Dave Lagana interview on Wrestling Observer Radio was a great listen.

Agreed. Have a listen if you have a chance.

This show is so good. Aldis is a great heel. Even his benevolent actions seem patronising like checking up on Storm after the match. And Tim Storm is so good! He’s the kind of white meat baby face that eludes WWE entirely. How is Tim Storm good?!??

Also the commentator with the “I’m a serious investigative journalist” gimmick is great. He’s such a dork but I don’t want to see the wrestlers beat him up.

Also the heels suck and I would like to boo them irl because they suck.

I've had the opposite experience. I've found that I care more about a headlock in NWA than I do a dive to the outside in every other promotion, so I guess a lot of the old guys were right when they said to slow things down, but if everybody were doing this, the few high flyers would stand out and feel more important, so mostly I just appreciate how different, in this case, slow, the wrestling can be.

NWA are proof positive that the most basic wrestling (both in-ring and promos) can be incredibly compelling if done with care and sincerity.

As J-Ru said in another thread, I have become a fan of Tim Storm; and am genuinely invested in his storyline of "older former champ looking to prove that he still has it".

I remember when before CorganNWA started and people googled the NWA Champion to find it was some old lumpy school teacher who only wrestled in lovely indies. Forgive us Tim Storm we knew not what we did.

I liked that Colt promo. It’s the first thing Colt’s done on this show that I’ve liked.

Nice work by Drake to shut down the question mark chant and get the attention back to him.

Glad Cornette’s gone but I still don’t think I’ll pick NWA back up. If it was a live show I could understand but the fact it was taped speaks to either incompetence or malice and I don’t feel like rewarding either at least right now.
