No one man should have all that POWERRR

[BigJ]

Hey guys!

Just updated the roster and added a show index

 

ALSO this is a kind-of-24h prediction warning if you want to participate!

[Bagins]

<p>EPISODE 28:</p><p>

Who will Nick Aldis bring out as his challenger for Hard Times 2? <strong>Satoshi Kojima</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Looking at legends who are still active it became a toss up for me between Demon Jr, Tenzan, and Kojima. Though could be a heel swerve to and face someone like Kahagas or Conway. Going with Kojima, biggest name that can still "go"</p><p> </p><p>

NWA World Television Championship match: <strong>Anthony Bennett ©</strong> vs. "Uptown" Andy Brown</p><p> </p><p>

Add me to the list of people who will look into Bennett. Always a happy when wrestlers I don't from these games do end up on my radar.</p><p> </p><p>

The Rock N' Roll Express vs. <strong>FKA "the Authors of Pain"</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Ellering plus these guys is a great crew. Feel bad for the RnR, they are in for a world of hurt</p><p> </p><p>

Kamille vs. <strong>Thunder Rosa</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Tough to pick against Rosa.</p>

[BigJ]

Thank you for your prediction Bagins!

 

Nice touch to habe thought Nick Aldis is making a heel swerve, it's definitely something that crossed my mind... and maybe will happen!

[The Lariat]

EPISODE 28:

Who will Nick Aldis bring out as his challenger for Hard Times 2? Kahagas

 

I could see Aldis picking a lesser challenge, and Kahagas unfortunately fits that bill. It could very well be someone else (Tim Storm probably) but I think that’s a decent choice.

 

NWA World Television Championship match: Anthony Bennett © vs. "Uptown" Andy Brown

 

I love Andy Brown, but it’s not his time just yet.

 

The Rock N' Roll Express vs. FKA "the Authors of Pain"

 

Occam’s Razor has this one.

 

Kamille vs. Thunder Rosa

 

I like Thunder Rosa

[BigJ]

Thank you buddy! Even tho you spoiled AOP's new name

EPISODE 28: THE DAY ROCK N' ROLL DIED

 

 

You weave your spell, your eyes they beckon me

Your lips they speak, lies and misery

I know it's wrong, but I can't turn away

The flames draw near, they're telling me to stay

Into the fire! I'm falling

Into the fire! I'm falling

INTO THE FIRE!

 

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! Dave Marquez and Joe Galli welcome us to episode 28 of NWA Powerrr! They hype up the show with the debut of Paul Ellering's tag team, the men formerly known as the Authors of Pain who will face NWA Tag Team legends the Rock N' Roll Express in their debut tonight! Also tonight, new NWA World Television Champion made a plea on NWA's Youtube to be a fighting champion, he defends against "Uptown" Andy Brown! And in our main event, NWA Women's Champion Thunder Rosa will face one of her would-be challenger, Kamille, in a non-title match with high stakes! Galli also reminds us that tonight Nick Aldis will reveal his challenger for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, the man who he will face at Hard Time 2 on january. Marquez wonders if this "christmas present" will be a fluke from Aldis and predicts he'll bring out someone like Kahagas or Rob Conway. But without further a do, we go to Sean Mooney who's interviewing someone at the desk...

 

 

 

 

Sean Mooney welcomes Tim Storm and asks him what are his plans for Christmas. Storm talks about his family, getting the usual "Mamma Storm" chants from the audience here in the studio. Tim Storm says that like every Christmas, he will gathers with his family and loved ones. But this year, Christmas is special. Because this year, his mom asked him for a very special present... She wants him to retire from professional wrestling. Sean Mooney anxiously asks him if he will offer her this present. Storm says he hasn't decided yet. Because he isn't decided. Because he wants to prove himself he can still go. Storm reflects on his failures this past year. Last year, he lost to Nick Aldis, preventing him from ever challenging for the Ten Pounds of Gold again. Recently, he failed Trevor Murdock in the Crockett Cup. And he was pinned 2 times by Thomas Latimer, Strictly Business' Wildcard. Latimer hurt his confidence. Here was a man that he already beat. A wildman, a hired gun that does Nick Aldis' dirty work. If he can beat this type of thug, is he a top wrestler still? Is he championship material still? Because if he isn't, he can retire in peace. He doesn't want to cling on his spot like every old guy in this busines. If it's his time, he will go... But only if it's his time. That's why he wants another shot at Thomas Latimer. He wants a last chance to see if he can go. That's why he's issuing a challenge right here, right now!

