    Well these shows are generally aimed at children, so I don't see why there should be a massive difference in price. Like I said, £10 has been the standard price in the UK since the WoS days, so €10 would actually be slightly cheaper than that.

    12 Euro adult ticket to CCW show and ten for kids, FECKIN promoter must be having a joke.
    To answer your queries Production Head & Monty Rebel. CCW has no affiliation with the defunct DCW. And have been quiet clear from the start about that both on boards and on our facebook page. We are aware of a fake Ger Murphy page on facebook at the moment posing as the runner of CCW. If you have been added by this page with the ccw logo on it we encourage you to report it as it is someone falsifying Ger Murphy's identity and our brand.
    To answer your query on the debut shows pricing , similarly to NLW in order to give the audience the most professional vibe and pro wrestling feel we have booked a relatively expensive venue which caters for the image we want to provide the fans with. Like NLW suggested also better sound, lighting etc I believe taking this into account 12 euro is not a big ask.
    Finally in relation to where our shows will be when we decided to set up CCW, it was to fill the gap for the lack of pro wrestling in the South. So initially shows will be Cork based, with Waterford, Limerick and Kerry also to follow. If people are interested in coming bus trips can be organised. If anyone has any questions or queries in relation to CCW please feel free to mail our facebook page. Thank you.

    Fair play mate, you're the first new company that I've seen sprout up (at least in the South, not that familiar with the Northern scene) recently that fills an actual gap in the market by targeting the location you're aiming for.

    There's a massive pro-wrestling following down there, we used to consistently pack The Forum in Waterford with Irish Whip every few weeks back in the Whiplash days. Good luck to you and I wish you well!

    There was a few good matches the battle royal was good, Good to see Irish Dragon back but not happy to see him losing out at the battle Royal, was speaking to a guy Kennedy or something anyway he was telling me he was great at the other promotion company but isn't getting pushed much, other than that enjoyable night, just shame they had to use spot lights as the hall/venue lights didn't seem to work

    I went to it myself

    Standard Irish independent wrestling with the usual mistakes (a personal one being it clashed with the Liverpool match)

    They need a new/bigger ring, lose ropes lead to mistakes and the canvas sounded like a pillow

    Most matches played it safe and covered most of the styles you would expect to see

    Few familiar faces on the card and @ the show (shame vic viper didn’t wrestle)

    I’ve seen better and I’ve seen worse, but for a tenner the casual fan would be kept more than happy

    Pictures I took

    Looked like a tiny crowd at that show and I find MSW events to generally be the most populated out of all the Irish shows, how many people were there?

    Im guessing 50 or so , as I said Liverpool where playing so a lot of Daddys and little Johnnys would be watching that.

    MSW did promote it with flyers around the doors and the usual shop window posters etc to their credit

    Looks like there is hardly anyone there!
    Bloody terrible. Why can't wrestling draw better in this country? Even just 200 people. Its not alot. Nothing compared to WWE. Sure cant the o2 arena hold 10,000 people or something? And WWE sell that out. 200 people would only be 2% of 10,000. And Irish indys cant even get that?

    The messed up thing is that irish indys try. Flyers around doors... shop flyers etc. I remember going to a few IWW shows in 2005 & 2006. Wasnt unusual to see 100+ crowd. What happened like?

    A face-2-face interview with NLW Champion "Suicide Machine" Paddy Morrow and "Lord of the Manor" Sir Paul Tracey ended in turmoil when both men began to brawl around the ring. Referees and wrestlers had to break the two apart. Morrow and Tracey would later face off for the title in the main event.

    In a 6 Man Tag, Philly The Kid, Sammy D & Jordan Devlin defeated Rough Stuff & Pierre Marcaue.

    OMEN pinned 'The Housewives Favourite' Darragh O'Donnell.

    "Scum of the Earth" Robbie Morrissey beat Shawn Maxer

    Team MEGA defeated Team Epic in a No Holds Barred Match to retain the Irish Tag Team Titles. The match saw the use of steel chairs, a table and many other weapons.

    "Delicious" Dunkan Disorderly & Bonesaw defeated "All Star" Anthony Idol & Tucker.

    "Suicide Machine" Paddy Morrow defeated "Lord of the Manor" Sir Paul Tracey in a 20 minute showdown for Morrow's NLW Title. The two brawled all around the Moat Theatre, resulting in Tracey falling down the stairs at one point and Morrow allowing fans in attendance to chop Tracey's chest.
    Morrow got the 3 count on Tracey after a Swanton Bomb.

    I heard the main event is the 2 promoters against each other in a wrench on a pole match, seriously why is DCW coming back?. Its an embarrassment.

    Cheers.

    If it was just standard bitter Wrestler bitching I wouldn't have posted it. But Bam is as harsh on himself as he is on other people so for me at least that establishes at some level creditability. He also looks at situations from the other person's POV in a lot of the stories too.

    Nah would have loved to have gone but am way too much of a Eurovision junkie! :o How did it go anyway? Would love to see far more of these over 18 events. It's high time the Irish scene started getting the finger out and trying to cultivate a more mature audience the likes of which you get in countries like Germany, Canada and the States. It just takes a bit of imagination and clever marketing. Well done for this initiative lads and for others that have been put on in recent years! Now get your asses down the South East here one of these days and target WIT and places like that for starters. :cool:
