Matt Morgan as NWA FUW Pro Champion
As a longtime wrestling fan I've noticed that as WWE and TNA try to think of new ways to attract fans, independent promotions such as NWA FUW(Florida Underground Wrestling) and FWE (Family Wrestling Entertainment) are using the basic aspects of the business to draw crowds.
For example, NWA FUW had a villain wrestler named "The Grease" hold the title for a couple months and the fans were waiting for a conquering hero to take the title from him. Enter Matt Morgan. He won the title in October after "The Grease" had held it since August 31st. Fans in the Florida area loved it and are still attending the monthly shows.
John Hennigan was FWE Champion
FWE is a promotion based out of New York City and until recently John Hennigan (fka John Morrison in WWE) was the champion. FWE uses an 8-man tournament as it's main attraction while having other matches on the undercard. Fans are loving the monthly shows.
Two different promotions using two different but effective tactics to draw fans in. I wish TNA or WWE would pay attention. They might learn something.
