National Wrestling Alliance: A Return to Glory

[Oldschool]

Like your Stan Hanson column Not so into the Danger Zone yet, But you do an incredible job of getting workers over in the minds of readers (At least you do with me) Hero and OMG (I love the Gang) vs Cabana & Wrestling III...I'm hoping we now see Wrestling III work his way into the title mix...It should make for great matches based on the style he wrestled with Vampiro (and based on, my thoughts on who III is)... I love the Briscoes, not crazy about maximos...But this is a good early tag team rivalry...I'm looking forward to challenges from Extreme Horseman, British Invasion even team Punishment... I concur with Stallion in regards to Matt Bloom, either a great team or great feud with "The King of Monsters" should be awesome.. I'm kind of rooting for Corino in the Big World title match...He just screams Old school NWA wrestling and D'Lo is doing really well in that Babyface chasing the title roll...

Nice show, good rating... I like how you didn't waste any time with Weise/Bloom confrotation... Team Punishment needed a little rub and Callis helps out with that in his interview... The British Invasion needed something as well and getting involved with the extreme horseman accomplihes that...(By the way I think Doug illiams may be most under utilized guy you have) Mr Wrestling III gets the pinfall on NA Champ Chris Hero, sets up a singles run here as well as turn on OMG (so there is certainly some intrigue where this is going to go.. Just my $.02, but in this fans opinion your top 5 most over are 1. "The King Of Monsters" Matt Weise 2. Chris Hero (I love his cowardly champion stuff) 3. Steve Corino (He is the World champ) 4. Masato Tanaka (I like him being the guy you have to go through just to get to Corino) 5. Mr. Wrestling III (Great hype and debut and now working his way into title picture)

[QUOTE]I like how you didn't waste any time with Weise/Bloom confrotation...[/QUOTE] It was pretty obvious to everyone and it should make for a good PPV match and maybe more. [QUOTE]Team Punishment needed a little rub and Callis helps out with that in his interview...[/QUOTE] I feel bad for Tito and Puder because I had more planned for them and they just got pushed to the wayside a bit. Tito never caught on with the fans the way I thought he would initially but he's starting to come around so expect mor in the near future. Callis is money on the microphone too. [QUOTE]The British Invasion needed something as well and getting involved with the extreme horseman accomplishes that...(By the way I think Doug Williams may be most under utilized guy you have)[/QUOTE] The British Invasion still need to pay some more dues I think, mostly due to Fleisch inexperience and lack of popularity here in the states. I think they'll get there though. I agree with you on Doug but I've had trouble finding his voice so to speak. He's talented for sure but I haven't quite figured him out yet. I agree that he needs more to do than get the crap kicked out of him. [QUOTE]Mr Wrestling III gets the pinfall on NA Champ Chris Hero, sets up a singles run here as well as turn on OMG (so there is certainly some intrigue where this is going to go..[/QUOTE] Expect big things from III after A Night For Redemption but probably not in the way you expect.

Mr. Wrestling III (Great hype and debut and now working his way into title picture)[/QUOTE] I love the King of the Monsters too. He has been the easiest one to write for by far. I've actually modelled him a bit on Hannibal Lechter, being super creepy and intimidating without all the yelling and screaming and still coming across as a bit of an intelligent gentleman, at least that is what I'm going for. Hero is fun too. I've envisioned him as a cross between WCW era heel Chris Jericho and (my personal favorite) the Honky Tonk Man. There is something about a heel who doesn't quite realize that everyone hates him that really appeals to me. Actual Top 5: 1.Steve Corino: He has absolutely exploded in popularity like no one in the company, at least in our two main regions, the mid-atlantic (A*) and the southeast (A). The champ can do no wrong in these areas! The absolute franchise of the NWA. 2.D'Lo Brown: Great chemistry with Corino and a hot feud with him has led to a surge in popularity for the Real Deal as well. 3. Matt Weise: Squashing Mike Awesome really helped. 4. Mr. Wrestling III: III is popular in our core regions and apparantly on these boards as well! 5. Masato Tanaka: Solid All-Around performer for me. No complaints about the Japanese version of Arn Anderson to Corino's Ric Flair. Chris Hero is rising quickly but he's not as popular as these boys....yet!

