Paying a wrestler on a payment plan is SAD 😂😂

Mike Bailey has talked about having to do payment plans for promoters before.

How the fuck has Steven Gaunley not been jailed for Money Fraud

[@michaeljohnston4459]

When he "left" the first time was he still running things behind the scenes? I know that was inferred in this video. Seems like there'd be some angry investors somewhere here.

Literally turned their back on No Turning Back

[@cheshiremulisha]

I remember getting scammed by a wrestling company years ago (2011) when I was a kid. Just gone back through my email and wouldn't you know who won the pony - It was 1PW & Danny Rodd! I remember they took the money and didn't send any tickets and went completelty radio silent about the event. We learnt through social media that most of the American talent that had allegedly been booked wasn't going to be there and as we still had no confirmation that the show was happening or if we could even get in without having being sent a ticket we decided to cut our losses and not go (travel would have cost just as much or more than the actual ticket) Looking at cagematch it looks like they actually had a show, but it wasn't the show that was advertised with the talent that we bought tickets to see.

[@idlersshooter]

I attended the shitshow in Liverpool and vowed to never do another 1PW show ever again.

[@JackinaVox]

I actually attended 2 of the 1PW shows they hosted when they returned. At the Doncaster Dome. Got to meet RVD and Micke James but god was it expensive 😭

[@davidfitzpatrick6535]

21:57 they do realize they can be taken to court for that right? Not sure about British law but in Canada if an event holder (lets say a wrestling company) has to cancel an event for whatever reason and refuses to do refunds u can sue them for the money owed. i cant remember what its called but its basically because they didnt deliver services promised (the wrestling event) they have to give the money back OR offer free tickets to another show. I've heard it happening that a Indie company couldnt make a show due to personal tragedy so they told the fans and said "if u bring ur ticket with POP (Proof of Purchase) to our next event we will let you in for free"

You’ve skimmed over a lot of facts here. For example - 1PW didn’t run Will Not Die at all. I get you’ve summarised a lot of things but the truth is definitely stranger than fiction.

Being a bit dodgy, if not an outright crook, may be a prerequisite for being a wrestling promoter.

[@kurtvanderbogarde8402]

1PW were involved in that pathetic Frontiers of Honour 2 show. I bought the DVD from the merch table at an All Star show purely for the Easter egg of a Premier Promotions bout between Johnny Kidd and Nigel McGuinness. Not only did the bout wipe the floor with anything else on the disc but so did the venue and crowd, a packed out World Of Sport type civic theatre versus a sparse High school gym. In the 2020s another old school promotion Rumble posts KZbin clips of its shows and they are better attended than FOH2.
