LowBlowPodcast Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Good return of SMW. There is a lot of potential within the group of guys you have here and then the subsequent freelancers and relationships you have with the promoters to run bigger shows. In regards to rosters... I think we all have a little bit of fat to trim and send your way... I will be in touch and perhaps give you something more to work with...

Ken Lucas came to the ring with his head bandaged from the attack on Saturdays TV program. It didnt take long for this match to turn into chaos, both men bled heavily, Lucas hit a piledriver onto the time keepers table on Starr, Starr targetted Lucas head when he attacked him with the ring bell, the match came to an end when Lucas slapped on a sleeper hold and a battered Starr passed out to win the series and a Heavyweight Title match. At the end of the match Lucas shoke the hand of the bloodied passed out Ron Starr on the mat as he left the ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirEdger Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 Good to see the Starr vs Lucas feud getting center stage in Knoxville's main event. Always fun to see a more personal feud without a title at stakes given its proper respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmcfl Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Great use of the freelancers here. You are getting a lot out of names that might not be as household as the rest of the rosters but I think that proves how interesting the sport of wrestling is. Who ever is the top heel and face in a territory will get the heat or the cheers like they are Andre the Giant if developed correctly and you are doing just that. Ron Starr, Brian Adias and others are becoming wrestling stars here and it is a great read from week to week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneJackson95 Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Great stuff developing here, you do such a great job with old school southern wrestling... As mentioned positioning Starr/Lucas above Lawler and the Rock & Rolls raised their stock in the fans eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boon Posted May 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Thank s for the feedback guys. There was a couple of bits I really wanted to do with the Lucas-Starr feud, firstly put over the Sleeper (4 of the 5 matches in the series ended with the sleeper) as a killer move and secondly build Ron Starr as a star against a territory legend like Lucas and push him on, now he lost the feud so you guys will have to see where this goes.

LowBlowPodcast Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 I agree with what others have said in line of using the freelancers. This is a perfect example eon how to use them well and build the show. And like Gene said, the placement of your matches helps build the guys you have while still putting value in the ones you are bringing in.
