What is ironic is that Sheamus was trained by the IWW school not the DCW/CPW school.

Anything coming up in the Drogheda area soon?

Was only ever at one Irish promotion event a few years ago, it was in the Boyne Vally Hotel in Drog and was a disaster in so many ways (roof was so low they could barely slam each other, wrestlers late, main event somehow changed from a best of 3 falls to a single fall match after the first fall etc etc) but I won't let one bad event put me off forever...

He asks why DCW isn't drawing, look at the roster he promotes, there is not one guy on the roster that looks like they would have a shot in WWE

Well in fairness I still watch a local basketball match even though none of them could be in the NBA, ive payed to watch my local football team even though none could play in the premiership and ive attendined local productions of Trainspottin and the likes even though the actors are never gonna make it to Hollywood......just nice to give support to local sports and arts

People said the same bout seamus,tron and there in WWE, guys like Tucker could fit in WWE, when they had a cruiser weight division, and like the guy above said, We all go watch local sports and theater etc but you dont see people going ahh screw that why go see them there all a bunch of bum and weekend warriors theyll never make it etc Thats the kind of attitude hes on about in the video.

Who says the want to be in the Wwe? The be all and end all of wrestling is not the wwe. Sure wwe doesnt even want to be even mentioned in a sentence with word wrestling. And who said dcw arent drawing? I have been to 3 dcw shows. Mania, Blanch Bash and at the cavan festival yesterday. for an indy show in ireland they didnt have a bad crowd. Sure they didnt have 1000 people but tell what irish promotion can draw that without having a legion of former wwe guys appearing? The cavan festival show had a large crowd at least a couple of hundred people. and it was one of the hottest crowds i have seen at any wrestling show. They were really into and enjoyed what was happening in the ring. Now I'm not here to defend dcw or offend any other promotion. I'm just stating my opinion.

There are many many many wrestlers in the world today who wrestle regularly all over the world and its not with wwe. The majority of guys who train to be wrestlers do so because they love wrestling. Sure many would love to make it to wwe but then again at the same time i'm sure there are many who are quite happy touring the indies.

My point really is that you cant judge small indie promotions to wwe and why does it matter if a guy would look like he could make it in wwe. the main word there is "look". how is a wrestler supposed to "look"? 6'6 with a bodybuilder body? Pure BS! Wrestlers come in all shapes and sizes. just look back at wrestlers from the past hell even guys who are wwe hall of famers. they didnt have six packs and muscles coming out their ears.

What good is a guy with a body if he hasnt got the ablity to wrestle? Wrestle is the key word here. When it comes down to it, if i had to go to a show tonight and i had the choice to go to wwe in the 02 costing 70 quid or go to a dcw/iww/nlw/msw show for 10 quid and I want to watch wrestling, well forgive if i decided to go to a show that only draws 100 people. there are tons of guys on the irish scene who may not have "the look" but damn it they can wrestle. some maybe better than others but they can.

To every irish wrestler out there who has stepped into a ring I salute you!

Mates i think its worth noting dat these lads arent makin much money. so they probs cant kill themselfs in thr gym like the wwe lads can.

Aswell as dat the wwe lads full time job is wrestlin. most indie lads are workin regular jobs aswell. so they cant dedicate 24/7 to wrestlin related tings (diet,gym,tan etc etc) as it costs a good amount.

like whiplash sed. ther "look" has nothin to do with ther ability. bingo balance is pretty skinny, but dam hes a gud wrestler! same can be sed about vic viper. hes not got a 6 pack, but i tink he looks dam gud for an indie guy.

ireland has sum top talent imho. i tink yer man ger murphy was sayin its sickenin to see 1000s of ppl go to a wwe house show, but the same ppl wont bother with a home grown company.

but tbh i can understand a caasual fan tinkin its busch league stuff. in everyting, the smaller, or lesser known is always considered 2nd rate.

tho i tink those who ARE aware of the talent need to make a biggr effort to support local wrestlin. i know i cud be.
