SNME 254 – NWA: Now Without Aldis, The Wrestling News’ Mike Sempervive, Meltzer on Austin, Corgan/Aldis, Tyrus, Lance Von Erich and more!

THE NWA: WE’RE TALKING ABOUT IT, BUT FOR THE WRONG REASONS

As we were airing our interview with 2x former NWA World’s Heavyweight Champion, Nick Aldis last week, he started a small fire on the internet.  Since then, He has been suspended from the company he helped resurrect.  NWA Owner Billy Corgan and he have sounded off on two different radio shows to give their sides of the story, and oh yeah… the NWA also had a Pay-Per-View this weekend.

MELTZER: PWG, ALDIS/CORGAN IN-DEPTH, MJF’S CHARACTER IN ‘THE IRON CLAW’ AND MORE…

After heading to Los Angeles to attend a PWG show, Dave shares that experience a bit, all while delving into the stories from the past couple of weeks. Topics discussed include:

– Tyrus as NWA Champion

– The Nick Aldis/Billy Corgan fallout

– Logan Paul: Future WWE Champion?

– The REAL star of Judgment Day

– Rey Mysterio Injury/SmackDown World Cup

– Who is Lance Von Erich – the “Non-Erich” that will be played by MJF?

– Steve Austin at WrestleMania – AGAIN?  Cena? Punk? Who could it be?

JUST THE FACTS: 

That is the struggle for some wrestling reporters over others.  In an entertainment stream that seems to lend itself to rumor mongering more than any other, well known Wrestling broadcaster, Mike Sempervive seems to have found a formula for presenting a quick, digestible daily newscast focused on international wrestling happenings.  Hear about how “The Wrestling News” came to be, and what it’s like to have associations with different sides of the internet wrestling community, including The Wrestling Observer and Jim Cornette!

Listen as Sempervive and Mike McGuire talk a little about what it’s like trying to stay unbiased in the hyper-reactive world of pro wrestling these days.  The full interview will be up for Patrons later this week!
