I was thinking bout this recently, and Im curious, and this is mainly directed toward workers/promoters. Have any of you ever experienced stuff like blackballing and things like that, as well as promoters stepping on others toes, etc, be it one upping/stealing talent for shows, etc.

I think from what Ive observed, and noticed, that this shit must be a bit more prevalent than I might have thought of. Plus, Im sure there are petty reasons behind a lot of things too.

I know for some, they may not be able to "name names", but Im just curious as to how much of this you guys/gals think actually happens out there.

I'm not a promoter or a worker (yet) but toe-stepping does happen. I once saw a situation where a rival promotion once hijacked a thread about another promotion's school on this other promotion's forum.

After that, the promoters deleted the rival's post and took away guest access on the forum

True enough, but I'd still like some honest answers from wrestlers/refs/ringannouncers/promoters/bell ringers, etc, anyone who may have experienced this stuff..

are you serious? it happens all the time... have you never read stories about how women's wrestling used to be run way back when, or like, any story ever about the history of a wrestling promotion? you know, for an old guy you're really naive

Has this got anything to do with why Bricco not booking you?

[GrayGhost]

Just something I was thinking about. I seem to see it at times, and just was curious. Thanks for everyone's replies.

Yes it does...even though the topic starter will not admit it.

Great way to sidestep the question.

[Randy Orton]

There is politics in everything, why would wrestling be different?

Hey enforcer, why do you have a fat sheep as an avatar?

[Tauron Nox]

Given that his location now says "Sheep go to heaven",
My guess is that it is a reference to the band Cake.

Ghost is just mad they booked Ralph Waldridge instead of him for this video -

[GrayGhost]

What video? says its no longer available.

I had an interesting discussion last night w a friend about this very topic. Interesting insights indeed. Its strange too how many people seem to run on blind faith, in life, love and the wrestling game too.

[EricYoungFan]

It happens everywhere, it's how you handle it that matters.

[fat and stinky 24/7]

is it ethical to get invited to a party over someones house who is supposed to be your friend and then steal stuff from the house then make phone calls late at night telling her to put her visor on and look outside to find notes about the missing stuff?
