Yeah personally I hate that poo poo too. So I hate him as a guy and I hate his shtick so I have zero use for him.

FullMetalJackoff: Feb 15, 2004; Waluigi want his fucking Amiibo

Cornette wants to be the first* commentator in this century to introduce a japanese talent signing as "the oriental." Then proceed to dismiss "the internet marks" criticisms by doubling-down, much to the delight of vcrwrestling and other twitter mouthbreathers.

*Somehow get the feeling WWE (likely JBL) already did so. I'd have to sift through Kenzo Suzuki's run.

I wouldn't rule out Mike Tenay.

Benne: Sep 2, 2011; STOP DOING HEROIN

Cornette has spent the past 25 years wishing that it was still 1986, so of course he's happier than a pig in poo poo calling a wrestling show that's a deliberate throwback to the 6:05 era.

he should say the gently caress word

They are probably pitching this thing as hard as they can to anyone that will pay them for it, so I imagine they're playing things fairly safe in terms of content for the time being. No way is this sustainable as a business with an audience that small and Billy is no Tony Khan with gigantic sums of money to burn until the company turns a profit.

Yeha Tenay seemed to make it a point to say "the orient' at least 5-6 times in any match involving an asian wrestler in WCW

This show was super fun. Between this and AEW I�ve got a good four hours of wrestling to keep on each week and that�s more than enough for me.

Didn't Jim Ross get uncomfortably close to that during the SCU vs Strong Hearts match at Double or Nothing?

This is now up to 355k views on Youtube. If that level keeps up they should be able to get some kind of TV deal I'd imagine.

Hi everyone!

First and foremost we want to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our first set of tapings an absolute success! This was a first in so many ways for the NWA and your loyalty and energy made it all worth it.

To thank you guys for sticking with us, through any bumps in the road, I would like to offer you first crack at tickets for our next set of tapings and our PPV. Our PPV will be held on 12/14 with the tapings to follow on 12/15 & 12/16. All three nights will be held at the GPB Studios in Atlanta, GA again.

We feel the GPB Studio really gives an intimate environment that makes our shows special for everyone in attendance.

Based on all of your feedback and social media engagement we think we will have complete sell-outs. With that being said we will be offering the following for tickets:

PPV VIP $150- which will include early entry and best choice of seats, a commemorative poster, a studio tour with Billy Corgan and David Lagana, a group photo on set with Billy Corgan, a 20 minute Q&A prior to the tapings and your ticket to the PPV event. This will be limited to 20 tickets only to allow the best experience for those involved.

Day 1 tapings VIP $100- which will include early entry and best choice of seats, a commemorative poster, and a photo on set with the NWA World Champion prior to the tapings. You will also have a choice of snapback hat or shirt. This will be your entrance ticket to the event as well. Again this will be limited to 20 tickets.

Day 2 tapings VIP $100- which will include early entry and best choice of seats, a commemorative pin and a photo on set with the NWA Tag Team, National and Women's Champions on set prior to the tapings. You will also have a choice of snapback hat or shirt. Also your ticket to the event is included in this package. This will also be limited to 20 tickets.

For our General Admission ticketing we will be offering single day tickets at $30/each or a multi day ticket that will get you into all 3 nights for $75. The multi day ticketing will also be limited to the first 50 orders.

Tickets will be available to the public this Friday. As a thank you to you guys, I will send out a ticket link on Thursday morning at 10am EST to allow you the chance to pick the best tickets for yourself and your friends.

I really hope to see everyone in December so we can do it all over again!

Thanks!

I'm most likely going to go to the 12/14 PPV, now to decide if I want to dip into the christmas fund to meet @billy

He's gotten uncomfortably close to that a lot of times.

Also oh god please not clips of Youtube wrestling assholes.

I mean, it was Tony Falk, so it makes sense (For a brief period in the 80s in Memphis, he had the gimmick of "Boy Tony", a Boy George ripoff)

Gotta say this show isn't grabbing me like the first show since it's becoming obvious that most promos are some variation on "The NWA is back and we have REAL MEN".
