Well? No Comments?

A bit of editing would do WCCW well. Possibly a quick over view of what happened in the match, possibly? Maybe a back story of how/why these guys were chosen to fight for in the title tournaments?

That aside, a good little show. A bit more 'filler' would do it some justice.

Right, I have no idea what is going on here, who are the good guys, who are the bad guys, who actually any these guys are. I mean, I've heard of Chaz Taylor, but didn't even know he was still actively wrestling. The only guys I've ever heard of on your roster are Ryan Genesis and Scot Summers, which is surprising, as I do know more than a couple Texas based wrestlers off hand, but none of the ones you have chosen ring a bell. I'm actually really surprised you don't have Lance Archer on your roster, seeing as how he has had so much success in Japan, was in the WWE and TNA, and saying he's a big star in Texas would be an understatement. Hell, even Hunico, who is currently signed to the WWE, would be a good pick up and is from Texas.

Anyway, I also would like to know what makes these matches rank so highly. Was it the crowd reaction? I'd like some match story and a description that actually makes me care to look up these guys.

Also, if you want to up readership, it does help to book outside talent from time to time, just to kind of mix things up a bit and people typically read the shows that their talent are being booked on.

Anyway, as far as what we do have here, did you make up these finisher names? I was trying to look them up, and it says Chaz Taylor's finishers are the Spanish Fly and Chaztisor, and Dell's finishers are the One-Timer and Dell-bow, so I'd say maybe a description of what the move actually is might help visualize the content if it cannot be looked up. I did that when I gave Daivari or Azrieal a new, alternative finisher just to try and help give the reader a better understanding of the details.

Anyway, I like the roughneck approach you seem to be employing, as it seems like you have an idea of how you want this product to be branded, but I think you just need to up the marketing strategy and overall execution a little bit to get the full impact you desire.

With free agents out there like The Undertaker, Terry Funk, Dusty Rhodes, or Booker T that are from Texas, and even others, such as Raven or Triple H or Jerry Lawler who aren't from Texas but have high profile personas, and even free agent types you could bring in just bolster things like Kurt Angle or Matt Morgan or Sabu or any number of guys, I think you should maybe consider using some of these things to your advantage, as well as booking talent from other NWA promotions, to just try to bolster this whole product a bit, as I'm not really sure why you wouldn't do that.

Maybe you have your reasons, I don't know, but I hope you keep marching on and keep trying to develop.

the majority of the guys on the roster have been toiling away in Texas for quite a few years, which is fine by me, since NWA Southwest is all about the local talent. As far as the "name" guys goes, maybe when I decide to branch out into the adjacent states. But, I have to take a good hard look at them, and whether or not they fit in to the product, which is good old-fashioned Texas butt kicking.

As far as the editing goes, we're gonna deal with that with Summer Star Wars. Just my two cents
