Stand By Your Man

As 2009 is ushered in, I figured there would be nothing better than to write a blog about something I know a thing or two about, something that has helped define who I am in my adult life. I'm 3 months shy of 30, and I've been in the LOCAL wrestling business since I was 16 years old. So given that I have 14 years dedicated to the business, what better thing to talk about first and foremost in 2009, than just that.

More specifically I wanted to offer a piece of advice to my good friend Andrew Shallcross, promoter of Premier Championship Wrestling, Winnipeg's finest LOCAL professional wrestling show. Andrew has used "Welcome To The Jungle" since the inception of the company in 2002 to start every single PCW show. It's an anthem, it suggests that the wrestlers who perform on the show are wild jungle like animals, and the environment is so crazy anything can happen (from the critique's I've heard lately, nothing unpredictable has happened, and it's severely compromised the theme of the jungle). So all holiday season long, I've been thinking, what would be a better anthem for my good friend's wrestling product, something that perfectly describes a theme for the show, and describes Premier Championship Wrestling, the thriving LOCAL wrestling company. So when PCW holds it's next show on Thursday night January 15th, at Dylan's on Pembina Highway, I encourage you all to check it out, and more than that, I encourage the PCW's brain thrust to change the anthem of the company to... "Stand By Your Man" the 1970's classic country mega-hit by the great Tammy Wynette.

Now before you wrestling fans, all of whom have a strong desire to post ridiculous things on my comment section under anonymous names, chastise me for bad taste in music, let me say I can think of nothing more fitting or entertaining than the sweet sound of Tammy Wynette wailing out a song that perfectly describes the blind loyalty a group of about 10 LOCAL wrestlers give Andrew K. Shallcross. Nothing underlined this point, better than about a week ago when Danny Duggan announced a plan to run Canadian Wrestling's Elite, a wrestling vision that is designed to only give the wrestling fan his best vision of how good pro wrestling in Manitoba could be showcased, and a couple of LOCAL wrestlers suggested that Danny seek out a discussion with Shallcross to ask permission and keep the peace before investing his personal money and promoting a wrestling event. This will likely get heat but Danny Duggan is probably the best booking mind in Manitoba right now, and has the most comprehensive knowledge of the strengths and weaknesses of every LOCAL wrestler in Manitoba. So as a fan, I'd be very excited to see a very different wrestling product, on January 23, at Maples Community Club.

Getting back to the point. A group of seemingly blind LOCAL wrestlers, following a promoter who has lead them to the promised land of declining productivity. Andrew will pressure any LOCAL wrestler who performs for PCW by saying "be loyal to the team", when in reality he's demanding that you follow his blind and often stubborn lead at all costs, and mostly in the worst directions ever. Of course, Andrew will argue that he has the best "team" anywhere in Canada, and that his shows are still the most successful, I've even heard he has boldly made the claim that he's the best booker these parts have ever seen. Sure you are, and I'm the most religious person at the church each and every Sunday.

Lets review some of the choices he expects his "team" of LOCAL wrestlers to endorse, support and show unequaled loyalty to:
-Stiffing TNA superstars Samoa Joe and Chris Sabin on pay, because Joe wouldn't put Kenny Omega over, and ended the match in 8 minutes. So naturally, let's not pay Chris Sabin either, because, well because I'm not sure... Lets just stiff them. The result, it will be nearly impossible to ever bring a TNA wrestler to PCW, and quite likely short of the very credible endorsement of Kenny Omega, it will be virtually impossible to get any "name" superstar in the wrestling business to accept a booking from PCW. (Andrew, pucker up and kiss Kenny's feet, because you owe him big, and if you aren't happy with the match from Kenny's contact, don't stiff him no matter what).
-Entering into an absolutely useless agreement with CWF promoter Ernie Todd, one that I accurately predicted would not work, and would accomplish Jack Diddly shit. In the meantime, Todd and Shallcross in an effort to power play with their misguided projection of market dominance attempted to blackball Danny Duggan, AJ Sanchez, Kevy Chevy and Don Douglas, but only accomplished firing up Steeltown Pro Wrestling, and promoter Rob Stardom who was wise enough to see the short-sightedness of the two. It also served to prop up Ringmasters Entertainment a great deal and created a stronger level of competition for PCW.
-Andrew is now telling anyone who will listen that he will expand the schedule of PCW from sporadic (he strives for monthly, but hasn't done so well with that) to bi-weekly. GOOD LUCK Mr. Promoter with that. You already work a fraction of what is needed to make a monthly show successful on the promoting and marketing end, and now you will double the commitment of shows? To me, that's like being a remedial high school student, and for some delusional reason signing up for University Entrance courses. You're likelihood of failing skyrockets, and it's to mask some desperation that I still can't fathom. You aren't qualified to promote a lemon-aid stand, you are vastly unqualified to promote a bi-weekly wrestling show. But prove me wrong.