 

 

 

 

Of course this brings out the Wildcard, one half of the NWA World Tag Team Champions. Latimer is all smug. He laughs at Tim Storm, saying that he already beat him twice. He also reminds him that it's HIS "miss", Kamille, that cost him the chance to EVER challenge again for the world championship. As far as he's concerned, he doesn't have ANYTHING to prove. He will not face Tim Storm again. He takes offense to having been called a "thug" and swears Storm that he is a better wrestler than he ever was. Storm gets angry: "you've never been to my mountain top, kid! I was the world champion! I was THE guy!" Latimer switch his smug face to a mask of anger and screams at Storm: he is what he wants to be and that is an animal of a wrestler, the Wildcard, the brutalizer. He is born a hooligan and he will always be wild. That's his style. And right now, he reminds Storm that he is the one holding gold. He again refuses the challenge and begins to walk away... But someone else comes to the stand.

 

 

 

 

"Yeah?!... Yeah?!..." Drake reminds us all that Thunder Rosa and himself defeated Nick Aldis. He says that he is the rightful #1 challenger but Aldis is playing games. Drake says he is a patient man, he will wait for Aldis to face whoever he gets from out of his hat at Hard Times 2... MEANWHILE. He always had a huge amount of respect for Tim Storm and says he reminds him of his father. He's righteous, he's fair, he's honorable. He doesn't want him to be disrespected by the scum of the United Kingdom. At this words, Latimer makes a move towards Drake, but a ref gets in between, and his partner comes from the back to hold him off.

 

 

 

 

Drake is glad to see Doug Williams. He reminds us that he made a promise to go through every single member of Strictly Business in order to get to Aldis. He already beat Bennett. He and Rosa beat Kamille and Aldis. Now he wants to whoop both THEIR asses. Latimer tells him to come get it, and Drake puts his arm around Tim Storm's neck. He tells him that he never lost the NWA World Tag Team Championship. He went to management, and told them that it was bullshit that Nick Aldis picked his own challengers. SO, as a measure of compensation, they offered him a shot... At the NWA World Tag Team Championship. After all, that's only fair, right? But James Storm is not a NWA Wrestler anymore... So he can team with another Storm... "So what do you say, Timmy Boy?" Tim Storm has a huge smile on his face as Latimer gets all angry and Williams tries to calm him down. Storm says it would be his PLEASURE. His pleasure to go at Latimer and hey, who knows, maybe another belt... Drake tells him to find a nice bouquet for his mamma at Christmas, because he's not retiring right now... Not until Hard Times 2 when they will face Strictly Business for the NWA World Tag Team Championship!

1. Anthony Bennett def. "Uptown" Andy Brown. Anthony Bennett makes defense #1 of his NWA World Television Championship..

This match was all style and rythm. Not a dance contest, but two magnificent athlete battling with high risks moves in order to put the match to an end before the dreaded 7-minutes time limit that hands above all NWA TV title matches like a Sword of Damocles.

This was an even match-up but we quickly saw that Anthony Bennett's title win last week was no fluke. The young man with an absurdly high flat-top kept his head in the game and made no mistake, blocking a superkick and transitioning into his Buzzcut (Paydirt) for the win in 6 minutes of high intensity fast-paced action.

 

 

 

 

The young champion lost no time and held up his belt in the air, before going to his fallen opponent and shaking his hand. As the NWA World Television Champion began to bounce to his own theme song, a twangy voice was heard all accross the studio and... It's him! "The artist FKA as Famous B, now using a stupid made up German name to scam people with his "lawyer" skill" said Joe Galli.

