I dunno, I kinda think SRW has a pretty mediocre title scene. John Johnson doesn't seem like he's all that over. I'd rather see Ferguson vs. 2 Badd for the title. It just goes to show that wrestling fans are able to accept a less-than-ideal choice as champion, so long as the rest of the card is given a chance to shine with engaging character work and stories.

If they do more of these then they need to get Randy Orton in on this as a parody of his dad. Have him wear casts on both arms and legs.

This was the most important thing that happened this weekend, my god. So much more entertaining they what they're putting on TV.
And John Cena entertained me for this first time in...over a decade.
And this made me a Luke Gallows fan as well.

Jerry Lawler needs to make an appearance.

Lawler should play the head booker of SRW, Fritz Van Der Verne, who insists on pushing his untalented and probably drug addicted son, Gary.

Yeah I don't think we needed Jericho's character. In those old shows the ringside commentators handled the interviews as well, even the ring announcements. Such a redneck league wouldn't have all the financing to have 3 different announcers.
It is hilarious though that I found myself wanting to see Ferguson vs. 2 Badd and Big Bartholomew vs. the Sea Creature more than 90% of the WM card.

I want a scene where a guy in studio is getting savagely beaten and Lance Catamaran keeps saying "Oh no! Stop that!" In his same calm voice Lance Russell and Gordon Solie style

Something will catch on. Much like life, post-Mania Raw crowds find a way. Raw is in Brooklyn tonight, expect LOTS of SRW chants from the crowd

If Mauro no-shows SmackDown tomorrow night, Cena should do commentary as Lance Catamaran.

Such a redneck league wouldn't have all the financing to have 3 different announcers. They did say that he was the nephew of the TV station owner. That's why there's 3 announcers. Lawler should play the head booker of SRW, Fritz Van Der Verne, who insists on pushing his untalented and probably drug addicted son, Gary. That should be John Johnson's role. No charisma, ok talent, but he's champion because he's the booker's son.

I need my wrestling delivered like this. This is the best WWE work I have seen since Mania 30.

Something will catch on. Much like life, post-Mania Raw crowds find a way. With Rusev being out, the only guys they can really latch onto for it on RAW would be Jericho, who is already crazy over for his recent gimmicks, and Gallows/Anderson, who could REALLY use the personality boost for their regular characters but kinda have to stay heel for the sake of the tag division... Unless you want the top heel team being The Shining Stars. (Also Perkins, but I'm not sure how his part in this could be applied to his current character) If Gallows & Anderson are in a match the day after Mania, there needs to be a duelling "Let's go Ferguson"/"Let's Go Chad" chant.

I just watched episode one again and I have to give a shoutout to TJP. He did't have much time but what he did have was funny as hell. Trying to fight for the mic with Jericho, to "I...I am." and "I...i'm looking for a fight". The leaving the belt in the locker room just killed me though. It's John Cone's looks to camera that get me. Making the most of his backstage on-screen time.

I think they would probably can Fandango's character in real life and promote Jericho. Even for a redneck promotion Chett's unprofessional behavior would be a bit much. I was just thinking the other day that a modern show like this could go over gangbusters. Maybe just hire a couple of announcers and let them ad lib everything, have a studio audience, just a total retro show but not a joke show. NXT has elements of this but is too glitzy and WWE for it to be a retro show. Really OVW is the last remnants of this, but the talent level there now is totally local indie and not serious pro wrestlers. That said, Gilbert Corsey is the main announcer on OVW now (you might know him as the newscaster from Total Nonstop Deletion) and he is also a newscaster on WDRB Fox 41 (though oddly OVW is on a different station). I love that sort of stuff, a real newsman as a wrestling announcer on the side.
I do wonder if various eras of OVW had been shown on the Network what people would have thought.

I'm late to the party but I'm watching it now. When Ferguson walked out with the Ribera Steakhouse jacket, I busted out laughing and I haven't stopped smiling since.

Finally got around to this. Holy hell this was amazing.
I said in the MVP thread that I had to pause an episode because I was laughing so hard I was crying.
Whoever came up with Tex Ferguson wearing two eyepatches and sunglasses is f***ing brilliant.
Every character is just phenomenal.
I want to see Tex Ferguson v. Chad 2 Badd (big up for rock music playing when he entered the promo) so badly. Seriously you did more to want me to see a match in a total of a minute than you do with hours of WWE programming every week.
Tex Ferguson is f***ing money.
Chett and Lance need to be calling Raw.
John Johnson = Champ 4 Lyfe
