I do kinda like the idea, Smark, and I've thought of doing a project where some other company besides AEW opens up, in place of AEW

Yeah, I even looked at all the things happening around the time of AEW’s inception and there are so many ways you could go. Involving NWA, Impact, Ring of Honor and the All In show. Having someone buy of these companies and team up with Elite to elevate that companies position and bring it to TNT instead of open a brand new promotion. My main goal even be two have that person buy two of those companies and merge them. The one that makes the most sense if Billy buys Impact as well as NWA remerges them and bring Elite in to make this new NWA Impact the draw AEW is now.

You could also have Elite themselves buy a stake in Ring of Honor instead of doing All In and then have Tony or Billy help them acquire Impact and instead of buying Anthem buying them or AXS, debut ROH on TNT with a combined ROH Impact roster.

I’d probably prefer 1998, but 97 would do in a pinch.

Thanks.

Of course whichever two companies you combined would also have whichever guys you like from AEW come in as well since this combined company replaces AEW so really it’s like combined three feds as one.

Let's take a looksie at the inner workings now.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

I definitely think if you combined your favorite aspects of the AEW, ROH and Impact rosters and had that debut instead of AEW with an established brand name, you could really do something special with it in 2019.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

You could even do the NWA buys impact thing and rename the whole company NWA-TNA and go retro.

 

[Bobby Barrows]

Look at Smark setting up a BTB for himself.

 

[Bobby Barrows]

Alright, first things first, I fired The Headbangers (god they suck ass) and an announcer. I'm going to just have the announce team as Bob Caudle, Jim Cornette, and Les Thatcher.

 

[Bobby Barrows]

I'm first off going to: avoid ECW/WCW/WWF wrestlers that are available. As much as I'd love to bring Raven or Taz to SMW, they aren't working for how I want to save the company first and foremost.

 

[Bobby Barrows]

Thoughts on bringing in Demolition?

 

[Bobby Barrows]

Aight, so I already got a few names I could bring in that have somewhat of a history with SMW: Brian Lee, Bryan Clark, Hector Guerrero, maybe Matt Borne?

 

[Bobby Barrows]

Also could bring in Honky Tonk Man, Jake Roberts, Dan Severn, Rick Martel, Steve Austin, The Patriot, maybe even Destruction Crew.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Make Wrath a star.

 

[Bobby Barrows]

Make Wrath a star.

He was The Nightstalker in SMW.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Him too.
