1PW: Officially SHUTS DOWN!

[@jeremysullivan888]

I was at this event in Doncaster, and it was epic, the owner was also there and loved himself too much, I also heard about him not running it very well and taking out loans to run it again under a different company name.im surprised it didn't get bought out after airing on ITV and fire network.

2022 it came back lad, about a year ago, it didn't even last a year. Went to all the shows and honestly they were brilliant, the talent was unbelievable, the matches and storylines were great, and it really felt like a movement and like it was gaining massive momentum, and then it all stopped for no other reason than a greedy stupid owner.

It does feel like it came back way before that! Thanks for the correction! Sucks man, all of the cards that I saw looked pretty class and to see it go up in smoke like that is crap!

As a former fan of 1PW form the 1st AND 2nd run, I couldn't get behind this 3rd stretch knowing who was running it. The man not only cost so much talent money through awful management, he cost fans too, me included. It was only a matter of time before this happened. A shame for fans and talent but no surprise to me. The 1PW book "All or Nothing" is a brilliant read, written by the talent and backstage personnel themselves if you can find a copy.

That sounds intriguing! I might have to check that out, thanks for the recommendation! Sorry to hear the did you over!

[@JayHuntJones]

The books was put together by James Dixon (Dragon Aisu, he took over Gauntley just before their 3rd anniversary), and rather than being written like a usual book, he essentially interviewed tons of the talent and put excerpts from them into chronological order. So stuff from the likes of Steve Corino, Abyss, AJ, SJK (Corey Graves), PAC, Spud (Drake Maverick), Doug Williams, Nigel McGuinness and even Gauntley himself. It also has all the event cards, attendances etc. Shocking to see how they went from having 1,000+ at the Doncaster Dome, down to about 10 people at a Leeds nightclub!

The owner really tried to get out of situation like a scumbag. This was a long time coming considering there past

[@GSKStarfighter]

Thank you for holding Up the flag for British wrestling! Its indeed very good. So i guess its f 1PW (the owner) for doing crap Like this ...

[@fromthetoprope7734]

My pleasure! Seems like the drama has gone even further since I posted this video!

[@JeremyIonz]

What would your gimmick have been if you had broken into the business? Sorry to ask this on such a heavy video, just thought it was interesting when you mentioned it.

[@fromthetoprope7734]

I never trained to wrestle or anything like that, more on the media and IWC I wanted to break into! Hopefully, I bring a more down to earth feel than some other YT channels, which was my main aim! BUT! If I did have a gimmick, it would be comedy based in the vain of Orange Cassidy or LJ Cleary. A pacifist but works in the wrestling industry, I thought that would be quite funny!

Well thanks to WWE it's the worst time to run a promotion in the UK they have all the good established talent, what Vince did years ago in America he's doing in the UK.

[@fromthetoprope7734]

I see where you're coming from, but there are TONS of wrestlers on the UK scene that are crushing it! Spike Trivet, Leon Slater, Man Like Deriess, Lykos Gym, Lana Austin, Charles Crowley, Robbie X!! The scene is thriving at the moment regardless of who WWE has under their banner!