 

 

 

 

"Young man!" He said, "you don't know me. But every judge in his state do. I've been hired as the legal representation of the RIGHFUL holder of this championship, Mister d'Angelo Dinero, also known as the Pope. He CONTESTS the result of the match that saw him lose the belt, arguing that both his shoulders didn't touch the floor and that was a quick count. I will go through ANY LOOPHOLE to see that my client's not being made a fool of.... Mister Bennett, there's now a legal action against you. We will see each other in court."

 

As the "lawyer" leaves, Anthony Bennett is dumbfounded in the ring, but seems a little amused by everything that just happened.

 

 

__________

 

 

Ater a publicity break, we come back to some chaos at the ringside interviewer's desk, apparently, we're having an unscheduled... Interview?

 

 

 

 

"LISTEN UP BOYZ! Aron Stevens, Brad Stevens, Steven Spielberg, Stephen King, DON'T MATTER!... You #&?! attacked my baby brother! YOU PUT YOUR DIRTY NO GOOD WANNA BE ACTOR HANDS ON MY BROTHER! YOU USED YOUR bull***t Toys'R'Us belt to CHOKE HIM! You think we would let that fly?! You think I WOULD LET THAT FLY?!

 

ARON STEVENS! You and your human masked bag of trash are in for a treat NEXT WEEK!... NWA POWERRR!... YOU'RE FACING THE BRISCOE BROTHERS YOU %$#&!"

 

Wow... After these words, Jay Briscoe storms to the back, leaving a semi-afraid Sean Mooney at loss for words. It seems like Jay Briscoe is back in NWA after his loss in the Crockett Cup... Thanks to Aron Stevens and The Question Mark. And next week, he'll exact revenge on them after they brutally attacked Mark Briscoe last week!

2. Sunny Dhinsa & Gzim Selmani /w. Paul Ellering defeat the Rock N' Roll Express in mere minutes..

This match was ugly. It has been said that Robert Gibson is one of the most famous punching bag of this sports, having taken so many damages and being thrown around for decaded by the likes of Ric Flair or Rick Rude. The Rock N' Roll Express have faced tremendous teams over the years, Arn & Tully, the Midnights, the Road Warriors... But no one like Paul Ellering's team.

Dhinsa & Selmani absolutely mauled them with a mean streak and a viciousness unrivaled in the history of NWA Powerrr. They brutalized them, didn't even flinched when they were hit, and finished them in mere minutes with their Super Collider.

 

 

 

 

As paramedics rush to attend to Gibson & Morton, Ellering calmly climbs to the ring and grabs a microphone, flanked by his team. He introduces them by their REAL name, stressing the fact that they had stupide nicknames "up North". He says that they are no supernatural force. They are no grim reapers. What they are is absolute beasts. "Let me tell you a story you don't know, because it was more interesting to brainless storyteller to occult this: Sunny Dhinsa is a world-class amateur wrestler. He was offered a sport in the 2016 Olympics. He was the best freestyle amateur wrestler in all of Canada. He won a silver medal in the Panamerican game... And Gzim Selmani? Oh boy. Gzim Selmani is trained in judo since he was 4. He's a 8-2 MMA fighter. He's a beast from Kosovo that was taught nothing but FIGHT."

 

Ellering reminds us that they left a trail of destruction so big in their former promotions, that they tried to erase them in favour of their golden boys. Why? Because they're not pretty. Because they ain't talkers. Because they are not cosmetically pleasing. They're ugly, they are bears, they are trolls, they are giants! Ellering tells us that ins less than 4 years they rolled over their competition. But then, he was separated from them, HIS creation, HIS project, HIS legacy! Now, they are back under his tutelage.

 

Ellering explains us the principle of Occam's Razor: the simplest explanation is usually the right one. This team right here IS Occam's Razor made human. They are the simplest explanation to the question: what happened? Who DESTROYED the Rock N' Roll Express? Who's the toughest team in the world? Who's the monolith in the wrestling landscape?... Them.

