and bounds, and today is one of the most respected
wrestling journalists in the world.
Chris
Yandek discusses the promoting scence in the United
States.
What makes a great wrestling
promoter?
"Someone
who doesn't lie. Someone who always pays the guys
on times. Someone who looks out for his workers."
How
much of a threat is NWATNA to the WWE?
"How
can a company like NWATNA that is not making any major
money be a threat to WWE?"
What
kind of methods have you used do successfully to promote
yourself?
"I
am not a wrestling promoter. The internet can be an
important outlet to reach people from other areas
for sure."
How
is Australia's own Nathan Jones being received by
the American public?
"He
is no wrestler. He is a joke to many."
What
wrestling promotions and companies have been most
supportive to you over the years?
"From
a journalistic stand point, I think WCW, WWE, ECW,
and NWATNA have all been good to me on media stories".
...end.
