Start Your Own Promotion, Lighting Round Style

By Scott Keith on 6 February 2018

Hey Scott. You just inherited a ton of money and you're going to do what any sensible person would: start a wrestling promotion! These lighting round questions will help develop your brand:

1. Do you want the word "World" in your official name?

​Yes! Otherwise I'm just a regional hick promotion, pal! ​

​​


2. How many championships do you have?

​World heavyweight and tag team to start. After that, we'll talk. ​
​​

3. How many hours of live TV do you do?

​One 90 minute show every week.​
​​

4. What day of the week(s) does your live TV air?

​Thursday. ​
​​

5. Do you do network specials or go the PPV route?

​PPV. That's still where the money is. ​

​​


6. For your specials/PPV do you do Saturday night, Sunday afternoon, or just stick with Sunday evening?
​Sunday evening works for a reason. ​
​​

7. How many specials/PPV's do you do per year?

​4. ​
​​

8. Do you use jobbers?

​Of course! ​
​​

9. Do you bring talent in for a manager only role?

​One heel manager, no more. ​


Thanks for your answers. Now expect phone calls from Eric Bischoff and Hogan – they have everything you need to compete with Vince!