The most contentious and absolutely asshole thing, that Mr. Promoter Andrew Shallcross did this week, was to make back-handed remarks, where he attempted to compromise the credibility of Bryan Danielson. Suggesting Danielson is not what main-stream wrestling fans would want to see was ridiculous. I'm certain that Amazing Red, and Milano Collection AT (advertised but do to injury never made it to PCW), and Steve Corino have the main-stream wrestling appeal that vastly surpasses Danielson (please note my intended sarcasm there). And while fans (who are really the only ones who matter in this blog) salivate at the thought of Mentallo vs. Danielson, a match that on anticipation alone has already delivered what promoter Danny Duggan hopes to achieve, Shallcross proclaims on his personal website that Mentallo knows nothing of the match. He stopped short of saying Mentallo won't be there, or isn't booked, just that it was questionable on the level of respect for the promoter to book Mentallo for potentially an opportunity that could define his 2009, without letting Mentallo know who his opponent would be. Danny, if you want to book me, and surprise me with a face to face promo with Ric Flair, I will consider it completely disrespectful, especially if you don't negotiate my pay and let me know I'm doing it first. I won't appreciate your faith in me to be able to hold my own with the greatest promo in the business. (Please note my earlier sarcasm once again).

Now a very desperate and disillusioned Andrew has gone into complete panic mode. He's working his e-mail vigorously, and has dangled a potential announcement of an "import" to come to PCW and once again show why PCW isn't dieing. That's called reactionary, and it's the complete opposite of visionary. In an effort to get his loyal "team" of LOCAL wrestlers to shy away from the booking, he's suggested that evil Mike Davidson, with a legacy that includes producing National TV and Pay Per View wrestling broadcasts, and who is pretty respected amongst "Names" in the business is the actual promoter or booker of the event, but if that was known, the loyal PCW team of LOCALS would not take the booking. Andrew, if I was promoting the event, I probably would not have asked some of the LOCAL wrestlers in question. But for the sake of your ego, and my need for sarcasm, proof that I'm not the promoter or booker, or even am I booked for the event... This event will be a financial success on January 23, when is the last time Mike Davidson was involved in an event that was deemed a financial success? After all, despite having a legacy that includes PPV and TV, and having friendships with some of the biggest names in the wrestling business, I'm just a failure right? The only one of us failing at the moment, is the promoter who's running shows with four matches, and who's crew is shrinking by the month.

And another thing. Slap in the face? Andrew recently was attributed as saying PCW had more stars not on able to make their last show than any wrestling show has on their entire show. He said that three guys were unavailable. Well any show with Danny Duggan, AJ Sanchez, Kevyn Chevy, Don Douglas or Rob Stardom already have that many stars. So perhaps you can offer a retraction to your pompous statement. Just a thought.

I also know that this blog may prompt more LOCAL wrestling personality to take "their best shot" at me. Realize those "shots" are coming as you sit on the deck of the titanic, and it's going to suck when you are begging for life preservers because your blind loyalty to stubborn and unsuccessful promoter made it virtually impossible to get booked when he finally sunk. And rest assured, PCW is a ship with many many holes.

So to summarize:
I am not involved in any way shape or form in CWE's first event.
Under the "leadership" of Andrew Shallcross, Premier Championship Wrestling is failing at an alarming rapid rate, because the promoter is desperate and reactionary.
The new anthem for PCW should be "Stand By Your Man".
Thanks to Mike Arnott for his wonderful and appreciated contributions to this blog.

Stupid question time Mike so give me a minute here. Is it not a FACT that Andrew has done nothing but put over Kenny's bookings this year on the PCW site, which includes ROH?

So with that as a fact, isn't the biggest name in ROH Bryan Danielsen? If he is not mainstream why plaster all over the website about Kenny working for ROH?

That makes NO sense to me.

Mike Davidson said...

A comment was attributed to Andrew from his message board, on www.premierchampionshipwrestling.com, where Andrew pointed out that Danielson's style may not appeal to mainstream wrestling fans, and that he was 3rd or 4th on the list of priorities of imports for PCW.

By suggesting that Danielson's style may not appeal to mainstream wrestling fans, perhaps you need to pose the question to what prompted Shallcross' comment.

I personally did not see the comment, and was only told about it, so if I'm mistaken I offer an apology. Perhaps someone could clarify if the comment was in fact made.

Wow. Someone is very bitter. HAHA

Mike Davidson said...

No, I'm not bitter at all. I wish Danny the absolute best with this show, and I'm completely comfortable in saying he's well on his way to success.

