NWA is the best.

Is he? I've met him and Mickie a few times and always had good experiences so that's a shame to hear.

I’ve worked with him and he was an arrogant arsehole. See also Bischoff and Hogan. Different story on the other side of the curtain.

I know putting the NWA title on Brodus Clay is a sign that the company is in the shits, but how has Powerrr been on a week-to-week basis recently? I remember binge-watching the entire first season during one of the lockdowns and I could easily blast my way through 2-3 episodes a day as the format of episode made watching sub-par talent like Mr. Anderson and the Dawsons tolerable. I actually felt emotionally invested into the characters, which isn't something I can say for the majority of the WWE and AEW roster. I tried watching watching the first episode of the most recent season, and it's missing something that I can't quite put my finger on. Does it get better? I've heard complaints about the current roster, but the first season wasn't exactly packed with great talent outside of Aldis, Camille, James Storm, Eddie Kingston and Ricky Starks.

NWA died when Tim Storm left.

Personally I've always found Aldis secondary in appeal to watching paint dry or removing my eyes with a blunt needle. 

Always solid but astoundingly dull in every way. 

The most consistently boring and unengaging person in wrestling that isn't Baron Corbin.

Tim’s still there on commentary isn’t he?

[chokeout]

Aldis has always been a massive overachiver for his talent level, never really being on the radar for the bigger companies. He jumped on the 'let's act like Nick Bockwinckle' train, that others have done so much better and managed to give himself a resurgence but was NWA champion for a million years and outside of a decent match with Cody and Tim Storm being ace, I'd be hard pressed to find a genuinely great match from him. He's the 'Albert was good in Japan' of US indies.

The Observer recap of the Hard Times show makes grim reading, and this paragraph is particularly bleak: 

Quote

EC3 grabbed a mic after the first few minutes of nothing, claiming that you don’t whine about things online (a clear shot at Nick Aldis), and that Latimer should hit him. Latimer refused, and EC3 claimed that Latimer only hit people when he was drunk.

It's sad to see a once light-hearted and fun-spirited show descend into...that.

Why is Kamille still messing around in NWA? Surely she'd walk into any other promotion.

"The bad press this gets is good press, actually" Smashing Pumpkins guy, probably.

When I was in Florida, Tyrus' book was prominently displayed in the two book stores I went to, and in the book aisle of at least one supermarket. So either there's a marketing machine behind him making sure it's out there, or he actually does have a fanbase somewhere. He's still utter dogshit, though.

It wouldn't surprise me if he does have a fanbase. I just don't want to think about what kind of people that could include.

probably the bloke with three teeth that I met at "Skunk Ape Headquarters" last month, who within five minutes had confessed to two separate assaults and started insisting that the election had been stolen.

I stopped giving the NWA my time when Powerrr was still good because I heard about Corgan yucking it up with Alex Jones, an extreme far-right charlatan whose conspiracy theories got death threats sent to the parents of Sandy Hook victims.

It comes as no surprise at all that he'd be comfortable making a guy fired from a show called "Un-PC" for sexual harassment (and then given his own show of course, because Fox) the face of his company. When someone shows you who they are, believe them - and if you give a damn, stop supporting them.

which also explains why in Florida he would have a fanbase. The gutter drain of the US.

Just wow.

His major wrestling figure podcast figure they made sold more than any of the guys on the shows have before. Which given Cardonas current clout and their fanbase, he must have a following.
