o/ptw.mdYour feedback: <add Pawłowski & Strong - Kanał ZeroOn June 13th morning show for Kanał Zero (Pobudka), hosted by WuWunio and Izabella Krzan. Pawłowski made his appearance with Diana Strong. Unexpectedly, the hosts were very well briefed about Polish wrestling scene and PTW's problems. Firstly, Diana was asked about her sports background and her way toward wrestling, then the questions moved on to Pawłowski. While he was giving his usual speech about nature of wrestling, appeal of storylines and the business being scripted but not fake. After the introduction, WuWunio started inquiring about PTW's problems. He presented a list of wrestlers that left PTW in recent wave and mentioned some of them now wrestle for competition - PPW. Pawłowski with his hand forced, acknowledged the crisis, acknowledged that lottery and Total Blast from the past were flops. He said that reading fans criticism on lottery was very hurtful - because he felt the same. He acknowledged the leaving wrestlers as great performers and (mostly) very good people. Pawłowski declared that this crisis is not going to stop PTW from rebounding, which they're going to do with their next show (PTW x Ryucon 3). He confirmed that disagreements about: finances, booking and exclusivity were main reasons for talent leaving. All this speech was countered with Dawid "Puncher" Seńko aggressively trolling the chat - complete with insulting the same ex-wrestlers Pawłowski was complimenting on screen. Pawłowski points toward himself as main culprit at recent PTW's problems. Krzan pried harder, asking him about not fulfilling the obligations, finance problems and getting close to bankruptcy. Visibly upset Pawłowski declares he will fulfill everything but needs time, hosts cut him off with a joke about previous guest of the show (Mr Małecki, a court bailiff/repossession man [check which synonym is better]) might be able to help. Pawłowski joins in the joke, but still is visibly shaken. WuWunio inquires about Rzeźniczek leaving, which Pawłowski confirms, but declares the reasons are Rzeźnik's to reveal. To wrap the subject of departures up, Diana is asked about why she stayed, after so many left. She says she always believed in the project and still does and still has no problems working with Arek, so she stays. They go about technicalities of wrestling some more, but the live chat (topchat as per Youtube terms) is still inquiring about the lottery, so the subject is brought up again. Pawłowski confirms the lottery was a spectacular fiasco, with haul from tickets not even getting close to cost of the prizes. He calls it a crucial error that started a domino effect for PTW and confirms that PTW is not going to set up any lottery ever again. To wrap up the show, Pawłowski is asked what is the essence of wrestling (phrased as "Istota wrestlingu" - possibly a namedrop for small yet influential wrestling channel). He names connecting people, escapism and emotional involvement as main components of wrestling's appeal.
