    Wrestling With Wregret covered WWA’s whole run a few years back but didn’t go in-depth on any of their shows, it was a very strange promotion probably best described as late-period WCW mixed with the best and worst of early TNA (literally in the latter case as WWA served as a platform for a lot of TNA’s early roster). One of their lowest points was the 2002 PPV Revolution, their one and only US show. Among its many issues the marketing heavily advertised Kevin Nash and Scott Hall (who backed out after returning to WWE), Road Dogg (who backed out for personal reasons), and a main event featuring Randy Savage (who no-showed and had to be replaced with Road Dogg’s planned opponent Brian “Grandmaster Sexay” Christopher at the last minute).

    "Integrity"...
    As per Bret at a live speaking event in Australia in April, 2024, he's still owed around $100,000 for working for this promotion.
    Who owes him that money? Andrew McManus, the dodgiest promoter Australia has ever known.
    Whenever his name is attached to an event, anybody with any knowledge of the major events industry in Australia rolls their eyes, knowing the event will go through various lineup changes, artists won't be paid, and anybody unfortunate enough to have purchased a ticket will be bitterly disappointed.
    Weirdly -- or not? -- Jeff Jarrett seemed to speak highly of McManus on his podcast...

      Honestly, I don't remember off the top of my head. I looked up the events on cagematch and that was the main event for their first show, but the commentary was on the second show. That part I do remember, because Sting was there and I painted my face at that event. That was the only other thing I remembered from that.

    Oh man, if you're up for reviewing their Vegas PPV Revolution, try to hunt down the Larry Zbysko promo from that show since it was more of a shoot on Vince McMahon and I think was edited out of the replay. This was around the time he sued WWF over the "Living Legend" name because they had Chris Jericho saying it while he was Undisputed Champion.

    I remember going to a WWA event in Manchester in December 2001 where I saw Jeremy Borsach for the first time, Bret Hart was the commissioner. Jarett champion with Road Dogg, Stevie Ray, Norman, Grand Master Sexy and others turning up to it. It was decent enough and great to see Bret, especially in person for first time since One Night Only 1997.

    The fake crowd noises had me laughing so hard. You could see how dead and quiet the audience was, but it sounded like the opening to Wrestlemania. The part at 4:05, and shortly after when they badly edited in the boos and then even MORE BADLY added in the cheers that sounded like some Soccer team just scored a goal, was so damn hilarious! You could literally hear them cut one audio clip and just splice in the next one. You LITERALLY hear the cuts.
