Giving Back To NYWC Fans

[Roger]

I remember one fo the shows last year, coozies were given out to fans as they were coming into the building. Why not do something like give away free T-shirts or give a free ticket to those who buy 2 for a show? Or have a fan guest ring announce a match or a guest manager for a wrestler's match?

I remember in the early days of NYWC at the defunct Deer Park Community Center, many wrestlers were in a seperate room for photo opps & autographs for fans. These days many on the roster are out selling merchandise before shows as well as intermission. I also remember they did many fundraisers and additional shows in other parts of Long Island.

We have been giving away tickets during the shows via a Twitter contest. On multiple occasions we have given away other items such as beanies and t-shirts (and the mentioned coozies). Although we love interacting with the fans in any way we can... due to insurance concerns and a tightening of the rules by the NYSAC we rarely allow any non competitor or non staff member on the other side of the rail. And thank you Robert for mentioning that we do fundraisers and the like. We do as a company and in some cases un-publicized circumstances assist and donate to charitable organizations. We enjoy giving back and just plain helping out. Thank you for being a fan and continuing to support us. Hope to see you at the shows!

I unfortunately lost my coozie. I can't wait to see what NYWC has in store for 2016.

I've never bought a wrestling ticket expecting a free t shirt or any free merch I don't feel entitled to anything like that. They give us great wrestling consistently once a month that's what what we pay for from them. as far as "giving back" to us loyal longtime fans? I'll pass on free drink coozies and t shirts.. give us more promos and video segments and stuff on YouTube! More content to sink our teeth into

Roger - what we have done is create the NYWC Archives. If you've seen any of the promotional material or posts on social media, when you sign up for the Archives at $2.99 a month, after the 6th month of your membership you get a free NYWC general admission ticket (Psycho Circus not included)or free month of the Archives. So if you spend $17.94 you get 6 months of the NYWC Archives and a free show ticket with a $20 value. I'm surprised more of our die-hard fans haven't jumped on this yet !!!! I'd say that's giving back to the fans.

Here are some ideas:

Let the fans predict who will win the matches at the shows and whoever gets the most right, get a free ticket for the next show or have replica championship belts for the top 3 who get their predictions right where those fans who win those belts have to come to the next show to defend the belts or be stripped of their titles. In addition, why not have some NYWC merchandise like the old shirts, hats, & other items that were sold years ago at shows?

I will pass about the belts. However the predictions idea is good.
