I like this. Although the way Redemption is perceived would be just SLIGHTLY different. But this is still VERY doable. Here, this is cut and paste off the Redemption site.
Redemption is based out of St. Louis, Missouri, the hometown of Tony Field and the hometown of the old Wrestling at the Chase, that featured guys like Ric Flair, King Kong Bundy, and Harley Race.
Field, not wanting to have to share revenues with venues across the nation and pay rental prices, built a multi-million dollar arena he calls "The Grounds". It's a 27,000 seat state of the art arena that will host all Redemption shows, charging top dollar, nearly triple the typical price for a standard event at a larger "rented arena", thus generating more revenue than larger federations while going cheaper on rental and travelling expenses.
The goal of Redemption is not to be a small federation, they are far from it. Pumping more money into it than most federations world wide and generating high reveunues. Rather they are an exclusive federation, like that fine restaurant you just can't get a reservation for but you are dying to. Rather than loading up massive rosters, Redemption signs only the elite performers for top dollar, focusing on star power more than girth of roster.
Television wise, Redemption and Tony Field have turned down several television offers from major cable channels and even a major network, choosing to maintain all the revenues for Tremor and to present an uncensored product at the same time. Tremor has a weekly show entitled Salvation, which airs exclusively on www.redemptionwrestling.com for paid site members only, charging a monthly subscription of 29.95 a month and charging top dollar for advertising placement.
Not being delusional about gaining new audience however, once every six weeks Tremor will have a free televised show on HBO, commercial free, entitled Unfiltered. Unfiltered will push a Pay Per View style card. Redemption will also air 3 Pay Per Views a year at 59.95 for standard and 69.99 for the HD airing. That will be located at major arenas across the world.
Through Field Enterprises, Redemption will also put out their own DVDs and music, thus eliminating all third parties, and are currently in negotiations with Netflix and Hulu for delayed airing of Salvation.
Redemption is pushing the envelope to become the first "exclusive" fed that wants to make it money by making it rare.
Welcome to Redemption.
*NOTE: I am running a storyline somewhere down the road with Field fielding lucrative offers to travel with Redemption for more than PPVs.
