Farley Con X vs Superstars Fan Fest 2022
Farley Con X vs Superstars Fan Fest 2022
I was looing
forward for several months to debut my UNKNOWN The Alien Assassin character at
Farley Con for several months. Practically a year I guess, but the UNKNOWN The
Alien Assassin character changed rom just being part of the Simply Priceless
Universe to actually being part of a wrestling organization inside February
2022. With that changed inside my life in February 2022 it made my entire
UNKNOWN The Alien Assassin sales switch its stance inside my lit4.
Farley Con
X was the biggest year for professional wrestling that I ever experienced at
Farley Con as the announcements for Farley Con 2022 invent guest began with Ron
Simmons and Lex Luger, and then as Farley Con neared Buff The Stuff Bagwell was
announced followed by the final guest announcement literally the day before
Farley Con it seemed liked Big Papa Pump Scott Stiner was announced to be part of
the biggest wrestling themed Farley Con ever since I began attending Farley Con
at the second Farley Con event.
I went to
set up for Farley Con the day before Farley Con X and I realized my booth space
was literally right across th4 aisleway from all of the professional wrestlers
and the other Farley Con X guest. I set up and noticed I would have a lot of
foot traffic around me especially with the wrestlers being right across the
aisle from me. I was excited to have the spot I did on Friday the 12th
after I set up and began taking pictures
for this event of my set up for Facebook and Instagram before I went to the
main event to take many more pictures the following day! I went to sleep that
night feel confident and secure with how Farley Con but in the business sense
boy was I wrong with how Farley Con would treat UNKNOWN The Alien Assassin!
Farley Con
X was on August 13th 2022 and Super Stars Fan Fest 2022 took place on
October 22nd 2022! Farley Con is a big place for collectors to buy
toys, comic books, other collectibles, and meet various celebrities. That last
sentence is what a true comic con is all about. A wrestle con like Superstars Fan
Fest 2022 is a place meant to buy overall strictly wrestling merchandise, meet professional
wrestlers, along with buy the variety of other stuff that may be sold.
Mostly
wrestling merchandise or wrestling relate merch is the only thing sold at a
vendor table at a wrestling convention. Wrestling merchandise can consist of various
autographed items, old school magazines, old school VHS tapes, different DVD
full of wrestling matches, wrestling themed books, and the other merchandise
that is not wrestling related sold at a wrestling convention is such a low
percentage of items that it is hard to even measure it on the rector scale!
While Farley Con is dominated with toys, comic books, other
collectible, and other items from an event goers childhood than a wrestle con.
A wresting
convention mostly focuses on the wrestling guest and getting their autograph.
Where the guest at a comic con like Farley Con are each into their own subject
matter. People bring each individual guest at Farley Con their own subject
matter related item to sign for them. Like he comic book guest get their comic
books brought to them, wrestlers get their own wrestling figures or championship
belts brought to them, and the anime or voice actors get their own items brought
to them! There is a lot more subject matter at a comic con event than a
wrestling convention, and that goes on as truth even with the major professional
wrestling takeover that took place at Farley Con X!
Saturday
August 13th 2022 came quick and before I knew it UNKNOWN The Alien
Assassin was at his table invading Farley Con! I talked to the different people
who wanted to know who UNKNOWN The Alien Assassin was. I sold my mystery bag
which held random comic book related items I got from Covid Crates that I
bought from Batttlegrounds in 2020 and I did not want. The guy opened up the
mystery bag right in front of me, and I couldn’t tell if he really liked what
all he got inside the mystery bag yay or nah it didn’t matter because I got the
money I sold that Mystery Bag for, and he left with a bunch of junk that was cluttering
a drawer.
I was right
across from all the wrestlers who invaded Farley Con X so very few people paid
attention to me and he vendor my life was a complete jerky female who had
absolutely no personality and wouldn’t even take a picture for me with some
cosplayers even though she wasn’t doing a darn thing! She was just a jerk and
acted like she didn’t even want to be there as I was having fun because I certainly
wasn’t overloaded with business. I can’t even remember one person who wanted
their picture with me at Farley Con X so I just spent the day getting as many
cosplayers to take pictures with me as possible, and looking at stuff.
