    My friend, my brother, my fellow Buckeye, you seem to have an extremely narrow view of what pro wrestling is/should be. From the packed stadiums of Wrestlemania, Wrestle Kingdom and All In, to the crowded little bars of Tokyo, Chicago and even Louisville, wrestling events in addition to wrestlers themselves are in all shapes and sizes. Some of the most fun shows I’ve ever been to happened in literal middle school gyms.

      But my point is that you look at what I described, and realize what it would take to pull that off. First off, you need a fanbase sizable enough to do something like that. You also need the cash flow, and distribution to produce essentially 4 weekly TV shows all at the same time. Obviously it couldn’t be live, but it is still 4 different venues in 4 different countries, with international travel for at least a portion of the roster on a weekly basis.

      And I don’t think that’s possible once you realize how low budget and limited their logistics are.
