i'm still caught up in tyrus being f***ing fifty. Does that mean this ten tonne sack of shit was f***ing FORTY when they were trying to make him the new hype hoss in WWE?? As in, he's THE SAME AGE AS MATT BLOOM? George Gorilla was in developmental forever I think. lol I remember someone on this very board, something like 17 years ago, regularly bringing up how much Tyrus sucked back when he was in developmental in Deep South Wrestling.

Need a word for it that's like the opposite of ambition cause I'm not a wrestling fan then. Tyrus stinks... I'm sorry.

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. I wonder what the NWA would be doing right now had the Pandemic not happened. It was really hot before the Pandemic. It really did seem like it was fitting a niche. Then the pandemic happened and it all went to hell.

Lagana and Cornette also didn't do them any favors by getting into shit with people.

I wanna say it was DSR for some reason. I could be vastly misremembering but I do remember all the reports of just how bad he was at everything.

Tyrus was soggy dogshit in the ring 15 years ago, and he sure as hell hasn't gotten a shred better with age.

Imagine loving wrestling so much you bought a promotion, and then hiring and pushing Tyrus, a man with sexual harassment allegations who would never have made it beyond the undercard with his level of ability in any of the eras you claim to idolise,

Then never get booked in the territory again.

Need a word for it that's like the opposite of ambition cause I like how every reply to this is just clowning on Corgan. I've never seen anything unite Twitter wrestling fans before this.

Then never get booked in the territory again. Yeah, he'd probably bounce from territory to territory, do a few weeks, and then leave town, because he definitely wouldn't have staying power. Like, yes, that's what monster heels would do, anyway, but he's definitely no Bruiser Brody.

What's f***ed up is that in the earliest days of the revival they actually did have a niche and a vibe of being an '80s territory larp. It was a fun little something, only like 45 minutes long on Youtube every week. Just a neat little change of pace show. Slower paced wrestling, cheap set but in a charming way, lots of throwbacks. But people started to bleed out as Corgan lost a lot of talent, including Ricky Starks, the whole Jim Cornette commentary thing, and then just a general slowing of momentum. In the years since, it's just kind of bled out over time, and now obviously this Tyrus shitshow has been an absolute death. Videos on the NWA channel struggle to break the six digits now even after months of sitting around. There was a chance to carve out a real niche and find success, and Corgan has thrown it all into the fire so he could tell eveyrone they're wrong for not being into the worst conceivable guy to push.

first he stole Ernest Miller's wwe theme tune, now he's stolen Big Daddy's (70's/80's British wrestler.) older out of shape guy pushed at the top due to having a bit of name recognition gimmick.
what's he taking next?

Like seriously... What does Tyrus bring to the table? He's fat... That's about it. He's not charismatic, he can barely move, and he's really not believable as a powerhouse

I only found this thread but had a good laugh officialfan.proboards.com/thread/26476/george-murdoch"He's not a fast learner" I'll say, it's now 2023, he's currently 50 years old, and he still sucks and has never put on a good match lmfao

Say what you will about Big Daddy, he was over with the audience, while Tyrus... not so much. He's not even over with the Fox News audience Corgan is courting as not even their fans are watching Fox Nation.
