Bohan Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Billy Corgan has announced that the NWA will return to TV with a weekly show in October, tapings taking place September 30th and October 1st.

DavidB6937 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I'm certainly interested to see what their product is like going forward. They've been very good with their build-up packages in recent times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidzero Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Roh lost alot of talent and there replacing them with nobody's Tracy Williams, Mark Haskins... Etc its a shame really there's a lot of unsigned talent in the uk and North America that deserve a shot and should be signed before Joe Hendry/Tracy Williams etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're absolutely right in terms of unsigned talent being given a shot, but then you can hardly complain that the unsigned talent they bring through (in this case Haskins and Williams) are "nobodies". They aren't going to be established names as soon as they walk in are they? Otherwise they wouldn't be touching ROH with a bargepole. For what it's worth, I think both Haskins and Williams are good wrestlers, who could probably do a lot better elsewhere than the awful curse that is ROH booking.

Yeah you make some vaild points its just I like roh and I'm a bit of an roh fan boy but I guess my point is I just want it to get better and do better house's.... I have to admit some of the booking is terrible but they should have signed Elgin I know he was there before and been champ but he would have been a fresh face with name value and ultimately he would have added to the product Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly still think they're withstanding from the knock-on impact of that. They had an amazing opportunity to showcase themselves at MSG, during Wrestlemania weekend alongside the second biggest company in the world, and they absolutely shit the bed. I can't put into words how utterly awful the ROH side of the Supershow was. If you're looking to point fingers, don't point them at the talent - point them at the team that produced the ROH side of that show.

Loki Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Has anyone else watched the Raw Reunion "Day Of"? Really nice little package of backstage bits from that show. The one thing that struck me, and I'm sure it was intentional, is how much of an itch Austin has to wrestle again. From talking about doing a run-in for Riccochet, to saying a couple of times that he reckons he could do 20 minutes in the ring, to the look on his face when he comes backstage after the end of the show.... He's 54 - only 4 years older than HHH. Michaels came back, Taker came back, Hogan was still wrestling at that age... He looks in phenomenal shape too, and he kind of looks the age he always looked in his original run if you know what I mean, he always looked older than he was. I've always assumed that door is closed, but I dunno - maybe there's a chink of light there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members gmoney Posted August 9, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted August 9, 2019 He could do something like that Rock match at D-Generation X when his neck still wasn't healed, where he just battered the Nation for 6 minutes and didn't take a bump.

They got HBK, they got Goldberg, they got their own guy called Mansoor - I've often thought that Austin will eventually come back for whatever exorbitant fee they'll throw at him.
