When he "left" the first time was he still running things behind the scenes? I know that was inferred in this video. Seems like there'd be some angry investors somewhere here.
Still have all my 1PW dvds from 2006, great times seeing some of the shows live as a teenager. The All or Nothing 1PW book is a very interesting read, highly recommend!
Can't wait for them to announce there next show. I heard it's gonna be a six man tag between Andre the Giant,Rick Rude,Iron Sheikh vs Macho Man, Buddy Rodgers and classy Freddie Blassie
I heard Owen Hart, The British Bulldog & Jim Neidhart will face off against the Road Warriors & Umaga. And The Main Event will be Eddie Guerrero vs Bray Wyatt for the 1PW Championship
21:57 they do realize they can be taken to court for that right? Not sure about British law but in Canada if an event holder (lets say a wrestling company) has to cancel an event for whatever reason and refuses to do refunds u can sue them for the money owed. i cant remember what its called but its basically because they didnt deliver services promised (the wrestling event) they have to give the money back OR offer free tickets to another show. I've heard it happening that a Indie company couldnt make a show due to personal tragedy so they told the fans and said "if u bring ur ticket with POP (Proof of Purchase) to our next event we will let you in for free"
@jayhari1713 after they got released they setup and Indie show in the UK, alot of names were advertised one being nia jax - no one got paid, fans got tickets and show never went ahead. Last I seen fans didn't get refunds either
@@jayhari1713 they both had a event called WES had several fellow ex colleagues at the time on the event on the card the tickets weren’t cheap original date was postponed because of queen’s jubilee at the time and the new date was revealed then was cancelled just days before several of the wrestlers who were booked weren’t paid and decided not to go but a few went to Nottingham
yeah, a random collection of stars from the era and runs a few shows with questionable booking... the only thing not universe-like is the constant closings
Me and my partner were owed refunds for tickets can’t remember how but got Stephen Gauntley number called him and it took me telling him that my lawyers were involved to get our money back that took a good 6 months. I know people who are still waiting promised refunds to this day
19:38 Cardona is totally real on this one. That bloke was supposed to get 3 American talents for his October event flying in from us in Romania. Not once has anyone from here ever even heard a "hello" from Gauntley, leave alone other itinerary discussions. Goes to show how much he thought of his workers..
@@ryanjohnson5343 yeah I was also at All or Nothing, was a defo a banger, shame about the pissed up lads scrapping at the end lol. I ended up on the third row cos I was in a cast as well, the security took one look at me and we were seated up the stairs and just were like, nah sit here
@@nickyhf1861I somehow forgot about the scrap😂 Will Ospreay couldn't believe it😂 It was cool that he went and got that kid out and let him in the ring and stuff instead! Oh that's actually pretty cool of the security !
I remember getting scammed by a wrestling company years ago (2011) when I was a kid. Just gone back through my email and wouldn't you know who won the pony - It was 1PW & Danny Rodd! I remember they took the money and didn't send any tickets and went completelty radio silent about the event. We learnt through social media that most of the American talent that had allegedly been booked wasn't going to be there and as we still had no confirmation that the show was happening or if we could even get in without having being sent a ticket we decided to cut our losses and not go (travel would have cost just as much or more than the actual ticket) Looking at cagematch it looks like they actually had a show, but it wasn't the show that was advertised with the talent that we bought tickets to see.
Reminds me of mom and pop shop in my neighborhood growing up. When they weren't making money, they would put out the "GOING OUT for BUSINESS" sale. Typical coke head money mark promotion.
I went to every Doncaster show until Will Not Die. I also went to Danny Rodd's The New Divide, there were less than 100 fans in Liverpool Olympia. I shouted "Mordacai" at Kevin Thorne. He replied "At least Mordacai got me paid" 😂😂😂
I actually attended 2 of the 1PW shows they hosted when they returned. At the Doncaster Dome. Got to meet RVD and Micke James but god was it expensive 😭
10:53 it was originally "1PW A Twist Of Fate" because Matt Hardy was released from WWE. Following V1 returning to WWE, the event was retitled "A CRUEL Twist Of Fate"
I commented on the original video. My brothers attended the first few shows. I bought all the dvds from the first run and still have them. I completely forgot they came back in 2011 i only remember the newest iteration. But after that first run i wouldn't trust them again.
1PW were involved in that pathetic Frontiers of Honour 2 show. I bought the DVD from the merch table at an All Star show purely for the Easter egg of a Premier Promotions bout between Johnny Kidd and Nigel McGuinness. Not only did the bout wipe the floor with anything else on the disc but so did the venue and crowd, a packed out World Of Sport type civic theatre versus a sparse High school gym. In the 2020s another old school promotion Rumble posts TH-cam clips of its shows and they are better attended than FOH2.
I recall when they brought Flair over. Me and a friend are still waiting for that loan back from Rodd to cover Flairs £10k fee (no we didn't stump up the full fee.)
You’ve skimmed over a lot of facts here. For example - 1PW didn’t run Will Not Die at all. I get you’ve summarised a lot of things but the truth is definitely stranger than fiction.
Can we get a 1pw Playlist please so I don't have to hunt down all your 1pw. Also can we get a Playlist for the other sucky wrestling promo thingy. The one when the wrestlers fought each other with no crowd in a super dim room? Please and I love your content
What’s sad is like majority of these indies that come out they go way too big too soon and don’t build nothing up they put themselves in a bad position when they give the expectation that every show will be star studded with the biggest names in wrestling if you don’t have Ted Turner money chill and stop trying to be the best right away build something unique develop your own stars bring in 2 or 3 big names a card build your promotion up spend that money on marketing get followers people just don’t get it
I remember going to the first show back and the two they held in Lincoln. The sad part is, had they done it correctly they legitimately could of had a good thing going. Shame the guy running it was a coke head determined to not let his company succeed and screw over his talent.
Ok, So AEW hasn't ripped off anyone. They haven't advertised shows and then canceled them or canceled guest appearances. So WWEfanboy, please tell me how this is like them?
Top10 has singlehandedly buried 1PW lmfao.
I mean, not single-handedly.
1PW single-handedly buried itself, Top10 did a cool Exposé. 🤷
1PW was never above ground to be buried
1PW screwed 1PW
This is not the first 1PW burial, and it gets funnier every time.
Paying a wrestler on a payment plan is SAD 😂😂
Mike Bailey has talked about having to do payment plans for promoters before.
How the fuck has Steven Gaunley not been jailed for Money Fraud
When he "left" the first time was he still running things behind the scenes? I know that was inferred in this video. Seems like there'd be some angry investors somewhere here.
Every white collar under the sun is corrupt. And yet they're not behind bars, are they?
Top10 doing retrospectives on outlaw shows would be tops. XPW, CZW, etc.
dont forgot the biggest outlaw show iwa deep south and iwa mid south
AEW air their outlaw mudshow every week 🤣
I can watch updates on these scammers again and again.
Still have all my 1PW dvds from 2006, great times seeing some of the shows live as a teenager.
The All or Nothing 1PW book is a very interesting read, highly recommend!
I never understood how some of these owners were never jailed !!
Can't wait for them to announce there next show. I heard it's gonna be a six man tag between Andre the Giant,Rick Rude,Iron Sheikh vs Macho Man, Buddy Rodgers and classy Freddie Blassie
With Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan as color commentators

