    E203: Promoters Put The Con In WrestleCon!

    E203: Promoters Put The Con In WrestleCon!

    If you're a collector who's been to big wrestling conventions in the past, then you may have been disappointed in the carny game that was WrestleCon this year in Philadelphia.
    Certain promoters, "up-charging" on items, and if you brought something they deemed, "rare," you were paying for it! These promoters had advertised prices on wrestlecon.com
    Examples:
    Tony Hunter Promotions w/ The Hardy Boyz wanted an extra $40 because we brought a early Matt Hardy Series 2 Elite
    Club Hollywood Promotions advertised Honky Tonk Man as $90 on his new Legends elite, but if you went to WrestleCon, he was $125 and NO PHOTO!
    Gimmicked Promotions with The Godfather, this promotion advertised The Godfather as $50/50/100. On of our friends had the new Kama Legends Elite, he was charged $70. Twenty minutes later, our host with the SAME figure they wanted $100!

    These were just a few promoters pulling bad moves, we've been promoters with Ultimo Dragon, Sonny Onoo, Karrion Kross, Scarlett, and The Iinspiartion and NOT ONCE ever pulled what this carny show pulled. As we said, The Promoters Put The Con in WrestleCon!

The Will Gray ,

Quality Wrestling Content

As both a wrestling podcaster and a writer Lee is top notch. His attention to detail, and quality of work, is matched by his quirkiness and ability to make any guest comfortable. If you haven’t make sure to check out his YouTube channel, there is great video footage of the aforementioned interviews! If bees had knees, they’d look like Perched on The Top Rope.

It’s theone22 ,
