let me clarify that philly has been removed from the list & has been replaced with "old legends" such as cyssero, reed, & lady luck.

A lot of old legends happen to be from philly, but philly isnt hurting anything.

westcoast will forever be a target

Harry is the reason DNA/Clips are on every card. They are both signed to EBL/Harry. Harry at this point is damn near part of the URL team. He is responsible for helping URL with their funding.

DNA/Clips brought Harry to the URL. In return, yes the URL is going to return the favor.
People do not know this, but DNA/Clips brought the sponsor that allowed Summer Madness 2.
Rex brought a cheap battle (rex/myers) to the url. The url returned the favor.

If you are able to bring the URL something that benefits them, they will turn around & return the favor.

Someone with facebook/twitter access reach out to AFR & see if he can get Harry on his show. I am curious on his business views.

I am also curious what Todd or his brother have done behind the scenes for the url.

One thing about Harry I respect is that he TRIED to do it himself. He saw firsthand how the fans dismiss you & battlers jerk you around if your platform isn't respected. He put up a PPV, which no one bought. Even got Smack to host, but without that official branding stamp it still wasn't taken seriously.
So what did he do? He chose to get in where he fit in.

It depends on what approach the URL wants to take with Ave.

Do they want to build him up, or put him in a battle he could potentially lose?

I think Ave vs Bmagic/stl is a matchup I could see the URL setting up.

One thing Bmagic has going for him is despite going around getting bodybagged, it has not been on the URL. A lot of casuals just don't follow the other leagues like that.

Ave beating Bmagic clearly on the URL platform would definitely raise his profile.

Harry tried to throw an url event under his brand.:mjlol:

For what he was trying to do, it made more sense just to work with Smack.

What is your opinion on Gorilla Warfare? They do the same thing. You can not name any talent associate with their brand with the exception of Big Kannon & Young Kannon. Gracie wants to quit battle rap every day.

They just don't understand you have to build from the ground up & have your own talent, instead of taking shortcuts.
