I have read the DGUSA/Evolve State Of Address newsletter.This is my Response.......I have one complant....That was when tickets for Wrestlecon went on sale I was told from Gabe that tickets would get sent in the first week of october I did not get them until 2nd week of November....Other then that I don't have any complants or nothing bad to say as a wrestling fan in today's wrestling world I know it is difficult for a indy promotion to make it in todays wrestling world,This not the 90's..Every DGUSA/Evolve show I have bought this year has been well worth the money,And I will continue to buy DGUSA/Evolve shows,I even bought tickets to DGUSA/Evolve and Chikara shows this will be my first time watching them live in person first time watching chikara ever, and I can not wait.I will be buying DGUSA/Evolve dvds on friday.....Keep up the good work...and good luck in 2013.......

It's a good complaint, because I had the same problem in 2010 when DGUSA came to Toronto for Uprising. I along with a ton of people never got their tickets for the show, upsetting just about everyone. Gabe kept saying, you'll get them, you'll get them. But nope. Tons of people didn't. Then Gabe was very lighthearted about it, saying all you needed to do was show your I.D at the door.
This is just a part of WWN's overall problem of running a very slow business. It tie's in with their deathly slow DVD production, which they've been saying they'll fix for years, but never have.
DGUSA/EVOLVE can sometimes be a great wrestling promotion, but they lost tons of momentum from being run half-hazardly.

I feel ya. I used to get all the DVDs as soon as they came out, but now I just don't feel it. I'll still get them, but I'd have no problem waiting every year for black friday to get 50% off. It looks like they just released a bunch of DVDs but then you look back and realize they're still almost 6 months behind in events. I don't know how their operation is run, but I think they need some help. I'm not telling them to pump out one day DVD-rs like smartmarkvideo, cause i wouldn't buy that, but man, its just slow.

Evolve 12 took place May 11th. Looking at old tweets, Gabe watched DVD proof on September 13th. Its listed as shipping today January 4th.
Thats 4 months to get a DVD proof and then 4 months more to get it to ship.
Evolve 13 took place a day later, May 12th. Again, looking at old tweets, Gabe started watching the DVD proof September 24th and finished watching the proof on October 2nd, over a week later. Its now on preorder shipping on January 14th.
He just got Evolve 14 and 15 DVD proofs on Dec 27th. Those events were 5 months ago.
PWG is a tiny fed too, but they release DVDs within 2 months while it takes 4 4 months for wwn to even get DVD proofs.
And I don't want to be told events are already available ondemand. Theres people that want streaming and theres people that want the DVDs. I'm one of those DVDs people, theres other DVD people out there too because I hear em. I live in a hurricane sandy affected area and my internet service feels like dial up speed. I can't load a page with pictures let alone try to stream something. Theres people that have lost their homes so its silly to even complain about internet service, but its still a point, I just chill with my PWG dvds.
edit - I don't want to come across like I'm taking a dump on them, I only watch PWG and DGUSA/EVOLVE. But they gotta put em out for me to watch.

It's a unfortunate situation. |
