    Sorry but there aren't good and they are difficult to follow. Reviews of the shows have detailed how your booking steps all over your matches with run ins, swerves and authority angles up and down the card. They seem to be tone deaf and masturbatory in the main especially the non-wrestler stuff. I've never seen praise for any of your storylines or angles on or offline. The youtube videos are good for a giggle and Dublinisms in a Wrestling context but that is it.

    I know how you react to criticism over the years so I expect little of this message to get through.

    Like a Wrestling show and not a WWE/TNA television taping especially when I dont have a TV show. Id book simple angles that EVERYONE can understand and a small number of them so people remember them. At this level Id avoid power strugglez like the plague.

    Dude just t note I think your doing a great job with all the promos and youtube vids, and personally Im always waiting for the results to pop on boards.....unfortunately I havent been to a show yet.....but i enjoy reading bout em so keep up the good work :)

    and dont get disheartened by people having a go at DCW. Some people do tend to be cynical on Boards but others do just give their honest feedback in hope their opinion is heard.

    Hold on I am not having a go here. I am giving my honest feedback here. I know more and more about the non-wrestlers in DCW than I do about the wrestlers.

    Great post.

    DCW is an Attitude Era tribute show rather than a Wrestling show.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4 furry_nipple


    maybe it has something to do with this?


    are you actualy competing with wwe now hahaha and mate in my book 2 hundred seems a good draw american idie places get lik 20 to 50

    i cant wait to see danny kong bundy winning his matchs by pinning to 5 instead of 3 and who will do the hulk hogan v andre slam when are they tributing the 80's?

    Take a chill pill furry nipple.

    There's a post you don see everyday.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,773 ✭✭✭Sirsok


    You could make comparisions anywhere in wrestling......Stone cold ripped off Sandmans gimmick......Abyss was apparently TNAs Mankind/Kane character cause he was tall, hardcore and had a Mask.....Oh WWE copied WCW by givin Umaga an undefeated streak......DX was just a rip off on NWO cause they were a faction and had xpac to.....tis a stupid argument as they all ended up standin out in their own right

    When your main influence is something in particular its always gonna shine in your work, however you gotta add your own flavour to it, which DCW is trying to do......same with music


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 146 ✭✭Rawm2008


    ITs not dave power posting its some twat,

    To the BEW guy, are your shows going to be all irish talent or you bringing guys in? Also you first card is super stacked just on the gimmicks alone, who the hell you get to do flaming tables?

    No one wants to see any promotion fail, its just the way you present the shows, its a bit OTT.

    I have enjoyed the DCW shows apart from the April show I think it was.
    Also some of the angles/storylines dont make sense.

    Brusier wins the title, loses it the next show to Vic Viper.
    Danny Deans becomes number 1 contender, Bingo Ballance gets a title shot.
    Irish Dragon challenges Vic for the title at the Artane show and is accepted.

    A) Why hasnt Bruiser had his rematch?
    B) Why did Irish Dragon(Who lost the #1 Contendor match to Deans) get a shot at the title before Bruiser & Deans?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 146 ✭✭Rawm2008


    Then won the title, and now bruisers who storyline of kill warren, kill Murphy and then beat vic for his belt gone out the window, seems the book themselves into a corner every now again cause they have so many, its not tv your writing for it should be single wrestlers want to move up the ladder to be the top guy and little feuds from wanting to be the best take off from that, same for tag wrestling THATS how PRO WRESTLING should be booked not WWE/TNA bull****!

    Why are you sayin this? adding this in means nothin. are they the top 2 becus u 2 work there? what makes them the top?

    if its number of shows per year, then iww is top. if it is attendence, then dcw is top. the wrestling quality is debateable as all companies have gr8 wrestlers.

    i tink adding this in is pointless and snipey.

    dunno, maybe i am pmsing :)

    dont know if this is the real dave power but i tink we shud reply annyway & maybe somebody in dcw will read it?

    as long as it is constructive it cant hurt rite?

    i tink dcw has loads of talented wrestlers. and i tink this needs to be hilited. we dnt need to see untraind ppl like dave power, ger murphy and mark savage in the ring. it takes down the quality of the show and it is disrespwectful to the wrestlers who went and learned all the falls and holds.

