If you want to see what might be the worst half hour in wrestling TV since Russo's TNA peak watch the first half hour of NWA Powerrrrrrrr
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TI1yedgqi_4

You get:
Murdoch vs Beast Mode
An EC3 match (not very good but the best thing in the first half)
A terrible interview about equality with some guy and Madusa
And Gaagz the Gimp vs Sal the Pal in a Mask vs Hair match.

I've never seen Madusa as a brunette before, so at least there was a first.

Beast Mode got me to dive in a little deeper on recent NWA and it's so bad. Most matches are like 3 minutes long and main events are just stalling and about 3-5 minutes themselves. The backstage interviewer is really bad, Velvet Sky is awful as an announcer and there are skits like this which are just must see bad.

I recently learned that Murphy of TNA's Gunner and Murphy fame, who i had assumed just fell off the face of the earth after that brief stint in TNA, is currently in NWA in James Mitchell's stable alongside Sal the Pal and Gaagz the Gymp where his name is Mikael Judas

he's nearly 50 years old

Thankful the upcoming NWA PPV means we get lots of Billy Corgan interviews.

quote:

“Quote me on this in ten years. I think wrestling's biggest days are still ahead. As big as the NWA was, Vince made it bigger. People look at that and say, ‘Wow, that was massive.’ Yes, of course, WWE’s massive. But compared to UFC, compared to the NWA, there’s still room for growth. That’s why people are out looking at the WWE on the open market for sale because people realize there’s growth to go," Corgan said.

Co-host Andrew Zarian noted one wouldn’t want to invest in the wrestling industry if was seemingly flat, and Corgan noted that it was when he bought the NWA in 2017. He stated that the business is booming now, and there's a genuine opportunity for growth. Corgan shared his belief that wrestling's best days are ahead of it, and he referenced some of the ways that the business is changing.

“It was flat when I bought [NWA] five years ago, and now I get business people sending me stuff all the time, saying they can’t believe some of these earning reports they see from WWE, and I always write them back saying, ‘I told you, I’m not insane. This is not some kind of weird hobby. There’s a growth vector here.’ So what I would say to people in the [wrestling bubble] is stay focused on the fact that wrestling’s best days as a business, if you love the business, you love the performers, the best days are ahead of it. You see tension there with brand. The story with Sasha [Banks], leaving WWE and being on The Mandalorian, I mean, you see the rise of individual brands. Brock Lesnar of course left, went to UFC, became a bigger brand, and he raised his value, and works a part-time schedule for Vince, where 20 years ago they wouldn’t have allowed that. Those are small signs of what’s coming, and that includes Jake Paul coming in and stuff like that, or Bad Bunny," Corgan said.

The NWA President went on to state that the opportunity for wrestling to reach a larger platform on a global scale is unprecedented. He named social media as an important factor in that potential. Corgan also noted that he personal believes that the NWA can rise to a level that is even greater than the promotion of the past.

"The opportunity of wrestling to grow to an even bigger global platform and a larger global audience is unprecedented, and digital is very much a part of that, social media is a part of that. So stay focused on that. While you want to get into every little turf conversation, or you don’t understand why Billy’s over here in the corner doing what he’s doing, understand that my personal faith and my investment in it is I believe that the NWA can rise up to a level that is even greater than the NWA before. Now if you look at what I’m doing now, you’re gonna say he’s totally insane. But that’s what they said about my band and my musical life, and here I am, 35 years later, still going. So that’s how I feel about it, and I think there’s plenty of empirical that suggests that everything is still trending upwards," Corgan said.

I have watched the half of The World is a Vampire that aired and it's merely boring bad as the Americans all gassed out due to the elevation and the matches feature a lot of stalling and awkward offense. Hoping we get to see Tyrus vs Daga next week!

La Rosa Negra deserves better. Most of the women in NWA do. I saw Kamille once, and while she was boring (which could have been Allie Katch's fault) she managed to work the crowd pretty well. These kids sitting in front of us paid no attention all night but they absolutely hated her and were crazily cheering against her.

La Rosa Negra and Kamille is the only match with any sort of interest going into that show so it was very fitting watching that show and seeing them just ruin everything with that interview.

Kamille had an excellent match with Leyla Hirsch a long while back. For such a titan to have a great match with a tiny MMA scrapper I thought they both did great. Kamille just really is stuck in a poo poo organization
