Guest ShooterJay Report post Posted August 29, 2002 Something that's been bothering me for the last bunch of TNA shows is that for some odd reason, they won't acknowledge the CZW histories of their talent. They'll mention WCW, WWF, ECW, Ring of Honor, Japan, Puerto Rican, and England histories freely, but never Combat Zone. This is pretty odd, since the SAT, Red, the Briscoes, and the Backseat Boyz are all current and former CZW competitors who have competed in TNA. It's not that bad in the case of Red and the SAT, who left CZW a while ago and are primarily Ring of Honor guys outside of NWATNA, but for a team like the Backseat Boyz, who made their biggest name and compete primarily in Combat Zone, it's pretty inexcusable. I'm just wondering what the reason for this snubbing is, is it because an organization with as much "tradition" as the NWA doesn't want to be even tangentially associated with a "garbage" fed? (To be fair, they are straying away from the junior stuff that gave them a smark following and going back to the ultraviolence, probably because they lost a lot of their junior talent to ROH.)

Guest J*ingus Report post Posted August 29, 2002 It probably has something to do with their garbagey stuff, sure. But it's more likely that they're not mentioning them simply because they're not in any way affiliated with the NWA organization, unlike most of the other feds you mentioned.

Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted August 29, 2002 I wasn't suprised that they didn't mention CZW....they were all over ROH's cock a few shows back... CZW's the best indy going really...they've had the most solid storylines for almost 2 years now. AND the best cruiserweight talent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest the 1inch punch Report post Posted August 30, 2002 WCW never acknowledged ECW Same Logic, if theres a promtion out there thats better than you and you can ignore it, do so Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vyce Report post Posted August 30, 2002 Oooooh. Please don't tell me you're saying CZW is better than NWA. I mean, Jesus. Yes, the NWA has the Dupps. But YOU have Lobo. And Zandig. And Wifebeater. And Z-Bar. And Ultraviolent Towel Boy. Need I continue? I wouldn't mention them either. Worthless garbage fed, which occasionally does something worthwhile when they actually push the cruizers.....which is infrequent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
