    The whole Nia thing is ridiculous,

    I don’t know if she’s actually responsible for Kairi’s latest injury but if she is, then she should be sent back to developmental or fired. There’s no point in keeping a woman on the roster if she’s unsafe.

    We don't even know if Nia hurt Kairi, it's unfair to pin it on her until we know.

    I'm sure the match makers are putting them together because Kairi is so damn good at getting rag dolled around and making Nia look good. Kairi could have easily flung herself outside the ring and cut herself accidentally. We've all seen her take some crazy bumps before. (Not saying that's what happened just that we don't know)

    I hope so too.

    It just seems these mistakes tend to happen around Nia.

    Is there room for a serious sports minded pro wrestling show? I think NXT comes the closest. I haven't really seen MLW. NWA has its moments but the in ring isn't really there yet. Plus having senior citizens be your tag champs killed it for me.

    Not in the mainstream. The second it started to get popular or wanted to expand it's audience it would turn into WWE-lite.

    I would like see something like UFC or pro boxing with dial turned up.ROH has the name value for it, but I don't think Marty is capable or willing to book something like that.

    There was a brief period that TNA tried this. This was probably TNA at their best (circa 2007 or 2008, I honestly can’t remember).

    But they gave up and turned to WWE lite when Hogan, Russo and co came in.

    To me that decision was not a good one for the NWA. I love the Rock N Roll Express and consider em a great tag team for what they accomplished over the couple decades. But in no way should they be tag champions of a company in their late 50's/60's. Its just silly to do. In January the NWA made Eli Drake and James Storm tag team champions.

    I think the in ring for NWA is fine. They ain't trying to make every match an epic like AEW. Having the short matched and saving the barn burners for the main-event is rather refreshing.

    MLW is fairly straight up, its what the NWA should be modeling after IMO

    Court Bauer has a solid YOUNG roster and a relationship with AAA, The Crash, DragonGate

    MLW has lots of hidden gems on their roster. How no one have gone after Jacob Fatu and the Von Erich brothers is insanity.

    I understood what you wrote.

    I was merely saying what I saw.

    The homage looked more NWA than NWO to me but wasn't the NWO paint a homage to the NWA, too, in a way?
