@@RobertGundlachMusic he destroyed every single one of his competitors. He took all of the believability completely out of it. It is not something you could be a fan of as an adult knowing that is was cartoonized. The NWA was more adult oriented, they realized they wanted you as a fan for life, not just childhood, their story lines and their actions tried to make you think it was real and believable. That is gone now and will never return. Those horrible offensive skits they did and the kiss my ass club made wrestling a joke and i will always see it that way, I'm sorry.
