Yeah, but what else is he supposed to bring? AAA? They only have 5 shows. Nothing else seems big enough for that kind of distribution and wrestling has become pretty saturated outside the U.S.
The NWA had their own championships and a unitary board. This is more like Pro Wrestling USA.
It's been over a year. In that time-span, promotions in Japan, U.S., Mexico and Puerto Rico have kicked up and have World Champions, TV deals and full rosters.
You know who tried the same thing? Hugo Savinovich. He founded WWL. Had worked deals with AAA, TNA, Zero-1, the Wiki page literally reads about 20 promotions. That all went to hell. Because ego's met. Wrestlers went into business for themselves, no one wanted their talent to lose to talent from another company in another company and TNA didn't want their talent on TV. It was a shitty idea. It stopped them dry for 6 months. Now they're just a company for themselves with independent workers.
How is it smart? Taking other people's work and calling it your own? I understand that he's raising awareness and taking his time but eventually he's gonna need a roster of people and unless it's the people TNA has had to let go or the whole roster itself, he's gonna have to borrow from other companies. At which point, heads will collide. We're already seeing it with him and ROH. You asked "Name me one successful one" referring to the debuting companies. Well name one successful union that didn't end in conflict? NWA? Pro Wrestling USA? Just look at the TNA/Wrestle-1 union and how one-sided it is.
