It's in the news today that Vince is seriously considering going ahead with the UK territory now, but how would it be implemented? Where will the main gym be, will they only run shows at the one venue, with the occasional tour ala OVW? What about TV, or flying over the occasional main WWE star for a show? Let me know what you think should happen.

I would imagine impact zone style shows to start with, maybe touring later. The UK doesnt really have the venues for it.
Should include main stars from time to time, but mainly focus on developmental. Five might buy the rights, but more likely to be able to sell it to some cable channel.

I wasn't talking about major RAW shows, but a show very much like the OVW show, which I mostly enjoy watching.

No, i saw you didnt mean Raw shows, but even for house/ovw style shows, does the UK even really have any venues for that sorta show that will get in enough people to make it financially viable?
I cant see serious boxing arenas up north letting 'fake' wrestling in and cant think of anywhere decent sized near me. They do All Star wrestling shows in the guildhall, but that gets an audience of like 100 ppl tops, and couldnt fit many more if they tried with all the gear and things set up as well.

Portsmouth and Morecambe are good places for wrestling. Maybe they would go there.

FWA do alot of ROH/old ECW sized shows- so probs in those places. Also the "serious" boxing venues wouldn't mind putting on "fake" wrestling shows if they were getting a decent enough cut of the box office.

Do you know much about the serious boxing clubs in England's north? Trust me, as mush as the hall managers might like the cash, the patrons would make for a pretty hostile crowd |

I live in Morecambe, they do the FWA shows at the Dome, i think it would be a viable place to do it and although Morecambe is undergoing a MAJOR redevelopment which is going to take years that end of town is actually not too bad, plus i could walk to shows so yeah Vince......come to Morecambe

I now Len and Dean Ayass have great skills with booking and promoting so bassicly just have the training camp sometwhere near Manchester, close to big city and airport, and does shows in Liverpool/Manchester Don't make me hit you, Square. Just... don't. Booking to be done by Robbie Brookside and/or Drew McDonald, who are both to be key in training as well. Tech to be done by Len, with support by WWE guys. Promotions to be done by a new office, NOT to include mr Leonard Davis, who hasn't proven that he can draw a stick figure. Roster to include: Drew McDonald Paul Burchill SOS Dave Taylor Maybe Finlay Maybe Regal Katie Lea Hade Vansen Stu Sanders Murat Bosphorus Chris Chaos Taylor Phoenix Steve Lewington And some other guys, UK and US. |

York Hall in Bethnal Green is good, but I don't know if they'd want to let the new promotion use the place every week. Maybe they'll have to find a soundstage at a TV studio, like a smaller TNA.

I don't know that there'd be a huge problem with using the York Hall on a regular basis, as long as they booked a large block of usage.
Walthamstow Assembly Hall?
The Liverpool venue that RoH and KoE Cup used was fantastic, IMHO, and had a real "cult venue" (think Viking Hall) kind of atmos, in that it was incredible inside, and was in a really crappy area. Also, if crowds were down, it would be easy to shoot it in such a way as to disguide that fact.
