Professional wrestling has always adapted to survive. From carnival tents to cable television, from VHS tape trading to Twitter, promoters have faced constant change. The ones who thrived weren't the ones who resisted - they were the ones who embraced the tools of their time.
Now, the next tool is here: Artificial Intelligence.
In A.I. for Pro Wrestling Promoters, Joe Clark explores how independent promoters can use AI to survive and thrive in today's competitive entertainment landscape. This book is not about robots replacing wrestling - it's about giving promoters the edge they need to fill seats, grow fanbases, and keep the tradition of pro wrestling alive.
Inside, you'll discover how AI can help with:
Booking storylines and maintaining continuity.
Managing rosters, schedules, and payouts.
Designing posters, hype videos, and social media campaigns.
Forecasting attendance and adjusting ticket prices.
Creating profitable merchandise fans actually want.
Engaging fans with polls, loyalty programs, and personalized messages.
Building professional sponsorships and local partnerships.
Developing wrestler branding, catchphrases, and music.
From the history of Angelo Poffo's scrappy International Championship Wrestling to the struggles of today's small-town promoters, this book shows how AI can be the modern partner promoters never had - a tool to cut through the chaos and focus on what matters: telling stories, drawing crowds, and keeping wrestling alive.
Whether you're a veteran booker or just starting your first show, this book gives you the roadmap to combine old-school passion with new-school technology.