1PW must've had some crazy amazing Wrestling for it to keep coming back
it did have popular names like AJ Styles, Samoa Joe and Jeff Jarrett so people liked seeing the big names

the irony of the pay per view names & the unfolded events:
know your enemy - person identified
no turning back - they turned back

I got a bunch of 1PW dvds ROH website had a sell on them for $3 a dvd so bought like 15 of there shows. Back in the day.
Love seeing these callouts, have you done Wrestling Entertainment Series (WES)?
I attended the shitshow in Liverpool and vowed to never do another 1PW show ever again.

Yeah I mentioned this on the original upload
That sound effect at 11:30 what is that from???? I’ve heard it before , but I can remember where from??? It’s driving me crazy lol someone help

I did consider at the time going to the HBK show at Doncaster, glad I didn't!

SG went on to do PW101 inbetween his 1PW runs too!
I don't want to wrestle for 1pw.
And I would not want to Ring Announce for them neither, I agree 😂
Should've had the Hulksta come over. That would've really had the fans coming in droves.
I feel like TNA/impact wrestling gets too much hate nowadays I mean, it wasn’t a bad company then and now it’s OK
If 1PW ever does return I hope it’s from good management but who knows if that would fix the damage of they past
No Turning Back is a great name for a cancelled show
It's a real shame that a company on my door steps was such a shitty one I was really looking forward to having wrestling back at the dome
Love the video
Sadly I was someone who was scammed by 1PW and SG
What a trainwreck
They scammed me and my mates
Being a bit dodgy, if not an outright crook, may be a prerequisite for being a wrestling promoter.
The owners definitely need "professional advice". 🤪💩💦🙄

Wasn’t there a 3PW as well?
Yep. Pro Pain Pro Wrestling. That was a US based indie. Lots of former ECW guys.
When I want it, he blindfolds me.
I knew when he said gauntley left the company i had a feeling he never went away just hiding out of sight so to say
How embarrassing
6:06 when was HBK not a big deal?
Why have you uploaded this when its already on your channel
