Dan Severn is NWA World Champ right now, and Jarret will be after the ppv.
I think they should leave the title on Severn or put the title on Shamrouk since he's a recognizable contender.
Is anyone going to be watch this?
I know i'm not, the weekly ppv idea is going to wreck what should be a decent fed.

Severn was stripped that is the whole point of this Gauntlet/Rumble match. He has a shoot fight that same night or something. Also Joel Gertner was hired as well.

I will watch only because it is free. Why would people pay $10 a week, to see basically people or were not good enough to make the WWF/E.

Uh, because if you've been watching the WWF lately, they ain't exactly been putting out terrific programming themselves.

This is a decent alternative, and quite a few of the wrestlers involved - AJ Styles, Low-Ki, and yes, even Jarrett - are good to great talent, better than many of the guys in the WWF right now.

Unless, of course, you dig watching Big Show v. Bradshaw matches, or are thrilled with the wrestling ability of Mark Henry or Maven.
