If you had Shahid Khan money to start a wrestling promotion in 2001 what would be your direction?

How would you approach building your promotion?

So you would do everything Paul Heyman predicted back after ECW fell? Because I would do the same thing and I would hire Heyman on the writing staff as well

That's what the original MLW did, plus a mix of ECW/WCW guys that WWE didn't pick up. Of course they had no budget behind them.

Disagree completely

Sick of that bullshyt choreographed flippy nonsense. They need to bring back that gritty brawling wrestling style that Austin/HHH (2000)/ Foley used to do in the mainevent scene. Leave that cruiserweight style for the first match or something.

They need to lure known wrestlers from the WWE that fans are familiar with. This is how WCW worked. They wont get nowhere by giving random indie stars mainevent push

If someone wants MMA then watch MMA

I can honestly say i dont know how i would've created a mainstream juggernaut of a promotion back then.

TNA was a nice alternative but if i could've stolen a talent, i would have given the bag to a young Brock Lesnar & Shelton Benjamin and built my company around them.

I agree these matches are boring as shyt now. nikkas do a finish like 10 times in these mania matches like wtf.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Buy out Booker T and Scott Steiner contracts right away and build around them.

Buy up the young luchas like Rey, Psichosis, Super Crazy etc.

Put Stacy Keibler and Torrie Wilson in a gravy bowl match every week.

nikka she was 9

As much shyt as we give Vince owning a wrestling promotion sounds exhausting