I just think it was a terribly asshole like effort on the part of Shallcross.

On Friday, he should have offered a sincere congratulations to Mentallo on being given a huge opportunity. Further more, he shouldn't have arrogantly referenced Danny's effort as an endorsement to PCW's vision, when Danny probably respects Mentallo more than anybody, and had faith in him.

Its clear from the comments Andrew made, that he'd be happier if this match didn't happen. And on that level, I'm sure Danny, Mentallo, and a whole lot of fans who have expressed interest in the event would feel shafted.

The man preeches a greater level of cooperation, and when one of the top wrestlers in the Province is given a non-political opportunity, Andrew reacts like a scorned school girl, in an absolute classless reaction.

hey mikey if you checked that thread that your buddy danny started Andrew actually wrote

Danielson is a great worker. I am sure he will put on a great show.
The only criticism I've heard is that he's not a "flashy" worker, much more technical which doesn't always play well in front of a live "mainstream" crowd.


Not quite what you insinuated. do you think mainstream wwe fans are dying to see him?

Mike Davidson said...

I'm very happy this is such a provocative hot-button topic.

Why would Andrew feel the need to extend the criticism he's "heard" to a non-PCW show, when nobody asked him, "Andrew do you think that American Dragon is a good score?"

What if, and thank god, he doesn't put a lot of stock in Andrew's extended criticism, Danny had decided that Andrew spoke for the marketplace, and cancelled Dragon, and instead went with someone proven to the mainstream fan like, oh lets say, Honky Tonk Man or a legend. Mentallo vs. Honky would not have the same appeal would it?

Anonymous posters can argue on behalf of Andrew, until Andrew's hands cramp up on his keyboard (yes, read between the lines, I'm suggesting Shallcross is posting), but what he did was the action of a hurt competitor, and not someone who should have been proud of the faith Danny had in Mentallo.

good blog. why did you and madison want to be part of PCW if it was a sinking ship all this time?

local wrestling should all go away for a while. no one wants it but the wrestlers themselves. there aren't many fans at PCW shows. the last PCW show was awful, and meanwhile the one before which I didn't see was a show that Andrew apologized for. how many shows in the last 4 months has Andrew apologized for or acknowledged that the shows were not that great? at least 3 of them. just quit while you're way behind. jesus h christ. it would be different if at least 100 or 150 people were consistently showing up to each show. low attendance is a sign that you've lost your audience.

Davidson, what's your take on Andrew claiming to be a promoter when all he does is book matches? do you think his shows do any damage to local wrestling when people show up and see a small crowd?

Mike Davidson said...

I may be out of school, but I believe Andrew recently made an attempt to book Shane Madison, and the offer was met with colder temperatures than we currently see outside. I've also been told that in a rebuttle to an interview I did for Charlene, Andrew suggested he and I should get on the same page and work together. I am not interested in that.
In August I took an interest in doing anything possible to help PCW, and it wasn't about money, and it wasn't about ego or pride. It was an honest ambition to help the product. There were many factors to why that lasted one show, and it would be a blog in of itself to outline them all. The biggest one, I felt Andrew did not approach Madison or I at all without a level of contempt.
I don't think PCW damages the marketplace, I believe, Angels, Mentallo, even Royce and Knight are very viable professionals who fit in on any pro wrestling show. Omega is head and shoulders the best wrestler in the territory and he endorses PCW. So the in-ring product should not be at issue. And I haven't seen it to be critical.
I can however direct criticisms directly at the promotion of the events. Something as simple as Facebook, is completely ignored by PCW. The day Duggan announced his event, 1000 Facebook members received an invite.
Andrew recently had a comment attributed to him, where he said he invests money in the repair and maintence on his ring. How about investing money in the advertising of the product.
Duggan's CWE product secured a highly recognized local sponsor in Golden Tan for its first event, Steeltown is dependent on its sponsors, and here we have Shallcross, 6 years established in the marketplace, not having one sponsor, since 2002. And you can't count the hotel where you held your event, when he tried to present Astoria Inn as a sponsor.
My criticisms are well placed. He's been open in criticizing my efforts, but my efforts leave me with the legacy of PPV and TV. Something we all strive to when we enter this business.

Adam Knight? Well that would be a great example of "Stand By Your Man". Adam Knight threw a punch at me when I was on stairs offering a handshake. There is photographs of me later that night, taken by AJ Sanchez at the same bar, smiling and unmarked from the "violent attack".
I am not worried. Knight will likely throw another punch, and I will definitely press charges. That is my right as a citizen.

He and I rarely speak about local wrestling, and I am not his agent. I don't think he has left PCW, if he has he has not told me, but I haven't spoke to him nearly enough through the holidays. It would be a huge blow to PCW if he left.

