“Big Trouble” Ben Bishop is one of the most recognizable names on the independent wrestling<\/a> circuit.<\/p>\n

The 7-foot giant<\/a> has appeared across several promotions in the U.S. and will be involved in a big match against Foxx Vinyer at Awesome Championship Wrestling\u2019s (ACW) Reckoning next weekend at the MJN Center in Poughkeepsie, New York.<\/p>\n

Bishop has seen it all \u2013 the good and the bad. He opened up to Fox News Digital about what he would change about the indie scene, understanding that small companies putting on a wrestling show is a bigger undertaking than most people realize. Finding the perfect venue to have a ring, a backstage area, paying fees and setting a reasonable ticket price are all things that have to be considered.<\/p>\n

“You gotta figure out where the sliding scale is. So, I get it. It\u2019s tough. So, when I hear something like, \u2018What would you change?\u2019 It\u2019s little things,” Bishop said. “I think basic necessities on the independent scene is something that\u2019s really important. The big joke in independent wrestling is like water is for the boys. Water is in the locker room. I think that\u2019s a basic thing. I think that\u2019s something that every promoter should be able to provide.”<\/p>\n

Bishop said that the timing of each show should also be a thought in a promoter\u2019s head. He said shows shouldn\u2019t really be more than 2 1\/2 hours with showcase events having the ability to go up to three hours.<\/p>\n

“I think people just want to enjoy wrestling and want to get out of there at a reasonable time, maybe go to dinner, maybe grab a drink somewhere and enjoy their night \u2013 have them leave wanting more,” he continued. “At the end of the day, I think all us wrestlers, we are getting to do what we love. There\u2019s going to be some independent shows that are much better than others. There\u2019s gonna be some that are much worse than others \u2013 and I\u2019ve been to all of them. I\u2019ve seen them all and I know what the bad ones are and I know what the good ones are.<\/p>\n

“And when it comes to Awesome Championship Wrestling, they\u2019re unlike any of the indies that I\u2019ve done. The MJN Center is beautiful. There\u2019s a beautiful locker room. There\u2019s so much room. There\u2019s enough chairs for people to sit in. There\u2019s even couches, which is incredible. They have snacks and food, and \u2018catering,\u2019 and that doesn\u2019t happen very often. But you know what it does? It leaves the locker room happy. Nobody\u2019s miserable in that. And if nobody\u2019s miserable and everyone\u2019s happy, then the product is gonna be better.<\/p>\n

“Nobody\u2019s worried about, \u2018Oh, I haven\u2019t eaten in eight hours,\u2019 or \u2018I\u2019m dying of thirst here. I can\u2019t find a water bottle.\u2019 It\u2019s all those little things. But I just think basic necessities, if indies could just take care of that. I\u2019m not asking for a huge spread. I\u2019m not asking for sandwiches or pasta or anything of that stuff. Some water, basic things, and I think that could go a long way on the indies scene.”<\/p>\n

Bishop has been in Richard Holliday\u2019s corner as well in recent ACW shows. While Holliday lost the ACW Heavyweight<\/a> Championship to Killer Kross, he will have chance to showcase his talent against current IWGP global heavyweight champion Andrade.<\/p>\n

ACW Reckoning takes place on May 16.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
