>>10110822Some wrestlers did this in my area
>Rented a ring from a guy who ran another shindie>Rent out an American legion/gym>Get all the workers they're friends with on the show>Promote it really hard>Actually paid the workers before the show>Draw about 50-75 peopleThis was considered a good turnout, the show went pretty well aside from one guy concussing himself during a simple spot. Idk the financial details, but I'm assuming it cost $4000-$6000 total. They probably made $500-700 when everything was said and done. Maybe $1000 if they got any local business sponsors. They're doing another show later this year, so whoever is bankrolling it didn't take too much of a hit.
Bottom line is that a majority of wrestling is not profitable.
