Infuriated.
- Bruce Tharpe made three appearances on the NWA super show despite Jim Cornette being given power for the night. He wasn't needed, nobody needs him to be out there thanking them for turning up that's the local promoters job. If Tharpe wants to turn up, fine. He doesn't need to be on the show and to be frank neither does James Beard. NOBODY CARES, NOBODY bought a ticket to see Bruce Tharpe. Why doesn't he understand this? NOBODY CARES! NOBODY!
Jim Cornette in story line had control of the territory for the night. Bruce can't have the spot light off him even for Jim Cornette.
- Nit picking but why is the social media page hanging off Tharpe's nut sack? "Bruce Tharpe has sent a message out" and the message is childish bullshit aimed at comments that some troll made on this board ONE time. Also, when Shelton Benjamin does a run-in why must we promote Bruce Tharpe? What freakin' involvement does he have in a World Title match and a moment between two former WWE superstars?
Also, every post promoting the parade implies that Tharpe is involved in promoting it but wasn't it the local promoter who put everything together? Give HIM the press, he did the hard yards all Tharpe did was post things on social media and turn up.
- Possibly the most infuriating part of all is you have this promoter who could have done a show of any genre. He could have done legends, he could have done a ROH style show (His champion is the tag champ and he uses the former ROH Tag Team Champion), he could have done a show with 6-8 former WWE guys and done an IHWE Supershow but instead he believes in the NWA and Tharpe's vision (God knows why) and decides on an NWA Supershow, great, I like this, it's a risk because the NWA champions are not draws but I guess you rely on your "name" talent to draw the crowd.
This is a huge show, it's being released on Blu Ray and DVD allegedly so why not give ONE guy the rub? Common sense says that to show appreciation to this dude you put the belt on Haas. Even if you don't see him as a long term option you still do the change on the big show, set up a rematch two months down the track and then change it back.
Does this man know ANYTHING?

Cornette was advertised as the MC for the night, not the GM. Bruce's primary purpose was to present the NWA Hall of Fame induction for the late Gary Hart, he stayed out of the other two that Fuller did for his Hall of Fame. He made three appearances but only spoke twice.
All the reviews I'm reading are praising the show, so why are people who weren't there complaining about nit picky stuff?

Saw a couple of reviews on Twitter from notable show goers. One wrote he hated wrestling after it and blocked the NWA's Twitter page. Seen mixed reviews. With 100,000 people in town for wrestling getting 0.4% to turn up I guess can be considered a success. The production looked terrible though from every picture I see. Owens and Kincaid supposedly was awesome.

Sure, you can find every opinion under the sun on the Internet. You can even find people that like TNA.

That's true!like I said mixed reviews but hardly talked about, has the event left any lasting impression on the wrestling landscape. Probably not. Tharpe got to play president in front of a crowd. The local promoter did their job of bringing a crowd but by god the lighting and production looked cheap ass budget. Loved Tharpe's Post Polejump put up, definitely something a man leading a company should be saying.

The lighting was excellent, as should be since it was the theatre's. Not sure what you mean on production. Impact? It probably will have the same as every other non WWE show this weekend.

The ring lighting was excellent? Shadows and dark spots aren't excellent lighting in wrestling. A good example of what you want to see, blind loyalty DKM isn't great. Once again, mixed reviews (some good some bad) The set looked cheap. The lights weren't great. Pictures prove that.

In fairness, it wasn't a "TeeVee" taping....the lighting was adequate for a house show. Also, lets give credit where it's due, Fuller worked his ass off to have a nice set up. He "invested" a lot of money in signage alone. There are things that can be criticized...but I don't think the set up and lighting are those things.
My favorite part of the night is the Prez recognizing the "naysayers" who said it couldn't be done. What a message to send to the 300+ in attendance. "Yes fans, they expected us to fail.....but." First of all, you achieved nothing other than getting the promoter to pay you a licensing fee and put you (the brand) over. The promoter got 350ish people in the building in Wrestlemania city. But...."we did it!"

I had only been running as "Lone Star Championship Wrestling" for about 6 months when I did the autism benefit. People came to see Duggan, Colt, Dreamer, Hoyt, etc. The brand got the rub....so there was a win there...but the brand wasn't the draw. Same thing happened last night....although Fuller's promotion didn't get the rub. He gave that away.

Last night was successful for one reason, David Fuller is a fan of professional wrestling that shared his dream with other fans. Being nit picky over little things that the people there didn't give a rats ass about, or worrying about Bruce taking credit or David giving it away is is just being an ass or a hater or whatever you want to call it, what an insult to Mr. Fuller and his efforts.
I'm going to enjoy the memories of my son and I spending the day together listening to the R rated language of Jim Cornette, meeting some legends like Cornette, Bill Apter and Bark Bart, finally seeing the national belt and Women's belt (and it is small, also for an update on the new belts see the thread in the belt gallery), and pretty dag-gum good show on top of that.

Been going to shows for 33 years, but yeah I don't know what is good or bad. Found dozens of good reviews of the show, including the one my Mike Johnson of PwInsider and couple bad or mixed, but reviews are "mixed". I was there, you've seen pictures probably from cell phones. I have "blind loyalty" and I guess you have a blind spot.

Not putting the show down it seemed to have some great matches according to the live results I was following and I thought the set up looked pretty decent for an independent show.
It's just too much Bruce Tharpe, four different segments in one show is too much and I guarantee it would have been more if Cornette wasn't there. Also, I would have given the local promoter a big moment by having his guy win the NWA World Title but I guess Jax Dane holding the belt for another few months and continuing to bore the people who follow the NWA is more worthwhile.
