RE: Web3 In Professional Wrestling And Using It To Help With Nostalgia

Thank you to @tahirmunee and @wrestorgonline for your comments! As a test, reach out to me via DM if any of you have photos taken of you & friends at original ECW shows from 1992-2001. I can pin the photo(s) on one of the virtual land platforms which has the land plot owned as a NFT, and you are welcome to include a fun memory from that show or a funny story about the photo. These pinned memories become shareable links, and one of the platforms allows me further to pin the new "memory" onto the IPFS system for greater longevity of the image & memory. If you only have a small video file, then I can pin on another platform which has more web3 aspects to it, despite being like a customized Google Map.
If you don't have any photos or videos from ECW shows then we can discuss some other ways in case you have photos/videos from other promotions such as the original ROH, XPW, WCW, or other companies which no longer exist or are no longer in the same independent format anymore (e.g. ROH today is different than early ROH from 2002-2005). I also am open to other ways on how to use web3 for the nostalgia portion of pro wrestling beyond what WOO already has done really well with the game.
One example is a photo my friend took at what became ECW's last show at the ECW Arena on December 23, 2000 during the main event: https://metablox.co/memory/fans-throwing-chairs-at-final-ecw-show-at-the-ecw-arena-3033
The chairs being thrown synch up with what you see for the actual match just after the 16-minute mark here:
What I pinned to the map in Philadelphia is "slightly" web3, as I own the actual land plot (in that platform) which corresponds to the land which is the Arena. That is a NFT and is transferrable, but I don't yet know how to "tokenize" (fractional share) the land if I ever want to sell off small pieces of it to other fans. I also don't yet know how to reach other land plot owners who have minted their lands (into NFTs) which then allows for the potential to token-gate a pro wrestling community and/or create some kind of DAO, should that business model be the right way to go for wrestling nostalgia as we head into the future. You are welcome to discuss more in the coming days if this topic is of interest.
Thanks!
