Need a word for it that's like the opposite of ambition cause

[TWERKIN' MAGGLE]

I guess purposely not watching FOX News Dancing Dinosaur makes me not a wrestling fan.

[Sicho100]

There have been a lot of promotions that have tried angling for the lapsed WCW fan. I think NWA is the first promotion angling for the lapsed CYN fan.

Whole section in that article on Tyrus, and not one mention of the sexual harassment controversies. Total puff piece.

I'm glad that Billy Corgan cleared this up for me. Why should i watch people like Roman or Seth Rollins or Rhea Ripley or Kenny Omega when i should be watching Brodus Clay.

I mean sure those wrestlers i mentioned are great in ring, charismatic, interesting, mobile, decent people (hopefully) and haven't been fired for sexual harrassment.

I'll be sure to stop watching all other wrestling and just stick to watching NWA from here on out.

[Starshine]

Shit. *Hangs up pro wrestling fan jacket* I guess I'll clean out my desk then. Thanks for the heads up Billy.

Billy Pumpkins also said that, "we must never be apart," despite the fact that he has never met me.

If he booked like it was 1979, it would be a vast improvement.

Yeah, they're just making a joke about the Smashing Pumpkins song, but if NWA really was that traditionalist, it'd at least occupy a niche. Right now, it just feels like Billy spite-booking an out of shape Never-Was because Billy's rich and it really doesn't matter to him if NWA actually does well. He'd rather be "right" than successful with it.

It's really not a wonder that in a wrestling climate where Forbidden Doors have been knocked down most everywhere and crossovers are happening with so many different promotions and talent, that NWA is one of the ones where it feels like the doors been bolted shut lmfao

Just absolutely baffling thinking, of all people to continue to go to bat for, at least when it comes to Khan, CM Punk is still realistically a draw that can still wrestle... why the f*** would you ever stick up for Tyrus... a guy who didn't draw when he was f***ing 15 years YOUNGER than he is now and is a much more garbage individual??

NWA actually had something for a split second... but they've lost it, big time.

The Post could say the Yankees play in pinstripes and I'd have to look to make sure.

I mean he hten broke up the band that he wrote that song with...

and then the one he put together to replace that one...

and then "reformed" the first one...

and then probably broke them up too....


the point is Billy Corgan is a jackass.

Which makes you wonder how long he'll stick with Tyrus. It could be until he's proven right or nobody is left watching.

Corgan: "That just proves my company is too smart for them. It's beyond Earth comprehension."

wouldn't be surprised if he's hitching his wagon to SAsaurus because he knows that literally no one else wants him, so he doesn't have to worry about the immobile slug beast leaving him.

Like when Heyman started throwing the title at like Justin Credible.

Booking Tyrus as your World Champ is one thing, booking a 50 year old Tyrus as your World Champ is in a whole other ballpark of delusion.
