Posted June 26, 201510 yr comment_5681270 Start listing them here and we'll have a poll down the road. So far... Harley Race Ric Flair
June 26, 201510 yr comment_5681342 O second Martel and also consider Greg the Hammer if we want heels.
June 26, 201510 yr Author comment_5681348 Ted DiBiase cannot be in consideration since he is under conract to a non NWA member. I am going to give three overlooked picks. Jerry Lawler from Memphis - Can work face or heel in multiple teerirories. Has plenty of experience in working long world title prpgrams. Promo ability and innovative mind will help programs draw at the gate. Kerry Von Erich - Fritz Von Erich is an esteemed member of the NWA, a good Christian and an honorable father... traits passed down to his All American sons. Kerry is by far the best talent in the ring and most adapt to the rigors of the road. With his good Christian upbringing, he should be able to navigate the pitfalls of the road and would be a benefit with no headaches to promoters across the country. Michael Hayes - I must disagree with Mr. Bill Watts who claims Hayes is little more than a mouthpiece for his T-birds group. He has proven he can draw money on a large scale in order to pop a territory and did it on a large scale in Mid South, Georgia and Texas. Hayes has already proven he can be an excellent heel but has rock star appeal for the up and coming Mtv generation. If the NWA is to survive, we must begin to appeal to the younger generation and the process should start now. Under the tutelage of Mr Watts and Mr Von Erich, their Christian American values are sure to have influenced Mr Hayes and i can't see where these unfounded rumors of being a rebel rouser and locker room disturbance are coming from.
June 26, 201510 yr comment_5681351 Conditions for Vince McMahon Sr's vote: - Must have excellent wrestling credentials, preferably with amateur background - Must not be a gimmick wrestler
June 26, 201510 yr comment_5681360 Is Memphis part of the NWA? If so Lawler is my second choice next to Martel.
June 26, 201510 yr comment_5681364 If Lawler becomes champion, the WWF will leave the NWA and cancel all dates on Andre. We will not recognise a gimmick world champion.
June 26, 201510 yr comment_5681365 If Lawler becomes champion, the WWF will leave the NWA and cancel all dates on Andre. We will not recognise a gimmick world champion. Jack Tunney fully supports Jerry Lawler and was withdrawn his support for Martel until 1984.
June 26, 201510 yr comment_5681370 That's not happening. I believe that the death of the territories is a bad thing.
June 26, 201510 yr comment_5681372 Although not in a place now, Southeastern would like Tommy Rich to be considered as a contender as the year turns. Tommy Rich will be the focal point of Southeastern Championship Wrestling going into 1984, as one of the top baby faces in the business his fire and desire will no doubt pop all areas across the NWA. For the time being Ron Fuller would like to give his support to Ric Flair, Jerry Lawler and Michael Hayes. Pretty boy faces such as Martell and Von Erich will to tough of time coming into Southeastern going up against the fan fare Tommy will receive in the coming months...
June 26, 201510 yr comment_5681373 I can't see any circumstance that Jerry Lawler becomes world champion in 1983.
June 26, 201510 yr Author comment_5681385 Both Baba and Inoki a r e proud members of the NWA and will support any world champion decisions made by the NWA. If we are to be successful as an industry, we must constantly be on the lookout for fresh, new stars and not operate under an antiquated paradigm.