 

Ellering makes a promise: Occam's Razor will be NWA World Tag Team Champions in 2021... "Merry Christmas.".

 

As Ellering leaves, followed by Sunny and Gzim, the camera focuses on the Rock N' Roll Express who's being stretchered out of the studio.

3. Thunder Rosa defeats Kamille.

Our main event was all women's action, and it definitely stole the show!

The brute force of Kamille went against the no-nonsense striking style of the NWA Women's World Champion. History runs between these two as Kamille attacked Thunder Rosa back on episode 23, claiming she'll be next in line. Unfortunately for her, after some weeks of chasing around, Thunder Rosa submitted her in the middle of the ring on episode 26 in a mixed tag team match.

Kamille still wants a shot, and the commentators tells us that if she beats the champion she'll logically be next in line. So Kamille leaves it all in the ring. She attacks, again and again, trying to tire her opponent and to overwhelm her with her strength advantage. But the champs not no champ for nothing. She always gets back up, even when being dominated. She added a flurry of hard kicks to her arsenal and she uses them to weaken Kamille's legs. She even delivers a serie of low kicks to Kamille's leg that leaves her on one knee. Thunder Rosa then flies to the ropes and runs at Kamille with a shining wizard reminiscent of the Great Muta for a 2 count.

In the end, Rosa's strategy is paying as Kamille wants to lift her in a military press, but he weaken leg flinches and she let Rosa fall. The champion jumps at the occasion and traps her in leg hook. Kamille has no choice but to tap out.

 

 

 

 

The champion gets on the microphone. She says even though she uses dubious tactics and associated herself with "these scums" Strictly Business, Kamille is one tough woman. Rosa advises her to distance herself from this crew in order to improve. She then tells us that she's a woma of a few words, and proves it by just saying: "Serena Deeb... I've heard you... You're on." The challenge seems accepted! Thunder Rosa will defend against Serena Deeb!

The speculations have been multiple. Tonight, Nick Aldis "gifts us" with the challenger he handpicked to defend the NWA World Heavyweight Championship against. He promised a major star, a legend, a demi-god and a former NWA World champion. Lots of people have been speculating he might be tricking us and bringing in a fluke like Kahagas. Aldis says he's been very disappointed by these rumors. What he wants is to uphold the prestige of the Ten Pounds of Gold. What he wants is to defend against the best of the best. He wants to prove to the world that THIS is the real world heavyweight championship... And that he's the best of them all. He's 3 days away from 800 days as NWA World Champion in this current reign. He surpassed Adam Pearce and is the 7th man who have had the title for the most cumulative days. If he defends successfully at Hard Times 2 he'll surpasse Gene Kiniski. But his task is hard. Because he's not bringing a fluke. He's not bringing in a joke... He's bringing us a Hall of Famer. A former NWA World Heavyweight Champion... And a former MMA World Champion. Ladies and gentlemen KEN SHAMROCK!

 

 

 

 

Holy cow! The World's Most Dangerous Man, fresh off a tremendous come back stint in Impact Wrestling, is here in the NWA studio! Shamrock is wearing a neat suit and sunglasses. He goes to the ring and shakes Nick Aldis' hand. They both pose for ringside photographs. Aldis says he's honored to share the ring with Shamrock and that this is a historic moment. Shamrock smiles, grabs the microphone, and says he doesn't know if Aldis really respects him and if being respectful... Or if he thinks he'll beat him easily. But he swears he's in for the fight of his life. Aldis smiles and answers that this is what he is looking for. The two men shake hands again as the show ends.

Forgot about TNA and the NWA working together at one time. Also forgot Shamrock was still working. It does make sense and if the Champ pulls these shenanigans again I know who I’ll predict.