Holy shit mike finally got some attention.. he hasnt had that since his awe/wfx days! omg but that was only 15 minutes of face because lets face it no matter how much you have to harp on the fact it had big names pay per views and a network deal... where is it now? The way to determin the success of a promotion is not to judge it by its 15 minutes of fame but its longevity.. so micheal davidson,, there was no success due to the fact they are still not around... PCW is though.

what does it matter if it's true that danny got his sponsor through his girlfriend? if that's true, then props to danny for recognizing a sponsor opportunity and cashing in on it. donald trump has made a career out of this exact approach to business. a paying sponsor is a sponsor no matter how you look at it. how the fuck do you think people get sponsorship in most businesses?? 9 times out of 10, it's through connections you have. what a fucking stupid comment - whoever wrote that has no idea how business works. sounds like something Andrew would say, based on similar petty comments he's made in the past about others.

Mike Davidson said...

PCW runs with a per show budget of $500. AWE spent more on camera equipment to produce one episode of TV than PCW spends in a year. Your comparison, is like comparing a lemonaide stand to Coca-Cola.

Danny got a sponsor, he'll probably announce a few more in the coming days. Kudos to him, its tough to do.

And I'd bet if you tapped Andrew's girlfriend, he'd probably tap you into the ground, so think about that before suggesting such a thing.

I've never heard such a ridiculous statement of promising to write a blog to celebrate 100 comments. I don't care if people stop commenting immediately, or if they carry this on.

One thing I do care about, if so many people have such a strong opinion of the impending CWE show, they buy a ticket, and educate themselves on the product so they can be informed when the comment.

Douche and downs syndrome and retard. That's classy. I allowed it to be posted about me, so it shows I'm posting everything.

Was there ever a AWE or WFX belt? The promotions folded so fast i dont think anyone ever saw them.

Mike Davidson said...

I would never allow AWE or WFX to use a knockoff mark strap to represent the company, so no we did not have a strap. It wasn't an affordability issue at all, it was a creative direction that we were building the brand before crowning a champ. PCW on the other hand believes in WWE merchandise is the perfect way to brand their company. Maybe they should change their performers gimmicks, to HBK, Undertaker and The Hardy's and just put cheap stickers on to show a slight difference. Just a thought.

I do have a dog, his name is Creed and he's the cutest dog ever.

Brian, if I were you, I'd consult with Mike Arnott, he's one hot commodity right now.

Thanks Ashley. Now everyone will say I'm commenting on my own blog.

The second PCW extended criticism of the choice of CWE's main-eventer, or openly criticized me, they invited the same onto them. Does anyone remember Jay Walker's halloween costume? It's a two way street I do it just as good. And comparing PCW's marketing to Shane Madison is fair, but consider Shane Madison in main-events drew 300 or better frequently, PCW can't draw 1/3 of that as a whole "team".

The PCW belt is a replica UFC belt. The tag belts are WWF Light Heavyweight belts.

Mike Davidson said...

Once again, thanks Ash. Appreciate it.

I agree with letting the two shows this month speak for themselves. I don't think it's at all fair to suggest PCW fans aren't mainstream, a paying fan has a right to react anyway they want. The idea of "mainstream fan" isn't as important as "paying fan" and as long as they appreciate the product they deserve respect.

Duggan is returning from an event in Minnesota, and is not commenting on this. I just read him the blog.

I think Andrew keeps asking what is up with Arnott. Obviously he fears Arnott is leaving PCW. That would be a major blow to the company.

It should be noted that Danny is not suggesting to anybody to not work PCW. It seems to me that it's a personal preference of a few guys to not accept PCW bookings. I could be wrong.

Any questions, concerns etc, email or call me

Why is he not “allowing” his guys to work this show? And who is dumb enough to listen to him? Its not like Danny would use any of those PCW guys besides Mentallo and Omega so its moot point anyways. Is mentallo doing this show? If so why is he allowed? How is Danny “hindering” his (shitty) business? He has 50 people at his show. If you had to pay $10 to watch Dannys show or Andrews what will smart people do? When Andrew has another shitty show on the 15th what will his reaction be? Will Royce be in the front row asking Dragon for autographs? Why can’t Andrew be a leader instead of a follower? He hasn’t wrote a blog in forever and only will do so now to defend himself. He brings in “imports” (stiffs them) because he has to because others do. All he does is react and copy people when his back is up against the wall. He is lazy and only works when pushed. Some leader. What kind of idiots (PCW crew) endorses his stupidity. Is Danny still a “dumb kid” like Andrew says? MOH seems to have come a long way. Andrew, please take a long walk off a short pier. Mike please address ALL of my questions since Andrew wont.

