🎪 The Story Behind the Squared Circle 🎪 Revolutionizing Independent Wrestling
We're not just building a platform - we're professionalizing an entire industry. From the curtain jerker to the main event, every worker deserves to get paid!
💥 The Problem: Chaos in the Squared Circle 💥
The independent wrestling scene is a $5.8 billion industry... operating like it's still 1995
🔍 Talent Discovery is Broken
Promoters waste hours scrolling through social media DMs, hoping someone responds. Talent gets lost in the noise.
📅 Double Bookings are Rampant
No one has a reliable way to track availability. Shows get canceled, talent gets pissed, everyone loses money.
🎭 Kayfabe Meets Reality
The magic of the performance art collides with business logistics. Fans see the character, promoters need the person.
💰 Getting Paid is a Gamble
Too many wrestlers work for "exposure" and hot dogs. The business needs professional tools, not fan wikis.
⭐ The Solution: IndieRoster ⭐
A centralized, two-sided SaaS platform that professionalizes the independent wrestling economy
🤼 For Talent: Your Digital EPK
Create professional Electronic Press Kits that showcase your character, matches, and skills. Build multiple gimmick profiles, upload your highlight reels, and manage your availability calendar.
👔 For Promoters: Your Talent Database
Access a verified database of hungry, professional talent. Search by location, style, availability, and insider metrics. Book your entire card in minutes, not days.
🎭 The Kayfabe/Insider Toggle - Our Secret Weapon
Public "Kayfabe" View: What fans see - your character, storyline, promotional content.
Private "Insider" View: What promoters see - real contact info, booking rates, availability, non-kayfabe stats.
This respects the magic of wrestling while enabling the business of wrestling. No competitor offers this duality.
📈 The Market is Exploding 📈
Independent wrestling is the industry's R&D department - and it's booming
🏆 $5.8 Billion Global Market
The professional wrestling industry is massive and growing at 7.2% annually through 2031.
🌍 Independent Circuit is Key
The indie scene is the industry's primary talent pipeline, feeding WWE, AEW, and TNA with trained professionals.
📊 500+ Active Promotions
From GCW and Prestige to local indie shows, the independent circuit is thriving and professionalizing.
🤼 10,000+ Talent Pool
Conservative estimate of active wrestlers, refs, managers, and other talent in North America alone.
"The independent circuit is not a small periphery; it is the industry's foundational research and development (R&D) and talent pipeline."- IndieRoster Business Plan
⚡ Why We're Different ⚡
No more fan wikis or outdated booking methods
❌ Cagematch.net (The Competition)
- Fan-driven wiki for historical data
- No booking contacts or availability
- Talent can't manage their own profiles
- Dated UI, not built for business
✅ IndieRoster (The Solution)
- Professional SaaS platform
- Direct booking and availability tools
- Talent owns and manages their profiles
- Modern UX built for the wrestling business
🎭 Our Unique Selling Proposition
The Kayfabe/Insider toggle solves wrestling's central cultural-business conflict. We respect the "magic" of the performance art while providing promoters with the logistical data they need to conduct business.
This duality is our moat. No competitor can or will offer this feature.
