Jiji Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 In the WOR interview, Cody said something that made it sound like it'd be with Highspots or ROH if it were streamed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Would it be free for Honor Club or at least Honor Club VIP? Would they get a cut of HC subs? Ditto if they did it through NJPW World. Highspots makes sense, I didn't think of them. I just figured FITE because that's where ROH iPPVS are if you don't use Honor Club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 IIRC, it was something along the lines of remaining loyal to people or something like that and BC has done a decent amount of work with them in the past. It would also be more of a neutral choice than ROH. I'm guessing they'd have to pay companies a pretty hefty fee to use some of their talent on a stream (doubly so if it's live), so it's cool that they didn't have to touch their marketing budget.

(BP) Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 It's a diplomatic and company-friendly response. If he actually thinks like that, well...he's certainly very well compensated relative to most people whose brain has been completely cooked by their employer. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagan Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 The more I think about it, the more I think they shouldn't try to live stream this. There are a few reasons: - I think a big part of this is that this is some "underground cool anti-WWE thing." It's Cody/The Bucks and 10,000 of their closest friends having a party to show corporate wrestling that the DIY spirit is alive and well. Streaming it has it become just another wrestling show. - How confident can you be that the demand won't crash any streaming site? Look at the shit that WWN and ROH has gone through? There are a large portion of the WWE mob that wants this show to fail, be shitty, be an embarrassment, so any issue at all will have the Bix's and Twitter journos and trolls shitting all over it, no matter if the show is any good or not. PROGRESS got buried for having a venue be hot once. Why even deal with it? - This show showed the the demand far exceeded the supply. Make people want to be there. Make people regret not being there. Then you can build for the next step. Barring this being some Heroes of Wrestling-level debacle, wrestling media coverage is gonna be sympathetic, at the absolute minimum. The play I would do is see if Hot Topic would sell this as a DVD, the same way they do with live concerts. All the people who make a point to buy every BC t-shirt would definitely purchase this show after the fact. So yeah...I get that the easy money play is to air it live but I think the smarter long-term play is not doing it. And, for whatever you wanna say about the Jacksons and Cody, they have played the long game as well as anyone in wrestling the last few years. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I agree with not streaming it. The potential for disaster would sabotage all the good buzz. Better to make it available after the fact. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better to make it available after the fact. Absolutely agree. Take no chances on screwing up what is bound to be a very good thing. Even if the matches are lackluster (which I seriously doubt that they will be considering the talents involved), it's still a party for 10,000 people that VKM isn't invited to. That alone makes it worthwhile. I will so be buying the the DVD when available. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there something about this event that is making it more egregious? I'm just a little baffled why this is such a talking point. As mentioned in the MYC thread, Deonna Purrazzo has reportedly signed with NXT, which makes her the first All In competitor to be signed. Assuming she’s being brought in for the MYC, I’m guessing she’s all out now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joseph2112 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 From what I can tell, only around 5-600 aftermarket tickets out there. My guess is the place is going to be packed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Gotta hand it to Cody. He sold 10k tickets for him facing Nick Aldis for a title that hasn't meant anything in almost a decade. His old man is smiling down on his boy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't the show sellout before Cody vs. Aldis was even announced? Selling 10k tickets on the strength of Bullet Club is fucking awesome. I can't wait until the show is out on dvd.

Archibald Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I believe title match was announced just before they started selling tickets. But yeah, I don't think that anyone really bought a ticket due to that announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the top Indies worked more closely together this probably could've happened 10-15 years ago but either way, these guys pulled it off. It shows the power is in the talent and I think that is important to show that guys can creat a buzz without the Machine of Vince. I'm wondering what comes after this. How many of these shows a year could they do? Could they even get the talent they had, and get a promotion out of it if they really wanted to take a risk/be ambitious.

I don't think there's a lot of national money an in super-indie promotion. At least not yet. There's no way possible that the All In roster could compete with WWE at all from scratch. It could surpass ROH and Impact easily, especially if you fleshed it out with a lot of LU folks. Also you'd probably have to keep good terms with NJPW and probably CMLL. It would be a process- though I think if anyone could pull it off- it would be Cody. Would be a better waste of his money than Clash of Clans.

Wyld Samurai Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 They'd need a really good broadcast team to make it watchable. Who could they get that's even bearable for the DVD pbp and color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Lord Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I'm surprised with Okada being on the show, they haven't made a deal to have NJPW World stream the show. Doesn't have to be live. But if they were gonna stream, might as well use a service that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
