandow in 2019 then you might be an outlaw mudshow Nearly two years later... If you're booking Tyrus in 2021 then you might be an outlaw mudshow. And over a year later... If you're not only still booking Tyrus in 2022 but also giving him world title shots/PPV main events and defending the decision to do so despite the general disdain and apathy your fanbase has for him then having to sell tickets at a discount because nobody's wanting to see him, then you might be an outlaw mudshow and certainly a f***ing idiot.

If your promotion's only real asset is a pizza oven, you night be an outlaw mud show. If your promoter screams "don't you know who I am" at the wait staff at a Shoney's, and nobody has a f***ing clue, you night be an outlaw mud show. If you pay one of your wrestlers in pain pills he O.D.s on, you might be an outlaw mud show. If you send several guys including your preteen son out to flat out murder a guy because he scuffed your meal ticket's nail, you might be an outlaw mud show. If you are making up sob stories about your bank account being hacked and needing to pay your rent to con people out of money only to actually use that money to attempt yet another "comeback", you are definitely an outlaw mudshow. Yes folks, he's at it again.

Nearly two years later... If you're booking Tyrus in 2021 then you might be an outlaw mudshow. And over a year later... If you're not only still booking Tyrus in 2022 but also giving him world title shots/PPV main events and defending the decision to do so despite the general disdain and apathy your fanbase has for him then having to sell tickets at a discount because nobody's wanting to see him, then you might be an outlaw mudshow and certainly a f***ing idiot. Just over a month later... If you're not only still booking Tyrus in 2022 but have made him your main champion despite the general disdain and apathy your fanbase has for him while simultaneously questioning if any women on the indie scene can carry a show, you're definitely an outlaw mudshow and you're still a f***ing idiot. We've had random reigns, we've had bought reigns, we've had reigns come about because someone worked for an airline and could fly cheap/free, we've even had a placeholder reign solely to try to boost a show's numbers, but I think this might be the very first time someone has won the NWA title out of spite.

If your ring is at least partly held up by a log (yes, you read that right, a friggin' LOG), you are very much an outlaw mudshow.
Friend of mine sent me a screenshot of this particular atrocity yesterday. Social media's been having a field day with it.

From what I can find, it's SWF in New Jersey, the same promotion that caught hell not too long ago for attempting to book Patrick Clark fresh off getting canned from WWE. For anyone who hasn't seen this yet, here's the pic.

If the referee sets one of the wrestlers on fire as his opponent is throwing him over the top rope and onto an unprotected floor, then you might be at an outlaw mud show. (this happened recently).

If your former commentary guy goes on his podcast and reveals all the dirt....
How Chris Masters got stiffed on pay How you were paying a cameraman 75 bucks to film show and 50 for gas. How yall lost your best venue cause you refused to clean up after each show. You might be an outlaw mud show.
But also if you get let go from said Outlaw mudshow cause you are on the sex offenders list.....
Also when the promoter of said Outlaw Muddshow claims to have know the dude for 20 years and doesnt know this person is on the sex offenders list......
Oh Cubic Zerconia Championship Wrestling you are the gift that keeps bring me laughes and laughes over the past 2 years.

I didn't hear what he said, but Jim Cornette talked about it on one of his recent podcasts.

Was that what was supposed to happen, or a botch? It's terrible either way, but I am deeply confused. So, watching the clip, here's how the spot was supposed to go: Wrestler A military presses Wrestler B, ref lights Wrestler B on fire with lighter while up in military press, Wrestler A tosses Wrestler B into a table on the floor about 10 feet away from the ring. However, Wrestler B only clipped the very edge of the table and fell directly on the floor, while still on fire, and had to be put out.

If the main advertising at the event consists of any of the following: a taxidermy shop, a pawn shop, a gun and ammunition shop, a bail bondsman, a liquor store, adult novelty store or a strip club, then you might be at an Outlaw Mud Show.

This is from 15 years ago, but still counts.
When your...
...traveling champion shows off the vintage title belt he stole from a (living) legend, then brags about possession is 9/10 of the law...
...big name star, David Young, is forced to relive the TNA "losing streak" angle much to his chagrin...
...marquee angle begins with a James Mitchell wannabe cutting a sermon on Hell and ends in a pole match so convoluted that even Russo would object to...
...promoter, who also ran a "stolen gimmick" name and shame site at the time, stole his gimmick directly from Ricky Steamboat...
...main event is Bryan Logan and a plus-sized Jerry Lawler ripoff...
...fake Lawler openly states, out of character and out of the blue to the writer of the promotion's website, that he beats his wife...
...you're definitely an outlaw mudshow.

If you promise a surprise appearance from a former WCW star and it's some jobber who got squashed once on a WCW syndicated show in the 90's, then you might be an Outlaw Mud Show.

...if a guys feet kick a ceiling tile out during a superplex spot, another ref comes out with a ladder to fix it as the match continues, and there's a mechanical bull 10 feet from the ring you're almost certainly at an outlaw mudshow.

This was 86 or 87. GCCW ,this time ran by Uncle Elmer aka Stan Frazier,was running shows at a bar/lounge in the next town. The ring was low,but not low enough. Heel grabs the face got for a standing vertical suplex ,forgetting the huge ceiling fan right over the middle of the ring. Face's leg hits the fan. Blade breaks off,and this was the old 80s wooden blade fans,and lands in crowd. After show,or might have been intermission been forever ago,see some young kid,under 10 I bet,going to the various faces with this fan blade and a knife.Getting them too carve their names into the wooden blade.
