Psychopath Registered: Dec. 01	I'm wondering if this could be successful and finally offer Vince some competition again. They could pick up a lot of really good wrestlers and make this interesting. The one reason I think that the NWA might not fly is the fact that they don't have a tv deal, and they're relying on people paying for PPV every week. Yeah I know it comes out to about the same as a WWF monthly PPV but I just don't know if people are going to be willing to pay ten bucks a week to see it.

Psychopath Registered: Jan. 02	People (other than the die hard fans) are not going to pay 40 dollars a month for wrestling and not get to see The Rock or Stone Cold Steve Austin. They have to have their heros otherwise the show means nothing to them. While the idea definately is a good one, they need more star power to be successful. Wrestling Equation: 1. Bad Wrestlers + Star Power/Mic Skills = Money 2. Good Wrestlers + No Star Power/Mic Skills = Bankrupt 3. Good Wrestlers + Star Power/Mic Skills = Buku Bucks. Unfortunately it looks like the NWA falls under category 2 for right now. In the end it doesn't even matter May Teh Funny Be With You Â

O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00	I didnt want to start a new thread about this, because it is NWA news. But, Francine is now officially in the NWA. Pretty cool to me. I like the way their roster is starting to shape up. I'll definitely give this new fed a chance, it seems like they know what direction they want to go in.
