Quote:At the beginning of 2017, the NWA reboot had this amazing 'new life' kinda zest and I was so exceedingly proud of how well they were fusing it together with internet culture. Those early videos with Tim Storm, the Spiritual Advisor, Jocephus... they were magical. After attending NWA70 in Nashville, I realized things were changing in ways that I didn't really like. Not too long after that, the Atlanta studio chapter of the NWA started and I completely dropped off the scene. The progress was in the fusion of internet media/culture with wrestling narratives... it made us feel like these were just vlogs from peoples' real lives. The beef was more exciting and real... it was more raw.
Sometime in 2019, I saw things going south with Billy's inner circle... Dave, Jim, etc. I tried to contact Billy and address my concerns about what I could see was clearly a path headed for disaster, but my message wasn't received. Here we are today, and it seems like the writing was on the wall. It went down this way because they sought to make it like TV, like the 'old days', instead of embracing everything it means to be on the internet platform, the future of entertainment. It can still be done... but Billy must be so much more careful with who he trusts this time.
I looked at the NWA YouTube channel for the first time in a very long time, and it looks like ALL their videos from the Dave era are just gone.
Is that true??
God...
Did they have to remove all those videos because of Dave??
Is that what happened??

There's like seriously nothing left.
God...
If only Billy had listened to the warnings.
