on the one hand they want to respect the history and legacy of the NWA on the other, i want them to shoot vignettes with the Rock as an alternate history Flex Kavana who was 3 time NWA World Heavyweight Champion

pass. The Rock would make Tim Storm look tiny. And that'd be weird.

Random note - a lot Memphis stuff is just randomly on Amazon Prime streaming (as well as Youtube of course) if you search for it. The laws regarding who does or doesn't own that footage is a bit confused and lax.

Seams posted:I have no idea why this show works but it does. 1) really good ring sound/sound design in general. everything sounded meaty like out of The Wrestler 2) no fat/filler definite highlight old man storm is really not that bad at the old school kind of match they worked. really good story too with storm doing top rope and then illicit poo poo out of desperation, a fine bout IMO. i have no idea how long i will keep watching this before the novelty wears off but i expected absolutely nothing and it over-delivered handsomely

I still feel bad for Storm when they did the title switch at the CZW show. That was an ugly crowd(IIRC it was Cage of Death of all places). It was real dirty feeling.

That was a fun little hour of wrestling. Leaning into the old school aesthetic and having a unique niche seems like a good way forward for them.DJExile posted:http://universalwrestlingcollege.com/

The gallery link is just a video of the Idol/Lawler hair apuesta. The one where he offered to refund the fans if he didn't shave Lawler.

I expected this to be a mild curiosity I watched on Youtube at my leisure, but I will be watching this live every Tuesday at 3:05 Pacific just like I did WCW Saturday night. Wrestling feels like something that should be on in the afternoon, save shows like Dynamite.

Same reaction I had. I was curious because twitter folk said it was really good. I went in with measured expectations and was really shocked by how great the presentation was. The vintage look and feel of it was just great. I'll definitely watch this every week.

If I had to pick for this week I'd go with AEW as better overall, NWA as more surprising At this point I know what I'm getting from AEW and I love most of it NWA exceeded my expectations in the look and feel of Powerrr to the point where I see myself making it the only other wrestling show I go out of my way to see weekly. Considering the journey to this point in the Corgan era, I definitely didn't see that coming, and I'm absolutely impressed

DoctorGonzo posted:the love for storm its ironic right? the guy is trash and looks like george liquor from ren and stimpy In addition to his look, I like that he is old, has a day job and never made it. That he wrestles kinda lovely and does weird/unpolished promos is part of the charm. It's nice in small doses and seems appropriate for a promotion like NWA.

I think AEW will likely be the best show of the week for the foreseeable future, but Powerrr is probably going to be my favorite if it stays the way it is. It's just so different and has so much charm.

Even having no nostalgia for this style of show I enjoyed this a lot more than I expected. Aside from Cornette being Cornette and grinding his axes every chance he got it was just a very easy to watch show I can easily see myself watching every week.

I loved everything about Power. I too have no nostalgia for NWA but man the look, how the wrestlers acted, how they dressed. Everybody was an individual and got their personality across. The flow was excellent.

Tim Storm is like that gym teacher at your high school who was kind of a douchebag but raised insane amounts of money for muscular dystrophy as a hobby. You know he's a bit of a poo poo but you can't help but root for the guy trying hard and doing good.

I didn't know what to expect but that countdown star screen with the swelling music did a good job of pumping me up. I only watched about half of it so far but I enjoyed what I saw. very unique (for today), pure traditional and has a warm charm to it. gonna watch the rest of it. I enjoy aew more but I'm definitely interested in this every week as well. between aew, njpw and nwa I've got my hands full with wrestling. and to think wwe drove me away many years ago. thanks to aew (and this forum in part) my interest was rekindled and realized there are soo many options.

The show was a lot better than I expected, and they really went out of their way to recreate that particular era of JCP's World Championship Wrestling sanctioned by the National Wrestling Alliance on WTBS The Superstation. The camera angles, the way the studio layout was setup, those various flags hanging from the rafters, it was basically like they just binged watched those old shows and tried to mirror them as closely as possible. Needs more mustaches and mullets, though. If they stick to an hour a show I'm on board. I do miss that style of studio wrestling, it's a nice compliment to longer arena wrestling programming for the week.

Yeah, I enjoyed him on commentary, it's something he is very good at along with historical research of specific geographical areas of pro-wrestling. Just a shame about... y'know... everything else.
