NWA just announced that their TV show will be 6 pm EST on Thursdays. But it is Facebook and Youtube so you can pretty much watch it whenever the fuck you want.

Billy sure loves to burn through that Smashing Pumpkins money

that'll be Tuesdays they said, starting next week (Oct 8 )

Apparently he's blacklisted from ROH and WWE now.

Anyway:

  • Monday is WWE RAW
  • Tuesday is NWA Power & Impact Impact (soon)
  • Wednesday is AEW Dynamite vs NXT
  • Thursday is Beyond Wrestling Uncharted Territory (if you sub to iw.tv)
  • Friday is WWE Smackdown
  • Saturday is MLW Fusion (?) and AEW PPVs
  • Sunday is WWE PPVs

AXS still has WOW & NJPW on Saturdays as well right now, plus NXT UK on Thursdays.

You also have CMLL on YouTube for Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. As well as occasional AAA shows airing on Twitch TV.

In a perfect world one of us will tell the rest of us that they found this crazy hip-hop wrestling federation in the middle of the night on their local MyTV, and we can add it to the list.

Being blacklisted from ROH doesn't seem like such a bad thing. I doubt WWE would have had much interest in Starr other than to keep him from going elsewhere.

David Starr is the man. I know it goes against his independent lifestyle but I hope he works with AEW at least on a partial basis. He's just so good at everything and I wish more wrestlers took his stance on unionizing.

If only. In a fun (to me, at least) side tangent: I was watching the Urban Wrestling Federation shows on Youtube and realized that, at the time, my sister worked for the company who distributed them. They also distribute those cheap ppvs you will see of "extreme" women's wrestling, "classic" wrestling and some CZW with new commentary. The local cable company is always running one of these shows and their Youtube channel has them all to watch. I asked her about it and she told me she met some "crazy guy who wouldn't stop talking about how he started extreme wrestling and everyone ripped him off all over the world." I asked her who she was talking about and she couldn't remember. Turns out it was Steve Karel and he is a jerk, in her words.

I'd be interested in seeing Michael Scott at a deathmatch show.

Also, in case you weren't joking (hard to tell online and I don't want to come off like a know-it-all who is talking down to anyone so please don't think that) Steve Karel is not the actor and was a guy involved in the business side of ECW. Not 100% sure what he did but he has a company that recenty invested in CZW, I guess. Fightful, in an article from April of this year, said he and his company plan to run live CZW PPVs and, as far as I know, that hasn't happened. Maybe on Fite but not on real PPV. If they did, I doubt they'd go off very well, knowing CZW and DJ's track records. Shame too because I love CZW. Or at least, loved it. I haven't followed it in years but I always had fun watching their shows, even if it seemed like the established indy guys would treat their CZW dates as a "night off" in ways. You always got good performances out of the CZW-lifers but their versions of indy dream matches never seemed to live up to expectations, even if the same match would be insanely great in other promotions. Their Best of the Best lineups on paper always had the potential to be highlights of the year and never quite lived up to that potential.

You forgot ROH on syndication and channels like NESN at 2am    ?

IIRC Steve Karel was the shadowy money guy who helped Heyman run ECW. He was probably the dude that helped Heyman embezzle the company from Tod Gordon. They brought him up in that unauthorized ECW book that ended with a laundry list of all the money owed to specific wrestlers. 

EDIT: Whoops, I missed Razorblade's post.
