wwn ran a tour of china like four years ago it was cool

wwn actually has its own people and money to book shows and presumably had contacts in china to work this out with

nwa verifiably does not have the first two of these things and i'd be genuinely loving shocked if corgan had the last of them, so unless they're working with another promotion on this that's doing a China tour, or they've managed to find a Chinese promotion to piggyback on (which, no, seriously, is that a thing?), I have to assume that someone let corgan do way too much coke and this is just drug-fueled nonsense

in a way, i kind of want corgan to succeed, because he actually kind of is uniquely suited to this for the simple fact that he's a wrestling fan who people actually loving recognize. if he wasn't an rear end in a top hat, didn't have a literal worse reputation than Ian Rotten, and knew what the gently caress he was doing in any slight respect, he might actually be able to build a decent and big promotion

but the dude just will. not. stop. stepping on goddamn rakes. it's like that Sideshow Bob bit, but times a hundred at this point

Billy Corgan is doomed to forever wander the Earth in search of shows for Magnus to retain the title at, never knowing that he threw away the only man capable of saving the NWA

Rob Conway's wikipedia page mentions a film he was in that desperately needs to be played either before or after Nitro

He also starred in the movie, "Thugin' It the Conway" featuring Val Venis.

I think the Wenzhou title defence is against Colt Cabana but China does have Middle Kingdom Wrestling and Oriental Wrestling Entertainment (who I think have some sort of relationship with Dragon Gate)

transcontinental flights are Not Cheap

e: also, does he like, have the connections to even promote a loving event in China? i'm pretty sure you need to grease the government's palms to do anything there

It’s Billy Corgan so I’m pretty sure he has money, the problem is he’s a complete moron who would spend money trying to book Wenzhou

Dude. You could get back to the olde days of NWA and have Bruce Tharpe lead a team of Asian Invaders. We will put Bruce in a kimono and give him a Full Manchu mustache. It'll be great. Rob Conway would still be there too. He'd be like "The Last Descendant of Ghengis Khan" and would have a Fu Manchu as well.

Considering his Union Jack hashtag in that other tweet I'd guess he's going to England for a show or two.

Eh, I feel like this wasn't so bad. It's at least an attempt at giving Aldis a personality and backstory, neither of which he's really had until now. He's still very boring and uncharasmatic but at least there's SOME effort there.

He's no Tim Storm.
