AS I SEE IT - 6/04/2002: Looking For an Alternative?

by: Bob Magee

Judging by recent television ratings, it seems that fans aren't happy with WWF/E booking and programming these days.

From his Ross Report, neither is Jim Ross.

According to last week's WWF/E's Byte This, neither is Steve Austin.

So, if you're a wrestling fan...rather than tune out and becoming obsessed with the latest Hollywood mega-flick...or with half-baked summer TV reruns...here's an idea: try an independent wrestling show.

Before some readers tell me yet one more time "Why do you beat the drum for the indies all the time...no one cares about them"...remember this: most of you say you aren't satisfied with the major promotion in North America.

When a product of any other kind doesn't satisfy a consumer, they normally look for an alternative. If your Ford stinks, you buy a Honda or a Chevy the next time.

It should be the same with wrestling as well.

Here are three examples for those of you living in the Philadelphia area, or within driving distance:

First, CZW presents the second annual Best of the Best, on Saturday, June 8th, at the ECW Arena, with a scheduled 8:00 pm belltime.
