TWX Answers Your Questions
Ladies and Gentlemen. We here at TWX, High Definition Wrestling try to remain as honest with you, our fans as possible. This past Saturday, TWX High Definition Wrestling, Canceled their Show that was to happen January 9, at Basketball America in Lake Orion Mi. We are going to explain to you WHY the show was canceled, what is going to happen now, and if you the fans have any more questions whether it pertains to the issue of the cancellation of TWX in Lake Orion or not, leave them in the comment section of this blog.
1) Upon arrival of the building, the building informed us that they were not ready for us. In fact, the Marquee Sign in the front of the building had not been updated since November when we were there on November 21,2009. Matter of fact, the Marquee itself said Pro Wrestling ov 21. That’s right, OV 21. So then of course the locals were not informed of the show on the buildings behalf. The back area of the building was not cleared of snow, so, the driver of the truck was at first refusing to back the ring up to the door.
2) The TWX ring crew were no shows. The fact of the matter is, 2 of our ring crew were performing on another wrestling show, which to us is acceptable, but the other 2 in fact were straight no shows and would not answer their phones. These 2 will be effectively dealt with and will no longer be affiliated with TWX, High Definition Wrestling. Gordie and Levi Blue along with Greg the sound guy and a freshly out of training student of Truth Martini, from the House of Truth were going to attempt to set up the show ourselves, but then a couple more situations got in our way.
3) 4 TWX Wrestlers called in with various situations and excuses....3 of the wrestlers were involved heavily in major storylines and angles. Normally, a wrestler not making it to a show is no problem, and there are plenty of other wrestlers to step in to take their places. But this was part of the build and the problem and just added to the decision to cancel the show.
4) The building’s owner, accused TWX of stealing a piece of black cloth that he uses for a backdrop, that he allowed us to use as a piece of our entranceway. I explained to the owner, why would we take it, when we are allowed to use it, in the only place where we need it? He seemed to gradually accept the fact that we didn't take it, but it still added to the decision to cancel the show.
4) The building was still continuing to rent the building to "basketball players" as we were getting ready to set up. It was not the buildings fault, they have a business to run, but in that same regard, we were there to run a business too. To entertain the TWX faithful. Back in November there was a general concencess that the basketball playing that was going on during the show really took away from the wrestling that was happening.
5) This is a big one and I (Levi Blue) will take FULL RESPONSIBILITY for this one. To be honest with you, I do not feel that this show was given the attention that it deserves. A lot of our attention and focus was based on the Birch Run Expo Center show the week previous. There was little to no advertising done for the Lake Orion show. A lot of our resources and money were spent for the Expo show, so I don't think that Lake Orion got the attention that it deserved. There were a number of reasons for this, (Christmas, New Years, Family Get Together) So in hind sight, though, this did not add to the decision, it was part of the fact that the building, I am sure why they forgot that we were going to be there
So with all of the negative blockades that were placed in our way, it was a joint decision to cancel the show. We want to apologize to the fans of TWX.
A couple more decisions have been made as well.
First of all, TWX, High Definition Wrestling will be taking the month of February off to regroup and reorganize our roster, office staff and even where we are going to be holding shows. I will tell you this, our dear fans, that TWX, High Definition Wrestling will be RETURNING to the Birch Run Expo Center and a date will be announced later on this week. There have been talks of bringing in some more stars for this show and we would like to hear from you. Who would YOU like to see?
We will be looking for a new ring crew. If you are interested in becoming part of the TWX Ring Crew and want to get into the shows for free. Learning the ins and out of the wrestling business and building relationships with the wrestlers themselves. Let us know!!
We are also looking for a street team. A street team will be flyering and advertising for us, will be going on various tasks and will also enjoy the benefits of free shows. Let us know here as well
if you did go to the Birch Run Expo show and still have your ticket stub, the next show we will still honor the Buy One Get One Free ticket offer that we made in Birch Run. At our next show, bring your ticket stub to the next show and get your Buy One Get One Free tickets
So fans there it is, in a nutshell....errr...blog.
If there is any questions that you may have, as I stated, ask in the comments section of this blog and we will answer them as soon as we can.
Thank you for your continued support and we will see you in just a couple months.
