NWA Powerrr Episode 15, My Thoughts

It's time once again to feel the powerrr with the National Wrestling Alliance! Last time, we saw some advancement of the NWA TV Title Tournament, and Ricky Morton got a shot at Nick Aldis's NWA Championship! Let's see what happens next in this big show before the next NWA PPV: Hard Times!


Man, Dokken's "Into the Fire" is a great song for this show.

Get some tea, Joe. That might help.

We got a rematch from the Into the Fire PPV!

I like Rosa's purple gear.

Match #1 - Thunder Rosa vs. Tasha Steelz

What a dodge by Thunder Rosa!

Nasty shot to the head by Rosa!

Steelz trying to fight back, by Rosa downs her!

And Rosa plants Steelz like a tree!

Winner: Thunder Rosa

Hmmm, you'd think if Melina has plans for Rosa, she'd let Rosa in on them?

Nick Aldis is out to make a statement, and he's going to do it at Ring of Honor's expense!

Royce Isaacs thinks he's awesome now that he's got himself a girlfriend.


Royce is like, "That is a nice tie, sir. I would like that tie."

The STOCKS are rising!


Joe's got a point there, Royce-y Boy. Mae just may be distracting me...

Uh, nobody is talking about your virginity, Royce...

This commercial was pretty good. I love how they make the effort to make it look cheap.

Match #2 - NWA TV Title Qualifier Match - Thom Latimer vs. Trevor Murdoch

I'm rooting for Trevor!

Sneak attack by Latimer! Latimer trying to beat Murdoch senseless quickly!

Despite the beating, Murdoch's still in this match!

Murdoch with the quick pin! MURDOCH'S GOT IT! MURDOCH QUALIFIES!

Winner: Trevor Murdoch

MURDOCH WON WITHOUT LAYING A SINGLE SHOT! WOW!


Anything can happen in the NWA!

So, Melina thinks Allysin Kay needs her ego balloon punctured, huh? Well, Mel's antics seem to show maybe Allysin isn't the one with an ego issue.

Yeah, Allysin likes to fight, Melina. Letting her get her paws on Marti Belle in a No DQ match? Hope you got Marti's affairs all in order. And Kay vs. Thunder Rosa at Hard Times looks like it will be fun.

Match #3 - Allysin Kay vs. Marti Belle (No DQ match)

Belle TAKING it to Kay!

Leaving the ring will not save you.

There needs to be barricades

Brawling in the crowd!

Kay's got a chair!

Don't fall for it, Kay! Give her the chair!

Ha ha, Belle fell for it.

OUCH! A FACEFUL OF CHAIR! And Kay gets the win!

Winner: Allysin Kay

Huh. This "Power of Self-Hypnosis" stuff totally does not seem like a scam.

And we got Eddie Kingston with Da Pope!

Pope is searching for "superpowers"...has he checked out the Xavier Institute? No shortage of superpowers there.

Hope Homicide is okay, Eddie.

Time for Aron Stevens' Mongrovian Karate demonstration!

They're chanting "Question Mark", you dolt.

Dear God, does the National Championship need a redesign. I get that it's based on the old-school design, but it could use an update.

DA POWAH OF DA QUESTION MARK!

He made that poor Mongrovian masked man cry, brah!

Maybe they should, Aron. Karate is no good against nukes.

Aron can't break that board.

AWW, BOARD TO THE BACK!

Ricky Starks, you clever son of a gun! Got one up on Aron again!


Hey, CW Anderson! I remember that dude!

And Caleb Konley! He's been seen on Powerrr in the past.

Match #4 - Last Chance TV Title Tournament Gauntlet

Anderson and Konley get to be the (lucky?) men to start the gauntlet match! Who will get a chance to win the TV title?

Anderson and Konley seem evenly matched.

Hey, Jocephus! Haven't seen him sice episode one! Bye, Jocephus! Man, he was eliminated quick!

And here comes Colt Cabana! He looks a little nervous about entering the ring!

Entry number five! Dave Dawson! Dawson was eliminated from the tournament by his brother Zane, so you can bet he's itching to get this opportunity!

Entry number six! NWA National Champion Aron Stevens!

What is he doing?

Oh, he's hiding under the ring!

And Zicky Dice is here to get some attention!


Entry number seven! Sal Rinauro! He's racing into the ring like Popeye after a spinach buffet!

Konley nearly got eliminated! And Dawson ends Rinauro's house-clearing!

And everyone pins Dawson! Dawson is out!

Entry number eight! Ken Anderson! And he eliminated Rinauro with a Mic Check!

Caleb misses the moonsault! Konley crashes and burns! And Anderson eliminates him with another Mic Check!

CW is gone! We got Anderson, Cabana and Stevens left! Stevens been hiding under the ring like a coward!

What is Question Mark doing?!

Whoops! And Stevens is gone!

Rollup outta nowhere on Cabana by Anderson! And Anderson gets the winner!

Winner: Ken Anderson

I think was the best match of the episode so far.

(thumbs up)

Aww, a nice friendly hug between tag partners MIC CHECK TO CABANA! That was completely unnecessary! Why, Anderson! Why?!

James Storm giving a shout out to Ricky Morton!

The Cowboy's definitely been drinking.


Eli should have given Ororo Munroe a shout-out!

It's kind of neat to see NWA working with other promotions.

Stevens vs. Steiner? That's...interesting.


Main Event Time! And Billy Corgan himself will be here on commentary! Yeah, he's a big wrestling nut, and he owns the NWA now.

Match #5 - NWA Championship Match - Nick Aldis (c) vs. NWA Tag Team Champion Ricky Morton

And of course, Nick Aldis has his Strictly Business cronies with him.

Count on Stu Bennett to deliver some news! And everyone is banned from ringside!

This has been quite an epic match!

Aldis grabs the tights!

Winner: Nick Aldis (Retains NWA Championship)

Looks like we may get that confrontation between Aldis and Marty Scurll down the line...

This was a fun episode! My favorite part was the Gauntlet match! I can't wait for the next episode!

Thanks for reading this blog entry! If you liked it, spread it around! See you next time!
