Listen "#002 | FPW's Matt Burden: Running a Wrestling Promotion and Building Community"
Episode Synopsis
What does it take to launch your own wrestling promotion? Is it really a dream come true for a fan - or a nightmare? What's the key to long-term success and carving out a niche in a very crowded marketplace?
Matt Burden is the co-founder of UK-based independent promotion Future Pro Wrestling (FPW). Based in Surrey, FPW has had a long and winding journey of success since running its first show back in 2011.
Matt joins Ben Veal on 'Wrestling Life' to talk about his path to running a wrestling company, booking and promoting shows, lessons learned the hard way, finding his feet amongst 'the boys' and falling foul of locker room etiquette. This is a great conversation and a must-listen for anyone that's followed the resurgence of British wrestling.
