The dreaded SALVE!

I mean I get that getting Ben-Gay in your eyes would royally suck, but that really doesn't translate to wrestling at all.
Yes that was my biggest problem with the match.

That and all this time I thought it was pronounced Josef-us, not Joseef-us.

I'm about halfway through it and Jocephus has 0 offense in. Tim Storm doesn't seem to be too interested in actually hurting Joco tho. Just sorta gently throwing him into things.

I'm sorry but if you can't pulp a dude's eyes after repeated gouges you're weak.

e: the finish?! OMFG WHAT IS THIS HORSESHIT?!?

I want all of Tim Storm's dialogue in the first 10 minutes of the match to be replaced with "I'm the eyehole man. Give me back my eyeholes" from Rick and Morty.

DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values
I genuinely do like that upon buying the NWA, Corgan didn't just immediately strip Storm of the title and put it on his guy. He felt the need to tell a story, build Tim Story up, and provide a context for everything before transitioning to a new champion and challenger.

Unfortunately, all it has done is make me like and care about Tim Storm more and more and care about the other 2 NWA wrestlers less and less. Magnus could not be less of a thing right now.

turn it all around

I mean, all things considered this was probably Storm's best match? He didn't have to move so much that he was gassed three minutes in and there was no actual wrestling which is an added bonus.

Also, Jocephus for champ please. Magnus is so boring.

the only thing I didn't like about the match was Jocephus didn't get the hot start. Storm punched him around the arena and managed to only vaguely wind Jocephus.

If that's true it seems to only apply to videos because they just had this PR piece:

quote:

In an announcement made today via video, the current, reigning and defending NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion Nick Aldis is embarking on a unique challenge with the famed Ten Pounds of Gold. Starting on Sunday, February 11th at Championship Wrestling From Hollywood, Nick Aldis is setting out to reestablish the idea of the traveling Worlds Heavyweight Champion. The gauntlet Aldis plans to run entitled the Aldis Crusade with Ten Pound of Gold will see the champion defend the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship over sixty days against twenty plus different opponents across different continents from North America, Europe and Asia.

Represented by the legendary Universal Heartthrob Austin Idol, Nick Aldis won the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship on December 9th, 2017 joining the list of legends and Hall of Famers like Lou Thesz, Jack Brisco, Dory Funk Jr, Terry Funk, Harley Race, Ric Flair, Sting, Ricky Steamboat, AJ Styles, Ken Shamrock, Blue Demon Jr, Adam Pearce, Colt Cabana, Tim Storm and more to hold the Ten Pounds of Gold.
https://prowrestling.net/site/2018/02/01/nwa-champion-nick-aldis-defend-title-20-times-60-days/

Also as bad as Aldis is when he just works a short tour in the US I can't wait how bad he is when he is jetlagged from travelling and wrestling across the globe.

Okay, seriously, why does everyone in wrestling hate Billy Corgan so much?

Like, I'm genuinely curious. He seems utterly incapable of getting anything off the ground, and not because he's not putting in the work or because he doesn't have the money (he is, and does), but simply because nobody wants to work with him. Is he seriously that much of a jackass to the point where even wrestlers draw the line? Is he some kind of secret sex pest?

Like, a money mark with mainstream name recognition trying to revive the NWA should be making the loving dinner bell start ringing in every indie guy's mind. Unless Corgan's either offering people comically awful contracts or just has that bad of a reputation, this is a really bizarre situation for this promotion to be in.
