Yeah, that's fair. If quality is always gonna be up there; great. My concern is that the novelty of it was a big factor to the enjoyment.

If they can keep up the pace of the first 4 episodes, I'm all for it. I'm hoping that at some point, Tex Ferguson cuts a promo in a full body cast because Chad 2 Badd paid off Papa Shango to put a voodoo curse on him. "MAH EAR IS GONE 'CAUSE YOU SENT TIGER JEET SINGH TO CUT IT OFF WITH HIS DAD-BLAME SWORD!"

Also, whenever something gets over organically in WWE, they either change what we like about it, or cram it down our throats until we're sick of it. They can't just stay consistent with something.

I almost think they should leave it. I was thinking the same at first, similar to how The Honeymooners was only around for 39 episodes because it was determined that the material couldn't be maintained at such a high standard, but if they've got the material to be able to do it without wearing out its welcome, I'm all for it. I think because the Southpaw episodes were so short, there's still plenty left for them to do before wearing out their welcome. The worst thing that could happen would be the main roster higher ups getting involved. I can already hear Kevin Dunn complaining about it looking cheap, completely missing the point.

I want Southpaw to be a live event I can buy tickets to so badly.

My dream additions to the cast, given that much of the humor is in the miscasting.
AJ as snooty French heel. Miz as savage from parts unknown who can't speak English. Maryse can play the Kim chee role of trying to calm him down. Charlotte as 80s influenced Lauper style pop star gimmick with mad hair and dozens of accessories. As well as the banker another occupation gimmick as it's the 80s, Ambrose the wrestling encyclopedia salesman maybe?

They should film the actual matches at house shows. If they can change the ropes for the CW division they can do the same for this.
Imagine those not in on the joke being baffled by Rusev dressed as Hillbilly Jim facing creature that appears to have come from the sea.
Or do it at Full Sail and hope they go along with the joke and come in 80s clothing and keep their phones in their pockets.

SUSAN CALLED BACK!! ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) I want them to do a storyline in which Susan is pregnant and every member of SRW could potentially be the father even Christian Joy

Yeah the AJ as a foreign heel thing desperately needs to happen. I was thinking more of a Russian heel with a curiously Southern accent. I think someone needs to just be themselves as well to add to the joke. As in all of these weird 80s style gimmicks and then...Mark Henry is just Mark Henry.
Anyone else think there's a certain sadness to SRW though? That late 80s time period looking back was not a good time for wrestling as a lot of the local promotions went under and by 1990 the industry as a whole was a lot worse off for it. After all, it's difficult to poach talent from various territories when those territories are extinct. By 1989 or so these smaller groups really just had a bunch of old territory veterans who weren't going to the WWF or WCW, or they had green rookies who were a few years away from being major stars (stuff like Mark Calaway being Master of Pain in Memphis, or green Cactus Jack, etc.).

Finally we'll get answers to those burning questions: Did Big Bart get his farm back? Does Tex rule the territory again? Will there be more fried(WOO!) chicken? And will it be (WOO!) crispy and (WOO!) tangy enough?

Nah, the matches, if they have them, need to be filmed in some dingy arena, after all, the concept of Southpaw is that the company is barely hanging on, having it be a nice arena like full sail would ruin the joke.

Requires more Clint Bobski and Surfer Dudes with Attitude.
Maybe we'll see the Surfers debut?
