Just wondering how this works,If someone were to flyer for there show at another show if this would be considered disrespectful to the promotion running that night.Ive seen this done a few times and didnt know what the proper process was or if its frowned upon.

Well everytime I did it I asked permission first and if I was told not to I wouldn't do it. I do know of other promotions that just do it without asking and in some cases arguments between promoters have happened.

yeah i've seen it done, it's bullshit. it's the same as when WWE sent DX to a WCW show, in the 90's. you're trying to steal your competiton's fan base. respect the other promotions, and the other guys working their ass off.

The ones that tick me off is the ones that flyer cars in the rain. They get soggy and unreadable anyway and it sticks to the windshields. This happened at an NEW show before with like 4 dif flyers. All the people were getting ticked off at it.

I don't like flyering cars. That kinda sucks. Handing them out to people coming out of a show is rude if it's a rival promotion.

MWF handed out flyers after the TNA house show and being that it was TNA I see that as being ok.

I think so. Next we can talk about how much wrist tape wrestlers wear. That will be exciting!

Well... if you get the promotions permission, then, handing them out at the exit is ok. As for the cars... its always good to get a promotions blessing but, esp in NJ, its anything goes.

...and the NEW flyers are great because they can get wet and not get all soggy and unreadable in the rain!

If you ask permission from the promoter and he says yes, great.... But if you do it without permission you risk getting your ass kicked.

Fight​ing onlin​e is like racin​g in the Speci​al Olympics;​ Even if you win, you'​re still​ retar​ded.

I remember that when I went to work for EPW in Fall River where the WWE stars Jerry Lewis and Ron Summon was appeared at EPW event. I saw some paper that come from ACW. it look like without permission from Promoter which is wrong to do that. U know best to ask the permission before hand out the flyer or promoter will rip that paper off

I used to promote baseball card shows with my friend, and alone, and its kind of similar. If another promoter asked permission, and his event did not run opposite another one of ours, we said ok. Most shows, that was an unwritten rule, w a few exceptions.

At Wrestling, I hate the overflyering on cars in the rain, its best to have someone handing out flyers post show, as I have seen for NEW, PGW, Wrestlejam and other shows. Again, if its done w the promoters permission, and does not run against one of his events, it shouldnt' be an issue. It doesn't "take away fans" either, it just gives them a choice, of a different show on a DIFFERENT day than the current promotion will run.

12-5 PGW
12-6 NEW
12-13 ECCW Sourbridge tbd
12-29 Uconn Hockey vs Air Force

I always found personally handing out flyers got much better results then just putting one somebody's car window.

It's ususally best to hand out flyers to fans as they're filing out of the building after a show is over. One time somebody was passing flyers for another promotion during a show and the promoter either threw him out or told him to throw the flyers away. This Saturday my friend is going to be handing out flyers at NYWC to plug my NYWC message board.
