Recap time!
Bare turnbuckle to the face sounds painful.
Aldis looks freaked out! I would be too, considering Marty Scurll's fondness for Plague Doctor cosplay.
Yeah, this is the Christmas 2019 episode. Man, am I behind.
Stu Bennett is so much better than Jim Cornette.
Congrats to Trevor Murdoch on getting an NWA contract! Good on you!
Zicky Dice looks like the kind of man who would be banned from a strip club just for fashion crimes.
What is the Pope up to? Does he want to be NWA champion, too?
The Pope wants to get into the world of managing, huh? I'd like to manage a wrestler.
Pope's like, "Yeahhhh, Pope out."
Match #1 - NWA TV Title Qualifier Match - Ricky Starks vs. Eddie Kingston
Each of these TV Title matches are 6 minutes 5 seconds long. I guess that's the gimmick for these matches. Get it? It used to be on TV at 6:05 PM.
WHAT AN EXPLODER BY KINGSTON!
Nice slingblade by Starks!
Winner: Ricky Starks
Good match. The time limit made it very breezy.
Here comes Royce Isaacs! And it seems he's got a new lady friend!
Say hi to May Valentine, everybody!
Isaacs is like "Dude, ask her about her Nintendo Switch!"
Hey, Royce Isaacs wants to prove he's more than just one half of the Wild Cards, eh? Well, James Storm is eager to help him with that!
Match #2 - Royce Isaacs vs. James Storm
Hey, Royce! You wanted to fight someone! Get in that ring, ya coward!
Orange Santa helping out!
There really needs to be barricades in the audience area.
Royce is like, "Yeah, never mind I'm outta here! Bye!"
Winner: James Storm via countout.
This was a fun segment and match. Nice way to give Royce some personality. Hopefully, this doesn't foreshadow a breaking up of the Wild Cards anytime soon.
Eli Drake's been drinking for Christmas!
More like Eli's had a couple of bottles.
Eli clearly plans to enter 2020 hungover.
About time that this show do something Christmas-themed.
Eli, please don't puke on the carolers.
Nice to see the crowd enjoy the carolers.
And here comes Aldis and his crew! It would be so funny if Eli staggered over to Aldis and puked on him.
Personalized track jackets. That's...a way to do some team bonding.
"WE WORKED EVERYONE INTO A SHOOT, BROTHER!"
I bet Aldis has underwear with the NWA logo on it.
Match #3 - Melina, Thunder Rosa, and Marti Belle vs. Allysin Kay, ODB, and Ashley Vox
I remember ODB from TNA back in the day.
Yeah, I can imagine that any of the women on Melina's team would want to face Allysin Kay. After all, she is the Women's Champion. She's got a big target on her back.
I never got that bit with the faces arguing with the ref. You're helping the heels beat up your teammate!
Winner: Thunder Rosa, Melina, and Marti Belle via pinfall.
Well, since Thunder Rosa got the pin, who does she want to face?
It's interesting to hear her speak English. Yeah, she can in real life, but I thought her only speaking Spanish in character made her stand out a bit.
Hey Melina, let Rosa pick! This could be a seed for dissension in the future...
I doubt that's an actual law firm...
Tim Storm is facing Nick Aldis next week in the TV Title Tournament? That's really interesting.
Happy Birthday, Mama Storm!
Main event time!
Match #4 - NWA TV Title Qualifying Match - Colt Cabana vs. The Question Mark
I'm amazed by how well-received the Question Mark was. They struck gold with the guy.
I like how the rectangle counts down with the actual clock.
Cabana trying to get in the quick pins.
Winner: Question Mark by pinfall
Well, this has been a rather fun episode. I liked the gimmick of the TV title tournament matches. It'll be neat to see Tim Storm and Nick Aldis collide again. And I can't help but think that maybe Aldis is in the tournament because he wants to consolidate as much of the gold as he can. Being a dual champion would serve to make him more powerful storyline-wise. I liked the segment with Royce Isaacs and James Storm. That was pretty funny. Also, Melina choosing Thunder Rosa's opponent for her. It could hint about Melina being more controlling in the future. This was a fun episode, and I can't wait to see the next one!
Thanks for reading this blog entry! If you liked it, spread it around! See you next time!
