Wrestling promoter now grapples with crowdfund after Dragons' Den snub

The Journal

NEWCASTLE wrestling promoter who left the Dragons’ Den TV show without investment has turned to fans to help him take the business to new levels.

- TOM KEIGHLEY

Andrew Bowers appeared on the BBC show this week to ask for £60,000 in return for a 25% stake in the company he started about eight years ago.

Having failed to get the Dragons’ to bite, Mr Bowers is appealing to the public to help him raise a more modest £15,000 towards the growth of North Wrestling, which stages “raucous” events on Tyneside that attract people in their hundreds.

The graphic designer and events manager has set up a crowdfunder campaign and is promoting the company’s Patreon page, where fans can pay monthly subscriptions to access behind-the-scenes content and pre-sale tickets, among other perks.
