10 Ways Jeff Jarrett Can Make His New Wrestling Promotion A Success 

8. Go Extreme

ECW was a small company who made a lasting impact on wrestling across the world. As well as showcasing some of the various international wrestling styles, it had one niche which it was synonymous with the promotion and one which it utilized as its strength: extreme wrestling. All matches had an anything goes style and anything and everything could be a weapon for a wrestler to use. Referees were only there to count the pins and submissions. All wrestling companies adopted the extreme, hardcore style and it has been a wrestling staple ever since. Many weapons and matches utilized by the Paul Heyman led promotion have become fan favourites. Wrestlers crashing through tables is something all fans want to see, and they love to see them being hit with kendo sticks, road signs, fire extinguishers and the like. Matches such as the Tables, Ladders and Chairs ladder match and the Elimination Chamber wouldn't have come about without ECW pushing the limits and this has led to many iconic hardcore wrestling moments, many involving Mick Foley (an ECW star before joining the WWE). Excluding backyard wrestling, no professional company has filled the extreme gap left by Heyman and ECW. The demand for hardcore wrestling is still there: the WWE has an Extreme Rules PPV and has special hardcore matches such as Hell In a Cell in other shows, but it can't push the envelope enough to appease older fans. Jarrett could steal a march on all promotions by adopting a more hardcore style and providing fans with must see moments. If he can take classic match styles and give them a new twist, fans old and new could thrive on the diet his promotion could offer.
