Okay, Mike. It's been 8 years since I last saw you and your company - and I'm sold before I've even started the video. I'll make my own wrestling company - stay tuned.

Congrats on the longevity you have on youtube! It seems like the state of PA doesn't want wrestling in their state any longer. The prices for everything are just too high. I am one person who was trying to get a promotion set up in my home town of Philly and they expect me to pay 10k for the commission, pay for a doctor to be at the event, pay for a commission rep to be at the event, insurance for the event, pay for this that and the other. Some of those expenses are of course needed, but wow does it seem impossible to get the money for all of that.

Damn Mike, i really wanted to make a pro wrestling company, cause in my country there no such a wrestling business here, but i dont get many support, from my parent, friend and society on where i live, its really make me sad, cause im still young enough to do it, and i really hope someone made a pro wrestling company before me, or i got my spirit again to make my own promotion, thank you Mike for this video!

Awesome video Mike 💯 I'm glad to see you helping giving advice for people who are wanting to get into the pro wrestling business ... And I've been watching alot of classic Chikara podcast a go go episodes your a legend my friend 🙏

[HKBrevan]

Thanks for posting Mike! Many young people know and find out promoting is usually not a good idea but with a simple change of mindset and putting your mind and body in a place where you have a vision for your business success then you could make yourself a silver lining on a dark cloud

[devpanda]

[delmerjunior]

Happy Anniversary Mike! Keep on doling out that helpful info!

[CPUSportsNetwork]

Excellent. This is why you were always one of my first signings on the Promotion Wars game back in the day!

[PhillyTWI]

I've been devouring the videos about running your own promotion. So, after going through it, I'm starting a promotion in the Mayfair/Holmesburg neighborhood of Philadelphia.

[RyanTheNaturalTorrence]

Im working on starting a promotion this summer in my area there is nothing here do you think a 5 match show would be exceptable

[alternative]

Thanks for the tips, it is now time for me to become the world champion of my own promotion using my power as an executive and only hire ex-WWE guys and job the indie chumps during my reign of terror.

[earlgrayteabeard]

First time finding this channel, will watch this series and see what I can apply from it to the United Kingdom's wrestling scene, hopefully I can make a promotion soon

Hi Mike, I love Pro Wrestling, and its been my dream for a long time to get into the business. As a college student with a summer internship, I don't think I have the time (nor the funds) to train and really dedicate myself to the sport. However, I think that I could be of great use behind the scenes, whether it would be as a booker, or just on the business side of things. Do you have any advice on reaching out to people to find some sort of opportunity?

[haydenjohnston]

Hey man, great video. I really wanna start up my own company, the main thing just seems to be financing. I’m 21 with a good paying job but also have my own house, any guidance on ways to get money for stuff? I’ve volunteered for ring work at Indy companies but seems like they don’t like passing knowledge. I’m from Georgia and was trained by Robert Gibson for a few years, wanna pass on the tradition I got to have as a child. Thanks

[seanyoung]

Thanks Mike! For everything! Don't know how many times I've been told I should start a company. LOL. But as the year wraps up, I'll just head off into the sunset.

[BrodieGH]

I live in Australia. We have a decent scene here, but I wonder could a Women's Only company work?

This guy has won over 30 championships in the Indies, that's impressive

[DarkDuckGaming]

I'm excited to start something that leans into the sillier side of pro-wrestling in a way that isn't being done where I am. I have match concepts & presentation ideas all ready to rock 😊

[The_Realm_is_Real]

Im interested in the idea of a promotion but having difficulty taking your personality seriously.


But thanks.
