Hi.
In short, 1PW Pain In The Park – is NOT going ahead. And 1PW will
not be running any more shows until further notice. If you would
like to know. Carry on reading. If not. At least you know
Why isn’t it going ahead? As it was well documented by myself, May’s
show went horribly wrong, due to nobodies fault but my own.
4AS – tried the way of running a show with a big attraction name,
and a few smaller Americans, it went ok. Nobody was left needing to
be paid. The only people that lost money were Myself, Chris & the
investors, which we could just about live with.
I was really deflated by it, and still dealing with some crappy
personal things I shut out everyone,
Will Not Cancel – we didn’t cancel, but again another show, another
loss.
The New Divide, with this I thought id try something different
again. Scrap the huge cost of a big import. And use that budget for
a number of mid / High card level guys. More attractions, more
casual fans.. right? The fact TNA had pushed a number of the guys we
had booked, only went in my favour so I couldn’t have picked the
better guys?
anyway. I went into new divide with a gate figure I needed to make.
Just Like i did at 4as (which we did make)
given the factors of id paid the venue to promote, id had a few
friends and fans promote there areas of Liverpool. I truly believed
we were going to sail into new divide, strong and in the plus side.
Pre ticket sales were not great, but with the issues of the web shop
earlier on in the year. Wasn’t a surprise.
So, the show comes and goes, you all know. Now Pain in the Park.
There are still a number of outstanding debts, which have yet to be
paid. There is a plan in place. And will become known soon as its
finalised to make sure the debts are settled. And when I feel its
more viable, and I can truly learn from previous mistakes. Then who
knows 1PW may well return. But as it stands I don’t think its wise
for me to continue running a promotion when 1) am still learning
too. 2) its losing too much money. 3) learn to know when for now am
beaten. I put so much effort and energy into the shows. Countless
sleepless nights, and for what? Something, somewhere, is still going
wrong. Speculate as much as you like. Give your opinions. That’s
great. Its easy to give this, but the old saying goes. “walk a mile
in my shoes” nobody can make me feel worse and pretty much a let
down then I already feel. But that’s life at the end of the day.
Fans of UK Wrestling deserve BETTER. there are to many scammers
here. all want to make a quick buck. i don't want to be one of them.
there are still good promotions out there, there is no shortage for
people that want a live wrestling fix. PBW, may be in Scotland, but
its so so worth the drive up for any fan. You’ve got FWA, they run
more around there UK now, there production values are some of, it
not the best in the UK. there is XWA. I’ve been in Morecombe and
Lancaster a lot these last few weeks, everywhere you look, there is
posters for there shows. They do look good. Attend these shows, and
give them the support you’ve shown 1PW over the years. I could carry
on listing promotions, but go find them in your own time, it will be
worth it.
Tickets.
only a really small amount of tickets were sold, and that will be
sorted asap too.
I wont be doing a runner here. But I may not also be able to respond
the quickest now a days.
I can be reached on here via PM, email: danny-rodd@live.co.uk or
sales@oneprowrestling.com am on Facebook “Danny Rodd” and am sure
even some of you may have my number.
So its not the end of 1PW, its just see you down the road.
