BurningBeard Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Have they played up the fact he's the first and only UK wrestler to hold that belt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 20 hours ago, RIPPA said: The claim is that Aldis will defend the title 20 times over a 60 day period So basically three times a week. Whee?!?!?!?! That's almost 4 times as many defenses as Brock's had in a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabu's NWA Title victory isn't on tape but Gary Steele winning and losing the Championship are. What a world we live in. Ā 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thibs Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I love what theyāre doing with Storm here. Great promo, fun match, awesome storytelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted February 5, 2018 Author Share Posted February 5, 2018 Long story short - Tommy Dreamer is getting a shot at the title. That isn't really helping the WHAT YOUNGSTER CAN THE NWA BUILD ON!!! talk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spritenaut 32 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 NWA could do worse than putting the belt on Sam Adonis. Ā They could put it on, say. Nick Aldis. Oh.....Ā 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky Blue Sam Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Apparently Aldis is defending the title at Coventry Pro Wrestling as part of his UK tour. I'm not opposed to Aldis as champion, but having your belt defended at only the 2nd biggest company in Cov doesn't exactly shine a spotlight on your title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianS81177 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Can they call him Ellsworth? I would have assumed WWE owns the rights to the name.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewar Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 He said on Jericho's podcast that James Ellsworth is his first and middle name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 It's his real first and middle name, so I assume they can't trademark it. They certainly couldn't stop him from being James Ellsworth Morris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Ape Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Remember when we believed in Billy, that he would change the wrestling landscape with the NWA revival? somehow this is more embarrassing than the Tharpe and post-WCW 90s eras 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 The videos were great. But I said it way back after the first Storm/Aldis match: they need guys who can work a modem style if they are going to succeed. Aldis confuses me. Multiple promoters now have seen him as a top guy, despite crowds pretty much never caring about him anywhere. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 can we just admit that they are just trying ANYTHING not to have an Aldis vs Jocephus title match.Ā I mean he wins a hardcore match to become the #1 contender and now he seems to 3rd in line for a title shot Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Web Conn Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 It's not like Ellsworth beat him. They had a match, Ellsworth believe it or not has some buzz right now. He's not gonna be Champ but fuck use him while people still give a fuck. I think the NWA title should be on someone a little more contemporary but everyone who would be a credible champĀ is signed to somebody be it ROH, LU, WWN or Impact. I'd put the belt of Jeff Cobb once his Lucha Underground contract runs out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
