2020-12-08 NWA Shockwave Ep. 2

Good morning, good afternoon....good evening whenever it is you have found this entry.  Today, 2020-12-10, I am checking out the latest NWA show Shockwave from Dec. 8th.  I have not really kept up with the NWA during the Pandemic so I am excited to see what is going on.  I really liked what I saw prior to the end of the world so I think I will like this too!

• Joe Gali's "announcer" voice is kind of annoying
• No ring entrances....that is weird
• I do like Kamille, she has a great look
• Brickhouse is a horrible nickname!
• CeeCee, as the announcers are calling her, needs to get better ring gear, I do not care to see her ass.  That goes with most women with their asses hanging out
• That is not a splash in the corner that is an avalanche!  When did we stop that name?
• Kamille also needs to change her gear slightly in my opinion, she needs more of those gladiator type things that she has some of
• Those are ugly kicks by Simone, Kamille had her hands up and it was way too obvious
• Uggg, can we ban the spear from everyone but Roman Reigns for the next five years!
• I do love me some Aaron Stevens!!
• No one has changed Watts since 1987 and that was for Bill
• I wonder why Drake has not been picked up by NXT at this point.  He can talk for sure and is not bad in the ring either
• I have to say these guys are having a really good match and Watts is holding his own
• Interesting using the fallaway slam when he is not a power guy it seems
• I like the idea of working on Drakes back and he is doing it well
• I like the camera men with masks
• I know some people do not like the ramp up to the ring but I always have.  
• I do not know who these announcers are but I am willing to be a lot of people have powerslammed Watts
• Watts is almost 7 feet tall?  Really?
• Nice sitout chokeslam but that should only be used as a finisher
• No follow up to that match between Drake and Watts?
• Will Kelly pull out a bloody tampon do you think?  
• Uggg, I hate Kelly's gear
• Wait Kelly was at home crying because of a six-month injury?  I thought she said 6 years!
• I hate random somersaults and flips in matches
• Seriously did Kelly's gear get lost so she is wrestling in her Lingerie?  
• I am very impressed with these two even with Kellys questionable past and gear choices
• Is there an official in this match?  They have been on the outside for what feels like five minutes!

A really good show.  I like the presentation with the wrestlers starting in the ring, while the entrances are interesting right now without the audience why have it?  I think all of the matches were a little long.  Kamille should have destroyed CeeCee/Simone (why were they calling her both names?).  I am talking Goldberg like.  That is how she should be booked till she challenges Thunder Rosa for the title.  Drake and Watts, while fine for what it was went long too as I said above Drake just is not sympathetic since we know his persona.  Lastly, the Main event just went on forever!  Both women worked very hard and were very good in the ring it needed to lose about half the match.  And then for it to end the way it did move wise....that is the problem with modern wrestling.  They do everything they do in the match and then a simple modified slam is the finish?  But overall a very solid show and I am being a bit picky to be honest.  

Results

• Kamille def. Simone Sherie
• Interview:  Aaron Stevens (NWA National Champion)
• Eli Drake def. Watts
• Interview:  Priscilla Kelly
• Thunder Rosa (NWA Womans Champion) def. Priscilla Kelly for the Title

2019-10-22 NWA Powerrr review

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening...whenever it is you have found this entry.  Today I am watching the third episode of NWA Power(rr).  I have loved the first two episodes and cannot wait to get to this one so enough of this boring intro and lets get to the card!

