New AWR tour featuring RVD... But no irish dates....

CMpunked

AWR have announced through their bebo site, that RVD- Rob Van Dam will be part of their March tour in 2009.

But from reading the website on:http://www.rampageamericanwrestling.co.uk/index2.htm

DECEMBER 22nd 2008

It has been confirmed that former ECW and WWE World Champion, ROB VAN DAM, has signed an exclusive contract to appear under the AWR banner this coming March for our huge tour of France, Belgium and Switzerland. Also just confirmed is former WWE Star Chris Mordetzky (formerly Chris Masters in WWE) and returning to AWR will be the 7 footer Andrew Martin, otherwise known as Test! Be sure to be a part of this massive tour. More names will be announced in the coming weeks so stay with us here for all the latest news!

I'm kinda pissed off because they announced this on bebo and automatically i assumed this included the irish dates, but as it says here:http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=58301929&postcount=3

As stated on the site, Ireland will not be part of the March tour although Irish dates will be announced for 2009 in the new year.

What was the point in telling us about RVD if he isnt even going to be in ireland?

they are trying for european expansion and you have to give it to them for that. the irish market is far too small given the amount of money they spend on bringing talent over and production.

pity the ain't doing shows over here but they will be back i am sure

Im not knocking the fact that they are breaking into the eurpoean market, and 100% fair play to them, well done and all that.

But the only gripe is they announced in on bebo, which is irish dominated, so now we know that RVD will be in france, belguim and switzerland and none in ireland.

I'm sure some people from Ireland will make it over to France, Belguim or Switzerland to see a show.

Where else would they announce it? Bebo isn't an Ireland-specific social site. Many other countries use it too.:)

Maybe through the media which they used to bring in the numbers in the respective countries on the last tour?

If you really want to see the guy go to one of the european dates its not expensive these days also if people in Ireland did less talking about wrestling and more showing up to shows we may get more big names and bigger tours in bigger venues
Rampage would tour Ireland if people put there hands in their pockets

Is this not meant to be a Irish company or based on an Irish company?

Im sorry but some of us dont have enough money to be going off for a few days to the continent, feck me, its costing enough for me to go to two wrestling shows.

And "EXCUSE ME!" what are you on about "If more people showed up to shows"?!
Show of hands who went to the october tour?
What are we supposed to do, donate money to who AWR should get?

Heres how wrestling bookin goes kid:
Pull money together, book a big name in the hope of bringing in the punters, get them in the door, give them a worthy of the price show, send them home happy, concreting having the same face at the next show.

Not:
Put together a brilliant tour of ireland after a pretty successful western ireland tour.
Book one of the biggest wrestlers of all time.
Do a great run of shows all around the country.
Go off to france, have amazing media coverage.
Announce another show/tour.
Complain that no one went to the shows and tell people to go to the show in france, because it will be cheap for the fans.


I was meaning to ask you, have you some sort of authority in AWR, or is it just a coincidence that you have a similiar name?

They just ran a nationwide tour 2 months ago. Less is more particularly in this current economic climate.

I figured from your name you had some sort or position with them, and it was the only few threads you have posted in.

And i'll drop the kid thing, it was only after i posted that i realised how degrading it could sound. Apologies for that.

Bebo is definately NOT Irish dominated..

joepenguin

Maybe if they are pestered enough they'll consider doing one show in Ireland.

Werent all the shows they had over here succesfull?

Im sure there are very few people with the money to travel to Europe just to see RVD and will be saving their money for the next awr ireland show.
