Well the site had gone rather quiet so I thought that it was time for something, honest but perhaps a little controversial. It seems to have worked!

I must say I am very relieved to have received, as much support as I have and I do trust that those valid criticisms posted here will be taken in the spirit that they are offered by any promoter who recognises his product here. I can only "say it" as I "see it"!

It was good to receive support from someone in the business like “Ellis”, who also runs shows around the West Country. CSF like Premier knows how to put on an enjoyable and professional show! Their product may be completely different in _style_, a bit too American for my own personal taste, but that same commitment is always there!

A special thanks also to Kate as always, for her amazing honesty, and for her support.
She is someone who knows so much more about this profession than we “fans” who dare to post our opinions so readily and publicly on these forums.

It is at this point that I am feeling brave enough to say that on this particular occasion Kate has got it slightly wrong!

Kate and I know the particular show that she is speaking about; we were both there weren’t we?
Yes, Kate was on a show that was not very good, and yes several of my 10 criteria on “How not to present a Wrestling Show” were met.

However, Kate will find it hard to believe that this was not the show I was referring to in my original posting!
I went to another show a few weeks before the one she was on and my original posting was _base_d upon that night. The fact that the show Kate appeared in also met so many of my criteria does indicate very clearly some of the problems of the business today.

I did suggest before that many of you reading this might recognise many of my points in the current shows that they attend every night of the week!
Well, Kate obviously did, and never has my point been more clearly made!

I am happy to confirm that both of these shows took place a very long way away from Weymouth. Weymouth is certainly on my list of “must attend” future venues and I look forward to getting there some time in the future. Old David might even bring Young Dowland in with him!

Thank you Kate!
