spaldoni Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 Zero Fighters get the big win, but it seems a mysterious individual has an interest in the Blasters. Great promos from both Jones and Whatley. This will be a fun feud, especially with Valiant involved. Stud Stable have a pretty firm grip on the 6 man titles. Baby Doll has Badd Co. looking good. Hopefully they make a run at the titles soon. Oh no! Sullivan has arrived and has already put together a horrifying stable. Worldwide, Wright, Eliminators and Pitbull get in some nice showcases. Uncle Ivan can still get the job done, just ask Perez. I really think Kevin Von Erich is going to light the NWA up. High stakes at Battlebowl.

LowBlowPodcast Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 the Golden Warrior is a great moniker for KVE. He has something left in the tank and I think he'll leave it all here in the NWA. BattleBowl is coming back... winner gets a shot at the Bash... gonna be some big stuff to kick off the summer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmcfl Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 Awesome shows! -I really liked the Shaska Whatley turn. I think he is even better as a babyface then a heel. -Abbie and Sullivan are going to be fun. -Valiant as one of the top babyfaces is fun no matter what age he is. The war with Paul Jones is great Mid-Atlantic/NWA wrestling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autistic Dragon Posted May 7 Author Report Share Posted May 7 Kevin Von Erich. This week we hear pre recorded comments from Von Erich. He puts over how much the wrestling business means to his family and promises to bring a fight the size of Texas when he debuts next week! Kevin Sullivan. After Abdullah and the Master Blasters basically murdered three unlucky bastards on TV, the three monsters gathered alongside Sullivan and a terrified Sean Mooney. Sounding like a demented preacher, Sullivan spoke of a "spark of darkness buried deep within the heart of the National Wrestling Alliance. Like a siren's song, it summons to it those who's hearts are filled with only the purest strain of evil." The Master felt this call to the core of his being and has commanded Sullivan to take mastery over it. He brought Abdullah "the human embodiment of destruction" and was pleased to have found two "warriors from the Wasteland" already causing havoc. Prepare thyselves NWA for The Dark Crusade has begun! NWA World Junior Heavyweight Title. After a long journey around the world the Junior Heavyweight Title is returning to the NWA proper. We see footage of Lucha sensation Silver King recently winning the championship in Mexico City. We're told the new champion will be bringing the title to NWA TV in the very near future. The war against the Paul Jones Army. Jimmy Valiant and Shaska Whatley brought their reunited teamwork against a young team that has been slowly but surely earning respect among their peers, The Eliminators. Paul Jones joined commentary and continuesly derailed Solie's calling of the match by raging against the fan favorites. After a game effort by their opponents, Valiant & Whatley managed to secure the W to Jones' clear ire. Curiously despite his displeasure he took the time to hand Saturn a card before he left.

spaldoni Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 Kevin Von Erich is going to rock the NWA!! This is Sullivan at his best. His monsters are going to terrorize the NWA. Very cool seeing the Jr. title coming to the NWA. Silver King is a great choice to bring the belt in. Smart move by Jones. Picking up a strong young team like the Eliminators will add more muscle to the Army. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spaldoni Posted yesterday at 10:07 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 10:07 PM Kevin Von Erich makes his anticipated debut and gains immediate credibility by beating Anderson with the claw. Can't wait to see how Christopher welcomes Silver King. Always cool seeing NWA vets like Rich, Race and Ole get TV time and wins. Manny might have his eye on Fuller's title. Solid showcases on Worldwide. JJ is still earning his money as the Horsemen's manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
