JRV Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 How bad are we talking about here? It's just not even a pro-wrestling show. ps. Yes, I understand now that I could have known this beforehand. It's just that I have fond hazy memories of KOTDM toruneys from the 2000s, saw this on XWT and decided to give it a chance. I realize now that IWA-MS has long moved into the backyard.

cool arrow Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 and company longevity (as of 9/30/2015) ECW - 12 years 9 days (starting with Tri-State) Confused here. Tri-State and ECW were two different companies, were they not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritenaut 32 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 and company longevity (as of 9/30/2015) ECW - 12 years 9 days (starting with Tri-State) Confused here. Tri-State and ECW were two different companies, were they not? Tri-State Wrestling Alliance became Eastern Championship Wrestling became Extreme Championship Wrestling. Tri-State Wrestling Alliance was the original name of the promotion. Tod Gordon renamed the promotion "Eastern Championship Wrestling" when he bought out the original promoter, Joel Goodhart (IIRC, Gordon already was involved financially in Tri-State, but was basically just the money mark and Goodhart ran the promotion).

odessasteps Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Chikara also started in 2002, but they also had that hiatus of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bustronaut Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Yeah, the last time I did a longevity count people got on me for not including the Tri-State run, so I did this time. As for Chikara, I just went with "Theoretical #2 promotions" that had national TV deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caley Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Yeah, the last time I did a longevity count people got on me for not including the Tri-State run, so I did this time.

Valcourt Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Drew Gulak was on Cokts AOW and Colt mentioned HHH referring to wrestling message boards and insinuating by boards he means Twitter. Colt then asked if message boards are even a thing for wrestling anymore, which got me thinking... I know guys like NAylor and Hero have posted here and a few others, but does anyone think this is one of the better boards in terms of actual discussion and information regarding wrestling? Or even the best board? What are other comparable boards (I literally do not know)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinit Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I like the old school stuff on wrestlingclassics and other than here, the only other board I frequent is PWO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSmUgly Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I read PWO for their projects and podcasts. They are wonks about pro wrestling, and I mean that in a purely complimentary way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BP) Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 PWO is a great resource if you're trying to learn about the territories or get good match listings for certain wrestlers. This board is the most fun though, and the WOTD and Lucha sections have a lot of great wrestling talk if you get tired of making fun of Hogan or TNA or Davey Richards (like that'll ever happen.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spritenaut 32 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 This is the only wrestling-related board I post on. This is the only tv/movie/comic-related message board I use, too. I'm almost positive reading multiple variations of "Bray Wyatt should main event WrestleMania for the next 20 years. Oh, and Cena sux and Sting wasn't a draw" would drive me insane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Well we've discussed Sting's drawing ability before. I do have a PWO account. Think I've posted there less than half a dozen times though, at least once because Matt insisted I join a thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
