Brian Fowler Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I assume there's at least one great match with like the Midnights or someone, but fuck that Stampede ten men is just flat out awesome and gonna be real hard to top. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Maybe the better question is what's the best match with the RWs that was good because of the RWs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the Road Warriors/Sasaki vs. Steiners/Scott Norton match at the Tokyo Dome in 1996 but that's more Beef Spectacle than actually great match.

Kang Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Raven said Billy Corgan will be shutting down the NWA. "I think Billy’s shutting it down, from what I hear,” Raven said. “From the grapevine, I heard that Billy’s not opening it back up, he’s really disillusioned.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custos Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Surely it would be a significantly different from an expenses/structure perspective Lagana-less given he was like a Borash in TNA wearing all the hats (not least the Ten Pounds of Gold mini-docs which is what put them on the map before the studio show). Where would he even start in tiptoeing through the carny minefield? I mean, Pritchard’s not a free agent now so hope is lost in finding a five-tool player with integrity...

Custos Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 (edited) Well he didn’t survive 2+ decades without being able to wriggle out of a hole or two. But I grant you, worst RAW ratings of all time is a pretty sizeable hole. Wasnt a 1.1 rating the running joke for TNA viewership in the mid-00s? Like no matter what they do and who they debut it will never break 1.1? Or was it 1.1m viewership? Edit to avoid double post being late to the party: I’m pretty sure Power Slam magazine in the UK introduced a section with humorous comments taken from DVDVR on their letters page sometime 2005-6ish and so I went to the source and mostly lurked since then. My memory may be deficient so perhaps another Brit can corroborate. I think it only lasted a couple of months, maybe because a DVDVR poster slagged off the lack of Lucha content in said magazine.

Kang Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 If Pritchard doesn't work out role wise..WWE's only other option left is somebody younger than 50. Anyway with the one writing team mandate in effect and the plan to do less house shows when they start those back up...one wonders if WWE will eventually end the brand split between Raw and Smackdown. Could help boost the ratings short term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spontaneous Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I'm not shocked NWA wouldn't survive the pandemic, sadly. Hopefully the breakout wrestlers on there can find spots in other companies. I'm surprised MLW isn't dead but I can't imagine a lot of companies won't be feeling the effects for years to come, like everyone else. I'm thankful some companies have been able to keep going through this. Less wrestling is never good. I just wish they were better about masks and the safety of all but again I guess that applies to life outside wrestling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 8 hours ago, Curt McGirt said: What would the best Road Warriors match be (that wasn't a squash)? I think it might just be the Stampede overall. I really liked The Road Warriors vs. Buzz/Brett Sawyer from the GCW 11/4/83 Omni show that was a WWE Hidden Gem. They weren't so calcified yet. MD: I loved this. Earlier in the day I doubled back and caught a lot of what we have of GCW TV from November. That meant I saw the Buzz Sawyer turn. The pop when he ran back to the ring to team with his brother here was huge. They had delayed this one show with the injury angle on Brett. There was just a buzz and that initial shine with the revenge cast shots and the fans reacting to every shot was great. Considering how little the Road Warriors would give a few years later, they were great at doing what they had to here. They were completely protected by the weapon-like nature of the cast and the sheer babyface fury that Buzz brought. I thought the bearhug control bits were actually really effective, which was a testament to Brett's selling and how badly the crowd wanted the Sawyers to get revenge and the finish was pretty triumphant. The perfect match for this crowd and this moment. Between this, the Last Battle of Atlanta and the Thanksgiving show, plus some stuff we know they have back in August from previous releases, we're starting to get this real picture of the territory just like we were able to with Houston a few years back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
