HELP: Booking Talent

[Slammy Award-Winning Cannibal]

Is there a list or directory on the web of bookable wrestling talent? I can't seem to find one... Any help would be appreciated

Pretty much all talent on the indies will have you go to them directly for bookings. If you can find their Facebook, Twitter, or a web site it'll point you in the right direction. Are there particular people you're trying to reach?

I am going to send you a separate email but if you are looking for legends my buddies Jimmy Valiant and Nikolai Volkoff are available.

Other suggestions are check their official sites, as mentioned previously. With ease of use of facebook and ability to re-connect with friends, there are a lot of wrestlers using it even older ones. We all know Sunny has one!

Also if you have friends going to wrestling conventions ask them to inquire with wrestlers. Sure there are some wrestlers will blow you off if they know you aren't going to buy something then and there but there are a majority of guys who will talk with you if they know you're interested in something down the road. Don't let the jerks cloud your judgment as there are guys who are willing to help a new promoter and see you through the process.

Also check wrestlingfigs.com as they often post news with wrestlers looking for bookings. Markedout.com is a cool site which lists upcoming appearances of wrestlers and also does reports of shows so that gives you an idea of what a wrestler is like.

Most importantly do research, check different sites so you know who is easy and who is difficult to work with.

Thanks guys, this is all really helpful. I have specific talent in mind but I also wanted to see lists of names of who is "in the market" for bookings because it would remind me of people I might have forgotten about.

You'll pay a little more because they are an agency and the agent takes a fee but Bill Behrens is the agent there so I assume it'd be relatively enjoyable and professional experience.
