Jaysin Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Figured since NWA is going to start a weekly tv show we might as well have a thread dedicated to the company. Current champs: NWA World’s Heavyweight- Nick Aldis NWA World Tag Team- PCO & Brody King NWA National- James Storm NWA Women’s- Sienna/Allysin Kay Interested to see what they do with the tag titles now that the ROH relationship is over.

Well unless PCO & Brody King's contract is exclusive to ROH, I see no reason to take the tag team titles off them yet. They're a popular team, they'll likely draw money for the company.

fullMETAL Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 On a personal level, I'm hoping Corgan decides to go for a new belt for the Women's Title, because I want so badly to do a new design for it. I'm also hoping he decides to do new belts for the North American and Jr. Heavyweight Titles (instead of keeping the Leather Rebels ones or going back to the JP ones like with the Women's Title), so I can try my hand at those too.

It strikes a beautiful chord between old school nostalgia and current day wrestling. Jim Cornette on commentary was just the icing on the cake.

franticloser Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 The NWA belts are not the same as the WCW belts Vince bought. When JCP was bought by Turner and converted to WCW, they kept using the NWA belts for a while. But between WCW wanting full control of the belts and NWA not wanting to give them that control. They split. With WCW getting it's own championships, and NWA running tournaments for theirs. This led directly to the Shane Douglas ECW promo. Which caused the downturn of NWA until its partnership with TNA. This ended like its partnership with WCW. The NWA then became a bunch of indies that paid to use the NWA name and book its champions. Enter Billy Corgan who bought all the rights to the name, organization, and championships. It looks like he will be going for making an actual wrestling organization again. (Most likely working a bunch of regional territories, with Powerrr being a conglomerate of all the talent from those companies.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BHK1978 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I thought the show was okay, not great, but okay. To me there were far too many squash matches. Which I understand is a good way to get your stars over and it did go hand and hand with the retro feel of the show. But I thought they could have put maybe a squash match and two competitive matches on. I did enjoy the main event and I liked the sit down promo with Tim Storm (Who I have never even heard of until that show and I have been watching wrestling since 1986.). I loved how they had their interview section, it reminded of the 1980's NWA (To an extent the 1980's WWF as well. After all the Barbershop and Piper's Pit were not very big sets. If I recall correctly only Brother Love's set was big.). If they had maybe one more competitive match I probably would have enjoyed it more. That is why I have become a big fan of MLW. Sure they have squash matches but the matches always seem to be competitive and I often cannot say for certain who is going to win before the start of every match.

Storm's storyline was done well enough. Classic one-last hurrah leads to unexpected success story. See: The Natural both novel and movie. Prefer the novel, and apparently so does NWA. It would probably have helped if they recapped the story better leading up to this, or built this match up for the PPV and not did it here, but this is your self-funded TV pilot, you want to show off your best. So I get it.</p><p> </p><p> The Dawsons are a nice little southern heel tag-team that should fill that slot. The entire idea of the squash match is to be a live-action highlight reel. Great way to introduce them and get another tag-team through the door. Can't call them TNA Spinoffs and in the same breath bury new talent.</p><p> </p><p> Honestly, people are so terrible on the stick in this era that a dude doing a The Rock lounge act is like... the best promo in the world right now. Keep at it, Eli. </p><p> </p><p> It definitely would be better with some music, but... this is a TV pilot and Corgin and Lagana have been crystal clear that without a TV partner reasonably soonish this isn't sustainable.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greylocke Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I tried watching the first episode yesterday, and I think I just had my most bizarre experience watching a wrestling show, ever. Bizarre doesn't actually mean bad.....just really unusual and weird. Basically, I enjoyed almost everything except the actual matches. I loved the overall presentation of the show, I actually think it's better than all the other current-running American weekly wrestling shows in that regard. They do a good job of introducing characters to me even though I don't recognize 90% of the roster. I enjoyed most of the promos and interviews, particularly the main event. Never watched Tim Storm before, but the pre-match promo package and his interview did a great job in getting me invested in the story. Then the bell rings, and I keep finding my attention wandering and struggling to stay engaged. The structuring of the match story is fine, but the action just doesn't excite me. And the post-match stuff with Aldis was perfect too. If only I can care about the matches, it would be my favourite American wrestling show right now. Usually when I find that the match style isn't my cup of tea I simply stop watching a show, but I'm really conflicted about this. This is the only time ever when I want to keep watching a wrestling show purely for the non-wrestling segments..... :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
