Isn't That Right, Chairman?



TNA still existing makes me realize that the WWE is never going anywhere.

If TNA can still somehow hang on after everything it's been through, then the WWE, no matter how bad it gets, will be with us forever.

It blows my mind that the NWA still exists as an entity and now has a TV show of some kind?

Not as much as the fact that TNA still exists.

They have a TV show in as much every back yard wrestling fed on youtube does.

Are you going to order it on PPV? Then of course you should order the poster.

Hell, even if you were to watch at like a bar or something then you're still giving them at least a little money by ordering the poster.

I seem to recall that the actual reality of the Summerslam 99 finish being what it was came down to Jesse Ventura being in office at the time and not wanting to have his face next to the company’s big bad guy, raising his hand, after weeks of putting them on clear opposite sides in the build. He felt it wouldn’t be good for his image as governor. Austin had no problems dropping the title to just about anyone if they were built up as a legit challenger, especially then, since he was on the way to neck surgery in a couple of months anyway. The Foley win was Vince compromising with Jesse, not with Austin.

I believe Austin also felt that HHH wasn't ready to be The Guy at that point. (And he wasn't wrong.)

It was partially Austin but mostly not wanting to have Ventura count for a heel.

NWA Powerrr is pretty cool. Like, I don't know it's not a replacement for big arena type wrestling but it is a nice supplement. I can't imagine having NWA as the only show I'm watching but if you're following AEW and think like, what other show would I like to add to my wrestling menu I'd put NWA above all the other C tier leagues (ROH, Impact, MLW, probably more I'm not even remembering).

Brock Lesnar got a ton of hype in OVW for doing the SSP at his size, they built it up as a huge moment for his Mania main event against Angle ... and then he landed right on his loving head and never tried the movie again.

When Sid had his “winning streak” during the Goldberg feud was it played up seriously or tongue in cheek?

It was never taken seriously.

The man would come out to the ring after matches and powerbomb people, pin them and add them to streak.

Yeah, but look at the veteran smarts of Chuck Taylor jumping up off the table to keep the action going. A pro even over a decade ago.

It's a fun, compact show that looks and feels unlike anything else out there. The wrestling itself is mostly solid but not amazing, but they have some really excellent and charismatic talkers there and they let them improv pretty much everything as far as I've understood. Give the first episode a watch and see if you like it!

Jerusalem posted:

Watch the first episode for sure, if you don't like that you won't like the show in general. Second episode was kinda weak but the third episode was a ton of fun, I legit look forward to watching the NWA every week at the moment and it's a weird and alien sensation.
thank you friends, i will give it a shot
