I used to be a big time wrestling fan and it did not matter what kind of wrestling it was or what wrestling promotion NWA, WWF, AWA, WCCW, I loved it all. As a kid back in the 80's I could get up about 8:00 in the morning to catch the first show and catch the last show at 12:00 at night, And my number one promotion was the NWA and me being from the northeast I had to argue with a lot of WWF fans who was the best but all in all it was live and let live or at lease I thought. But Vince McMahon decided that he would take his WWF to all territories witch caused other promotions to fold or sell or try to compete, The AWA folded the Crocketts and the NWA tried to compete but because of some bad business decisions and Wrestle Mania the Crocketts felt that they had to sell and they sold the promotion to Ted Turner and he changed the name to WCW. I gave all my support to WCW all the way up to the mid 90's but some how I lost my love for wrestling and I didn't know why and at that time Monday nite wars was big the Attitude era had arrived. And for the next ten years I didn't watch wrestling did care that McMahon had bought WCW and ECW, Well a few months ago I bought a replica NWA Championship Belt the Dome Globe aka 10LBS of Gold and it got me to watching a little bit of wrestling and what a lot of wrestling fans had been saying I found to be true the WWE/WWF sucks to me they are still the best but not by much TNA is right on there heels McMahon bought his competition witch is good for him not for the fans you know what they say competition breeds innovation well right now there is no innovation. Well Ive been watching some NWA on Youtube and Its good to see that they still exist and I think they are starting to grow plus Ive been watching some ROH witch I think is very good maybe one day someone with deep pockets will help these two companies out and put them on tv and bring innovation back to wrestling.
