goc Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Oh, and the fact that the Last Battle for Atlanta was never filmed is a grievance I simply can't and won't forgive. Very compelling argument. Not forward thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimmas Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Each person should make a mission statement. Maybe I will change my vote. I went with Paul Jones due to knowledge and the Flair situation. I've seen the future where Flair becomes NWA Champion and the title is held hostage in the Carolinas. I do not like that future.

Beast Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 As solely an owner and not booker, that allows me to step outside focusing solely on JCP and work to ensure that every NWA member's territory continues to grow and make money. If Flair became champ, what would be the point of not sharing him with the rest of the group? JCP knows that if any shenanigans went down, it would completely devalue the title anyway. And again, I'm open to other champions, especially if that's the majority opinion. I want to ensure that everything NWA-related goes down as fair and is transparent for all members. In worst case scenarios, I'm prepared to act as a mediator to settle tempers between territories that aren't getting along as it pertains to scheduling, booking, talent, etc...

KrisZ Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 While I know the inner workings of how the NWA was run especially regarding the booking of the champion plus again I have the national TV outlet to spotlight every major star of the NWA.

You don't need to be President to spotlight stars of the NWA. You should do that regardless as a proud NWA member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrisZ Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Yeah but GCW did it more than anyone else in that era because of their TV penetration.....hell future world champs had to have a TBS cache before becoming champ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodhelmet Posted June 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 How do you address the concerns that your cable TV may screw up potential long term goals of the territories by presenting local heroes as heels and local villains as babyfaces on the screen? Your attempt to showcase everyone from the NWA could be the downfall to all of the territories that thrive on local market television? Also, Mr. Crockett is presenting a supershow the likes that has never been seen before. He has already sent memos about this new endeavor called closed circuit television that will allow people to pay for the big show at the arena AND at home... progressive beyond measure. In response, Georgia would refuse fans this.... No wonder Tommy Rich left the territory!!! You left money on the table!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Upon further review, that evidence is inadmissible based upon the fact that the Battle of Atlanta takes place after July, 1st 1983. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawho5 Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 It seems like we should give Fred Ward the benefit of the doubt on the Battle of Atlanta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrisZ Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Tommy Rich is working with me as part of a deal with Southeastern Championship Wrestling so it's all working out. Regarding the other territories stars they will be portrayed as they are there no side switching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dedhemingway Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Bob Geigel would like to remind the assembled that he guided the Alliance through a period of unprecedented growth, and the turbulent times of the dispersal draft. During that time, he has gained yet more national television time for the Alliance, and, as shown by Harley Race's unprecedented run of championships, has a track record of willingness to work for the best of the Alliance. You don't change horses in the middle of a race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrisZ Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 All I'm saying is that GCW needs to build the NWA up to Sam Muchnick levels after the signs of a potential downfall....... One thing that has been talked about is a special NWA 35th Anniversary Show on September 4th, 1983 where each territory will be able to spotlight talent on the show which will be broadcast LIVE on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 And in return I'd like to repeat that Jim Crockett Promotions has begun the preparations for a closed-circuit Thanksgiving show in which fans from all the over country will be able view their home territory's stars on a previously unheralded supercard. Currently five NWA promotions have thrown their hat into the ring to provide talent, but Crockett again welcomes all dues-paying members to join in as we kick open the door to the future.

dawho5 Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 As a Canadian promoter I have very little interest in my talent being really over in the States. I would like to know what the three candidates positions are on Canada and a possible Canadian subdivision where the Canadian title and possibly a Canadian tag team title of some kind tour around. This is not to say that talent out of Quebec is unavailable to promoters in the U.S., just that there is little interest in how said talent is viewed by the fans there. That being said, we want our talent to enjoy success wherever they may go after they are done working for the International Wrestling Association. We understand the same is true of other promoters and can promise that all talent we host will be treated as if the International Wrestling Association were their home promotion. We expect that any talent we send abroad will be treated the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimmas Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Jack Tunney is willing to ship out the Canadian Champions to any Canadian promotion.He is also willing to be the President of the Canadian subdivision of the NWA to make sure the Americans don't screw Canada.

Beast Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 I'm fine with the Canadian promotions having their own subdivision that is still part of the NWA. Whether this includes talent exchanges and exposure in the USA is up to each promoter, but I personally am open to whatever best suits each promotor's needs. MLW is already involved in Starrcade (name subject to change), but Misters Tomko, Hart, and Rougeau are also invited if they are so inclined. Jim Crockett is prepared to offer talent for the Canadian supercard being held on 11/26. The goal is for every promotion to grow within its area, using the resources of the NWA as a whole. More importantly if any non-NWA affiliated promotion tried to infringe on our Canadian brethren, the NWA is there to supply talent and whatever else is necessary to win that war. And assuming the board supports it, Mr. Crockett is a backer of Mr. Tunney being the NWA promotor of midget wrestling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
