Damn I never did give details of our little 'MainEventLeague promo tour' at Download Fest!
Basically me and my bros are all over the Progress Wrestling show which took place there, look out for the MainEventLeague banners ruining the camera shot on everyone's entrance!
We got talking to Jim Smallman, Comedian/co owner of Progress, who's already seen my fed! He told me when he first saw it on Twitter, he thought it was another wrestling company, but then he discovered it was figures and loved it more! A really decent chap.
Then, after the show, I got pretty drunk and went and started a scrap with Jimmy Havok. Who promptly shoved me on my ass like the super-heel he is, amongst the melee I slam-dunked about a thousand #MainEventLeague fliers over the fence and into the Progress backstage area. Which caused a right buzz on the Twitter feed in the days that followed!
We met Andy from the band Every Time I Die (who got involved with the wrestling) and gave him a flier, he now follows the fed on Twitter too! My girlfriend and Andy were still co-bantering with Havok on Twitter for days afterwards haha.. We also met the guy who paid £60 for a broken table that Andy powerbombed Jimmy Havok through. Unbelievable!
All of this is being re-run every day on UK music channel Scuzz, on a show called "The Lowdown". Keep your eyes peeled for me and the missus in the front by the entrance way with our MainEventLeague fliers!!
Overall it was a massive success! We gave out so many fliers and met so many like minded wrestling fans. It was super fun! A good way of getting my work out there whilst meeting some pretty awesome people at the same time. It's crazy how many guys we met had already come across my fed through my endless Twitter spamming! Get down to your local Indy show and follow my lead, it's worth it guys!

I've got to watch out and make sure PROGRESS don't notice I, ahem, "borrowed" their Punk Rock Pro Wrestling tag line now they're aware of our alternate universe...
