typical Ohio penchant of constant drama leading to promotions splitting and then no one ever wants to work with anyone else so guys get stuck only working for one or two promotions and then never develop their skills.

That's basically what happened in Cincy with promoters, wrestlers and even fans. It got so bad that people were purposely running against one another and even trying to sabotage shows. The whole thing was limited to a small number of people but it became such a problem that it turned off a lot of normal fans and they just quit going to shows. There's 250-300 people month in, month out and then 6 months later there's like 25.
