Liger is now doing a few dates for ROH in November. Rumor has it he's also doing a fed dark match. I wonder what the chances are we could get him here??

This could be a fun thread, let's think of things that have less of a chance of happening. I'll start. Vincent K. himself coming in to resolve the N~Con/Wood feud.

I would only HOPE and PRAY that N~Con could pull off bringing in Liger for a show. I am definately going to the 11/6 ROH show now that he's there. If N~Con could pull it off.....he'd draw a solid house for that one.

Well I mean, you can always draw more, but the crowds for at least the past half-year have been pretty consistent. The people who know who Liger is are ALREADY going to the shows. The only additional people you'd draw would be from word of mouth from those people, or perhaps some additional fans from the internet. If you think that Joe Average Wrestling Fan is going to attend a show because Liger is there, you aren't understanding the wrestling landscape.

I know that it's one of N~Con's all time dreams to have Liger on a show, no lie.
But your average fan is going to wonder why a 5'5" guy in a robot costume (I know it's a cross of Lion and Tiger and it's really a character from a Go Nagai manga/anime that was turned into a comic book character) is open hand slapping me in the face until I piss blood.

See you are missing the point. There are a lot of smarks that don't go to the shows because of the IWC only guys. Something like Liger would draw those fans in. I know they already get solid draws, but for an example if they did a show up BIG.....then he would be able to fill the entire CCAC gym instead of half.....that is only one example though.........

No, they'll already be going to ROH to see him there.
It'd be nice to have him on the show, and really cool for those of us who grew up as Japanese fans, but oh well.

If that's the case then those people are complete idiots and probably aren't the type of people you want wandering outside alone, let alone into your wrestling show. Are you implying that some people don't go to the shows because the shows include some IWC only wrestlers? That's just downright stupid. Yeah, let's not go see A.J. Styles because Eric Xtasy is on the show. And for that matter who really IS an IWC-only guy? I'm trying to think of who works EXCLUSIVELY for IWC. Gambino maybe? Or maybe you were trying to say something totally different and you just didn't say it well.

Or maybe you were trying to say something totally different and you just didn't say it well. First off, let me say for the record that I am NOT one of those fans. Also, you'd be surprised at the stupidity of some of the so called "smart" fans. And a lot of them would skip a show because even though AJ is on it.....there maybe two or three guys that they HATE. Not to say this is fair, but unfortunately........people are like that.

If they don't like IWC wrestlers, don't go then. So they won't go to see Styles with IWC wrestlers, but they will go to see Liger with IWC wrestlers.

Exactly, well AJ wrestles all over the country, where as they would have to go to Japan to do so any other time.

Yea most people are worthless..... But any how Liger can give some palm strikes and Brainbusters all day I'd be happy just as long as he doesnt do his Super Thunder Liger Driver Special.

Hey liger would be cool but we can't ask that of N~Con. Liger probably charges a ton of money for appearances, well im guessing anyway. I dont agree with foley coming again because i dont know how many more fans it will bring. Hopefully alot because i would love to come and see a gym filled iwc show.

hell just bring in too cold scorpio while your at it.
if IWC is bringing in an outsider he needs to draw a crowd.
With Punk going away for awhile and cabanna working europe until october. That makes for an interesting sept line up. I am anxious to see what N~Con puts together for us. Either way I know we will get more then our money's worth.

This is just what I think and you can think whatever you want on what I'm going to say. I'd rather see Wood and N~Con be refs then to see Foley come in again. Foley was one of my favorite wreslters for years (I have a life size Foley above my head right now) but I think N~Con/Wood would have been sweet. But it will be cool meeting Foley again.
