Seeing Thunder Rosa showed up on Dynamite and is putting her belt on the line versus Shida, when does Nick Aldis show up with Kamille? Would love for him to be the fourth in a FTR, Hangman, Tully, Aldis and Kamille Four Horsemen type faction.
Also when do Storm and Drake show up lol. Would love them in AEW.

Well seeing that so far we have seen a few NWA talent show up and seemingly be signed to AEW now, it really does seem like the NWA is either definitely dying once again, or if not then the NWA needs to bring in new talent once they get up and running again.
I always was though that NWA had a working agreement with ROH. But if they do have a working agreement with AEW that only benefits the NWA in this matter. AEW doesn't need to bring in the NWA, but knowing Cody and how much of a mark he is to wanna be his dad (even though he is being more like Jeff Jarrett) then I can see him wanting the NWA name involved with AEW so the NWA name can be on TNT too.

Ok first things first, do NOT tease me with Aldis/FTR/Hangman because holy crap do I need that right effing now  !! But my actual answer is I think we can expect a partnership of sorts. Originally the idea was to partner with AAA and OEW (That chinese promotion Stronghearts were representing). The AAA didn't really last too well, Konnan basically said AEW kinda bit off more than they could chew at the start and weren't really ready for it. (He wasn't upset, really he was kinda sympathetic towards it). OEW shut down completely. Given that AAA now partners with MLW and the obvious border issues with said partnership at all right now, I think it's a pretty safe bet that AEW can kinda start something up with NWA. NWA/ROH have a partnership too, but before Scurll had to go on a temporary to permannt hiatus (Jury still out on him it seems), it seemed likely that ROH was going to kind of work with them too. That was Marty's goal at least. Corgan has said the NWA is definitely not shutting down. No idea when they're starting production again but they aren't ending. I actually think there is some real benefit to AEW to have that partnership too. NWA has some serious talent with Rosa, Aldis, Eli, Storm, among others. They actually have a really good women's division too for the size of their company. The name NWA still carries a lot of nostalgia and weight in the wrestling world, even if it's modern versions aren't at the same level as the past versions. I could see it being a mutually beneficial partnership personally. |

I'm not big on Aldis or most of NWA's roster.
It would be funny to see all the people thirsty for an AEW/NJPW or AEW/RoH feud get AEW/NWA.

The name NWA still carries a lot of nostalgia and weight in the wrestling world, even if it's modern versions aren't at the same level as the past versions. I could see it being a mutually beneficial partnership personally. Totally agree with everything you wrote. I think AEW would ultimately like to have a network of affiliate promotions internationally; it's just a matter of when given that they started a company from scratch and had to build/establish their own talent. I think Cody's open challenge was the first indication that they're ready to expand those walls a bit. I also see it as absolutely beneficial for AEW. They can bring talent in as one-offs (ala Cobb) or short runs that gives their core fanbase fresh matchups and maybe even the occasional dream match. It also gives an aura of unpredictability or spontaneity that really helps them stand out from modern day WWE. I'm not sure what that network looks like. It seems like just about everybody but Impact and NWA are already tied up in some sort of partnership internationally. But doing something with AEW would absolutely be trading up for NWA over ROH, and it adds an air of excitement and something fresh into AEW's programming. I'm interested to see where it goes. For me one of the best things about AEW is that I'm comfortable sitting back and just letting things play out instead of feeling the need to constantly Monday Morning Quarterback. Sometimes they hit a grand slam (The Elite storytelling), sometimes results are mixed (Dark Order) and sometimes they fail miserably (Nightmare Collective, Allie/Bunny). But it's still a nice feeling to have no idea where things are going, but some relative confidence that it's something that might be fun. |

Not meaning that in any kind of sarcastic way, but I dropped the product the second The Elite/Cody left aside from watching a couple of their PPV's. From what I've seen and read the product has been underwhelming, and they seem to have little to no buzz beyond Marty/PCO. In my eyes MLW and ROH are about on the same footing right now. I'm not a NJPW fan, so for me AEW/Impact is my #1 dream mashup, followed by NWA. But from a storytelling perspective, NWA is probably the most compelling. I'm absolutely a mark for wrestling history. |

I could see it being a mutually beneficial partnership personally. I called Eddie Kingston with Lucha Bros weeks ago, I’m trying to speak this new Horsemen group into existence. Believe! If AEW is starting a second program, an alliance with NWA would be a way to get fresh new talent for that show and some feuds. Honestly Corgan has to know he’s a long way off from running Power again, he should pitching NWA to takeover Dark and put the NWA titles on the line. Would generate a ton more views for Dark. |

Just give me some Zicky Dice! Last I knew zicky had asked for and received his NWA release I read this, too. I believe he & Ricky Starks are good friends & he asked Starks to put in a good word for him to the AEW offices. I'd love to see him bring the NWA TV title with him. And it would be awesome if AEW, NWA & ROH swapped talent from time to time. |

I'd prefer to not see Aldis in the horsemen role, but I'd love to see him and Karmille in AEW
as long as they don't sign James Storm. or Kennedy

NWA POWERRR becomes the second TNT show.
Dynamite & Powerrr are separate 'brands', ala Raw & Smackdown.
No? I'll show myself out.

I'm not a big fan of this. Why advertise another company. Build AEW.

The only thing I worry about with AEW working with NWA or for that matter any cross promoting of companies are how the actual matches are booked.With different companies working together you can get into the probably of neither wanting their talents to lose and then you end up with a mess and a lot of non finishes/DQ and other stuff that doesn't help out either company.
As long as theirs a set plan with AEW talents going over NWA talent and vice versa I am all for this,again just hate when one company makes the others look like jobbers or you have all the non finish to try and protect your talents from taking the loses.
bty if Aldis does come to AEW I would like him in their 4H stable with FTR and my pick over Page in Omega.With Aldis their this could leave Cody as a face to go up against them and be fitting for a Rhodes to feud with the stable again.

Aldis I can give or take, which is hard to say being British I'm naturally wired to favour our guys in a sport dominated by our brothers across the pond. However I'd pay Drake and Storm's AEW contract with my own money.
Drake, Storm and Christopher Daniels are my fave 3 to never sign with WWE and I need them in a mainstream wrestling company.