 

Episode 29

 

Eli Drake & Tim Storm vs. SoCal Distancing

Figure Eli keeps winning, but maybe an interesting match would be Storm vs Shamrock for the newly created NWA legends title. Winner gets Tommy Rich

 

 

Mike Bennett vs. Ken Shamrock

Shamrock has to win, I mean if he can’t escape with a win against Bennett then there would be no reason for a match against the champ

 

The Briscoe Brothers vs. Aron Stevens & The Question Mark

 

I know the Question Mark is comedy but even before the COVID shutdown I wasn’t really able to take him serious, which is likely the point. I take the Briscoe’s seriously and they should seriously get a title match

[Texasrangers13]

Eli Drake & Tim Storm vs. SoCal Distancing -- Drake and Storm seem to be set-up to win, but maybe just maybe this is a chance to move Tim Storm away from anything of prominence.

Mike Bennett vs. Ken Shamrock -- Shamrock feels like the winner just to set-up the big clash; but maybe a dirty finish.

The Briscoe Brothers vs. Aron Stevens & The Question Mark --- The number one practitioner of Mongrovian Ka-ra-tay just can't get enough offense in on Dem Boyz.

EPISODE 29: THERE WILL BE BLOOD

 

 

You weave your spell, your eyes they beckon me

Your lips they speak, lies and misery

I know it's wrong, but I can't turn away

The flames draw near, they're telling me to stay

Into the fire! I'm falling

Into the fire! I'm falling

INTO THE FIRE!

 

 

It's the last Nwa Powerrr of 2020! What a strange year it has been.

Dave Marquez and Joe Galli welcome us to episode 29! Big night with two huge tag team matches tonight, and former NWA World Heavyweight Champion, and current #1 Contender Ken Shamrock ins action for the first time in NWA! The show, like usually, starts off with an interview as we go to the interviewer stand.

 

 

 

 

Sean Mooney welcomes NWA World Television Champion, Anthony Bennett! The young man is asked about the legal procedure that Pope is said to have intended towards him, claiming the conclusion of their championship bout was controversial. Bennett says he reviewed the match, again and again, and he sees no controversy, he won! But yes, the Pope, through his nefarious so-called lawyered Famous B, is engaging a legal procedure. He doesn't understands why, or the intricacy of it all: he barely knows how to fill his tax papers! But he understands hustling. And that's why The Pope is doing, trying to hustle him. He knows it, he recognizes intimidation! Bennett is not intimidated, he doesn't have anything to hide, he knows his title win is LEGIT. Mooney asks him what's next. Bennett says he doesn't want to go to court, so he got an offer. He knows it's what Pope wants anyway, and that legal procedure is just a ruse, so let's do it: he's granting him a rematch!

 

 

 

 

"HOLD UP HOLD UP HOLD UP HOLD UP!" The fast talking Famous B enters the fray. He recognizes Bennett as a true business man and a smart "young pup". He says he made the right choice, it's smart to grant Pope a rematch... But it's on ONLY if the contract is made by legal advisor and world-class lawyer Famous B himself. Bennett is annoyed, what is that all about? Famous B says his client is adamant on pressing charges. "What charges?!" Famous B answers with a loghorrea of dubious legal terms, and doesn't stop talking until Bennett screams at him "ENOUGH!". The champion agrees: write the contract, he'll read it, and if he agrees to it he'll sign it. Famous B smiles, he already wrote the contract! He gives the paper to Bennett and describes it: it's for a rematch at NWA Hard Times 2. It will be under classic wrestling rules... Although to prevent another conspiracy, winning will need a 5 COUNT PIN! What is more, the contract specifizes that this match will be held under NO TIME LIMIT!... Bennett barely reads the paper, visibly upset, and asks Famous B how deep are Pope's pocket. Famous B laughs, and tells Bennett he should join Pope's Congregation. Bennett says he will seek legal advise on the contract... And offers Pope to come sign it NEXT WEEK! Famous B seems happy as hell and offers Bennett a handshake. The TV Champion reluctantly shakes his hand as Famous B asks to be now known as "Legal B".

1. Tim Storm & Eli Drake def. SoCal Distancing.

Right off the bat, this match stole the show!

