yeah I tried to get back into it after their crazy idea of pulling it off youtube and it's just not the same.

I’m surprised they are still using the name “Crockett Cup” in 2022. Call it the “Twitch Cup” or something if the goal is to attract new and younger audience members.

I thought things got better once the Preshow ended and the PPV actually started. Even more so than already before, I would like to have Doug Williams signed to the game as I liked last night's Commonwealth Connection tag team of him and Davey Boy Smith Jr.
Tonight's lineup:
*NWA Champion Matt Cardona vs. Nick Aldis with Jeff Jarrett as the guest referee.
*Winner to be named new NWA Junior Heavyweight Champion: Austin Aries vs. Homicide vs. Darius Lockhart vs. Colby Corino.
*NWA Women’s Champion Kamille vs. Kylie Rae vs. Chelsea Green.
*NWA Women’s Tag Team Champions The Hex (Allysin Kay and Marti Belle) vs. Pretty Empowered (Ella Envy and Kenzie Paige)
*NWA TV Champion Tyrus (with Austin Idol) vs. Rodney Mack.
*NWA National Champion Anthony Mayweather vs. Jax Dane.
*2022 Crockett Cup Tag Team Tournament Finals with: The Briscoes (2), La Rebellion (1), The Cardonas (11) and Doug Williams & Harry Smith (4)

Another possible reason to have a first round match on the pre show is just the time needed to run all those matches. But then the last match ended at 10:30 and they talked for another 30 minutes, mostly with Billy Corgan. I guess I wasn't paying much attention early as I never heard the talk about who won the 4 way or saw the graphic giving it away.

I guess I wasn't paying much attention early as I never heard the talk about who won the 4 way or saw the graphic giving it away. Well I really don't have a problem with doing a First Round match on the Preshow. I was just a little surprised at the time (before realizing the Quarter-Finals were also happening last night which meant the Briscoes still had another match last night) that the Briscoes match was the one being given away for free since they are the biggest tag team in the tournament. Ty, I am glad you did not hear or see that major error on the Preshow so at least things were not spoiled for my friend. I wish I missed it too. But, yeah, I just checked which I why I know the times and quote I am about to mention and on the Preshow which is still available on Fite, at 4:33 they showed the graphic for the 4-Way qualifying matchup involving Violence is Forever (who Joe Galli started to identify as Violence is Free,) the Heatseekers, the Bad News Boyz, and the Rip City Shooters. And then just 2 minutes later at 6:46 they showed the graphic revealing that the Bad News Boyz would be the First Round opponents for La Rebelion with Joe Galli even saying "The Bad News Boyz are going to be taking on La Rebelion" before they even had the 4-way qualifying match to determine the first-round opponents for La Rebelion. It was outright sloppy. I did some work I had to do for Monday ahead of time yesterday to make sure I could watch the Preshow as I was looking forward to that match and hoping that either Violence is Forever or Rip City Shooters would win. So I was a little surprised and irritated when the winner was actually announced in advance of the match itself. But once they got past that Preshow debacle, I did enjoy watching the First Night of the Crockett Cup. I am looking forward to Night 2, although apparently not as forward as Joe Galli who last night in the final minutes of the show told Billy Corgan "I won't be able to sleep."

Isnt the NWA's whole gimmick about history and tradition? If so I think Crockett Cup makes sense. That is if its about playing to the old school fans and not neccaussarily trying to get new younger fans.

Yeah Corgan is always talking about the history of the NWA and everything around it. So they have the old school belts and I like keeping the Crockett Cup name going.

Tonight's Preshow is much better than yesterday's Prshow IMO.
I like the Team War matches which the NWA has been doing recently and I think it is a good way to get some of the wrestlers eliminated from the tournament a match for tonight. When I get back to my Indy feds, in my VWA fed, I plan to have some Team War matches.

Was there ever three guys in the ring at once? They said it's to be a triple threat.

Was there ever three guys in the ring at once? They said it's to be a triple threat. It was supposed to be one member from all 3 teams in the ring at once and then an eliminated wrestler gets replaced by another member of their team until all the members of two of the teams have been eliminated. But I mostly just saw two wrestlers in the ring at once in that match.
