Did not think I'd end up watching this but a slightly clipped fan cam popped up on youtube and that seemed like the funniest way to watch it, and it was. Tyrus looks so weak doing everything, most of his strikes miss by a mile and he of course gasses out despite the last few minutes of this match being him laying around during ref bumps.

This week's NWA USA episode is the worst half hour of wrestling I have ever seen.

WMOTYC: Blake Troop vs Jeremiah Plunkett
WMOTYC: Natalia Markova defeats CJ

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-6mM8PkbH4&t=672s

I was going to skip this show because March Madness was on but I was given the heads up that this show is historically bad and it was bad in ways I didn't expect. The opening match is Wrecking Ball vs the retired cancer survivor Bobby Fulton in an unsanctioned match except there's no match it goes to an immediate no contest after a punch and three run ins. So I will not be nominating it as cagematch doesn't even recognize it as a match and it was better than what follows by virtue of not happening.

The video like starts at the intros for Blake Troop and it's worth watching just that. Blake Troop has some awful looking gear. He's also really bad and Jeremiah Plunkett isn't much better. The execution in this match is really terrible and Blake Troop doesnt know how he is supposed to position his opponent to apply his finisher. How?

Then the main event, Markova vs CJ in what is a terrible 3 minute comedy match that even Vince Russo would think is running a bad joke into the ground. It's really incredible that the NWA's only economic and critical success in the last 3 years is Empower and they follow it up by giving women 4 minute matches on their youtube shows and then stuff like this.

NWA Power 3/28

WMOTYC: Dak Draper & Mims vs. Blunt Force Trauma

Ok, so Dak and Mims have a tag title shot on the PPV, but first they have to face BFT. If they lose, BFT get the title shot. So what do we do for a finish? Maybe the worst finish you'll see all year! I'll spoil it for the 0 people who care about watching the NWA unspoiled, especially for a 5 minute match.

Aron Stevens runs to ringside, the announcers tell us he's banned from ringside. The ref is looking right at him, but keeps counting out a member of BFT. Aron Stevens goes over to their opponents to hit them with a weapon. Faye Valentine comes out and stops him. The ref sees this, stops counting and goes to the time keepers table. Faye then slaps one of the BFT guys, the ref then ejects Faye and the announcers tell us the match has been thrown out so Dak and Mims keep their title shot.
