*ADAM PEARCE DISCUSSES HIS UPCOMING NWA V. ROH TITLE MATCH AGAINST NIGEL MCGUINNESS* Adam Pearce was the guest on the most recent edition of PWB's Official Podcast with Lex and Ian, located at _http://www.pwbpodcastlive.com <http://www.pwbpodcastlive.com/>_. Pearce talked about his career in wrestling and his upcoming NWA Title v. ROH World Title match against Nigel McGuinness this Friday in Dayton, Ohio: Pearce on the NWA v.

But we gotta look at it within a context and a frame of reference of /now/ as opposed to /then,/ because the wrestling fans that are watching Ring of Honor DVDs per se are probably 18, 19, 20, 21- years old...And when you're that age, you don't know how much of the old NWA stuff they would have seen. So if you're gonna use that as a barometer you gotta realize that most fans who are in that age bracket probably have heard about the NWA, maybe have seen some of the WWE DVDs that have come out to try and get a grasp of what this whole thing meant way back in the day. But generally speaking it's about re-introducing this historic piece of wrestling history to a younger fan base and from that standpoint I'm really excited...” Link to full interview: http://www.pwbpodcastlive.com/2008/06/23/pwb-hotline-adam-pearce-june-23-2008/ {plug} |
