A logical hookup would be Flo Slam
A really good match with a great post match
I sub to NWA Smoky Mountain Wrestling who has their weekly show on Youtube.

I am... this is the most curious I've been in an Okada match, mostly because I want him to win for a change and don't even doubt for a second that he will
I'm glad he's out of that terrible angle with Aron Rex. I haven't seen much Impact but Spud seems pretty talented on the mic.
KO beat his ass so hard his chyron nameplate should go back to the NXT one.

Twitch would be awesome
I'd go on a free platform like Youtube regardless of ad income because right now you want to raise awareness for the NWA and the talent you have. That's the best way to do it really.

Spud is Impact's Heath Slater he can job to anyone and make it entertaining...
I'd do weekly best ofs and try to get with FloSlam for biggger shows and if you can get the eyes onto Flo SLam you can run weekly shows through them, god knows FloSlam needs more companies

I want to add that to my post. The reason why it won't work is because Twitch is mostly for gaming streams. However, if it's parent company, Amazon would negotiate Corgan for the NWA to be streamed on their platform, it could work.
In regards to the bolded, that something that could happen to the GWF.

Any streaming Internet video platform is a bad idea if you actually want to make real money from that streaming. After all, it's not like Lucha Underground being on Netflix has led to any large jump in interest in the product, despite its fans acting like it'd lead to the promised land for them.

They could easily go under creative without negotiating.

Urban, you say...
True, but whoever runs Twitch isn't going to exactly welcome the WNA with open arms. That person will now that streaming wrestling on a major game streaming platform isn't going to be good for them.

It could get real popular and be big on twitch. Only twitch could have made Bob Ross that popular.

Bob Ross was already a huge cultural thing in the US.
How? What stars will be on there? Sorry, but a bunch of generic indy guys doing generic indy things isn't going to get an audience. And even if it does, that means nothing if it doesn't lead to people paying this new NWA for something, whether it's ticket, merch, PPV's, or whatever.
You just can't throw wrestling up somewhere and expect people to watch. I mean, if Twitch was somehow showing old Monday Night RAW's, I could get it, because of the nostalgia thing.

I don't doubt you, all I'm saying is Corgan had better do a great job in convincing them to do so. Even if it does happen, there will be a huge meltdown of streamers who'll cry out "Get that fake sport out of my community."
I'd actually like to see this happen now.

They could go all Southpaw regional wrestling. Smart writing. It'd become memey for twitch.
JesseEwiak

How does that lead to drawing money? Being meme-y and getting Internet hits is fine if you're the weird comedy thing some guys did on their off time in the WWE and it sells a few t-shirts.
It's not if you're a wrestling promotion wanting to be the #2 promotion long term.

Popular broadcasters could go on the show live and get involved.

Yeah like people need to realize the NWA doesn't even have access to the big indie stars: ZSJ doesn't do NWA shows, Evolve guys don't do NWA shows. If NXT/Impact/ROH are say Triple A Baseball, Evolve and shit like that Double A baseball, NWA is at very best Single A and I'm not even sure they're that.

Like the current NWA champion is a 52 year old man whose wikipedia is literally a single paragraph bio and then his movelist and championships list (almost all are NWA titles)
Like no one is going to give a fuck about Tim Storm...
Corgan is going to have to completely reshuffle everything and find a way to get the ZSJs, the Keith Lees, etc.... Because right now he bought a name

Can the NWA finally replace their world title belt now?

They could just be funny Southpaw characters. They don't need to be serious wrasslers.

That would literally be the one thing I wouldn't change
I go to a local NWA chapter that puts Southpaw to shame.

The good thing about twitch is it makes stars if you have a good personality.
New GTAV Roleplay streamers are blowing up. All they do is improv a character with a good voice and make a living.
Pmsproxy went from 300 subs to 2,300 in 1 month.
She raised 20k for sheriffeli who is going to start streaming.

That would be the first thing I would change... that belt represents everything the NWA is today.
...which isn't a good thing.
Not saying change it to the gaudiness of the WWE belts, just at least update it.

Well if Amazon parterned with them for some funding, they created new characters, and popular streamers went on the show, it'd blow up. Guarantee it.

Eh it more represents the only link to when the NWA meant anything.
Why would Amazon partner with a company with absolutely no talent behind it...
He's going to have to do a lot of work getting real talent in first, or hope someone is a moron enough to give him money because he used to matter in the 90s

It wouldnt surprise me if he is doing it all for funsies or whatever to be honest.
That's kinda what NWA is all about really, family fun on a Saturday night.

I mean if all he wants to do is keep running what's running he'll be fine... if he hopes to basically make a rival to Impact or even ROH lol good luck

Lol Evolve 85 runs at the exact same time as Backlash.... why would you do that if you're live streaming your shows on FloSlam...
Card looks better than Backlash could be to be honest. Cobb vs Riddle and Sabre vs Rush
excelsiorlef
Member
Yeah but still... I'll watch Backlash live because that'll be more lively for discussion here
I mean all Evolve Cards are basically better than WWE in terms of matches
Smackdown could put together a better card.....could. Instead we get Orton vs Mahal and Nakamura vs Ziggler
