Default Discover the marketing Genius of a Wrestling Superstar

Hi Folks,

I just came across this article about Vince McMahon. For you wrestling fans, you know that WrestlMania hit Toronto last month.

It was the first time (that I know of) that we were able to sell out the sky dome. WWF broke the attendance record!

AND

The amount of business generated in our City was "RIDICULOUS" Who else wants a $500 WWF belt?

"Can you SMELLLLLL what VINCE MCMAHON is Cookin'"

take care :->

Duane

I firmly believe that is a great opportunity to make money in pro-wrestling at this point. Why? Basically there is only Vince and his WWF and that's it. Several federations have tried to compete with the WWF (use to be the WWWF back in the 'olden' days of the 1970's) but you can't compete with Vince on his level. BUT small shows in small arenas can still be profitable...the wrestlers don't make as much as what you would think. And with the failure of the WCW (and before that the NWA and the AWA) there are a lot of wrestlers out there. Plus with the huge assortment of cable channels out there you can stand a good chance of getting some sort of TV visibility.

Hey you! This is an open challenge! You want to take a risk! Let's start a small pro-wrestling ciruit. Actually I'm serious, under the right circumstances it could work...

Take care,

Mike Winicki

Default They laughed when they saw my 120 pound skinny body enter the ring...

But when I body slammed the 300lb Gorrilla...One, Two, Three....They were stunned!

So...Who else wants to be a wrestling superstar?

Ex-Wrestling Superstars reveals all of the inside secrets of your favorite wrestling moves

Hi Mike,

I know that if anyone is Passionate about the idea, it could be very successful! (I'm personally not, but I'm sure that someone out there could make it work)

I was watching one of those "Real Video" type shows and a kid was holding a WRESTLING EVENT in his front yard. He was the Super Star of his neighbourhood. Unfortunately he accidentally set himself on fire after jumping off his roof onto a wooden table... but that's another story.

Another idea along the same lines, would be to hold CLASSES or TRAINING for kids or WANNABE wrestlers. I think that this could go WILD!

Hey I've already started the copy for the sales letter.

The pro circuit could work very well, I think that helping others actually get closer to their dream via training sessions, would go CRAZY!

Hey does anybody know any EX-Wrestlers? :->

Mike you issued the "open challenge" so now, right back at you! :->
