There are some entries in my blog – sheldongoldberg.blogspot.com – that cover the subject of independent wrestling that may shed some more light on our discussion for Monday.

You can also look at some of our recent Internet TV shows – NECW.tv – which will give you more of an insight into our product. Our websites – NECWwrestling.com and WorldWomensWrestling.com – are also good resources.

I look forward to seeing you all on Monday.

Interesting post. I really liked the allusion to minor league baseball which is astonishingly on point. Cal Ripken's franchising of his hometown minor league team leaps to mind when Sheldon discusses becoming the face of his company.

I'd add that a number of fans of minor league ball / college / high school athletics find a number of the games just as enthralling as the major leagues, even more so when the games aren't blowouts. So in addition to the fans looking for a cheaper option, there tends to be a "purist" aspect as well. Wonder if Sheldon has seen that carry over as well.

Also curious to see whether the concern of talent leeching has ever come into play for the new breed of local indy scenes, or if that's a bridge not yet crossed.