    i tink doing storylines is ok aslong as u limit the amount u do (maybe 3 - 4) and you keep the majurity of the talking on youtube. we dnt need 20+ mins promos on a show. most of the ppl in attendence havent a clue wat it is about & they will get bored.

    keep ur titles on their current holders for a while! a3 month reign is NOT long. u r a small company. you need to build up the prestigue of the belts. rite now u have already had 4 different tag champs and 3 different heavyweight champs. and thers only been a heavyweight title since april!!!!

    if you leave it on dragon now, until maybe october, it will mean more when he looses it. this is NOT WWF. dont book it like a wweekly TV show. plan longterm.

    shock value only works wen it is done once in a while. doing it all the time makes it the norm & ppl will loose interest.

    Not to get Petty here but both NLW and DCW seem to be drawing the same size crowds. The recent NLW show in Belfast drew massively. FFPW's Poetry Slam drew almost 400. So I think that saying DCW outsells NLW is jumping the gun a bit.

    i didnt say dcw outsells nlw. i sed it gets big crowds. i mean consistently. i like nlw and ther wrestlers, im not debating wich is better.

    im just sayin that tunder and lightning are sayin somethin which cannot be claimed by any company in this country imho.


  • Registered Users Posts: 182 ✭✭FFPW Office


    Everyone involved with FFPW is pleased to annouce the return of what many wrestlers and fans called the best show of 2011 so far.

    On September 10th in 'The Complex' Smithfield Sq. Dublin. 1. wrestling fans in Ireland will get a second chance to see 'PoetrySlam 2'

    The 1st event back in February saw 400 strong pack out the complex to see what the best of Irish Wrestling and Poetry had to give them.

    Once again this event is completely 100% over-18's only. No 'boo-yeah' wrestling just fast-paced hardcore action. Plus this event is 'Bring your own beer'.

    NLW will have a 'Cruiser 8' quailfaction match on the show, plus other extreme matches to be announced.


    Plenty of time for the Irish wrestling faithful to get their calendar's free.



    But before all that go check out:

    Main Stage Wrestling in St. Mark's GAA club, Tallaght this Saturday
    &
    No Limit Wrestling in Quarryvale CC, Clondaklin this Sunday.


  • Registered Users Posts: 234 ✭✭Justin Ternet


    Im not looking to start an argument here and yes TandL are just spouting opinion and not facts but so to are you saying one company gets consistently bigger crowds than another. I think all everyone is drawing quite decently really considering recent years.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,773 ✭✭✭Sirsok


    Any shows gonna start venturing down south east region? Hard and costly when you dont gots the money for a day trip to Dublin! But great to see the amount of shows now though......keep it up!

    Also anyone have any footage of Jordan Devlin in Zero One?

    alright mate i dont want to argue either. i like all the shows ive been to so far this year (dcw,nlw,msw) and i look forward to more.

    i dnt care about crowd size anyway i was focusing more on the claim maybe meaning in ring talent wich i think is strictly debateable.

    but yes ther opinions are ther own.

    hi guys thanks for the feedback

    Hey Smoshi as Justin Ternet said this is our opinion, I also don't want to start an argument over this but I truely Believe MSW and NLW/FFPW are the top promotions in Ireland but thats my opinion. We worked for DCW and also BCW up North for a while and while we did this we still said NLW and MSW were the two top. We have been involved with MSW since its kicked of and we were happy to start getting our foot in the door with NLW.

    There are several reasons for my opinion.
    1. Their shows are always ran so professionally.
    2. Their wrestlers look like wrestlers (I know I don't have a great body but working on it lol)
    3. Their wrestlers wear WRESTLING GEAR.
    4. Anybody that steps inside their ring's are trained and learned wrestlers.
    5. Their story lines make sence and not too much over the top.
    6. The only two promotions in the ROI running wrestling schools.
    and that is to only state a few.

    By saying this I don't mean to take away from any other promotions in Ireland and I think DCW and IWW and every other promotion is doing a great job and fair play to them, but in my Opinion MSW and NLW/FFPW are the tops and thats why we enjoy working with them.

    So I hope this answers your question Smoshi and I hope I didn't sound cheeky or anything, if I did I didn't mean too.

    (We don't normaily reply on this thread as this Boards.ie account is to just promote shows. This will be the only reply from now on. Thank you. Thunder and Lightning)