Anonymous said...

Change the words OUR to MY position, and then it would be more accurate. And since when could 1 man speak for a group of men, that sounds like something a dictator does.

Has he even ONCE said congrats to Mentallo for being the guy chosen for the spot, Danny could easily have chosen one of "his friends" but he didn't. Imagine that, a promoter bringing in a name and not working him or his buddy doing it. That's gotta be a first

Mike Davidson said...

Andrew feels he is owed the right to veto any wrestlers booking if they perform for PCW. His standard phrase, which I believe I actually coined in 2002 pushing exclusivity, is "I can't tell you that you can't work over there, but if you do, I can tell you that you can't work here." And if he lives to that, I would expect a wrestler or two to no longer be with PCW.
Two guys who have definitely fallen prey to Shallcross' influence are Adam Knight and Robby Royce, both of whom expressed interest in working the event and have since passed up a great opportunity. In defence of Royce and Knight, in 95 when Knight and I broke in and Royce was one of the guys shaping the local wrestling scene, business sense wasn't a big deal. Showing up at Chalmers bi-weekly and bumping for $5 was.
I speak to Danny daily, and the last thing Danny thinks about is whether PCW will be positively or adversely affected by his efforts, his only focus is ensuring that January 23 is a success, not just in his eyes as promoter/booker but in the fans eyes. He intends for this to be a regular event, and is already fully aware of where he wants to go with his product. I've often wondered if Shallcross thinks ahead with his product, because on any given month he's in an aliance with Ernie, then at war, he's badmouthing Steeltown, then trying to establish a working arrangement. It's so many contradictions.
I know if I was a wrestling fan with only $19 to spend on shows in January, $10 would be spent to watch American Dragon vs. Mentallo (which is one hell of a steal) in a match could well be a match of the year, $9 would get spent on the canteen. And no disrespect intended to Antonio Scorpio, who I think is deserving of every respect he gets, I'd read the internet critique of Mentallo vs. Scorpio.
If somebody is looking at Danny as a kid who doesn't know anything, I think they are mistaken, and his recent efforts are showing that.

Look, I don't dislike Andrew. This is not some political rift between he and I. On Friday he did something that was an ultimate asshole gesture, and that was commenting with a negative tone on a Name being brought in by another promoter.

Dating back to promoter squables past, as far back as 2001, I cannot think of a time where a rival promoter bad-mouthed the incoming import publicly, in an effort to justify his own insecurities. Except for Andrew Shallcross. And it was a shitty thing to do, not only to Danny his "rival", but Mentallo, and most definitely the fans who are excited at the prospect of this match. Andrew owes an apology, and to date we have not seen it.

Why can't wrestlers just take their own booking?

If anything I think this could spark some creativity within the bookers of said shows to do something different, be it with wrestlers characters on shows, push different guys and see what they can do to out do the "competition". Even bring in imports... If that were the case, wouldn't the fans be winning?

Mike Davidson said...

I re-state my point, $10 for American Dragon vs. Mentallo is a STEAL of a deal. And kudos to promoter Danny Duggan for bringing on the sponsors to allow him to keep his cost point affordable for such a highly anticipated match.

If fans can afford both shows, that's great and wonderful. If they can afford only the one, it's pretty easy to guess which one they will support. Andrew is 9 days away from his show "Stand By Your Man" also known as "Follow Your Blind Leader". Everything he's exuded from crew e-mails to a lack of class in congratulating Mentallo, to his lack of apology for back-handed comments at Bryan Danielson, reeks of a man who is full force panic mode.

PCW under Andrew Shallcross has always been a reactionary company not a visionary, and it shows when there is a "competitor" in the marketplace.

Danny didn't come out and do one thing to say he was competing with PCW. Yet PCW has made it clear that it intends to compete to the death with CWE and Danny Duggan. It will make for one hell of an interesting landscape locally in the coming months.

$10 is a hell of a steal! All I'm sayig is why not just run your own show. No worrying about "declining bookings" for your workers, do your own thing. If Danny is bringing in Danielson, and Andrew is going to attempt to bring in an import, albeit in spite of Danny, what's wrong with that? A little friendly competition has never been a problem, it's when promoter bring politics into things, that it becomes BS. Eiter way this should be an interesting month for Winnipeg wrestling, one of which I look forward to!

Since it was already mentioned - if you read the PCW website's "hype" for the Mentallo-Scorpio match, it's clear who Andrew has booked to win. The article tries to make a case for Scorpio being a title contender and says that if he wins, he will face Omega. Meanwhile, Mentallo is simply an afterthought. There is barely a mention of him - it doesn't say he'll get a title shot if he wins. It doesn't say anything. Way to give away your finish, Andrew. Is that match supposed to put asses in the seats?? Fuck off. PCW is so tired and boring. I wonder why wrestling fans don't come to PCW shows like they used to. Andrew's in complete denial.

