Jeff Jerrett probably still technically owns a decent share of TNA right?

I think he does.

NWA launching online video service

- The service will be called NWA Classics 24/7 and will launch on Saturday, July 4th. NWAClassics.com will launch next week.

- It will have the entire Paul Boesch Houston Wrestling library with many of the matches complete with original commentary by Boesch himself. The matches span the late 1960's through 1986. The library was stored in an air conditioned unit, and the quality and clarity of the audio and color is said to be amazing. Some of these matches have not been seen in over 40 years.

- The cost will be $8.99/mo which includes unlimited access to the library. A year's subscription will be reduced to $99.99 (basically 2 months free).

- 50 matches will be released in the first month with 30 new matches added monthly. NWA president Bruce Tharpe said they have enough vintage content to keep up that pace for years.

- Some of the matches included in the first month's release:

- Harley Race vs. Andre the Giant for the NWA World Title
- Butch Reed vs. Magnum TA
- NWA World Title Match – Ric Flair vs. Wahoo McDaniel
- Kevin Von Erich vs. Chris Adams
- Dory and Terry Funk vs. Mil Mascaras and Jose Lothario
- Gino Hernandez vs. Ivan Putski
- Butch Reed vs. Buddy Landell in a “Shoeshine Match"
- Ivan Putski vs. Abdullah the Butcher
- Brad Armstrong vs. One Man Gang
- NWA World Title Match – Ric Flair vs. Terry Taylor
- NWA World Title Match – Ric Flair vs. Butch Reed
- Nick Bockwinkel vs. Bruiser Brody
- $20,000 Two-Ring Battle Royal
- Early Shawn Michaels footage, the JYD, Jake “the Snake” Roberts, “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan, The Rock n’ Roll Express, and more.

Wow 0_0. My knees buckling looking at all of that material. I may give it a chance once my funds clear up for another streaming service.

 

[¡HarlequinPanic!]

Zach, do all you can to stay #safe as you do this shopping.

I swung by the times square TRU myself during lunch today to see how the WWE section is doing. A whole wall of unsold seth rollins and d bry figures, they can't even draw in a toy store!

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Oh, a Target in Tulsa has a Four Horsement set?

See you there Zach.

 

[Zach]

I hate you.

Remember to pretend like you're shopping for an age-appropriate child, gazing at your phone at a pre-prepared "birthday shopping list" that includes "Four wrestling dolls...?"

Work efficiently, in and out cleanly. Do not stop walking. If anyone gets suspicious, remember the safe phrase "Kids sure are hard to shop for these days..." to mutter under your breath, without breaking stride.

Be sure to use a cart to obscure the toy. The last thing you want is to be seen carrying it out in the open on the way to your final challenge: the check out.

Use the self checkout at all costs, with card in hand. Do a few practice runs with innocuous items, like a can of shaving cream, to get your par time under 20 seconds.

Make contact within 6 hours so we know you made it out without dying of embarrassment. Good luck.

there's a flaw in your plan, heel.

target doesn't have self checkout

Abort mission.

I repeat, abort mission.

Haha... I like you guys.

I saw some D-Brys but no Seths. I could've just overlooked him, though, because I was so into that Horsemen set... >_>

Oh, a Target in Tulsa has a Four Horsement set?

See you there Zach.

Yeah, dude. The one on Yale. Jingle All the Way your butt down there and see what happens, Sinbad.

 

[lovely ladies]

Zach, blast the Arn Anderson theme on your phone while you're waiting at the checkout counter. Make all the other people around you feel that shit.

 

[klonere]

Loudly declare that Arn still has the best spinebuster in the business

Now this is more my style. Confusing uninterested passersby with my unabashed love of pro wrestling.

 

[Heel]

Roll in to Target like Big Brody.

"We takin' these dolls...Zach don't pay for shit. Arn got a BOLD HEAD."

 

[slightconfuse]

Zach make sure to throw up the 4 sign as you leave the store

Optionally:

Just be Vader

[Alucard]

Zach, don't do it. It's not worth it. Ask for it as a gift for your birthday or other occasion so one of your other friends or relatives can go through the walk of shame.

 

[Data West]

Did you think that was steam in the helmet?

Uninterested or strung out on meth? This is Tulsa we're talking about.

 

[Zach]

Haha... just imagining walking out with one hand holding the action figures and the other hand proudly in the air displaying the four fingers to the suckers left in the store behind me.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

I think I might legit go get that Four Horsemen set. Which version of the Horsemen?

Oh wait, that's almost north side. It's all you, friend.

 

[Zach]

Zach, don't do it. It's not worth it. Ask for it as a gift for your birthday or other occasion so one of your other friends or relatives can go through the walk of shame.

You guys are hilarious and ridiculous.

Whoa...

 

[Zach]

It was in my original post! Here's an eBay listing. $50 for Flair, Arn, Tully and Barry. Sorry, no Roma.

And if you do it, I'm totally going to be peer pressured into doing it, too. God.

Oh wait, that's almost north side. It's all you, friend.

Pfft. What? Haha...

 

[Data West]

I'm waiting for the Ed Leslie pack with a figure of every Ed Leslie gimmick.

I think I'll check a different target. One in a more hospitable area.

Spoiler

Honestly one that isn't a pain in the ass to get to from where I am right now

I'm ok with no Roma if I get Tully and Arn. The CORE of the Horsemen

 

[Zach]

I've been wanting a Man with No Name for years.

 

[Data West]

No Dungeon of Doom figure pack either.

No wonder this company is in shambles.

 

[Heel]

Take the four pack to customer service, complaining that there's no Paul Roma. Make a scene until they let you walk out with it for $24.99.

 

[FallingEdge]

I want to pick and choose the Horseman.

Arn, Sid, Luger, ******.

It's going to be awkward when the man working the service desk is Mr. Roma himself.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

The idea of Vader being some sort of pothead Bane that gets blazed out of his mind before every match is too good.

Report back. If you actually do it, I may follow suit. And we expect one of your fancy streams, but this time it'll be an action figure battle royale. Thanks in advance.

 

[bean breath]

I never knew Dusty Rhodes was a Fleetwood Mac fan.

 

[Zach]

Who isn't?

 

[bean breath]

Who isn't?

If I had to guess, I'd say Data West.

 

[Data West]

You'd be wrong, Bean.

[avengers23]

Ending up with Windham is sub-optimal, but at least it's not Tully.

 

[Zach]

Windham is sub-optimal.

Oh, avengers23.

Ending up with Windham is sub-optimal, but at least it's not Tully.

It would be weird to have two Tullys, yes.

 

[FallingEdge]

You'd be wrong, Bean.

worth it for mongo alone

Mongo never had a six pack.

[ANuclearError]

Christ, I remember as a kid having a VHS of the Great American Bash 1990 (One of the 3 wrestling VHS I lived on as a kid) and Vader's look with that helmet thing was outstanding, and his theme was great too.

Think his match was just a basic squash though.

 

[bean breath]

You'd be wrong, Bean.

You surprised me, I was expecting your hipster a** to post some early Peter Green stuff:

Wait, fuck me. I meant Ole. Nobody wants Ole.

 

[Jeevesmeister]

Fleetwood Mac is the greatest band to have ever existed.

If I may make a suggestion for Wrasslegaf viewing night,

Starring one Debra Marshall.

"Vader tells us a wrestler's legit height and weight" segment would be money.
