No actually it would rule a lot to send Carmelo Hayes to learn how to hard cam from Bram.

It's sad yes, but I suppose it's also a fair reflection on just how much the NWA has fallen in stature and relevance. It would own if the NWA title ends up being part of a Triple Crown title like All Japan used to have, to be honest.

NWA had a nice niche in wrestling that Billy himself leaned into and then failed at capturing any kind of new audience or even at keeping the old people who liked the throwback aesthetic they had. Hell, looking through the roster it still doesn't even look that bad but I don't care a lot about guys like Aldis, Tim Storm, or Tyrus at all so maybe a developmental wouldn't be all that bad for the NWA

Ryan Satin creaming himself on twitter as Nick Aldis stares down Cody. Corey Graves on commentary bellows "Nick Aldis has gone All In on the American Nightmare Cody Rhodes." The WWE universe rejoices, praising the revolutionary genius of Papa H, the need for informative video packages and complaints of needing to watch every indie show long forgotten as they collectively pretend to recall their favorite Magnus Moments.

Billy Corgan with some of the best sentences I've read.quote:Women, I've been saying it for ten years, I said in Forbes, 'the future of professional wrestling is women.' The business has too long, overlooked, one of the biggest marketing aspects of what makes professional wrestling great. I was Nostradamus about that. I called it early.

I truly do not understand why they can't just say "The show wasn't profitable." instead of constantly saying this poo poo about the talent pool that is obviously going to infuriate everybody.

They tried that and while some of The Podcasters fell for it, opens up many questions because it did multiple times more buys than a typical NWA show.

I'm dumb as hell about NWA stuff but why are they talking about a one off show that happened a year ago instead of the one they're selling Friday/Saturday?

The impression (and external hope) at the time was it'd be more than a one-off. Corgan made it clear when randomly asked about it early this week that he thinks they need to earn that being the case https://www.wrestlinginc.com/1089473/billy-corgan-questions-if-women-can-wrestle-nwa-style-and-carry-ppv/ As for "the show they're selling Friday/Saturday", that's set to be over 3 hours long easily and has two women's matches scheduled. One of which wasn't even there until days ago despite planning for the event having started almost half a year ago https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NWA_Hard_Times_3 Taryn Terrell asked for her release and retired this week also, but idk if that's related to either of those things or just unique timing

that's dumb. The show lost money because they flew in a bunch of people and didn't recoup by booking them on secondary shows. If billy wasn't too busy psychologically abusing his bassists, he would go to promoting school.

My impression is that the timeline of events is: - Billy was advertising the upcoming show, someone asked him if they’d do another womens show, and he said he’d like to but women aren’t good enough to do it or something. - Aldis then resigned from NWA blaming disrespect of his wife Mickie James who helped put together the last womens show. - Billy then said Aldis was just using it as an excuse to justify jumping somewhere else for money. And then everyone in NWA started to defending the company by doubling down on “we love women wrestlers but maybe they all just suck?” Do I have that mostly right?

STAC Goat posted:My impression is that the timeline of events is: Aldis was already having openly public issues with the company and, pre-Corgan's comments this week, went public on the weekend saying his deal was up in January and he was gone when it was. The day Corgan made these comments a) he suspended Aldis (likely in an excuse to extend his contract further; obviously if he's free in January he can be in the Rumble that month, obviously if he's free past January he's available for whenever the AEW UK debut is) and b) Aldis reacted to the Corgan comments by saying this was one of the reasons he'd made up his mind on leaving. Everything else I think is correct At first I agreed with the people thinking he was just petty over still not being champ for so long, but Mickie genuinely cared a lot about being able to make stuff like EmPowerrr happen, so I can definitely believe that made it easier for him to burn this bridge

It’s not like they’re mutually exclusive things. People are always trying to reduce everything and everyone go some simple single issue or black or white thing. If Aldis is unhappy after years there there’s probably a bunch of things he’s unhappy about. Some of that might be petty selfish career ambitions. Some of it might be genuine anger at his wife’s efforts and passions being disrespected. And there’s probably other stuff too. That’s how humans and relationships tend to work.

Any financial arguments about Empower must note that it did 3,500 buys while most NWA shows do well under 1,000, I believe closer to 500. So if Empower is a financial loser literally every NWA show is a much bigger money sink.

I explicitly didn't even bother buying the second show even though Fite kept trying to get me to pay for the bundle, because I didn't give a poo poo about Aldis vs Tyrus or whatever the main event was. (Also I hope Aldis goes to the Fed, because TK hiring him would be a bigger mistake than Jarrett. Yes, I mean it. Jeff at least has some minor value in the office. Aldis can't even do his own finisher correctly and is maybe the most boring wrestler on the planet besides)

I hope he retires just so there’s not even the slightest chance that he ends up in a promotion I might even accidentally watch some day.