SoCal Distancing were eager to prove they belong against the #1 challengers to the tag team championship. They used their advantage in youth and coordination to quickly dominate the beginning of the match, isolating Tim Storm and harassing him with double team moves. The former world champion resulted to using his superior strength to rebuff his younger opponents, but kept struggling to reach his corner where Eli Drake lost patience. Finally, Storm managed to put "Uptown" Andy Brown with a bodyslam and jumped to his corner. Drake was the proverbial house of fire and cleaned the ring, almost winning the match following a spinebuster on Adrian Quest.

Eli Drake was clearly individually superior to each of his opponent, but their top-notch teamwork allowed them to keep this match ultra competitive.

At the end of 18 minutes of gruelling match that saw Andy Brown take a Tim Storm DDT onto the apron and Eli Drake kick out of a double superkick, the challengers won after an Eli Drake Gravy Train on Quest.

 

 

 

 

Post match, Tim Storm grabbed the mic. He says it was the most competitive match he had in quite a while. It felt hard, it felt right, and it felt GREAT! He thanks Eli Drake. He thanks him for offering him another chance at NWA Gold. He thanks him for giving him the chance to test his strength again Thomas Latimer once again... Like he promised last week, he was forced to deny Mamma Storm her christmas gift: he's not retiring... Yet. But he can't stay deaf to his mamma's plea again and again. That is why, if he and Eli Drake lose at Hard Times... He'll call it a career and retire. The crowd in the Studio chants at its favourite: "please don't go", but Eli Drake grabs the mic: "LEMME TALK TO YOU!... HE WON'T RETIRE, BECAUSE WE WON'T LOSE, BECAUSE WE WILL BEAT THESE BRITISH HOOLIGAN PUNKS, WIN THE NWA WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP, AND THEN I'LL GO ON AND KICK NICK ALDIS' ASS FOR THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!... Yeah?!... Yeah!!... YEAH!". The crowd cheers as Storm & Drake embrace in the middle of the ring.

We get a rare video vignette that is not an NWA staple. We see Serena Deeb ending a yoga class that she just gave. It cuts to Thunder Rosa training her kicks on a heavy bag. We get a replay of Serena Deeb beating Marti Belle and challenging Thunder Rosa, then last week when Thunder Rosa defeated Kamille and accepted Deeb's challenge. The video promo stresses Serena Deeb's hunger for restoring her legacy and not being "that girl who got shaved bald on TV". On the other hand, we see Thunder Rosa's quest for recognition and elevation for the NWA Women's Division. At the end of the 4 minutes video promo, we see a graphic: "ROSA VS. DEEB - NWA WOMEN'S WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP - HARD TIMES 2"... It's official!

2. Ken Shamrock def. Mike Bennett.

Mike Bennett is on a path of redemption. He regained his mental health, he trained harder than ever before, and cleaned up his addictions, joined Strictly Business and gained a new focus.

But Ken Shamrock, even at the rippe age of 56, is a BEAST. Shamrock ragdolls Mike Bennett from the beginning of the match, tossing him around like his weights nothing. "The Prodigy" only finds salvation in his wife and manager Maria Kanellis, who distracts the ref just in times for him to throw an eye poke at Shamrock. Bennett then focuses on the UFC Hall of Famer's ankle, kick him and mocking him by applying his own Ankle Lock! Bennett has flipped the script in this match, but suddenly gets distracted.

 

 

 

 

Ringside, notorious NWA's jobber Sal Rinauro makes his way to Maria... With a bouquet of flowers in his hands! Maria accepts the flowers but seems uncomfortable. On the ring, Benett gets MAD angry and screams at Rinauro who answers that "it's just a show of respect and admiration! I love your new reality show!". Behind Bennett, Shamrock gets slowly up, grabs his ankle, and drags him to the center of the ring. Bennett has no choice but to tap out!

