Dusty started this in early 1989 after being let go by the new owners of NWA/WCW. In his last televised match, he said, "I am professional wrestling. I am the NWA!" My understanding was it was over his feud with The Road Warriors when Animal poked his spike into Rhodes' eye drawing blood; something Turner didn't want on WCW.
they pulled some good crowds at first. But Dusty said he lost $145K of his own money trying to get this off the ground.
But as it started to turn around Vince got him to come to teh WWF.
