Josh Alexander is the most hype I've been for an Indy prime card. He's my favorite guy on television right now and I'm really pumped to have him.

Just curious if there will be any email PDF bios to go with Q4 PP and Eric Young.

Tyrus has been appearing on FOX News since 2016. If he were capable of bringing in and more importantly *retaining* new viewers, then there should be some hard evidence of that by now. Maybe there is evidence of that and that is part of the reasoning behind putting the title on him. I mean, presumably none of us has concrete numbers for NWA. Or maybe Corgan just really likes the guy. Or he just seemed like the right guy for the job when Aldis needed to leave. Maybe he's going to be a transitional champ. So many are acting like this is the downfall of the NWA and most are simply doing it because they don't like that he appears on Fox News.

I do know the NWA just announced a move from the Fite.TV paywall back to free airings on Youtube, an indication that re-airings of 1988 test patterns are probably drawing in more paid subscriptions than what the NWA was getting. "Concrete"? It's the next best thing in my book. There was a time in high school where I believed Billy Corgan was the greatest living musical and lyrical genius in the world. As an adult, I saw him get swindled and conned by Dixie Carter into bankrolling a wrestling promotion. As an intelligent wrestling promoter, he was a hell of an alt-rock musician and he's not really even that anymore. Also, let me be real clear personally: I don't like Tyrus because he's a fat talentless turd whose next good match will be his first, and who incidentally is also a serial harrasser. The other stuff is secondary to that.

The other stuff is secondary to that. You're certainly welcome to like or dislike anyone you like and for whatever reason you like. And Tyrus is by no means my favorite wrestler. I just find the whole thing funny that so many people are very clearly basing their opinions of him on his political leanings. Whether that's you or not, my comments are a lot broader than that. I would also say that, if NWA is looking to use him to bring new casual viewers, having their shows behind a paywall of any kind isn't the best idea. I love wrestling and the NWA but I don't subscribe to any wrestling streaming service. There's no way a casual Fox News fan is going to pay to check him out. NWA is clearly not killing it though but my overall point is I just think we can all just chill out a bit on who they've put the belt on. Title runs are temporary. There's no harm in them trying something out here. There were a lot of people who initially crapped on them for putting the belt on Aldis and I think he did pretty dang well.

Furthermore, I used the hell out of Harker Dirge and and other odd cards.
I hate Tyrus as a wrestler and don't care for Fox News, but I wouldn't pass up his card.
