Outside of a brief resurgence in TNA, has anyone cared about the NWA since the early 90's? When Bruce Tharpe took over the NWA he did apile of work and the NWA name still meant something in the deep south. Which is also where Tim Storm mostly wrestled. Which is why I wasn't totally surprised when he won the World title. Even now in tiny towns all over the Bible Belt the NWA name still means something. Last weekend VIP wrestling had a big event and one of the matches was NWA Jr Heavyweight champ Kerry Morton vs Barrett Brown. The storyline being Barrett wanted back the title he never lost. Cause when Billy Pumpkins took over the NWA Barrett was stripped of the title and told he would get a rematch soon. But it is also the southern USA where the AIWF still has some name value. OH aint heard of the Allied Independent Wrestling Fed? They are a group of not really connected indies. And current AIWF world champ is Greg Anthony,a TN based vet. And Current AIWF National Champion is MR SMACKEMS. A MS based guy that works all over the south. And yea Tyrus sucks in the ring. And add in the other stuff and makes me woner why Billy picked Tyrus as the hill to possiblely have NWA die on.

Something I'm amazed NWA doesn't catch more shit for is the whole, "Oh, the Question Mark died? Let's just throw someone else under the mask and pretend like it's the same guy," thing. I didn't see how they did it, outside it didn't last long before they head two guys in masked become a tag team more like a Doom style tag team with Aaron Stevens as the manager.

Kamille would be a better world champ than Tyrus. Max the Impaler as well. Literally, anyone the NWA books would be a better world champ than Tyrus. Yes, the roster is thin as f*** with very few viable options for a long term ace or champion, but you could have taken literally anyone that worked the Crockett Cup out of their team, had them beat Tyrus in a surprise world title match, and it would be improvement over the sexual harassment dinosaur. I was just looking at the Wikipedia results for the 2023 Crockett Cup and you’re not kidding about the roster being thin as f***! I also agree that anyone beating him would’ve been an improvement. I’m not sure who would’ve been the best pick, but Chris Adonis comes to mind. It could’ve been one of those swerves Corgan likes too since Adonis and Tyrus tagged for the event.

If you told me in the mid to late 2000s that Brodus Clay, Trevor Murdoch and Zack Ryder would all be NWA World Heavyweight Champions I would have laughed...

Tyrus should be squashed by Jennacide for the ten pounds of gold.

Rare is the day when Luke Gallows would be a massive upgrade as your top champion but these are strange times that we’re living in. Let’s not say things we can’t take back. Honestly, I'd take him over Tyrus with zero hesitation. Though, if I was making legitimate suggestions, it'd be Chris Adonis/Masters if he'd agree to it, or Elijah Burke. Hell, even Bully Ray would be an improvement, though only to an extent.

If Miz wanted to get in Hunter’s good graces forever, he’d quit, go to NWA, beat Tyrus for the belt then come right back and place it on Hunter’s desk.

I'm guessing this reign's going to last for years because 1), he defends it so little it really doesn't matter, 2), with his TV title reign Corgan's effectively had a belt on him for two straight years as it is in pursuit of this stupid, "Having the belt in the corner of the screen seen by 70-year-olds who only know what Facebook is will draw viewers to my Youtube channel!" plan, and 3), with how stubborn he's been about it I can't see Corgan being willing to just end this unless he absolutely has to.

I've never been impressed by Tyrus and certainly don't watch anything he does on Fox. When he was released from WWE he did the autograph signing circuit. Most people released from WWE are pretty nice to fans. They are humbled,. as they went from being seen by millions to now having maybe 100 fans at a signing or an indy show.
Eric Simms was his agent at the time. He was known as "Monstrous BC" since he couldn't use the Brodus Clay name. He would sign autographs BC which looked like crap. He would do the bare minimum at shows. Does anyone remember the picture with a kid where Tyrus looked like he fell asleep? The kid's father posted it online.

Take it for what it's worth, but I tried to get my friend's aunt a Cameo shoutout from him. Never answered the request.

Apparently, TNA has someone named Zicky Dice on their roster. As far am I'm concerned, Zicky Dice should defect to NWA and win the title over Tyrus in 10 seconds.

Zicky Dice is a guy who got big in the NWA and hightailed it as soon as he could, so. Yes on a few levels. He's literally one of the wrestlers Corgan's alienated with his priorities.