Mike Arnott is the only manager the company has. I don't know if you're a fan of the good old heat days where Bobby Heenan or Jimmy Hart worked to help get talent more over, but that makes Mike a valuable piece to any show.

I came across a very good comment on another site i think this is a great comment

"I think everyone is missing the big picture, PCW will still be standing many years from now it has proven that, CWE if infact it does do what it says it will they might have a chance to be here years from now (as long as mike davidson stays away) If CWE takes off RME is going to have a problem, no one will want to watch there "talent" if you can watch top quality guys at PCW and CWE. SPW will also have a problem, no one will want to see poor quality guys there either. I bet no one will want to go to there training centre either once they find out the guys that are training them are some of the shittiest jobbers in Manitoba, Stardoms money will then dry up. So everyone is so worried about PCW? why? It will survive. RME, SPW and that other one that i dont remember the name of that runs the local Sally Anns will be the ones that take the fall. So everyone needs to calm down and get fucking ready for New Years Knock Out! Fuck yeah!"

Mike Davidson said...

The only big picture being missed is by the anaonymous poster.

Andrew will have a hell of a time bringing in an import. His 10 guys he's got left will dwindle, probably to 7. The four matches he blessed his fans with last show will sink to three.

Look at the PCW website:
On the front page alone I saw Shawn Houston and Jon Cutler.
Both guys have nothing to do with PCW, so that's close to false advertising.

SPW will survive and not be hindered in the least, their strongest business is still in markets like Selkirk, but I don't expect Doubles or their other Winnipeg venues to be affected.

RME hasn't been effected one way or the other back in the good ole days when PCW could bring TNA talent in, why would they when CWE brings in an ROH standout?

The company being affected the worst is PCW. It brings to light Andrew's inability to bring import talent to Winnipeg, for his ridiculous decision to stiff the highly respected Samoa Joe. What Andrew wouldn't do right now to get Chris Sabin or Alex Shelley, or Chris Daniels or AJ Styles.

Fans should support PCW. It's called a going out of business sale. 4 ok matches for $10.

Mike Davidson said...

I think Vince loves the model of 4 matches so much, that Wrestlemania this year will just have 4 matches. All singles. So that he can make a bit more money. A lot of sad, pissed off people with WWE contracts will not receive their regular Wrestlemania bonus.

If I were Andrew, going back to an earlier poster. I'd make it look obvious that Scorpio is supposed to win the match, then I'd have Mentallo win and become the number one contender. Setting up for Mentallo vs. Omega (the match that opened up Commencement of Cool in 2002) main-event the anniversary show. That would be a decent idea for a curve-ball, and not be uninspired booking.

Mecca said...

I have read some of the comments on here and I think a lot of people are missing the point.

Danny is not running a show in order to try to put PCW out of business. He just wants to run a good show.

Realistically he doesn't need any PCW talent on his shows. There is enough hungry talent available right now. Plus, with some of the U.S. guys it changes things up and gives the fans something different.

My understanding is that Danny asked a few PCW guys to work. There were some headaches and then he retracted his offers to 2 of them. It's very simple. Andrew does business the way he sees fit as does Danny. That is their right.

Danny is not promising the world. He is not promising big names, PPV or TV. All he is promising is a refreshing, good show. He has committed significant money into this project (far more than others) and is trying something different.

For $10 you can see Bryan Danielson! Personally I am pissed I'll be missing that show and I feel that it's one that will impress a lot of people. I am surprised it took someone this long to bring Danielson in (Mike was close in February 2006).

There should be no pissing contest here. This is Danny's company, his vision and his money. Danny has certainly influenced the local scene over the last year or so and has tried to offer his services to other offices. For whatever reason, they didn't want to use him because of stupid "exclusivity" reasons (again, the promoter's right) or they didn't listen to his ideas to improve the product (RME). Now, he is doing it his way. Good for him.

Give Danny a chance to see what he can do on his own. I bet some of you will be surprised.

are you attending the WWE show tommorow?

Anonymous said...

The last anonymous poster is clearly a bitter person in the wrestling business. I am a fan, and have supported any wrestling show, but most particularly AWE, WFX and PCW if they had big names coming in. A few of my friends will be attending with me to the show with Bryan Danielson. I've never seen him, but his reputation is that of an amazing wrestler, and I'd like to see it.

I believe that the post about Mike's personal sexual life was clearly made by either the PCW promoter or someone affiliated with PCW who was offended by Mike's colourful and entertaining opinion. As a result, I will never attend a PCW event again, and I will do whatever I can to make sure that anyone I talk to knows that PCW has no professionalism whatsoever.

