Ive seen mudshow promotions in parking lots put on better shows than this NWA crap. Hell, I saw a giant fat 400lb guy stand in the middle of the ring and take punches until he collapsed and the giant crash he made when he fell got a bigger reaction.

The NWA paid off the Fixers stealing the old NWA US Tag Titles storyline on NWA USA today, with Billy Corgan taking them back and the Fixers being helpless to stop him.

Last night's street fight brawled into the NWA catering area which is just a bunch of pizza and bags of chips. Maybe it was a worked catering area but I don't think the NWA can afford worked pizzas.

Tyrus peaked when he debuted as the Funkasauras. I remember him dancing around while wrestling this jobber and a fan is clearly heard yelling "You suck, Brodus!" and he just wiggles around and says " My bad. "

He's so right.

quote:


“I say this to a lot of veteran talent who are coming in to NWA, with me you have a fresh opportunity,” Corgan said. “I don’t care what’s happened before. Like people are still on Tyrus for being the dancing guy, right? I think Tyrus has shown that he was always a top guy. And the reason he got the dancing is over is because he was a top guy, right?

“So just because you come in with a particular gimmick, or even a rep, doesn’t mean anything to me. Everybody comes in from a veteran side with me has a fresh start.”

What are some of the things Tyrus is a top guy at in wrestling? I’ll throw some of mine out there:

Blowing up the venue bathroom
Likelihood of having a cardiac episode in the ring
Testing the tensile strength of singlet fabric

I think Tyrus is a top guy because he's nice enough to have a picture of himself on his gear so when he's blown up and turning purple you know it's him and not Grimace.

i have to assume it's some combination of:

* corgan claims to care about old-school heat, which in his mind, requires a guy who clearly should not be champion being champion, so everyone will hate him

* tyrus probably does have some weird connections with wrestlers or venues or schools or whatever

* tyrus has that hot hot fox nation bump

but god drat man keeping him champion is so dumb

Tyrus in fact does have connections to wrestlers. He is good friends with Trevor Murdoch, Aron Stevens and Kevin Kiley!

And it's not just Fox Nation, it's Gutfeld! including hosting Gutfeld! occasionally.

Also tonight's Powerrr is just some PPV match replays because I guess they couldn't edit a TV show in time.

It seems like Corgan just likes Tyrus personally and can't tell the difference between "guy you like" and "guy who should actually be the face of the promotion."

Tyrus being nice to him in TNA definitely plays a role, as does Tyrus being big but I really think he just sees him as a big star who is on national TV and puts his title on his shoulder on Fox News.

Billy Corgan rules for going from never shutting up about how much he loved Obama and Biden in the fall of 2008 to posting LaRouchePAC stuff by the spring of 2009. He doesn't rule for being an Alex Jones and Mancow guy, unless he starts putting Mancow on NWA. That would rule.

That also reminds me of the last time we saw him on WWE TV. It was an episode of Main Event. He had turned heel on Tensai the week prior. He came out in a pinstripe suit and gave a speech about how he's a main event player, and going to the top. I just remember him screaming he is a main event player and it's like yeah you're on WWE Main Event because you suck. After that he had an NXT main event and that was it.

Have been curious how all the various smaller promotions compare:



Kind of interesting, TNA way ahead but slowly declining (I'm not sure what that big summer 2020 spike is) with NWA getting their biggest spike for Empower and MLW never really getting a spike. The second time I ran it it let me prompt for GCW and they are pretty close to the NWA.

That Summer 2020 Impact spike is probably from the drama around Tessa Blanchard being Impact champ but she was either stuck in Mexico after a tour due to Covid, or just flat out refused to return to Impact during Covid. She was eventually stripped of the title and released at the end of June so that just about lines up.
