As I've said a thousand times, Bruce Tharpe could win the NWA World Heavyweight Title and you'd have DKM, Shawn and Dody on this forum defending it and talking about what a great decision it was because it's Tharpe's brand and he can do what he likes with it.
Him saying "Yeah so?" to the comment about the NWA being owned by an individual really proves that he will accept anything. The reason is because Bruce Tharpe re-posts DKM's stuff on Facebook which I guess makes DKM think that they're friends or whatever.
Regardless, I'd rather the admins be impartial like Jaden and Jay compared to DKM who flips out anytime his boy is poked fun at.

Stories are starting to come back to me. I remember my former "partner" being upset because NJPW didn't like an idea he pitched. If I remember correctly, it was during the feuds with Kojima and Tenzan. Yes, you guessed it, he wanted to wrestle. His idea was a tag team match of sorts that included him.

Not sure why anyone besides one person in mind would think this is a great idea. It's an insult not only to the fans, but to the trained workers in the locker room on that potential card.

Does you former partner have formal training? ALso I heard that Japanese style is pretty stiff. So if he got in the ring who's to say that someone decides to teach him a lesson and mop him around.

I know he "wrestled" in Mexico under a mask....I think he wrestled without a mask too. "Formal training"? No clue. He's an awkward individual, so I doubt he had any kind of athletic ability. The match he proposed, of course wouldn't be a real match, it would have been a gimmick match. I don't know if he actually proposed it to the booker, etc....but I know he was talking to Koji and/or Tenzan about wanting to do it.

Should stick to role playing or getting a WWE video game and creating his own character he can control instead of insulting the business.

I don't really want to speak out with any ill towards anyone and we moved on on our own accord but to say the alliance is one person and thats ok is a bit wrong DKM. It's not a mater of right or wrong, it's the reality. It's most wrestling promotions.

I seriously doubt he could figure out how to get the game started.....and yes....I'm sure every mark who plays video games has a character of himself.

Most good companies have multiple people to promote and make money from with the owner rarely getting involved. Imb4 Vince McMahon does it, Tharpe is no Vince

You know your job is to get the wrestlers or events over.....you don't use them to get yourself over. I've never met a bigger mark than my former "partner"....nope....not even me.

For me it's about building a business and that's why I have assembled a team. Going back to the alliance, like I said I do think it's wrong plus comparing it to a promotion is wrong also, the way the alliance is or is meant to be structured is about a collective of promoters working together to grow their promotions under the umbrella of the NWA, or something along those lines. :-)

As I've said before, the brand is an individual now. Yes, it is. So what? This is important, because the brand was supposed to be about (as Fight Nation stated in their post) an ALLIANCE of promoters working on a common goal. So when you say "So what?" to the statement that the brand is now an individual, it's a denial of what had worked so well in the past. Obviously the business model has changed, but is it really being presented to the licensees as being different from what the NWA was in the past? Looking at the level of cooperation among promoters in the heyday of the NWA, one would have to think that it contributed to its success. I think Fred can tell you how skeptical I was when the "takeover" took place, and the NWA went from having members to having licensees. You no longer had a say, you essentially were allowed to use the name & logo, which came with substantial responsibility. But, you had no say, other than with regard to your own promotion... Some feel the idea of the alliance is dead. What's funny about that is that I've seen promotions in my area begin to talk with other promoters about pooling resources/talent/knowledge. Last I looked, that is exactly what made the NWA great.

So when you say "So what?" to the statement that the brand is now an individual, it's a denial of what had worked so well in the past. Worked so well? Like a nation TV show on Colors that lasted 13 episodes and then when they came back for new back was found ran 13 episodes again before disappearing? Like how several of the partners didn't even promote anymore, some weren't even in the business anymore, and most of those who did wouldn't book the company titles unless they got to control them. Like when after Howard Brody was forced out the first time, each year there was a new coup each year for president? (Including forcing out Ernie Ladd) Or maybe you mean when they brought in Trobich after Ladd because they were not capable of running the company, is that it? Was it the two different times the company was actually dissolved by the state of North(?) Carolina because the annual paper work wasn't filed for 3 straight years? Maybe it was giving the Sheik control over the world heavyweight, world junior heavyweight, and world tag team titles? When I say "So what" what I am saying is it doesn't matter if I like it or I don't like it, it is the reality that I have to accept.
