After the show at 212 Sports, the promotion announced the cancellation of their T.V. taping due to a broken ring. Normally I could accept that. They discovered the ring was broken the day of the event. But it seems a little odd to me they couldn't rent a ring from one of the other promoters in town, especially considering one of those said promoters works for them as a referee.
Then a week after the cancelled taping due to the broken ring, they announced they would not be taping any new shows until Fall. Their facebook post referenced summertime activities and sporting events as the reason. Seems to me that college football and playoff baseball in the fall would make for far greatest competition than the sun in the summer.
So for the second time in it's short history, when this promotion started building some momentum, they have gone on a hiatus. Oh well. DOA, BCW, and WCWC will be running shows all summer long, and I'm sure none of them plan on going on a three month hiatus if a ring breaks.

I had posted this below but honestly it seems more fitting here so here it goes.
ReplyDeleteSo word is now they are canceling the entire summer over a broken ring? I saw the photos and honestly it looks like a couple hundred bucks in lumber, A plasma cutter to cut out the bad piece and some iron to reinforce it and make it stronger than it was when it was new. Does Portland not have any damn welding shops in the Yellow Pages??? Another Pete Schwietzer failure and a piss poor excuse for taking the whole summer off to sing shit kicker music at county fairs.
