Well, I'm only familiar with PGW, DPW, NEW and POV. And I don't think any of those promoters are tools. I can't judge the others because I haven't been to one of their shows or follow their promotions much. So my answer is none of the above, but not for that reason you have listed.

I think you need to get out more...and discover there are plenty more wrestling promotions than ones in Connecticut.

Good for her she seems to have finally realized there's more to wrestling that DPW, NEW, POV and PGW. However, no disrespect intended towards those aforementioned promotions.

Get better...get some rest and you should feel better by Saturday...see you then if you can make it.

Well, except indirectly he is. His very talented students work for PGW, so he's associated that way, indirectly. And it's definetly a great contribution to the CT indy scene. And I'm being pretty unbiased here, considering the history between Paul Roma and I from a few years ago at The Cardinal Sheehan Center. Embarassed But, let's not go there. He must be a great teacher to have turned out the likes of Lukas Sharp, Chris Battle and I think Andy Sweet and most of those other guys. Gotta hand it to him. ANd all these kids are very professional. He must be doing something right. Any involvement of his in PGW beyond that is a mystery to me.

It's not that hard, people can do a search and there have been some recent examples. Also, some names listed aren't anywhere as bad as others but I figured I'd throw them in for laughs.

As for which fed each poster promotes, some of the feds they shill are listed on the portal.

I will admit it, Paul Roma asks me to shill PGW on here. Not sure why since he is active here too.

If Paul is involved, good for him. I give PGW credit for the string of shows and successes they've had.

Really? I could have sworn that he was somehow involved via training or something. Wouldn't be the first time I was wrong, though.

Jokes aside, no, Mr. Roma does not have any ties to PGW other than the irony that many of our workers were trained by him.

You can see why people would think otherwise, and not just the Power and Glory name.

PGW seems to be picking up right where Roma and CCW left off with their booking style. Mainly pushing Brian Anthony to the moon. Brian's 's a good kid and a competent wrestler, but the push by both companies seem extreme.

So tell me something. Who does run PGW?

Brian was one of the cornerstones when PGW started, and is an excellent young talent to build around. Hes a reliable guy too, who won't no show, etc. Plus, now, he has a lot more experience and skill now, than in the old Roma CCW days, when it was a bit more "Iffy" that he got pushed over some of the guys he did.

Im sure if PGW wants people to know who runs it, they will. I don't see any relevance at all tho.

Relevance to what? What the hell are you talking about?

If PGW doesn't want people to know who is behind their shows I would wonder why. Ain't no other wrestling company that we don't know who runs it.

Another PGW/CCW connection is Joe LaChance.

Seems like after CCW killed themselves with Roma's attitude on their final show, the only way they could stay up and running would be to create a new identity.

Things that make you say "hmmmm."

I dont see why its relevant who "runs" it.

Joe has a hand in things Im sure, and the person who posts as Power and Glory wrestling I believe does the writing.

The Company says Paul isn't involved. I don't know if thats true, but I do know that right now, its the best thing thats happend in CT in a long time, wrestling wise.

If the "owners" of PGW want to tell us who they are on the board, Im sure they will. I do know that I have enjoyed every show since they start em up, so whoever is "running it", kudos to them for entertaining me each show I attend. THANK YOU

I agree with Ghost as far as how good and enjoyable PGW shows are. It's a really well run, professional company with a lot of bright young talent. I knew Brian was talented and I thought he deserved a push. They wanted a new guy who could stand out and sort of be a cornerstone for the company. I've never seen him "no show", he's professional, and a company guy. Every promotion has their like go to guy who you associate with that promotion when you think of them. I'd say DPW's guy is Chris Mooch. Both of these guys are professional, dedicated and talented guys. I'm not choosing one over the other, and definetly not choosing as far as promotions go. We are lucky to have to such good promotions in CT, though vastly different in styles. There's something for everyone in CT.

I think PGW is a fine little promotion and they got themselves a good sized audience.

The relevance to who runs the joint is this: They come on here and state that Roma is not involved. So I ask who is.

Also this is an independent wrestling message board where we talk about independent wrestling. Such thing as who is behind a company is a relevant topic.

I also say, if Roma is involved even behind the scenes: SO WHAT.

YOUR WELCOME.
