ColdBloodedSausageMaker Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 There are a couple guys there I'd like to see in AEW. I think Thrillbilly Silas Mason would do great in AEW. He's a good big man with a relatively unique look and gimmick. I also would like to see "Psycho Boy" Fodder & "Psycho Girl" Angelina Love on AEW TV. They have some good chemistry and a good gimmick. I'm not totally sold on Fodder's in-ring work, but he has some good charisma. Give their gimmicks, Fodder & Mason would make great additions to The Righteous and/or in a Psychobilly tag team with Love as manager. AEW can always use more tag teams with FTR (apparently) out and The Acclaimed holding the trios belts. Mason & Fodder both have good, unique looks and could draw.

ColdBloodedSausageMaker Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Apparently, NWA is doing some sort of "territory system revival"? Should be interesting to see who ends up joining. I do think that with EC3 running Exodus he'll probably drop the belt. Which sucks, because he's done a great job as champion and gotten pretty over. I like what I've seen of Thom Latimer so far, so I wouldn't be too mad for him to pick up the win.

The Swanton825 Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 (edited) Excuse me while I go puke over the fact that Innovate Wrestling will almost certainly get reinvited to the NWA purely on the basis of it being the closest to Kerry Morton's home. EDIT: To clarify, I like Kerry, he was already an unofficial trainer at his dad's school when he was a teen. It's the weasel in charge of Innovate that I can't stand.

I assume he'd be too busy promoting NWA Midwest Evolve (and with a developmental promotion) to hold the World Title. Maybe not, maybe the NWA could co-promote more shows with NWA Midwest Evolve to lighten the load for EC3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exodus runs like monthly shows and the NWA does block tapings. cYn is the most time consuming part of his life right now since it's more one on one coaching and reconditioning, but EC3 has plenty of time for Exodus and NWA because of their schedules.

I didn't understand the scheduling situation fully, sorry. I guess I have some trust issues with NWA management after the last year or so with the disastrous Tyrus push. EC3 is winning me back, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aXminster Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 So apparently NWA has signed a TV Deal with The CW. Pretty good news for them. Haven't watched anything since pre-pandemic but I might check out once they premiere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it's not like I'm gonna watch either, but if Corgan could hustle not only one but two tv slots for his company, great for him. Way better than anyone would hope. Last time I saw they were behind a paywall on Fite. Don't know how many people were paying for that but I believe it's waaaay less than what CW can reach.

ColdBloodedSausageMaker Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 (edited) Corgan's NWA has made some big names in wrestling. Ricky Starks got his big break there among others. I've liked a lot of what I've watched on the undercard even when I haven't been sold on the main event with NWA. Intrigued to see what NWA can do with a TV Slot. Can't think of how it won't be a good thing. Edited October 20, 2023 by ColdBloodedSausageMaker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blonde Bomber Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Get ready for Tyrus as the GM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanX Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 (edited) 10 pounds of gold and first few eps of Powerrrr were fun. If Corgan does a soft reboot and goes back to that style of content, I think it could be a nice 3rd tier promotion like MLW and Impact. Especially if their reality show is shot like their 10 pounds of gold series. Edited October 20, 2023 by SanX 10 pounds not 50. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Swanton825 Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Billy Corgan is an idiot for wanting a segment like that. I think he forgot that he bought the NWA and not ECW. You've got a TV deal waiting in the wings and screw it up before a single taping. Even TNA under Russo was never that stupid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aXminster Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 The CW is getting NXT now, so yeah, the slot is gone lol That's the NWA for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CQI13 Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 (edited) I haven't seen the segment in question, but I haven't heard anything that makes it seem like a good idea. And all to try to "benefit" James Mitchell? Not sure why they would do that. The whole thing has shades of Sandman getting crucified. Given what's on the line/what they lost out on, might not be a bad comparison. Edited November 10, 2023 by CQI13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchell plays the segment well (it's James Mitchell, of course he does), just like Raven did during Sandman's crucifixion, but both wind up getting the wrong kind of heat because it's shock value for shock value's sake.

But Corgan is a big carny and Nick Hausman (the guy who reported) only knows what CM Punk tells him, so maybe there was never any truth to it.

Mootinie Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Somehow I doubt that The CW decided within the span of ten days not to pick up NWA and to pick up WWE NXT instead. I'm no expert on the subject but surely negotiations of this nature take place for a solid six months before they ink the deal? I bet Hausman heard that The CW were picking up wrestling, listened to Corgan talking on Busted Open, and then ran with the assumption that the two stories were mutual and called it an exclusive.

CQI13 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Who knows if the TV show was ever really in play, but NWA will get a show on the CW App and website. Wonder if it will always be available, or if it's going to be one of those things where the shows will be available for a month. First show is next Tuesday (February 6th) with 3 title matches - EC3 vs Matt Cardona being the main event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
