Verklagt DGUSA TNA, Young Bucks und Richards?

[Double F]

Aber die Top-Guys wird man booken!!

Klar gibts viele, aber die Top Jungs werden alle schon vergriffen sein, wenn man bis jetzt noch nicht gebooked hat!

[Silk]

Wen verstehst denn unter den Top Guys? ;)

[Double F]

Naja ich würd mal so sagen, dass das Aries, Black, Wolves, Bucks, King, Steen, Cabana, Generico, KoW, usw...

Die sind auf jedenfall bei ROH, Bucks natürlich TNA!

Dazu noch die PWG´ler des dortigen ME. Sind sicherlich auch dort gebooked, die übrig bleiben. Haben ja glaub ich auch ne Show an dem WE, oder?
CHIKARA bin ich mir jetzt nicht so sicher...

Und deshalb glaub ich, dass da nicht mehr so viel bleibt!! :winke:

Denn die Indy-Elite findet sich ja meiner Meinung nach in den 3 Ligen wieder. Also auch die Draws.

[Silk]

Nuja rein theoretisch gibt es noch genug Wrestler von CHIKARA (die werden imo aufgrund ihrer Partnerschaft bei DGUSA auftreten), ... dann kann man noch CZW und IWA MS nehmen .... AAW wird welche potentiell zur Verfügung stellen ... mit LA PARK (La Parka) und Jack Evans scheint man aktuelle Lucha Libre Stars zu nehmen ... wann die nächsten PWG Shows sind, weiß ich jetz garnet, CHIKAA hat an dem WE auf jeden Fall keine Show, sondern am WE davor .... PWG ist eher Pro-ROH zu orientieren von seinem Kader...

[Double F]

Ok, aber ich find die Draws sind doch eher bei PWG und ROH...;)

[Silk]

;) Sei dir nicht so sicher ... Draws ist auch relativ für jede Liga anders zu bemessen ... nen Kenny Omega kann bei PWG 1000 Leute (übertrieben gesagt) locken, an der Ostküste krägt dann bei AAW kein Hahn nach ihm.
Theoretisch kann jeder überall auftreten .... bis auf Davey Richards.

[Double F]

Bis auf Davey Richards

Klar bei Indy ist das schwer zu sagen, aber ich denke mal, dass die meisten die von mir genannten kennen!! :=:

Update:
TNA und DGUSA haben sich geeinigt und somit werden die Young Bucks am WrestleMania Weekend ihre letzten Auftritte für Dragon Gate USA haben.

Und auch Gabe Sapolsky gibt zu dem ganzen Richards Geschehen via MySpace noch seine Meinung für alle Welt kund:

The final words on a terrible week or so

This past week or so sucked. I'm not going to lie and try to put some kind of positive spin on it. It was just plain ugly. I'll even go so far as to say it was the worst time I've ever had at this job since I started in late 2001. However, last Thursday night while I was driving everything just hit me. Learn from it, Let it go, get up, dust yourself off and move forward. On Friday morning I woke up and felt great, refreshed even. I'm going to write a short little piece in this blog and then I'm done with it.

I am a trusting person until I'm given a reason not to trust someone. 95% of the time that trust pays off as there are a lot of good, honorable people in independent wrestling. I like to think I have good instincts when dealing with people. I have worked on verbal agreements since 2002. When a man looks me in the eye and assures me of something repeatedly, I take his word on it. I don't advertise anyone or anything until I am 100% confident that they are committed. I take advertising something very seriously. I know when you buy a ticket to a show that you are spending your leisure time and money on us. You deserve to get what is promised to you. Now things happen. Planes don't take off. Wrestlers get injured. There are circumstances beyond our control when it is just not possible to deliver what was advertised. However, if it is humanly possible to make a show, I expect people to keep their word, especially when they have made countless promises and assurances to me spanning several months. Especially when they have expressed such a strong desire to move on from their old company and help build something new and have done this time and time again over months in many different ways.

The one thing I was shocked about was some of the feedback I saw around the Internet. There were people saying "oh it's independent wrestling and this happens" or "verbal agreements mean nothing." I just don't see how people can be so accepting of this. You pay money to see what is advertised. You get in your car, drive sometimes a far distance, give us your Friday or Saturday night, you deserve what is advertised unless it is impossible to deliver. When you buy a ticket to an event I am a part of it is my duty to do everything I can to deliver what is advertised. It is the least we owe you, the paying consumer. For you to be accepting of anything less is absolutely mind-boggling to me. You deserve much more than that. The trust between me and you is just as important to me as the trust between me and the wrestlers. That trust is built on delivering what you pay to see.

The issue this past week wasn't a wrestler moving on and signing a new contract with another promotion. I've never kept talent from moving on and making money or exploring opportunities. I know my place in the food chain. The issue was finishing up the dates a talent let himself be advertised for. That is all that can and should be expected. Even WWE, which could squash any independent promotion like an ant including DGUSA and EVOLVE, makes sure its wrestlers keep their word and finish advertised dates. That's something I always respected about this corporate giant. Finally, I do want to thank TNA for doing the right thing by the fans and letting The Young Bucks work the DGUSA shows in Phoenix. Now I've said my piece.

That's it. It's over with. It's in the past. I learned from it and will be better in the future. The focus is now on EVOLVE on March 13th in Rahway, NJ and Dragon Gate USA's first doubleshot on March 26th & 27th in Phoenix. March is going to be a heck of a month. I started working on new lineups last night and we have some exciting stuff in store for you. If TNA didn't pull the talent in 2004 there would never have been Generation Next. If Steve Corino made the Chicago booking there never would have been the five star Samoa Joe vs. CM Punk match, which in turn led to my favorite all time moment when Austin Aries defeated Joe for the belt two months later in Philly. It isn't about what happened in the past now, it's about what you make of it for the future. I promise you the future is going to be very exciting and memorable. We are fired up as Sean Casey and Tommy Rich like to say.

On a different note, I am getting a little tired of Myspace. I notice fewer and fewer people seem to be on it. The kids seem to laugh at me for even using it. I'm thinking of moving this blog over to Blogspot and making it more of a diary type thing that really details being a part of two independent promotions. It would also continue to feature some in depth stories from the past like you've come to expect from this blog. I am a little nervous about moving since many of you are accustomed to coming here, to the tune of 158,000+ hits. What do you think? Will you check out a more updated blog on Blogspot? Do you have any other ideas on where I can take this blog? Leave a comment and let me know. Thank you for reading.
