NWA Powerrr Episode 6 brings us more questions than answers, atleast that’s what it says on the tin! Jordan Huie of the Overtimer here to give you the play-by-play, albeit a week late… better late than never. We’ve got an NWA Powerrr Double Header here, so let’s get started!
Galli and Cornette introduce us to our show, where we will hear from new champ Colt Cabana, and see Outlaw Inc. take on the Wildcards.
With great pomp and circumstance, David Marquez introduces us to the Rock ‘N Roll Express. They are of course extremely over, big chant. Robert Gibson is excited to see Kingston and Homicide get their shot at the world tag team titles. Warns the people to never ever count them out. Morton says NWA is #1. Kingston and Homicide emerge to shake their hands. Kingston calls Ricky and Robert the greatest tag team in wrestling history. Says we could do the rah-rah, but that’s not what we do, just being straight-up and honest; with Rock and Roll’s approval, they don’t see how they could lose.
Trevor Murdoch vs. Caleb Konley
Lock-up, side headlock, Konley shoots him to the ropes but eats a shoulder block. Leap frog, arm drag blocked but Konley gets a monkey flip, standing dropkick! Forearm, chops in the corner. Whip to the opposite corner, charge, Murdoch catches him out of the air with a spinebuster! Pulls him up, big shot to the face. Murdoch hooks him, elbow to the face. Driving knee. Takes him up, body slam. Nails a second one. Chant of “One more time” and Murdoch gives ’em that, third bodyslam! Takes him to the corner, charge, double footstomp to cut him off! Konley with a blow, blocked, but he gets a leg trip, senton! Waistlock, Murdoch reverses, Konley with a trip, double foot stomp to the chest! Cover for a nearfall. Springboard moonsault, Murdoch gets the knees up! Full nelson slam. Top rope bulldog seals the deal.
Winner: Trevor Murdoch
Definitely been impressed with Murdoch, another good momentum building win here.
Recap of the two of three falls match where Ricky Starks made easy work of Aron Stevens. Galli brings Stevens out. He’s here in the Captain Morgan blouse but seems to be wearing nothing from the waist down. Stevens claims that he is finished, no longer part of the NWA or professional wrestling. What happened here last week was a miscarraige of justice. “Na na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye” song plays. Stevens says it’s obvious why Broadway isn’t located in Hotlanta, boos. Says he’s done, he quits! He is going back to that locker room to put his pants on, and right now in front of God and everybody, he will hit the button that confirms his new role in Shogun Of Malibu, and go back to Hollywood, never to return to this hellhole again. So in the words of his great great great great great grandfather, he bids them all a fond adieu.
Recap of Marti Belle attacking Kay at the behest of Thunder Rosa.
Thunder Rosa & Marti Belle vs. Krystal Rose & Brooklyn Creed
Creed starts with Marti, gets an arm wringer, tag to Rose who keeps the arm wringer on. Quick tags to keep control of Marti. Marti with a pump kick to Creed, tag to Rosa. Rosa drives Creed into the corner, wicked knife edge chop. Rolls away, charging clothesline, double knees to the face! Clips Rose off the apron, running hesitation dropkick to Rose! Off the top rope with a double footstomp to the back, Marti knocks Rose off the apron as Rosa makes the cover for the easy win.
Winners: Rosa & Belle
Afterwards, they go over to Marquez, Rosa gets in his face and it seems he’d rather talk to Marti. He asks her why she joined up with her. Marti says she barely knows Rosa, but she knows that this is where her future is and she doesn’t care about her past. Rosa speaks Spanish, Marti translates for her. She has a vision, a passion. There is a phoenix who is coming back, and Allysin Kay has no idea what is coming to her.
We see the Who Is The Mark? video once more.
We see Cabana pinning Storm for the National title, before cutting backstage to see Storm furiously claim that he was robbed and everyone saw him. Demands a rematch before saying forget it, he’s got bigger fish to fry. He’s not worried about the tadpoles, he’s coming for Nick Aldis, the big killer whale.
