Billy Corgan is putting classic NWA content on Youtube: first ep Houston Wrestling w/Andre The Giant

[TheGodling]

Looks like they're going to put up a show every week as long as NWA Powerrr is shut down. @stro about to eat.



One name stands the test of time when talking legendary promoter is Paul Boesch and Houston Wrestling. The long-time NWA Promoter presented wrestling in the city of Houston in the 1960s, 70s and 80s featuring the biggest names of all of wrestling from every major wrestling organization.

This special presentation of Paul Boesch's Houston Wrestling features legends of the National Wrestling Alliance like Andre The Giant, NWA Worlds Champion Harley Race who is holding the Ten Pounds of Gold, Superstar Billy Graham, Mil Mascaras, Bruiser Brody, Gino Hernandez and so many more.

This video also features classic commercials from the era featuring Dusty Rhodes and others.

Plus in action - Gino Hernandez & Superstar Billy Graham/ The National Wrestling Alliance is proud of its history across all the territories and the seventy plus years of the NWA.

It's actually pretty fukking weird that of all the NWA footage that the NWA group/promotion/whatever it is now is basically just Houston and some St. Louis. When they had their own little streaming platform, it was also almost exclusively Houston. They had some loopholes like some JCP stuff that aired on Houston/St. Louis programs, but like seriously 99% was Houston.

Side Note: WWE Network also uses this loop hole and occasionally has AJPW footage that was shown on Mid South or MACW. I think some WCW shows have nearly full NJ matches as well.

Holy shyt @ Harley Race casually calling Mil Mascaras the Tortilla Cannibal from Mexico. shyt like this is definitely why WWE won't touch their archives.

Oh there's all kinds of crazy shyt like that on Mid South/MACW/WCCW shyt on the Network. Even WWF shyt too, really, as Piper's whole thing in the Hulkamania era was saying racist shyt to every ethnic wrestler he could find.

Yeah I'm honestly surprised they made it through that Sicodelico match without any overt racism but still that promo was wild as hell just because of how casually he dropped it.