 

 

 

 

This match was quick, and told a great story in 6 minutes: Ken Shamrock is still a KILLER, and a real threat to Nick Aldis. As Shamrock exits the ring, Sean Mooney invites him to the desk to ask him some question. He asks him how he is feeling on his upcoming match for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. Shamrock has a sinister grin: he feels good, and he feels like he can rip Nick Aldis' ankle off his leg. Mooney uncomfortably asks Shamrock if he feels like he can win the title, although his age makes him an underdog. Shamrock puts in hand on Mooney's shoulder, and asks him if what he did tonight makes him the underdog. Bennett put Nick Aldis to the limit 2 months ago when he challenged for the championship, and he smashed him in mere minutes despite his cheating ways. What will happen to Nick Aldis?... Shamrock turns to the camera, he says he respects Nick Aldis, but he made a wrong choice by chosing him to test his value and elevate the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. Because Shamrock is going to take the title off of him, and then... Then he'll do whatever he likes. Yikes.

 

 

 

 

3. The Briscoe Brothers def. Aron Stevens & the Question Mark.

 

It all started when Aron Stevens and the Question Mark tried to cost their rival Trevor Murdock his Crockett Cup match, but instead made the Briscoes lose. The situation then escalated more and more, with a match between Mark Briscoe and the Question Mark ending with a brutal attack on the youngest Briscoe sibling, what saw Aron Stevens choke him with his Mongrovian Karate Belt.

Jay Briscoe promised there will be blood and he will avenge his little brother, and he made good on his promise mere minutes into the match, when he went after Aron Stevens' forehead and bit it! Blood began to flow, staining Steven's immaculate white karate gi. Stevens and the Question Mark were as goofy as the Briscoes were serious, but not on purpose. They bumped into each others, Aron Stevens screamed like a little girl when put into submission holds, and Question Mark made some absurd karate poses after each successful move he made.

In the end, the Briscoe got what they want as they exerted revenge by winning the match with an assisted Jay Driller on The Question Mark.

 

 

 

 

The Briscoes didn't go over the top with their celebration, as Jay was still visibly pissed. Outside of the ring, a bloody Aron Stevens motioned to the back, and out came...

 

 

 

 

Out came an absurdly obese man wearing the Question Mark's mask and attire. We saw him on the last NWA Powerrr before the pandemic, it's Question Mark Jr! On commentary, Joe Galli noted that is MUST be Brian Milonas, because there's nobody else with that kind of body type.

 

Question Mark Jr. went to the ring, and attacked the Briscoes with his "father?". The two masked men took advantage thanks to the surprise and Jr being fresh. But once again, the cavalry arrived in the form of a wild cowbell-wielding lariat-hitting Texas bruiser, NWA National Champion.

 

 

 

 

Once again, Murdock cleared the ring, but this time he had something to say and motioned for a microphone. He went at Aron Stevens "you and your masked donkeys... I'M SICK OF YOU! It all started when we fought for the NWA National Championship, but it escalated into violence, cheating, and now... An obese trashbag? I'M SICK OF THIS! You outnumbered the Briscoes twice, and each time I went after you. Now there won't be another time. Mark!... Jay!... What do you say we beat these clowns up, 3 on 3, and give them HARD TIMES?!"

Soooooo not really an unpredictable show this week!

Pondered on having Question Mark & Stevens win on some tomfoolery, but Jay Briscoe was upset by losing to them, and I already had a tainted finish this week so I don't want to overload them.

 

Thank you to everyone who participated!

BONUS QUESTION: Who will answer Paul Ellering's team Open Challenger? :Whoever it is are going to get smashed up. Love where you're going with this team, it kind of reminds me of the Briscoe's and WWE relationship. "You're not cosmetically pleasing enough. Also an Ellering mark, so love this direction.</p>

[BigJ]

<p>Thank to both of you guys! <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

Tobin: appreciate the feedback man! Loved AOP during NXT, it's a shame they were so poorly booked and suffered twist of fates with their injuries.</p><p>

Totally stole the cosmetically pleasing line from the Briscoes <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> they're my #2 fav team of all time and their 2008-2010 run in ROH is a total gem in my eyes</p>
