The Austin Idol spots literally have me rolling. Someone has some imagination.Bogart said:Caught up on NWA Powerrr on You Tube. Random thoughts:
- The presentation is great. One hour is the perfect time. The studio feel has grown on me. The fake commercials and real ones are great. They are getting sneaky good with guys like Sean Mooney, Stu Bennett and Elijah Burke on commentary.
- Thunder Rosa, Ashley Vox and Allysin Kay are really great performers and great stars to build the women's division around. But they will need more women soon. I'm pretty unimpressed with the others, including the returning Melina. But with only an hour a week to fill, they can slow play this division.
- Nick Aldis is the perfect heel champion for this company. I have no idea how the WWE would bury him, but he is perfect here. He's channeling Ric Flair without the dramatics and balances the reverence to the NWA history with moving forward into new stories.
- With apologies to Aldis, Ricky Starks and Aron Stevens, my absolute favorite guy to watch is Eli Drake. Part Stone Cold, part The Rock, part Chris Jericho, he does everything really well and is fun to watch.
- I loved all things 80s wrestling, and probably cried when my issue of PWI showed them beating the evil Russians for tag team gold, but I do not need 61 and 63 year old Rock-N-Roll Express still wrestling, or talking. I get why Corgan and Lagana brought them in, but I hope it ends pretty quickly.
- Kamille is the real deal. Super hot, great size and look and has taken a massive bump and given a great spear in her short time here. She will be a star in any company.
Nick Aldis has come a long way from his days as Magnus; this gimmick works very well. I'm interested to see how this run with Marty Scurll goes - it's the 10 Pounds of Gold vs. $500k.
The Rock and Roll I agree need to stop wrestling; maybe as a special attraction, but not full time. That last run was probably a payoff for being NWA supporters for years.
Kamille is the real deal. I saw her at ROH last year, and the dude next to me was really taken aback by her. He literally said he wouldn't have sex with her because he was legit afraid she'd snap it off. She does so much without saying a word. She's can convey a lot of things with her face; not everyone can do that.
