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. Ha, I sure know how to pick 'em. I saw a funny name and picked the one guy who would not go back to NWA.

Zicky Dice is one of the few guys in your scenario who could be considered a returning hero from earlier in Corgan’s tenure as NWA owner.

Tyrus has surpassed Sting If he holds it for 23 more days he will surpass Billy Watson. I asked Tony Schaivone what he felt about Tyrus surpassing Sting and he yelled "IT STIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNGS!"

Zicky Dice is one of the few guys in your scenario who could be considered a returning hero from earlier in Corgan’s tenure as NWA owner. And also a demonstration that the NWA has been capable of showcasing talented wrestlers who got some buzz from their time in the promotion. If Corgan weren't so deadset on embodying the Dude Big Dude Win mindset in the dumbest way possible, he could probably have been harnessing buzz from those kinds of wrestlers. Of course, a common complaint has been poor pay, so it might be that he just straight up can't afford anyone's commitment except the guy who's in it for vanity and has a day job.

Between pay and his own ego on how his books the NWA. Which IMO is taking a dump on what made the NWA so good in the 80's and earlier. As different champions looked in those days Race, Dusty, The Funks, Flair, Steamboat, and well you know the lines Flair always used. Everyone was different in bodies and ext but they all could do one thing. That is work. Any one of them could go 20 to 30 mins on any given night. When I look at who he let walk out of the door. Some was money and others was ego more on Billy's part than them Nick Aldis and Mickie. Nick said it himself that he didn't think the NWA would be Harley Race approved. That should mean something. The fact the NWA once had Ricky Starks, Eli Drake (LA Knight), James Storm, Thunder Rosa, and ext on there roster. While Pandemic played a role. Not all of them left for that reason. To see the real talent not being used or have to do stupid finishes. Zicky Dice was great as a character and still is. I'm sure he wasn't gone because of money because he was months between his last NWA match to his first Impact. The Hex is another team gone. A lot of that had to do with the NWA Empower 2 stuff. *UPDATE* Its official that NWA 75 Main Event is NWA World title match between Tryus defending against EC3.

If Tyrus keeps the title for this long, just think how long that Garrett Bischoff title reign will last.

Tyrus has surpassed Christian Cage If he holds it for 76 more days he will surpass Trevor Murdoch. He might not reach Murdoch as 76 days is a fairly good stretch. Still, it’s concerning. As it is he is within 5 spots now of Terry Funk!

Think this Tyrus reign will win this years Observer award for most disgusting promotional tactic?

Since I didn't see an NWA thread, if what I saw on NWA's twitter is what I think it means, things are about to get even worse than having Tyrus employed:
F*** you, Corgan.

Yeah, if it's ICP, that'd be a marked improvement over the current situation, but I have my doubts. I still want ICP to show up in AEW at least once, just by virtue of them appearing goddamn everywhere in wrestling like at least once. They already hit NWA with TNA, no need for a two-fer.