That is a mockery of sports entertainment. During the Monday Night Wars would Vince go out and attack Eric Bischoff, even though it was pretty public knowledge that Bischoff and his wife were swingers? Nope it was offlimits, and now I can assure you with this latest stunt, PCW will be completely off limits with where me and my friends spend our money on wrestling tickets.

I know Mike, and this post was completely untrue. Trust me, and take it to the bank, I'd know.

Stick it Andrew.

Mike Davidson said...

LOL Christina, you make it seem as though we had a fling, but I only know of one "Christina" lol.

Don't be offended, this is a desperate time for PCW, and they would love nothing more for me to lay-off.

Simply put, what inspired this blog, was an asshole gesture by an out of touch desperate promoter, who made backhanded negative comments about American Dragon. After the blog, the simplist thing to do, to come out looking like a professional would have been to write a blog and unconditionally congratulate Mentallo for the opportunity.

He did not have to endorse the show, and he most definitely did not have to wish the show well publicly, and privately he could have continued to speak ill of the show. But he did not.

A lot of people have chalked this up to petty wrestling politics. I don't think for one moment that you can write this off as such. This was a very insecure person who couldn't stand that Mentallo, a wrestler for some reason that Andrew thinks he owns, going and attacking the credibility of a very solid opportunity.

If Mentallo looks at the present landscape, he has to notice that by taking all bookings as opposed to one PCW paying booking on average every 6 weeks, he will be 3 shows and 3 pay offs ahead. And it won't jeopardize his admiration of the fans, see AJ Sanchez as an example.

It is stunts like Andrew's that have put him in the quicksand that he currently finds himself in.

But thanks Christina.

I highly doubt that Dixon vs Raver, and Hardy vs Kaos would be considered "GREAT" matches, no offense to them.... Lest ye forget about the untrained Marty Labossier in the main event.

On a side note, can anyone confirm the rumor that Antonio Scorpio Jr. is jumping ship to CWE, regardless of what Andrew says? Scorpio has been no stranger to working under Danny Duggan's booking in other promotions.

Thanks!

CWE Canada's Wrestling Elite a "showcase" of top Canadian talent.

then why is the matches announced half full of imports?


just wondering

Mike Davidson said...

Back in the 1980's the World Cup of Hockey used to be called The Canada Cup, and believe it or not, Canadian hockey players didn't play with themselves, they actually played against other countries.

I can think of no better way to showcase Chevy & Sanchez then by giving the fans a match against one of the best tag-teams in the Mid-West, I think that will truly define what makes them elite. Same goes for Mentallo, what makes him elite if we see another Mentallo vs. ________ (insert PCW wrestler's name there), it's been done to death, it's not getting any newer or fresher. However watching him go 20 minutes with a World Class superstar, established in the US and Japan, will definitely have to enhance his elite status.

By bringing in some US talent will only make the show better, and ensure Danny's commitment to the fans to give them more than 4 matches to talk about.

Anonymous said...

Soooo in this canadian showcase it will be local canadian guys vs. imports from around the world... ummmm so that means that they canadian guys are going to win? If they dont how exactly is that a showcase of talent. So you either blew the booking and results or the imports are going to win and wont showcase canadian talent at all cuz no one remembers second place good going guys.. lol

Mike Davidson said...

MTS must have just had a shift ending judging by the last post...

How can anyone question the booking of top talents Chevy&Sanchez and Mentallo vs the best imports available? Only a company that believes 4 matches was an effective showcase of pro wrestling at their last event. Only a company that couldn't even draw a healthy house for an open-house, which was the first sign of desperate measures over there at Dylans.

Good luck PCW. Regardless of anything I might say you'll need it.

Anonymous said...

Wouldn't putting them in the matches with good talent be the way of showcasing them, or would it be putting them in matches with Dixon,Kaos,Labossiere,Marxwell.Raver be that way? I think not, what a douche. If you can't draw when it's free, you need to shut the F up.

Didn't Andrew once state that if he had to run a show where he had 4 matches and all the guys had to work twice he wouldn't do it? YES he did, you're NO better then Ernie and his tours now, well except he makes money.

