Answer 2

AJ Styles Because Hes Young, He's Very Talented, And He's A Great Wrestler he'd be the face of my promotion for 15 years much like Nick BockWeinkel Was The Heel Of The AWA For Years.

Answer 3

more than most of us have sitting around i'm sure, the guy above is pretty much right about the ring cost, but thats all that would have a fixed price. there's alot of things you would have to research before you even began to front money, such as: business laws, insurance fees, advertising, booking a facility, etc a rough estimate would probably be in the neighborhood of $25,000 and you may sell 30-50 seats at 5 dollars a pop on a saturday evening...unless you have say a couple million lying around to sign some big name stars and do major advertising i would invest that money into something else

Answer 4

Figure on at least 2-5 thousand for a ring. Then you have to have a place to hold events. Plus maintenance of the ring, workers to set up, wrestlers, concessions... I'd say you're looking at around 10-15 grand minimum.

Answer 5

i thought wrestling was just show business...it should be easy