[CENTER] [/CENTER] [B]Excerpt from the Bruce Mitchell Audio update on PWTorch.com for Friday September 1st, 2006. Wade Keller: Well Bruce, tommorrow night is the NWA's first pay-per view, A Night For Redemption. What are your thoughts? Bruce Mitchell: I think its an interesting card with a strong buildup on the top and not much development on the bottom. Corino and Brown should be a good main event and the ladder match should be interesting. Not so sure about the rest of the show. WK: I agree Bruce. A lot of it does feel like filler and like they're trying to squeeze people onto the show but the actual matches should be pretty good I think. What do you make of these rumors of a former ECW star making an appearance? BM: I've heard a lot of rumors. Obviously we know its not any of the TNA guys since they can't even negotiate with any of their talent that was there at the time of the split with the NWA. That rules out the Dudleys, Shane Douglas, Raven, the Sinister Minister, Simon Diamond and Rhino. I highly doubt its going to be anyone in the new ECW now either. That leaves a handful of independent guys, Justin Credible, New Jack, Lance Storm, Johnny Swinger, Kid Kash. Nothing that really gets you too excited. WK: I agree and the fact that this hasn't been hyped up leads me to believe its either a BS rumor or its nothing major, maybe something like bringing in a Joel Gertner for interviews or commentary maybe. Okay switching gears to post-SummerSlam storylines, since the rumored DX vs NWO feud is out, what do you think about the much less exciting rumor of DX vs. a Los Boricuas feud.....[/B]

Just read Fusion, another top quality show. I love the way I rell ant to know who Mr Wrestling III because I really am clueless as you haven't given much away about him. I also like the way you develop the wrestler on your roster who are could be's/should have been's/never were's. Some very good storylines going on in this diary.

Fusion Review - At first I thought you were going with the Bloom/Weise tag team, but then it broke down into the fistfight. I can’t wait to see what kind of match these two monsters put on for the crowd. Classic big man brawl (but hopefully not the tediously slow WWE style brawl). - I see that you take advantage of the game by putting Lauren Jones in a looks angle before the main event. Smart, very smart. - I hope to see a Hero/ Mr. Wrestling III feud here soon. Those two would tear the house down. The show was good, buts its painfully obvious that its very difficult to do a whole lot on just 1 hour a week. It’s the way with TNA right now as well. Well it seems that my prayers were answered when it comes to Hero and Mr. Wrestling III, however in the form for a Triple Threat with Colt Cabana. Now I love Classic Colt as much as the next guy, however its hard to see him in a Title scene. DX vs. Los Boricuas?! I could see the WWE doing something to that extent. Night For Redemption Review - You should have actually created James Brown in your game and had him perform, that would have gotten a sure A+ to start out your show. - Not sure about New Jack. The guy is too much of a loose cannon for any company. - This thing between Matt Bloom and Matt Weise is not over by a long shot. - So does that go down as a loose for Mr. Wrestling III? Shame that’s the way it went down. - Cant wait for the main event brother!