My mom eventually
came to Farley Con X to hang out with me
so that boosted my enjoyment of being at Farley Con X because it was
boring as all get out to be by myself, and have
nothing to do but sit and watch people hang out with the real wrestlers
and not even peak their interest into me, myself, and I, UNKNOWN The Alien
Assassin. I was literally UNNOWN with the crowd at Farley Con X inside Camp
Jordan Arena.
I got a
second sale at Camp Jordan Arena which was me selling a 8x10 of myself along with
a Scotty Too Hottie autographed Pro Wrestling Tees 8x10. This sale and the
mystery bag sale were my only sales Farley Con X.
I had fun
at Farley Con X though but the reaction to UNKNOWN The Alien Assassin from
UNKNOWN at Farley X made me scared to set up my UNKNOWN The Alien Assassin table
Superstars Fan Fest 2022. I did set my UNKNOWN The Alien Assassin table at
Superstars Fan Fest 2022 on October 21st, 2022, and then I was the
first vendor there I scored some
pictures with a variety of people before Superstars Fan Fest and then I made
the wrestling community that follow me on Facebook upset with an attempted joke
that many of them pulled out of proportion.
I was in
the back right corner of the Thornton Center a couple of tables down from Jake The
Snake Roberts. Jake The Snake Roberts was the headliner of Superstars Fan Fest
2022. I figured my spot sucked and with all those big name wrestlers there that
it would be Farley Con X all over again. Especially when I was blocked in by
Jake The Snake Roberts line. But many more people began to come over to talk to
me about my merchandise and see who UNKNOWN The Alien Assassin was. It was
amazing how many people from the lobby when I was waiting to enter the gym area
to go to my table and then inside the gym area came up to me and wanted a
picture with me. If I charged a dollar a picture I know I would have made more
than fifty dollars on pictures alone. It was amazing the amount of people who
showed up to my table just to talk including Scott Hudson interviewing me at
the start of Superstars Fan Fest 2022!
Then people
came up to mean started buying stuff. People bought stuff like my new UNKNOWN
The Alien Assassin hat, all my left-over Pro Wrestling Tees autographed
pictures, a set of Wrestling Romance Trilogy copies, autographed UNKNOWN The Alien
Assassin 8x10s, and I feel like I am leaving other sales out that happened at
Superstars Fan Fest 2022. In the end I came very close to making back the money
I spent to pay my vendor fee, and also in the end it was not only the most
money I made at an event, but it was enough money for me to get all of the
autographs and pictures I wanted with different wrestlers that were at Superstars
Fan Fest 2022 and still have money left over!
Superstars
Fan Fest 2022 treated me much better than Farley Con X financially and that isn’t
a complaint because I had fun at Farley Con X, and I am giving the 2023 two-day
Farley Con event a chance. Even if it is two days of just paying to have fun
taking pictures with cosplayers.
Superstars
Fan Fest 2022 really accepted UNKNOWN The Alien Assassin realizing I am part of
the wrestling world compared to Farley Con who didn’t know who I was. I don’t
know if the people at Farley Con showed 0 interest because or all of the people’s
other interests being right there under one roof. Those interests being collectibles,
toys, comic books, and other stuff. Maybe there was just too much of the people’s
there other interests at Farley Con X for them to pay attention to a random wrestling
broadcast journalist.
While at
Superstars Fan Fest 2022 I as a wrestling broadcast journalist was part of the
people who were walking around Superstars Fan Fest 2022’s interests and
considering the limited number of extra items under roof to purchase in regard
to these people’s interests I had a better shot at making good money at this wrestling
convention that at the comic convention known as Farley Con X.
This is
just a guess, but this hypothesis is solid. Especially about both the Farley Con
X and the Superstars Fan Fest 2022 events and the action and activities that took
place at both events. I had a great time at both events which includes the
activities I did at Farley Con X making a little bit of money compared to the
amount of money I pulled off making at
Superstars Fan Fest 2022.
I am
currently trying to fill my 2023 event calendar with various vendor events because
I picked up an extra 2022 Vendor Event on November 5th 2022 at the
Dalton Championship Wrestling event that wasn’t planned and this DCW event
should honestly be the last vendor event for UNKNOWN The Alien Assassin in 2022,
and I need to start booking my 2023 event calendar so I can keep the movement
going. I am interested in seeing in 2023 which events payout more and why I
believe those events paid out more than the other because this is the reason I
feel Superstars Fan Fest 2022 paid out over Farley Con X and in the words of
Shawn Ambrose “I have spoken!”
