Are most of these shows in the Freemont area or closer to Henderson? Last time I was in Vegas I thought it would be awesome to set up a ring and run a show right under the LED ceiling at the walkway in Freemont. Heck, that place is just like a circus and I think wrestling would fit in perfectly. most of these FSW shows are at the FSW Arena and then every 3 months they have one of their bigger shows (like last night) at Sam's Town, both places are closer to Henderson though I do completely/100% agree with you that wrestling would fit in perfectly on Fremont Street. A couple of years ago the owner of FSW told me he had plans to do a show on Fremont Street, but I don't think that actually happened. For my game feds, Vegas Wrestling Guerrilla has had show there before and Combat Vegas Wrestling has an announced upcoming show there called Violent Fun Under the Vegas Sun. On a side note, speaking of downtown/Fremont Street, on a field trip urban renewal lesson for this class I have to take at work, yesterday morning I was in the temporary downtown office (until the new permanent office is finished being renovated at the old City Hall building) of Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh. My class had a personal tour and from the top of that building I got to see all the current vacant lots around downtown and hear about Zappos's plans to turn those lots into new businesses (i.e. restaurants, bars, an outdoor movie theater- but a walk in and not a drive in, etc.) I like Fremont Street, but it would be awesome to see the vacant areas around it revitalized too. Zappos's decision in late 2010 to move its headquarters to Las Vegas may turn out to be one of the best things to happen to this city since I moved here in 1999. That's funny. Tony Hsieh's style of management and his innovation in the supply chain was something studied specifically in more than a few of my MBA classes. |

You might already have it, but they offered us free copies of Tony Hsieh's book on the tour yesterday too. I am not sure if this fits in with your MBA coursework but, while I was on that field trip to his office yesterday, I was informed there were 4 reasons why Tony Hsieh selected Las Vegas as the new headquarters for Zappos: 1) the 24/7 hour culture (he wants his employees to be able to enjoy life when they get off work) 2) no state tax 3) the big pool of service labor provided by the local Las Vegas population 4) Las Vegas is home to the world's biggest shoe convention |

Young Bucks return in February to take on Reno Scum at the Silverton Casino!

1 week from tonight, it is the Young Bucks vs Reno Scum from the Silverton Casino here in Las Vegas! also, Kenny King- the first FSW champion- again challenges for the title I am not sure if Drake Younger makes his FSW debut on this show, but since he has been booked by FSW I am really looking forward to seeing hm wrestle here soon in my home town. FSW is also reportedly currently negotiating with Ricochet and Rich Swann too about upcoming possible appearances.  |

I just got back from going to the FSW show at the Silverton casino with my friends Ryan, Mary, and Yan.
The best match of the night was definitely the Young Bucks vs Reno Scum. As I expected, Kenny King's team lost in the main event which means Hater Nation has to break up.
From CWFH, James" Main Event" Morgan and Tito Escondido made their FSW debuts tonight and Che Cabrera (who teamed with Escondido,) Cedric the Hitman, and Heather Lynn all once again appeared for FSW too.
I talked to the Young Bucks both before and after tonight's show and they signed my copies of their ROH cards.
Looking really forward to the FSW show at the Silverton in April when Drake Younger makes his FSW debut!
