IwW invade Dublin & Cork this June w/WWE, RoH & NOAH stars
Comments

The first match has been announced for the Dublin leg of this two-day extravaganza!
'The American Dragon' BRYAN DANIELSON versus 'The Anarchist' DOUG WILLIAMS
Fans of technical wrestling better brace themselves for a masterpiece as two of the world's best square off in the National Basketball Arena, Tallaght this Saturday 14th June. In one corner, former RoH World Champion, America's BRYAN DANIELSON. In the other, former RoH Pure Champion, Britain's DOUG WILLIAMS. These two have squared off in several mat classics previously, but as always will look to only outdo themselves when they square off in Dublin. One not to be missed folks!
:eek: breaking the whole iww v guest talent!!
Cant wait now this is gonna be a masterclass,as near as you can get to roh without going to the us.0 -

Well, WWE, TNA, ROH, ECW and, *gaspshockhorror* IwW are all going to be run down at some stage or another. I personally hate TNA, but I wouldn't stop running them down if Dixie Carter came on here and got her knickers in a twist over someones opinion.
And in fairness, the IwW forum hasn't been anything special since it got that big change. I'm sure he misses your witty humour being on two seperate forums though!
eeeee's not wrong!
However Gerard, i do remember ye days of olde when you were very pro TNA and very anti WWE, it was only about two years ago actually. What was it you used to say? LAX > DX?
Times do change though, I admit i too at one stage was very pro WWE (for the guts of a decade), but these days you couldn't pay me enough to sit through 2 hours of SD or 1 hour of WWECW. RAW to me has become a chore to watch in recent months whereas TNA just, well it makes me smile, it does what WWE used to.
Regarding promotion slating. JeffK, I would have made you cry within minutes if you'd heard my views on your darling glorified backyard junk of a promotion called ECW. 200 people in a dingy bingo hall with nothing but glorified spotfests. They had one good year where they had a bunch of talent between 1995-1996, and they all bailed because Heyman wasn't paying them. How ECW lasted as long as it did is beyond me. But you don't want to get me started on that (you really don't!)
As for IWW, i don't have much in the way of a bad word to say about them because i haven't attended a show of theirs since 2006 (or was it early 2007?), it was a Waterford Forum show, but that's about all i remember. However €40 for a front row ticket is a hell of a price hike from the €25 or so i used to see for their premium packages. Although to their defence, international talent isn't cheap to get over. Of course, there's actual talent, and then there's Scotty (where did) The Body (go). I've f*ck all time for him. But i don't think i've ever really come out of an IWW show not having a good time, with the exception of their first comeback show in 2004 i think, which was in Mount Temple, but they made up for that on their second show, which was a total turnaround.
There we go, my €2,000,000 worth. Feels good to be back

Vr constructive criticism is gladly accepted and this ain't the pro or anti ecw thread so lets not get into that.
You think €40 is dear,NLW or whatever that other promotions called is now asking €55 for same place as IWW.0 -

NLW are paying alot more to bring over certain talent, at least they did for their last tour, production values (and thus costs) between the NLW event i attended and IWW is not comparable either.
i only paid 30euro for the NLW show in Feb and i was first row ringside and the next one is priced at 33euro, strange they be charging 55euro in Tallaght 0 -

Jesus i stay off here for ONE day and look at what happens....:pOriginally Posted by flahavaj