• It is interesting that Melina is in the intro yet we have not seen her on the show yet
• Now I notice there are several people we have not seen yet.  Very interesting
• There is the man who anything he says becomes a major issue, Jim Cornette.  My personal spirit animal
• Kingston is great on the mic and good in the ring, surprised WWE or AEW has not signed him up over the years
• Been a while since I have seen Marti Belle
• How old is Crystal?  12?
• Oh man Corny just said something out trouts, the trout people will be after him!
• Pedigree and it is over
• Nice short and sweet, that is what I love about this show
• I like the Dawsons, that different look and true heels
• What is Stevens wearing and why do I love it?
• Why is Stevens no on Raw or Smackdown every week?
• This cannot be real!
• A lot of old Impact Wrestling people on these shows
• Parker is so skinny he needs to run around in the shower to get wet
• It is NOT an enziguri if it is to the ear, it literally means kick to the back of the head
• Have I said before that Tim Storm looks like Paul Orndorff?  Because he does
• Mama Storm might be the second most famous Mama in wrestling after Cornette
• Is Eli Drake a heel or babyface
• What is with these commercials?  
• What a superkick from James Storm
• Is Aldis losing his accent?
• Where is this storyline going with Kamille I wonder
• Tim Storm and Eli Drake as a team?  Who is going to turn on who though?  I see Tim Storm turn personally
• Uggg, back tag
• That bulldog will break your neck....or make you a gigolo
• Drake and Storm are a pretty good team actually
• Dave needs to get that bearhug more snug, too much daylight there
• I am shocked that this has been almost all Drake and Storm with the Dawsons being seemingly pushed
• They need a better finisher but I like the Dawsons
• That was an abrupt ending

Another good show but I did not like the way the show ended.  Let me rephrase that, I did not like that the show ended when it did.  Why was Aldis out there?  Will we find out?  Aside from that another good show.  The matches are a great length, nothing feels like it is dragging through multiple segments just because.  The interviews are good and fun.  Again a great show and worth checking out.N

Results

• Segment:  Joe Galli
• Interview:  Eddie Kingston
• Marti Belle def. Crystal Rosa
• Interview:  Dave Dawson/Zane Dawson
• Segment:  Thunder Rose

2019-10-29 NWA Power Review

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening...whenever it is you have found this entry.  Today I am checking out the 4th episode of NWA power(rr).  It debuted on 2019-10-29.  Will we see a follow up to Nick Aldis, Tim Storm and Eli Drake?  What will happen after James Storm seemed set to kick Colt Cabanas head off his head?  I cannot wait to see what happens!

• I love the recaps each week
• James Storm is a great interview and Colt is a fun interview
• Fun way to start the show, four top guys
• I love the way Nick Aldis is making it important to get a shot.  Give everything or get nothing
• They are really pushing this Kamille storyline and I am intrigued and have no clue where they are going
• I have missed Murdoch
• I do not know what to think about Jocephus but I kind of like the crazy man gimmick
• I love that they are keeping up with the no eye contact rule
• Ricky Starks is getting pushed for sure but I will reserve judgement
• Interesting that they are already doing a No DQ match.  Seems early to start doing big gimmick matches but that is modern wrestling
• Good grief that can not feel good for Eddie
• A headshot with a chair...wow 
• Not seeing it every week makes it more devastating!
• Why did they attack the Dawsons but then help them win?
• I like the announcers are asking the same thing
• What the hell was that?  Patty Cake?
• Roaring Elbow, very well executed
• A nice surprise win for Vox...who needs new ring gear, that top is awful
• What is with the music?  There is no music in the NWA....until now
• Did Stark cheat and hook the trunks?  Sure looked like it to me
• Stevens is more over after the loss I love it!
• Very interesting teams
• I do not get Colt.  He is better than average yet he does all the goofy stuff.  Is it because it is easier and less on his body?  Is he really smarter than the average bear?  I am beginning to think so!
• Anderson can not do that rolling slam very well, nothing like Fit Finlay.  Always think he is going to spike himself and break his own neck

Another good show but another abrupt ending.  Also no follow up to the Drake/Tim Storm issue is disappointing.  Interesting debut for Thunder Rosa and a shocking win for Ashley Vox.  This show seemed slightly off for some reason.  I assume it is because they are setting up the next storylines but the worst show thus far which makes it still better than most of the other shows out there.

2019-10-15 NWA Powerrr Ep 2 Review

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening....whenever you find this blog.  I loved the first episode and cannot wait to see this one. It is wrestling the way I remember and the way I love it....wait...I feel like that is not the NWA tag line but you know what I mean!

