Right you want my top ten tips.. Here goes..

1.. Get the right venue, a proper entertainment venue. Most sports venues won't have wrestling now because certain promoters ripped them and the fans off.

2.. Advertising, Advertising, Advertising. Something most modern day promoters seem to forget. Promoting involves work, hard work too. Walking streets postering everywhere that you can, then a decent advertisiment campaign in local rags.

3.. Book wrestlers on talent not on who is your mate and his or her mates, and check them out. Don't just take another wrestlers recomendation, go to shows and see who and what you like.

4.. 5 or 6 match card, give the wrestlers time to work a match

5.. Finances, don't promote unless you can afford to do it

6.. Remember punters are punters and nothing more, if its a business they are there to make money for you, so sell sell sell and give them a show they will want to attend when you return

7.. If your hiring a ring, make sure its tidy, clean and does not look like its a WOS throw back, only with 700 _layer_s of chipped paint, dirty ripped canvas that probably has more bactiria on it than in your local NHS hospital and a ring apron that well looks like its been a few rounds with a thorn bush.

8.. Lighting and Sound, your putting on a show. The ring is your stage, so focus should be on the ring, simple ring lighting, decent sound system and a simple enterance way for the wrestlers to enter from. Always remember its a show and thats what people have come to see.

9.. Mix it up a bit, 6 matches all the same will send even the hardened fan to sleep, even if all 6 matches are 5 star. A bit of everything for the whole crown, bit of old school, a good gimmick match (Tables, ladders or a basic hardcore), a good womans match, some high flying, some power/monster wrestlers. It has to appeal to everyone.

10. Most important part, have fun. love what you are doing, but do it for the show, keep the punters happy and the punters give you money.
