It's been a long time since I was in a real TV studio. And I thought technology was great in the radio business. There are no longer cameramen and women. Robotics run all the cameras that are used for your nightly local newscasts. And then things they can do are awesome. Heck my new TV producer J.L. Thrush made me even look good while filming new editions of APWF Central.
Channel 2 in Dayton is the home of our new wrestling TV show called Gem City Wrestling. Dayton is known as the Gem City, while Cincy is called the Queen City. So now you know the meaning of it. It will debut after the first of the year, and air on Channel 2, which used to be the site of filming for Georgia Championship Wrestling. You could feel the vibe, when my new partner J.L took us on a tour, of where they used to shoot TV.
So just as I was about to announce who The Sheik would be wrestling in the APWF in Feb. 2010. My phone rings and new commission Maverick McCoy holds me off. Its down to a couple members of the APWF roster. I have to salute guys like Ryan Mitchell, who stepped up willing to wrestle this madman! I'm not kidding! Having seen The Sheik work in Florida, one has to be nuts to be willing to get in the ring with him. We'll announce next week, just who that person will be.
Hey if you think Western PA can be dog eat dog in indy wrestling. Ohio is no different. We launched the NWA East/Heroes of Wrestling back in May, and did our first show in September. Then we announce our new TV show. So what does someone do? They form a new promotion called SUPER heroes of wrestling. WHAT? Come on! What is the matter with people? Well, they run in flea market, so what would you expect?
I didn't see it, but I read that the recent "Turning Point" PPV was really good. And while I have Dixie Carter on my Facebook and Twitter, I heard it from fans who just watched the show. Glad it was strong. Just hoping that this Hulk Hogan signing works, and makes the whole industry stronger. Remember the days when the indies even drew like crazy? I miss those days with a packed RAH Arena in Indiana, PA.
I always had three goals with starting the APWF. 1) Get one of our guys to the WWE 2) Get a TV show 3) Do shows that are remembered like Smokey Mountain. Failed at ALL of the above. Got close a couple of times, but still denied. Lets see if I can do better on #2 with this TV show in Ohio.
Have a great week, and keep checking back to apwfwrestling.com for more updates!