• Great recap of Tim Storm and Nick Aldis last week
• It is weird that I feel this show is better produced than a certain show on TNT
• SANDOW IS BACK!
• How has WWE not picked Sandow back up?  If for nothing else to be a manager because the man can talk
• Love that the interviewer is going along with the no eye contact thing, love this already!
• Where did they dig Murdoch up from?  I am a huge fan of his
• It is a little weird with no music but makes them so different
• I want to see Murdoch and Beer City Bruiser as a team!!
• Damn awesome missile dropkick!
• Love that the match ended without a finisher, we need more of that
• Not sure about this Ricky Starks kid because this interview is not all that good
• Is Starks a good guy?  Because he is coming off as heel 
• Colt is a strangely good looking guy.  I am surprised WWE did not use him better....but then again I am not
• Ugggg, he is still doing the stupid asshole thing?
• Already making it like they do not get along, interesting....
• PELE KICK!!!
• Kingsley is taking a hell of an ass-kicking
• I hope they do not keep allowing no hand tags, I hate that as does Corny
• Where did they dig up Tony Falk?  Good grief 
• I have been a fan of Allysin for a while now going back to when she was in Impact
• Damn that was right on her tailbone
• I like this youngster Vox
• Way too many somersaults in wrestling
• I liked Allisyn covered up from the chops instead of just taking it
• OH MY GOD!  I hate that move, that will break someone's neck
• Did they just cut that interview short?
• Tim Storm deserved that standing ovation
• Homicide is looking old
• What is up with Issacs weird wrist stuff?
• The Dawsons are showing up to show they are dominate, love it!
• Camille is a lovely young lady
• Interesting that they are making Aldis kind of a bully but Camille is going along with it

Another great show from the NWA!  Corny and Joe are really starting to gel as a team.  Guys like James Storm and Cabana can carry the younger guys to good matches and help them grow into better performers.  Wild Cards are solid performers and I think this Stark kid might be something special as well.  Another great show and I cannot wait to watch next week.

2019-10-08 NWA Powerrr review

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening....whenever it is you have found this entry.  Tonight I checked out the first episode of NWA power(rr?).  I do not know what to expect.  I know Jim Cornette loved it but he might be biased.  Lets go to my thoughts...

• Tim Storm has such a great old school look!
• Uggg, I already hate the fans chanting NWA
• Corny is looking GREAT!
• Nick looks ike a champion does he not?
• Wow, who is that with Nick? 
• Nick has done a great job of losing his accent but not completely to make it better for us American to understand him
• The J-O-B, throwback to Dusty and Ric!  LOVE IT!
• Already loving this show!!!
• Love what JC just announced the refs name!  They are part of the show too guys
• Love a good squash!
• I can get behind those Dawson Boys!  The one is my bearded brethren!
• Is that really Austin Idol!?!?!
• Honestly, if it was twenty years ago I would be going to learn from Austin Ido
• E-Li-Drake!  Huge fan and surprised NXT did not sign him up
• Two former Impact Stars here and already bigger stars here
• I love the old school feel to the show.  Easily my favourite show in months already!
• I feel like I am watching old school NWA with the show.  I am in wrestling HEAVEN...minus the fans....
• Who is Jocephus but I like him!
• I LOVE JAMES STORM!!!!
• I hate the flipping spear
• How has Eddie Kingston not been on a national stage?
• I think Jocephus is one of my new favourites!
• And that fast I guess he is not going to be featured going forward
• I hope at 50 I look 25% as good as Tim Storm!
• That was bad, Aldis going across the ring after a buckle shoot
• FIGURE FOUR!!!
• That is the first time that I have heard an announcer say that it affects both legs just differently....which it does!
• Uggg, I hate wrestling fans and their chants and shits
• I hope they do not have Storm tap, just have him pass out
• Why are the fans chanting NWA instead of Storm?

That is easily my favourite show in months as I said earlier.  The pacing was fantastic!  The old school feel (minus the stupid fans chanting the companies name instead of the wrestlers) was awesome.  The wrestlers are old school.  I love Aldis and Storm (both of them).  The tag team of the Dawsons is old school and fun.  Corny is easily my favourite announcer right now (sorry JR).  This is what wrestler was growing up and I loved it.  Forget AEW this is the wrestling show EVERY fan should be watching!!
