To be honest, I don't know many of these wrestlers, but I think the video production is well done (doesn't look too cheap). Sure, NWA isn't what it used to be, but these guys are trying to making the events look very important thru this video clip, and I think they are doing good job at it. Something that major promotions can learn from them.

Let's see if the outcome of the tournament will live up to the quality of the video clip.

I'd be curious to know if Pro Wrestling Illustrated will continue to give world title recognition to this version of the NWA title, bestow it upon the TNA title, or remove it from both. The relatively recent restoration of world title status by PWI to the NWA title was predicated mostly on the success of TNA being able to maintain a nationally televised spotlight.
