    You've got to laugh at how each promotion tries to outdo the others. Is being "a strong supporter of our community" and bringing "together top Irish talent along with talent from around the world" really what sets CPW Northside apart?!

    The same night as Iww in the Nba, who books this and SERIOUSLY thinks they will draw anyone but family and friends?

    Its a small enough island for wrestling so why try and compete, its not like theres hundreds of Indies over here.

    Aaaah reminds me of the days when NWA Ireland and IWW booked the same dates around 2005. Was wondering how long before we'd see this again.

    I do agree with jeffk though, it's a stupid idea two Irish promotions booking two shows on the same date (not blaming anyone here, before anyone starts, just being neutral), there's never a real winner at the end of it.

    It is the type of idiocy which hurt Wrestling in the UK for so long.

    The shows are on at opposite sides of the city, if CPW can attract 100 paying locals then I'm sure they'll be more than happy.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22 CPW Northside


    CPW Northside is a entirely new type of promotion in Ireland. One that doesn't focus on the same cartoony type wrestling Irish fans are use to but a more Xtreme for of wrestling. More edgy and more exciting form of pro wrestling. Before eveyone gets negative please check it out for yourself then at least you'll give use a fair shot. Don't worry we won't edit your post like other companies we are interested in the fans really opinions.

    But the thing is that they did far less on their last few shows when no one else was running a show.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,848 ✭✭✭jeffk


    HAVE to give props to the powers that be @ CPW for the text info service they send out.Thats something other Irish promotions could try.

    That being said having cabra gaa and whitehall gaa as the venues is poor,but i assume they where trying to keep it to one text!

    And Gerard, out of interest, why not describe your CPW experience rather than make a sweeping statement?

    The videos on their Myspace page were recent I would guess and there's some people there, but 100 is stretching it

    That and I spoke to someone who went to that show and another who has gone to others in the past. It is my impression that the crowds have fallen off since Blake Norton left.

    The wrestling was poor, the crowd was dead (and rightly so), the characters were either ridiculously unimagivative or non-existant, the heavyweight champion was about 2 foot tall, the sound was awful.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 78 ✭✭Jimmy McMurtry


    Yeah I dnt mean to be a d**k but I went to either a CPW or CPW Northside show out by my house. The show was really poor there was like 17 people at it,the week b4 I went to c Eugene & Dupree in IWW & there was like easy 400 people & by and large the show was gud.
    Iv only been to like 3/4 irish shows(the IWW 1s out in Donnycarney & CPW) bt it kinda turnd me off goin to an all Irish show think id prob jst stick to the shows wit WWE guys on it(sorry dnt mean2b so negative):o

    Results from the Northside show in whitehall

    Damien Corvin beat Lee lightning. Mary Mcarthy bested Gerry Soul in a test of strength contest. This was funny as ****. Lenny Hanna beat John Jennings. lenny looked seriously banged up. more than likely injured the night before. Insano beat Thunder Titan. really good back and forth match between 2 really fast and agile wrestlers. John jennings beat Danny the pain. these 2 litterally beat the **** out of each other. the punches really looked legit
    New CpW heavyweight champion CJ summers versus New CpW Irish champion andy phoenix didnt have an ending. guess it was a no contest. Jennings interfered and attacked both andy and summers. then he attacked Gerry soul and owner brian griffin. After jennings left danny the pain appeared and andy brian gerry and danny proceded to beat the crap out of summers until the backstage made the save. very good show and the crowd loved every minute of it.

    Why would a promotion which is probably 4th out of 4 in the country "expand". Surely they should try and make the original product better?

    They have to try expand otherwise they will always be 4th out of 4.

    That all? Sheesh.Thats very poor. For the amount of talent, travel costs etc. involved in that Cork show, even if it had gone ahead, its likely that IWW would have made an even bigger loss than CPW with their 100 with miniscule costs.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22 CPW Northside


    All this talk about a company coming in with a strong business plan to revolutionize the Irish wrestling scene. That is exactly what we are trying to do, but it up to the fans to attend a show and give the project a chance. We are an expansion of CPW but a totally seperate company. these past few events were a test to see if our plan was practical or a bust. I think we proved it is viable to showcase young irish talent and a kickass show with guys that want it on a small budget. And give the fans an action-packed event. Every company starts somewhere even the original ECW. Thank you to the guys that checked us out and for your comments on the show. We listen to the fans and if we put up a **** show we wanna hear from the people that really matter the fans, and this ain't some bull**** to get over with the fans it the truth. We really want the feedback to get the best product in Ireland.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,296 ✭✭✭✭gimmick


    So you're saying the IWW show in Cork didn't draw as well as it should have because a rival promoter started taking IWW's posters down? If you are going to throw out a pretty strong accusation like that you should really back it up with proof of some sort.

    Thats exactly what I am saying. I was putting up posters around Cork City and County, and had a very hard time keeping them there. I had no such problem when I did a similar job in February for IWWs first show in Cork. Perhaps I am reading too much into it, but almost none of my posters were taken down first tiem round. i would also like to point out I have no affiliation whatsoever to IWW, simply doing a favour for a promotion I have supported for the last few years.

    Anyway, this is a CPW discussion, nada to do with any other promotion.

    He's ****. A few years ago he was jobbing to Dave Zero in the opening match of a card for another company! His promos are embarrassingly bad, and I have witnessed this first hand on several occasions, you would actually cringe at some of the nonsense he comes out with. His status as teh Heavyweight Champion of a company does nothing good for it in my opinion, and there isn't a chance I'd pay money to see him. But feel free to state your opinion too.

    He really wasn't. The state of him. He packed it in after his humiliation at one of the first Gym Wars during the IWW-NWA Ireland interpromotional feud when his match with Adam Abz turned into a shoot.

    The best part of all that was, he had his mates try to convince everyone that it was a "worked shoot".
