I haven’t been on the indies for a year, so I don’t know if the indies are really dead or not. The wrestlers I trust say they are not. Whether they are dead or not, why isn’t every independent wrestler taking advantage of live social shopping to increase their income and connection with fans? Why isn’t every independent wrestler taking advantage of the FREE advertising that is social media to help promote every show they are on? Post the poster, post the match graphic, do the cell phone promo, etc. If you don’t treat the show like it’s a big deal, then why would a fan? I could go on and on about this. I love independent wrestling. Don’t just not let it die…help it thrive!

6. Run shorter shows. I get you want everyone to wrestle, it’s an issue I have as well, but the cost of a 7 match card is much lower than the cost of a 11 match card. I guarantee the viewer will be more likely to come back after a 120 minute show rather than a 210 minute show.

This was actually a brilliant spot for a Falls Count Anywhere match. Referee sees foot on the rope, his instinct tells him to stop the count, quickly realizes it's FCA and goes back to the count but it gave Ethan Page extra second and he's able to kick out. So good.

Very unusual flight trajectory today leaving Edinburgh for Rome. After take-off the pilot flew west, allowing the best view of Glasgow and the Firth of Clyde I’ve ever seen.

Couldn’t agree more. By all means do kids classes that teach body control via rolls, rope running, simple wrestling transitions & build confidence with fun entrances/promo drills. NO BUMPS Maybe do small in training exhibitions of these things only with donations from parents
Concerning trend of seeing promotions sell tickets and advertise shows with literal pre teen children on them. A very clear money spinner to monetise parents and extended family but also obviously mental for kids as young as 7 to be taking bumps and people make money off it.

Thanks to everyone - wrestlers, staff, fans for this past 3 days in Edinburgh, Leeds and Manchester. @nikkistorm08 and I are beyond proud of the team. We couldn't have asked for more talented people. This is just the beginning though. We have a long way to go! @ThisIs_Progress

Some months ago, the @WWE lost one of its beloved crew members. This week marked our first international tour without Davey and the first with his son Henry in “his seat.” I saw Henry when I arrived at #WWEClash and was greeted in the same way his dad hundreds of times before. On what would have been his 64th birthday, I’m thinking of Davey, Henry, and their entire family. I’m grateful to work with all the unbelievably talented men and women who make our company what it is - and who deliver each and every night, in every city around the globe.

I get asked about wrestling schools all the time. My advice: -If you are going for the closest or cheapest wrestling school, that’s not a good start. -Look at who will train you, not the name on the school, but who will train you… (1/3)

Recently chatted with Multimedia Journalism students Isaac, Conor, and Frankie at @CaledonianNews about my involvement in pro wrestling. Was great to catch up with them again backstage at @InsaneChampWres to hear how the project was progressing!

“One of the good guys” can sound like a cliché, but not when it came to Scotty. I’ve met hundreds of people since joining wrestling in ’07. He was one of the first, and he left one of the biggest impressions. A massive loss.
RIP "The Butcher" Scott Renwick Great wrestler, great Tag Partner, but an even better person. His love of Dad jokes used to infuriate me no end, but he was a joy to be around. To say he will be missed is an understatement. Lots of love to his family.