Everyone talkes about BSB as if they were the greatest team in the world. If so what are they still doing wrestling in Winnipeg. Cutler signed with the WWE why has BSB not signed with the WWE. This elite thing is that a shot at ozz and the cwe a shot at the cwf. All danny warren will do is spend some money because rme or spw would not listen to his ideas and take shots at others. Billy Blaze is an elite wrestler. lol. Bobby Fox who by the way Duggan steals his hearttrob name from Chris Wayne is hardly elite. Duggan used to call merc on of the worst wrestlers in the city now he is booking him. Bobby Jay is elite when duggan used to put him down constantly as not being able to work. I thought this was going to be different it started out that way but it is nothing more than spw guys on a cwe show with one name brought in to work mentallo to piss off andrew and try to get pcw fans to come. Hardly an elite show just another local show with not so good local talent. It also sounds like danny warren is setting up rme and spw for a good screwjob finish. As a result I doubt me and my friends spend 10 dollars to see more undercard crap. A tag team no one has heard of and danielson is hardly a main stream name but i can see why danny warren booked mentallo as he needs to pcw fans in the seats as no one else will probably come but i doubt us pcw fans are going to come to see one match for 10 bucks. just waiting to find out which name danny is brining in to work himself.

So STD.. i mean IDV... FAILURE!

Mike Davidson said...

The anonymous poster referencing the BSB's is a PCW booster clearly.

Ok consider this, BSBs are still wrestling in Winnipeg. It doesn't make them lesser talents, at all.

Adam Knight- 13 years pro, still in Winnipeg without contract.

Robby Royce- 18 or 19 years pro, still in Winnipeg, and the only contract he's ever had was in 1998 when he told Steve Stryker that Terry Taylor was signing him to WCW. Of course, Taylor had already departed WCW to work for WWE and the contract appears to have been a figment of Royce's imagination.

Mike Angels- According to PCW talent guru, Andrew Shallcross, Angels is one of the most talented wrestlers in Canada. And I won't dispute he's good, but he hasn't been anywhere either.

Jon Cutler- who until he appeared on Raw in May, was considered by PCW talent guru Shallcross as merely average has a contract, and works for WWE.

If you don't think Mentallo vs. Bryan Danielson is worth $10 alone, then you sniff glue. Or wear your PCW heart on your sleeve, it's romantically foolish.

But the poster is clearly not a fan at all. Because there is probably no fan in Winnipeg (or anywhere outside of Alberta in fact), who buys tickets to shows who would have any incling of a clue who Chris Wayne was without googling him right now.

I enjoy watching all of this panic and desperation from the Andrew Shallcross stable of LOCALS.

Tell ya what. One week ago, Shallcross did something that only an asshole would do. He took backhanded shots at CWE's import, Bryan Danielson. What he should have done was openly congratulated Mentallo on what will be a huge match for him to start 2009.

The rest of the PCW boys, should wish Danny their best, Mentallo their best, and hope the show is undisputedly great. Afterall, if you weren't a bunch of followers, more successful wrestling shows, means more negotiating power to secure bigger payoffs.

My best guess is the CWE show is well on pace to have 200-300 fans in attendance (a sellout is 300). That's great for business.

Rip apart Bobby Jay, or Zack Mercury if you will. I'd book Zack over many LOCALs any day of the week. Zack will actually step up and bring people (the PCW LOCAL standard of drawing a house), he will make himself available to do charity work to help with the image of local wrestling he's definitely more photogenic than some or most. So shit on him all you want, but Zack is the guy who will be on the show that may sell out this month.

Now as for the rumour mill that PCW is going to announce an import of their to counter the CWE momentum. Shallcross is certifiably insane if he does that. It's a knee jerk reactionary move that will result it utter failure. The only way Andrew has ever drawn a house for names is by pressuring the shit out of his crew, and loading the show with over 20 LOCALS to push tickets. He currently by my best count has 12 or 13 wrestlers. Even if each one of them sells on average 5 (Royce can sell 20, Knight 1 or 2), that will only be 60-65 more tickets. Add that to the current draw of 60 people and 130 people to watch a name will reflect poorly on PCW.

So Andrew, pull the trigger, but the barrel of the gun is not pointed at your competition it's squarely on yourself.

I actually heard from a contact of mine that Andrew has been trying to secure a deal to bring Paul London. I wish him the best with that.

5. Andrew has a radio show? You're not kidding??

6. Let's assume Danny's wrestlers ARE bringing in a lot of the crowd. How exactly is that a BAD thing? Isn't that the definition of being a draw? How sad is it that Zack Mercury (one of the city's worst) has more drawing power than Kenny Omega (one of the city's best - and most anonymous athletes to anyone that matters).

7. Andrew has a radio show? How fucking lame. Only a fucktard like him would think that a radio show on U of W's radio station matters - 10 out of 10 people couldn't tell you that station's frequency on the radio dial. A big thank-you to Andrew for proving that he only knows how to take something which was created by someone else and then act like he accomplished something. First PCW, now this radio show. How fucking unoriginal and lazy! At least Andrew's consistent. And he even markets both of them even less than the people who came before him. That should lead us to PCW's new slogan: "PCW - the illusion of effort".
