I mean he has proven that there is a limit at which he stops saying no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sublime Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 The surprise is going to be WWE got Kenta Kobashi to come out of retirement for one more match and it’s going to be against…….Triple H!!!!!!!’ But due to HHH’s health it will actually be a match played out on WWE 2k22 with a Kobashi CAW but one that still has all the default moves. Half way through the match a Misawa CAW will come out and hit HHH with an emerald frosion but Trips kicks out and ends up pedigreeing both of them wins and then the real HHH will cut a promo about being the game and he’s that damn good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wont find it on Linked In but JC was also an independent promoter in the Cleveland area. He was part of the team that started AIW but they had some big dramatic falling out so he started a rival company. Lots of local indy drama before AIW had really got on the map. Talking '07 - '09ish. In the split EC3 & Ray Rowe went with JC to his company Firestorm. After a year or two it kind of fizzled out. EC3 got the TNA gig and I think JC moved down to Orlando around that same time. I think he also helped produce EC3's banger TNA theme music too, that Trouble Trouble Trouble deal. So he does have a background in the business, just not anything that exceeded local independent level. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Control the Narrative potentially getting a TV deal before GCW is...weird. I figured after the success of Dark Side of the Ring that at the very least Vice would start airing weekly wrestling, but all they did was have MLW on for a short period of time if memory serves. GCW seems perfect for Vice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kafkonia Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Hey, if it works, more power to them. I'll be really surprised, because I don't believe for two seconds there will be "no agendas" and I'm not sure how you'll do a tv show with no contracts, but the more alternatives the better.

There was some real bad blood between AIW and Firestorm that went way beyond flyers being torn down. If I remember correctly they had people go to JC shows and bully the guy. They tried to get shows shut down, and it was pretty bad for awhile. Michael Hutter and Jimmy Demarco were in there with this and I remember Ray Rowe, John McChesney, and Shane Taylor as well. Some of the show titles from each promotion were shots on the other. Cleveland could have had 2 strong promotions but they essentially drove JC off to Orlando. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I lived in Dallas I could see going to one or two of the shows. I remember the days when an autographed 8 x 10 was $2 black & white and a big $3 for a color one. I have a hard time paying for them now. Nowadays Lucha guys will sign stuff or take photos for free, but they make up for that with the masks for hundreds of dollars.

Do you have any of the old DVD's? It's difficult to find the shows. Ray and John used to sell them at their gimmick tables at IWC but I haven't seen them in over a decade.
