Guest Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 Yeah that too, I got home the second the UFC main event finished. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted November 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 I got home at 2am. Had to travel back North. Got lost briefly too. Lol. Btw, Jack Evans no-showed. Dude was advertised right up until the event, to my knowledge. So...did he just bail on his obligation or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although...don't they usually atleast announce "official" stuff like that to the live crowd? Maybe he did no show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still doesn't make sense tho...considering, Ricochet was supposed to be on the card and was specifically pulled for LU tapings. But they said as much. Evans on the other hand, was still advertised. I don't know...just doesn't really seem right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generations Posted November 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Its independent wrestling, shit happens all the time. I know. I get that. I'm just saying...other people pulled from the show and they were announced as having done so. Evans is the only dude where it was never mentioned that he wouldn't be there. Show came and went...and he was nowhere to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astro Zombie Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 Sounds like a fun show overall. I never watched any of the JAPW stuff from their heyday but the shows they ran last year were fantastic IMO and I was somewhat disappointed that they didn't make it a regular thing but from a business standpoint I guess it does make sense. Did anyone hear anything about another show or was this their last hurrah? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted November 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 Did anyone hear anything about another show or was this their last hurrah? I assume that they will be doing a 20th anniversary show next year. On the facebook page, they thanked the family of Fat Frank for being strong, and one of the things said was "To Jenn, Jake and Gianna, thank you for being super courageous on the most difficult night we have ever had. Jake, your hired for the next show!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willows Way Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 JAPW hasnt been running strong since 2010 ish i believe. Its just been one maybe 2 shows a year as opposed to the 10 or so a year back in the day. I used to go to every show i miss those times. It taught me alot about wrestling.

Generations Posted November 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 Yeah...they seem like one of those organizations that would rather go all-out and really treat their fans to a great show than actually make money. I don't see how they could have the names they have and actually make any profit at all. Just seems like a labor of love to me...which really makes me love it even more.

Astro Zombie Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 It's probably better to run a few times a year rather than monthly from a financial standpoint as well. A random show in April headlined by Chris Dickinson vs. Joey Janela could draw a few hundred people, but a once a year supercard with stuff like Rey/Low Ki is guaranteed to fill the building. It's more expensive but less risky when you look at how many indy promotions are running the New Jersey area on a regular basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly the case as ive had family work backstage in the company and its never been about money to JAPW but just to be the best. I dont know if they still sell all their old dvds but id recommend all of it. JAPW introduced me to so many guys on WWEs roster right now when they were on the indys.

Generations Posted November 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 I have a few of their old DVDs...I think they only offer a few of them on the official website right now...but I've picked some up from other sources in the past. I definitely want to buy the 19th anniversary on dvd or blu ray if they ever release it. They did tape the whole event...and they currently have the 18th anniversary for sale...so I think they will.