Did you really, honestly completely miss the blatant sarcasm dripping from my original post? Even the lowest form of wit is wasted on you, lad.:eek:
This man speaks the truth. If it wasn't for me this would be a one page thread, opinions are the oxygen upon which a message board thrives. Hell, I've helped get more views on this thread for IWW than any of their ill thought out, misleading posters could ever have achieved. They should be thanking me.validreasoning! wrote: »Probably because it's a "discussion forum", and discussions often come from opinion, and correct me if i'm wrong, but flahavaj is giving just that, his opinion?
Besides, if people just stopped giving their opinions (wanted or not), then this forum would have died years ago. :rolleyes:
VR!Is discussion running a promotion down and slagging a person?
Ah sure im used to that from flava,he must miss the Iww forum god love him.
Slagging a person? Go back and read what Leggett posted. It was he decided to make this personal and ended up looking not only foolish but a hypocrite in the process. As for the IWW forum, I believe thats a prime example of a forum that was once a great place populated by a sound bunch of regulars before it was invaded by certain illiterate cretins (and I name no names) who killed the place with text speak, one word posts and general stupidity. In fact thats exactly what happens to a forum where opinion and discussion are downtrodden by blatant disregard and seeming ignorance of even the basic laws of grammar and debate. So yes, i do miss the IWW forum of 2-3 years ago, but not the tumbleweed infested incarnation of the Marie Celeste it became in its latter years.But would you go to a tna show??
Ah tis dublin wit you cant buy that stuff,not even in carrolls :cool:
And so my post comes full circle. Oscar Wilde would be proud.0 -
Ah, a Tipperary joke. Good one.
How often in WWE do you hear chants from the fans requesting they fire the head booker? Never. TNA's most loyal fans even know they're watching ****.
^ I laughed
So what are the chances of Là Rèsistance missing the show?
I've always been big fans of those two (and three, when Sylvàn Grenièr was involved) and I'm considering buying a RAW tag belt to get signed by both.
I've been considering buying the World Tag Belt for a while now, and this is what may make me get it. But in saying that, i don't wana shell out approx €300 for a belt to get signed, then hear that Là Rèsistance missed their flights (which seems to happen quite a bit with IWW in my knowledge).0 -

Back on topic please
Joined 2005, 48 posts. Remind me again sir, you are who exactly? Because if the mod of the forum is still taking part in the discussion, i think it's kinda his call if it's on topic or not.Gerard C. wrote:How often in WWE do you hear chants from the fans requesting they fire the head booker?

A fair point, however i do remember a couple of online petitions requesting to fire Brian Gerwirtz (sp?) around the 2002-2004 period because his writing was as bad, if not worse than Vince Russo. Remember folks, Russo didn't give us such genius storylines such as Katie Vick, Kane frying Shane McMahons nuts, as well as setting Jim Ross on fire, and Kurt Angle wanting "beastiality sex" with Sharmell. Just because the crowd don't voice it, doesn't mean it doesn't suck!

I always thought the worst bit of that angle wasn't the ball frying incident, but rather the subsequent civilised meeting at a restaurant where they pleasantly exchanged threats and insults. So ****ing weird. 0 -

I thouht what was weird, wasnt that they were being pleasant, but that, amidst Kanes most important and crucial storyline, where he as billed as being the most monsterous and dangerous he's ever been.. they let him be nicely dressed to the resaurant.
Yet.. he had to wear his tights for see no evil... how does that make sense?
Regardless, Kane is like.. God. So.. yeah
Any way,
I'm interested in that one later in the year, too. But i doubt Foley'll appear now that he's on WWE, and why is Test always in Ireland?
Im gonna try and sort out soemthing with a few friends for this IwW show in tallagh as i really wana see this Là Rèsistance reunion. (and i swear, and this is a promise, not a boycott, i will never go to another IwW show again, if they dont use the Là Rèsistance theme tune: http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=79unVNrqw1k
Its a production theme, and theres nothing i know of that woul dstop IWW from using it. this isnt gonna be on national TV or anything either, and its not a WWE Production i dont believe, either)0 -

Not really. Generally when IWW advertise someone he is there. As mentioned already, Smothers missed recent bookings, but he also mised a host of UK based bookings at the same time. Another would be Scorpio Sky, but that was just down to him being a prick if what I heard is true.
Indy shows have no shows from time to time, its part and parcel of the game. Its not like IWW are doing a 1PW of a few years ago now is it?
My only criticism is when there is a no show, it goes unnannounced.
With respect to Smothers, I am aware as to the reasons of his not being present in the recent tours and it is something that literally can't be announced at the beginning of a show.
Irish Whip have suffered from some no shows by talent over the years and it is an occupational hazard in booking talent on one off shows and it is pretty much unavoidable at times. Bookings are taken on the basis that talent will show up on the dates mentioned, the no shows do happen and they are never the intention of any decent promotion. Indeed, there has been occasions in the past where talent has been available for shows and not booked on the basis that they are liable not to turn up for a show. Without naming names, I know of one well known UK wrestler who is notorious for missing shows and it is just down to him sleeping it in:eek: would you expect Irish Whip to book him knowing full well that this may happen? At the other end of the spectrum, another well known UK star missed a flight making an IWW date once and spent several hundred pounds on a later flight to honour his booking.
If you were to write down the talent that makes shows over that which misses shows, I would know which list is going to be far far longer 0 -
