Next... The show started late. Part MY fault. Long story short, I had a ton of hats to wear, and honestly got overwhelmed, but we got through it. Working on tightening up the ship! Lillouie said it best "I'm quite surprised that, the day after your first show, the board isn't lighting up.Probably the biggest surprise, for me anyway, was the lack of a huge "Pop" for GI Ho." Lou basically you hit it on the nose for me too. Very quite here a few days after the show before people started popping up. Who knows maybe it was because of the holiday and they left for vacation right after the show. Also, again on the nose with GI Ho crowd reaction. BUT it was a crucial marketing test AND we have the results we needed. GI HO is a non-factor as it was seen no one cares anymore. Oh let me check that, a few cared, but overall NON-FACTOR! Walt, seems to be under the louie thinking also, with no chatter about the show. At least HE blasted all you "so-called fans", and not showing up. As for me and mod, we were under strict orders to let things play out, as we all had things we each needed to accomplish MORE important to chatting on the board, but thanks for noticing we weren't here lol And WALT, I will be back shortly to take your post to task as I will give you some responses to your lop sided review, as obviously YOU are one of "those" fans. More to come, and it's about to get REAL GOOD, REAL FAST! SG I'm not so sure that's the case. Nobody could see her face because she had her head down the whole time, & a lot of fans weren't sure it was GI Ho. A lot of people around me were asking, "Is that GI Ho?" One guy even insisted to me earlier in the evening that girl thingy Willow was GI Ho! A surprise run in like that is cool, but when people haven't seen a wrestler in years, an introduction is VERY helpful.

Okay, I did NOT post "girl thingy" Willow. It's P*ssy Willow - let's see if that gets through.
Seriously, guys, you have to do something about the censor on this board

Yea I guess GI HO's thems song that cued and started at the GI - GI - GI Ho part that repeats itself is how it's started. So yes there was a clue to who it was music, her face, her clothing lol mod

I figured it was her, but an awful lot of fans were confused. You can mock the fans, or you can try to correct the situation. Guess which one will get the wrestler over better.

Ok I'm still kinda going through the last couple pages of crap here but SG, youc all what you did with gi ho a marketing test huh?
It was over so fast nobdoy knew wtf had happened. She wasn't even wearing her traditional ring gear.
Had she actually made a normal entrance, and her music had actually been allowed to play long enough to get to the part with lyrics --- there would have been more of a pop.

Steve about meeting me. You've changed your look too much for anybdoy to recognize you but, I think it was you standing by the door pretty much the entire time at the penthouse club. If so, well I guess you did and din't know it.
I reiterate the part about gi ho's music. Maybe the sound guy (lol) f**ked things up because all I heard was the guitar part at the beginning, not the vocal part. Again, the clothing was nothing like what she typically wore.
Whatever. If that was it, that was it. It is a shame she wasn't available for pictures or autographs or anything.
I need to say. I am a fan of what dwow was from 1999-2004. That ain't what I saw --- and that doesn't look like where its going. No nudity. Way too many guys. What exactly does zach gowen and a freaking little pedophile magnet have to do with anything? The mae's and I dunno steve and the smoke --- lucky --- even 'sand boy' from that cage match --- thats enough guys.
Your initial roster was a bunch of strippers that got trained to wrestle --- and to a large degree brought their own wacky personalities with them (like tai).
Bringing in mostly the same independant lady wrestlers every other promotion uses is not the same thing.
I'm not gonna say anything crazy like I'm gonna stop following things or stop buying your crap. This apperent new gi ho dvd the mod mentioned for one sounds great. But I can tell ya one thing, I'm not gonna ruin any more summers not having enough money just to go to a show --- unless it sounds much better. For what its worth in TV form I bet the show is better anywho.

One more thing. About the PPV people getting first dibs. Man I which I understood the financial reasons for that.
PPV for recorded events is just dead concept. Its all about internet and video on demand. Youre basically telling anybody who doesn't have those two cable companies or whatever, that you don't want their money. Not to mentiont he fact everyone has heard paul heyman talk about how ECW wouldn't have gone under if they'd actually got all the PPV money they were supposed to.
Getting it on zune or amazon or netflix or itunes or --- something, would make more sense, if you don't want to serve it yourself.
Hell I was actually hoping HDnet would be your carrier since they already have a girls gone wild tv show and ROH --- old school dwow was the pefefct blend of both.

It kinda looks like her with a few extra pounds, though it's difficult for me to be sure.

Just wanted to make a quick note that DWOW higher ups made three attempts to reach out to Mickie James to do a total, kayfabe lights on/off surprise for the May 27th show, but was told her price was almost 10k after it was all said and done (talent fee, trans, hotel, etc...). Also that for that price she would only appear to do autographs and pictures, and NO WRESTLING! Talk about don't forget where you come from lol
We wish Mickie the best, but even if DWOW did fork over that kind of dough for her to appear, it would NOT have been worth it in the long run for the night, and as a one shot. Oh well, we did try!