They lock up to start and struggle in the corner. D'Lo grabs an armbar but Corino fights back and grabs a headlock. They lock up again and Corino forces Brown to the ropes, slapping him on the break, causing the crowd to break out in a chorus of boos. D'Lo slaps on a wristlock but Corino gets out with a roll throuugh and a belly to belly suplex. He puts on his own wristlock but D'Lo rolls through and nails his own belly to belly suplex. He puts on a hammerlock but Corino goes to the corner forcing a break. Corino hits with the greco-roman thumb to the eye and follows with a hip toss and an armbar takedown. D'Lo gets out and slaps him back. He hits a the double leg takedown and unloads with a series of rights but Corino gets to the ropes. D'Lo pulls him off and locks on a figure four and slaps Corino as he has it on. Corino gets under the ropes. D'Lo hits a pair of knee drops for two. He goes for his patented D'Lo Brown Bobblehead legdrop and misses. Corino gets a roll up for two. He gets another for one and a half. D'Lo stops his momentum with a clothesline. He puts on the rear chinlock but Corino gets to the ropes again. He droptoe holds D'Lo throat first on the rope and proceeds to choke him using the ropes. He bounces off the ropes, looking to drop a leg on the prone D'Lo but he moves and Corino gets crotched on the second rope. D'Lo comes back with a forearm to the back and hits a butterfly suplex for two. He follows up with a knee lift and Corino falls to the floor. D'Lo follows him out, nailing the baseball slide. Back in the ring D'Lo comes off the top with a crossbody for two. He sets up Corino on the top rope but he blocks the right hand and hits a European uppercut. He stands up on the top rope and hits a diving clothesline. D'Lo blocks the Old School Expulsion and gets a roll up for one and a half. Corino is visably frustrated. He gouges D'Lo's eyes again and puts on the Koji clutch, hooking D'Lo's arm with his other leg when he gets close to the ropes. D'Lo finally drapes his leg on the bottom rope to force the break. D'Lo almost hits the Sky High but Corino slips and goes for a dragon suplex but that gets blocked. D'Lo hits a stiff forearm to the back and puts on the Dragon Sleeper. Corino quickly gets to the ropes. They trade forearms and jabs until Corino surprises him with an uranage and follows up by mounting him and unloading with a series of right hands until D'Lo is busted open. The two men battle back and forth for nearly all of the forty five minute time limit. D'Lo has an advantage and Jack Victory, sensing the end is near hops on the ring apron to distract the referee before Brown can finish off the champ. D'Lo knocks Victory off the ring apron with a left hand but Corino corrals him from behind with a rollup. D'Lo manages however to roll through the roll-up and kicks Steve Corino in the gut, doubling him over. Trent Acid, Masato Tanaka, and Julio Dinero come running out to make the save but get cut off at the pass by the Briscoe Brothers, Mr. Wrestling III and Colt Cabana. Seconds away from the time limit expiring, D'Lo nails Corino with his own finisher, the Old School Expulsion for the one, two, three at the 44:52 mark! [B]"D'Lo Brown is the new NWA Heavyweight Champion of the World!" [/B]exclaims Scott Hudson. The Briscoes, Colt, III all pour into the ring to celebrate with D'Lo. Colt and III hoist him up on their shoulders and the crowd cheers wildly. The Horsemen drag their leader back to the locker room, vowing revenge the whole way. Colt and III put D'Lo down and out from the back comes James Brown who takes the belt from ringside and presents it to the new champion. As the pay per view goes off the air, James Brown takes the mic and breaks out into an impromptu rendition of I Feel Good as everyone dances and celebrates. (Match A*, Celebration A) Show Rating: A

D'LO the new champ.....personally I like the heel champ with face chasing him, but you already did that with D'Lo...Nice buildup...But this fan predicts a short reign with "The King Of Old School" becoming a 2Time champ The Briscoes retaining...I would've predicted...It kind of ends the little rivalry with the maximos (Which was a decent program for the first set of title defenses) but the impending feud with The Extreme Horseman has grabbed my attention as far as NWA Tag Titles are concerned... Mr. Wrestling III wins the title, but essentially hands it back to Hero...I love Hero in "NWA Return To Glory" and this outcome only elevates this program...And the matches between these 2 should be great...Especially if I'm right on who I believe is behind the Mask of Mr. Wrestling III. Weise vs Bloom feud...needs a little buildup for me to get into...Weise is my favorite character...I'm hoping you get into writing for Matt Bloom like you have with "The King of Monsters" Not a big fan of the Danger Zone (yet) and I just have a hard time envisioning New Jack in anything NWA related...But its still early here, so I'll wait and see where you go with this... All in All...Another great show, I love your format and writing style...Keep up the good stuff
