This is really for fans, and wrestlers, who are tired of the WWE's stifling and controlling ways, but it's not being done in a compete with them in a vindictive way, which is what makes it interesting to me. It's like a peaceful revolution, at least so far peaceful, against the establishment. They have a fervent fan base, but I'm not sure how many fans it really is. They sold what 10k tickets out in Chicago in the blink of an eye, which spooked WWE, but they don't have millions of fans I don't think, and they have deep pockets backing them in what doesn't feel like a let's con 'em money mark situation. These guys are a totally different breed than carey con 'rasslers of past generations, the world has changed, and so have the people in this industry. That said, these guys have no business experience, and it will hurt them at times. Like I said in the first post, getting a viable TV deal will be the key.
