Phenomenal. If only they had even just one guy I cared about.

Where in the blazes did they dig him up from?  That's awesome.  And I love the set and am at least curious to see how the show is.

They are also including the Dawson Brothers from North Carolina area.  I can imagine them have a good old fight against Homicide & Kingston if allowed.

Dawsons vs Homicide & Kingston in a No DQ match was taped last night.

So, having seen the set up, do you think it's a mistake to be playing on the nostalgia thing too heavily or is it a smart choice as that's what people associate the NWA name with anyway and nostalgia is 'in'? 

 

[Ace 4,694]

 I think it's a mistake. This isn't something new to revitalize the NWA. This is cosplaying 1986. It seems less Billy Corgan and Dave Lagana and more Dave Marquez.

 

[BurningBeard 3,943]

It looks glaringly out of place, I'll admit that much. Holding my reservations until I've seen the show but I can't help but feel it's going to seem jarring having that set-up with modern wrestling/promos taking place within it

[Matt D 10,681]

There's maybe a niche market for it right now? I'm not sure how they can stand out doing the same thing as WWE/NXT/MLW/ROH/AEW. I can see how they might think this is worth a try in a very crowded marketplace?

[Ace 4,694]

This is just rehashing Championship Wrestling From Hollywood, but with more Crockett fixation.

 

[alstein 528]

I think the market for 2nd-tier wrestling is saturated right now with MLW, ROH, Impact, and NWA competing for the same dollars.   The good news is NWA lacks the baggage Impact and ROH have, so I think there's a shot, but MLW seems to have the best shot of making it.

 

If AEW starts raiding, which I think they're going to have to at some point, one of those four promotions is probably going to go under.

[Nice Guy Eddie 19,955]

This show is a fun throwback. 

[LoneWolf&Subs 4,429]

That was legitimately good. It felt a little overproduced at the very start, but it got more natural once the first match started. I don’t know what the ultimate goal for this is, other than it’s all done to satisfy a money mark. But if syndication wasn’t such a dead industry, this would be the perfect show to follow something like Price is Right on a weekday afternoon.

[Raziel 7,456]

I loved everything about this show.

 

EDIT: Especially THIS:

I've never realized until now, but Jocephus and Zack Galifinakis are one and the same.

I was a bit like 'the fuck?' when I first saw it but I kinda dig it.The Dokken theme is maybe a step too far - I mean, it's awesome, don't get me wrong. But still.

I need to watch it properly to really judge, but yeah I don't completely disagree with what they're going with.

[The Great ML 1,078]

Loved it...top to bottom.

[ComingToAmerica 1,058]

The Austin Idol commercial for his wrestling school may well be the exact moment the universe crossed the Parody Inversion point.

[Niners Fan in CT 13,163]

Damn I'm watching now this is very aesthetically pleasing.
