This match got them more pub than the NWA World title switch hours earlier on what will end up being the second biggest show in the world this year.
Also, i'm not going to sit here and try to sell people on modern NWA, but the new regime has made honest efforts to clean up the brand. They've made an effort to book well known professional champions who are willing to travel as opposed to allowing mark promoters (and wrestlers) to buy title reigns, they've kicked out the dirty promoters from the alliance instead of simply collecting fees from whoever is willing to pay, and they've got a decent little deal going with New Japan.
NWA jokes have gotten to be like Saturday Night Live jokes. Both are well past their peak, but most of the people who go out of their way to make cracks aren't even paying attention and usually have no clue what's going on. It's just shit people say at this point.
Well, what is going on then? It's easy crack jokes at it the NWA is as visible as, well not much. But if you know otherwise then educate us on it. I'd be interested.
