NWA Powerrr - Episode 5

The fifth episode of NWA Powerrr started with promos. First we had Colt Cobana and then an Aron Stevens one. Stevens was heckled the entire time and tried to sound clever by altering a Shakespeare quote.

This was followed with an extremely awkward looking Nick Aldis hyping RetroMania Wrestling, the official sequel to WWF Wrestlefest!, one of the all time greatest wrestling video games. I will be talking more about more as the release gets closer.

The first match saw the Dawsons take on Matthew Mims and Jordan Kingsley. The hosses tore through the other team, prolonging the match just to inflict more damage. This was a smart move because it just made them feel even more heel-ish. After the match the had an interview and claimed they deserved a title shot. Outlaw Inc offered them their title shot in exchange for a rematch (assuming the Dawsons won).

Tim Storm had an interview in which he talked about his future still being up in the air. Nick Aldis interrupted and pulled Tim aside. In a (not really) private moment, he told the elder wrestler that NWA was their house and they built it.

Thunder Rosa made her debut against Ashley Vox. The former Kobra Moon was quick and brutal. She gave stiff shots, illegal ones, went for vital areas. The match was great and Rosa won, but Jim Cornette had a line that just make me shake my head and ask wtf. He said, "She's scary. They put her picture in prison to scare the sex offendors." That joke isn't fresh and is just plain crass, much like Cornette. 

After the match, Thunder Rosa continued to attack. Marti Belle came out, but didn't step in the ring to help. Rosa offered her hand to her, but Marti refused. Marti then had a promo talking about how the champ, Allysin Kay, was her friend and how the champ's words really hurt her. Kay came out to chastise Marti for complaining to the crowd instead of talking to her and was ambushed by Rosa. Thunder Rosa through her in the right and hit her with some vicious blows. Marti entered the ring and instead of helping her friend, attacked her, much to Rosa's pleasure.

There was another promo for the Question Mark.

This was followed in an old fashioned best 2 out of 3 contest between Aron Rogers and Ricky Starks. Stevens were some horrid looking flesh colored tights and it was atrocious. The match was fun though. The first fall happened in around three seconds. Stevens tried to ambush Stark, the ref rung the bell, and Stevens fell to the most dangerous move in wrestling today.... the quick roll-up pin! The second round went a little longer and Stevens put up a good fight, but the hot headed baby face, Starks, ultimately won. My favorite part of the match was the over dramatic scream Stevens gave.

He's not naked, but he looks like he is.

The main event was Colt Cabana (with Mr. Anderson) vs James Storm (with Eli Drake). This was a good match with each athlete having the upper hand a few times. Cabana's unorthodox style was an interesting contrast to Storm's strong strikes. For reasons unknown, Kamille pushed Mr. Anderson into Drake, which distracted Storm long enough for Cabana to pin him.

Though the show technically should have been over the Dawson's came back out and accepted Outlaw Inc's challenge. It was a fiece match with a lot of hard strikes and power moves. The Wild Cards attempted to sabotage Outlaw Inc, but the Rock'n'Roll Express came out and took care of business. The show ended with the veterans raising the hands of Outlaw Inc.

This was a good show and packed with promos and good action. Powerrr just keeps getting better and better. I can't wait to see how my favorites are used.