Marquez brings out Cabana. He lets us know he is excited, notes that he sounded like Oprah there, tells the crowd, “You get a championship, you get a championship!” His title win wasn’t just for him it’s for everyone at home. Mentions once more how Storm beat him when his leg was injured and his ego was too big, he had to accept the match. But when they came together on an even field he walked away champion once more.
Ricky Starks emerges, eyes locked on that title. Cabana tries to just keep going on Storm before awkwardly saying, “Ricky Starks I don’t know what you’re doing out here.” Starks says that crocodile leather is his pleasure but he’s sold on gold…
The Question Mark vs. Dan Parker
The Question Mark emerges in an oldschool masked weirdo attire. Big chop to the back of Parker. Chant of “Question Mark” as Parker gets an uppercut on him in the corner. The Mark with a boot up, goes up top, missile dropkick! Big throat thrust, Parker takes a beautifully overdone bump for it landing on his head, The Mark pins for the win!
Winner: The Question Mark
Quick squash, nice little debut. I’m sure this will be an angle for a while, as everyone wants to figure out who the Mark is. My only real guess is Jocephus, he seems to have the same build and he’s a wacky enough character to do something like this.
RetroMania Wrestling ad plays.
We then see a vignette of Thunder Rosa’s real life journey through MMA, hyping up a documentary video that will be up on NWA’s YouTube channel. It’s called “Into The Cage”.
Galli and Cornette discuss knowing less now than when we started as it pertains to Kamille. Galli has been curious about it for months and he’ll get to the bottom of it if it takes forever.
Eli Drake makes his way out to speak to David Marquez. Says everybody is wondering why is Kamille not talking? Is maybe Nick Aldis keeping her from talking? Says he doesn’t give a good goddamn because it’s not about the why but the what. He thinks Aldis might be concerned that some truth might come out of those lips. He knows and she knows that if she unleashed the words to come out of that mouth, she might say that there is one man and only one man who is breathing down Aldis’ neck, one man who can take the 10 pounds of gold. One name in her mind… crowd chants “Question Mark”. Eli says everybody else can talk question marks, he’s making an exclamation: the one name on her mind is Eli Drake!
Surprisingly, the Wildcards emerge to tell him off. Lattimer tells him not stick his nose in his business. Eli asks what this has to do with him. Lattimer says it has everything to do with him so keep your mouth shut. Eli says if there’s one man that can make her squeal it’s Eli – Royce cuts him off to again reiterate that he needs to mind his own business. Anderson sneaks up behind Eli and scares him. Anderson says if you’re looking for someone with a big mouth, he knows a guy. All you gotta do is say his name, don’t even have to say it three times. Whispers “Anderson… Anderson…” and yells BOO!
We see Billy Corgan talk about how amazing the NWA’s rise has been. Says they have a lot more planning, a lot more in store, teases how they’ll be expanding their programming. The Circle Squared series is likely part of what he’s teasing there.
Tony Falk’s got another commercial, promoting Tony Falk’s Wrasslin’ Farm. He claims they grow heels and babyfaces to help balance out the wrestling business. He gives two conflicting numbers to call if you’re interested.
Replay of Aldis’ conversation with Tim Storm.
Joe Galli introduces Nick Aldis, who sees and hears people in the NWA talking about what they deserve. As the REAL World’s Champion, he reminds everyone that the business owes them nothing, the NWA owes them nothing, the people owe them nothing. You go out there and earn everything you get. There’s a reason that Harley Race – God rest his soul – allowed him to stand next to him with their championship belts side by side, Says there’s a reason the NWA is where it’s at, and you’re looking at it. Says that he will sit out at ringside for this tag team match coming up and he will make sure that there is no shenanigans or funny business because if you’re gonna be a champion or contender, he’ll make sure you’re doing it the right way.

Winners: The Wildcards
We then close with an odd segment where the show’s theme plays, obscuring all dialogue as Aldis, Kamille, Eli Drake, The Dawsons, Colt Cabana, James Storm and eventually the Wildcards all find themselves bickering about something on the floor.
