Good luck with that. I talked to a few smaller promotions. They didn't really even want to try.

I own quite a few promotion names and other wrestlers and talent. On Steem one of my earlier usernames was tagged by Steemcleaners. It ruined that account. I had created some accounts for promotions, sent some steem and powered up, and posted a few things so they could see some earnings on some content.

I tried using IG, email, twitter, etc to reach them and offer the accounts to them. Every account and post clearly stated that this was a fan account to show pro wrestling that they would do great on Steem. I got dinged and they started downvoting my actual account as well as each promotion/wrestler accounts. I was transparent and honest about what i was trying to do.

Weird, cuz nowdays people do that on Steem/Hive a lot and it's acceptable. Like I saw Threespeak was running an account for London Real. Which is great.. that's the idea I had for wrestling. Show them what your content can earn, attract them to the platform.

Indy wrestling and even the big promotions rely on social media. They build storylines on social media. I could see some features on Hive being useful to promotions. Beneficiaries for one. How great could that be for promotions, wrestlers, managers, refs, writers, producers, cameramen, editors, etc. They could truly pay everyone with that feature for every piece of content they post. Plus creating your own tokens for promotions.

I mean token monetization is a really unique idea. Like I see certain things like promotions creating tokens for their belts and the champs hold those tokens. Then you sell a limited number of tokens for fans to hold a token that allows them access to things like pics, autographs, chats, etc. with the champs... only token holders get that access. And of course once the promotion sells the initial tokens, fans can trade the token on the open market. They may use the token for a pic/autograph and live chat room with Jericho, but once he drops the belt to Cody, someone may want to sell their token cuz they'd rather have their Hive back at a profit, than to interact with a specific champ. Some will want to hold those access tokens forever or a long time. That would drive the value and price of that token way up.

I mean wrestlers could create tokens with their catch phrases, limited edition and if you own that token, you get badges. The promotion could do the work and earn a cut, but wrestlers have the ability to do a lot of cool stuff and earn more if they learn how to use this tech.

Storylines could be built entirely on Hive. You could technically run an entire promotion on Hive. But man, getting them to see the potential and listen and give it a try. That's the difficult part.
