Jaysin Posted March 21, 2021 Author Share Posted March 21, 2021 The NWA has their first ppv in over a year this afternoon and the card is admittedly rough, but it should be fun! Anyone else planning on watching? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RingRider Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I would've thought about it...but then they hired Tyrus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalton Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Yeah.... I'll check the results out, but after the Tyrus announcement its a no bueno for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyDavidson Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Yeah.... I'll check the results out, but after the Tyrus announcement its a no bueno for me. Any particular reason for that, or just a dislike of the wrestler? No sarcasm, I'm legitimately asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His former co-host at Fox sued the network for sexual harassment by Tyrus (but for some reason they still employ him). He was let go from the show GLOW after 1 season amid rumors of sexual harassment against several actresses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysin Posted March 22, 2021 Author Share Posted March 22, 2021 First two matches sucked big time, but everything else was fun. I do hate how Aldis finishes matches with a roll up. He like never wins with his finisher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeyserSoze Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I've never seen a NWA (a modern NWA) show but I read some reviews and I watched it. Well, it was unexpected but the kind of retro-vibe was... something. Maybe I'm in a "Territory Watcher" mode, but I found it fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a kid, WCW's b shows all taped in studios for the most part and the atmosphere was so intimate. I'm interested to see how NWA moves forward without Dave in creative. Interesting that Strictly Business seems to have been dropped and Pope is a face again randomly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyDavidson Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 So is NWA Power still available on YouTube? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysin Posted March 24, 2021 Author Share Posted March 24, 2021 So is NWA Power still available on YouTube? No, it was taken down because they reached a deal with Fite TV. The new way to watch Power is subscribing to the NWA on Fite TV for $20 a month. So basically you pay $5 an episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysin Posted March 27, 2021 Author Share Posted March 27, 2021 Finally got to watch this past week's NWA Power and it was fun. Alex Gracia vs Kamille- Kamille is raw and very green. She also moves fairly awkwardly. Hopefully she improves as she goes because she has a good aura and look. Gracia has been jobbing in AEW so I didn't expect her to win here. Still, Alex has a very cool look and is very cute and a good seller. Hopefully she finds a spot on someone's roster fulltime. Velvet Sky was randomly on commentary and she was fairly okay. Not bad, but not great. Just in the middle. Pope had a great promo as usual. One of the best in the business in my opinion. I love Austin Idol, but I hate Tyrus. A shame Austin is managing him now. Tyrus sucks so bad. Fred Rosser(Darren Young) vs Marshe Rockett vs Matt Cross- I'm a diehard Matt Cross fan and have followed his career since he was a rookie in the Cleveland indie scene. He's so damn good, but Rosser is in line for a push it seems. Rosser has improved quite a bit since I saw him last and this was a pretty solid triple threat. Pope was on commentary and was very fun. May Valentine is so so so so so so bad on the mic. I have no idea why she's allowed to do backstage interviews. She's so phony sounding. Her real life story is quite exciting and interesting though. I like her as a personality outside of wrestling, but she's bad. Jordan Clearwater vs Mike Parrow- Squash match. Not a fan of either guy. Velvet was back on commentary and again, not bad, but not good either. Thunder Rosa was interviewed and her weak spot is definitely interviews. To make things worse, Melina returned as a face seemingly offering to manage Rosa. Melina has been absolutely horrendous in the NWA in the past and I have zero desire to see her. A shame she's back with Rosa. Main event time! Aron Stevens(Damien Sandow), JR Kratos, and Pope(Elijah Burke/D'angelo Dinero) vs Thom Latimer(Bram/Kenneth Cameron), Nick Aldis, and mystery partner Chris Adonis(Chris Masters)- I popped for Adonis. I've been a huge fan of his for years. It was always discouraging in his WWE runs whenever he'd get pushed and then get suspended. Still, he's supposedly clean now and still looks amazing. Fun main event for what it was. Aron Stevens took a beatdown from the heels throughout. They're thankfully splitting Kratos and Stevens up. Kratos is bad and Stevens is a face now. Adonis picked up the win. I'd be ok with him and Latimer taking the tag belts off Stevens/Kratos. Velvet was on commentary for the main event again and called Latimer by his Impact name "Bram" a few times and was corrected each time. Lots of people are disappointed by the lackluster return, but I enjoyed it for the most part. They seem to be making Austin Idol a bigger part of the show and that's pretty awesome. He has a larger than life personality and he's a total carnie in character. They are claiming Adonis put Trevor Murdoch after the PPV as a way to explain Murdoch's absence from the show. Hopefully he's not gone long as I love that ugly bastard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysin Posted April 26, 2021 Author Share Posted April 26, 2021 Despite NWA having some talent that I really enjoy(Pope, Masters, Kamille, Rosa, Trevor Murdoch), there seems to be a missing spark that the previous seasons had. I find myself fast forwarding through matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterioso Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Despite NWA having some talent that I really enjoy(Pope, Masters, Kamille, Rosa, Trevor Murdoch), there seems to be a missing spark that the previous seasons had. I find myself fast forwarding through matches. I haven't caught much of the recent NWA stuff, but missing Starks, Kingston, Zicky Dice, Question Mark, and Eli Drake can't help. All of them really shined in the format. Also surprised by Thunder Rosa. The original Power episodes are where she really caught my eye. Loved her in the initial incarnation of Power. The lack of Allysin Kay seems odd too, she was pretty dope on the original Power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysin Posted June 23, 2021 Author Share Posted June 23, 2021 Ugh, NWA advertised a Serena Deeb and Thunder Rosa "showdown". It wasn't a match or anything, just an awful promo segment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysin Posted August 30, 2021 Author Share Posted August 30, 2021 NWA EmPowerrr was a very, very fun show. Kamille vs Leyla should have main evented though. Easily the match of the night and the best match Kamille has ever had. Leyla has a very bright future ahead of her. It was also nice to see such a large audience for an NWA show. I hated how every two seconds of the show someone gushed about how special the night was though. If you took a shot/drink every time someone said that you'd be hospitalized for alcohol poisoning. Kong announcing her retirement was very unexpected, but a very cool moment. Gail doesn't look like she's aged at all. Can't watch NWA 73rd until tomorrow, but definitely intrigued by the NWA again so looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysin Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 Finally got around to NWA 73. Pretty good show, but Tyrus needs to retire. He's slower than molasses and is sucking air before his entrance is even done. He's so bad. Also, the debut of Judais(Murphy from TNA's Gunner & Murphy) was hilarious. He's so bad and botched the finish of the battle royal. Super excited that Bestia won the tag titles with Mecha Wolf. I'm not a huge fan of Mecha Wolf, but I have a soft spot for Bestia because I loved his father. Trevor Murdoch vs Aldis was really good and it was such a feel good moment seeing Murdoch win the World title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the first episode of the "new era" and it wasn't too shabby. Far from perfect, but I like the way they do entrances. It's a simple thing but it gives more times for the matches.

Jaysin Posted October 9, 2023 Author Share Posted October 9, 2023 There's a new NWA territory called NWA Exodus Pro based in Cleveland, Ohio run by EC3. From the sounds of it, it'll be a developmental territory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
