There was something about the premise of this show that genuinely unsettled me, and I couldn't put my finger on it until today.

It's the fact it makes Jim Cornette legitimately happy. :russ:

I'm so :russell:at him getting mad about the smallest wrestling related shyt, that I genuinely begrudge him the joy he feels being part of this.

He's probably over the moon that The Rock & Roll Express are the champs at 60+. shyt - he probably booked it. I didn't even mind him in MLW, because he was applying older philosophies to a newer product. In NWA - this cac might as well have hopped in a time machine and gone back to '84. They should let people smoke in the audience to really get the vibe back.

The show itself was fine, decent even - but I really don't think I can tune in week after week to watch Jim sitting at the desk like :mjgrin:while two Southern fried hicks trade holds in the ring..

I don't consider myself a hateful person, but the sight of that goofy smile plastered across Cornette's boiled ham coloured face instantly has me like

He is a star. Just not in wwe. He's an old school star. He woulda made a billion dollars in Jim crockett and mid south.

Also Bobby Roode vs James Storm is a top 5 storyline of the last 20 years.

His career arc is going in reverse: Young rookie working in WCW, establishes himself as an anchor of lower budget more Southern WCW 2.0, now an established old vet working NWA studio show from Atlanta.

Enjoyed the show.

Best thing about it was that every segment served a purpose.

Every portion either got over a person, a potential match, a current feud, or a championship.

Nothing felt like wasted time. They used less than hour to actually put on a good wrestling show that accomplished so much.

its funny how every promo has felt better than 98% of the wwe and these guys aren't any all time greats. they just are more natural and not scripted

Facts, it helps when you don't have to speak WWE jargon every promo and you're allowed to just go out there and do your own thing, I mean WWE treats their talent like children.
