NWA Powerrr - Episode 7

The 7th episode of NWA Powerrr started with a Nick Aldis. He talked about Kamille and her silence... because that's what NWA does. He then said that he would have an exhibition match with Trevor Murdoch. The crowd really didn't like that the belt wasn't online and boo'd Aldis. This actually brought something I'd noticed in previous episodes to the forefront. There was one extremely loud heckler and he was very distracting. The small size of the studio exacerbated this annoyance.

The match itself was good. Trevor Murdoch is a tough hoss. Murdoch put a great match with Aldis, but had a fake botch at the end of the match. I'm not surprised, because NWA doesn't want to make Aldis look weak.  The match has been edited. During it, Cornette made the following comment, "He's the only man I've ever known that can strap a bucket of fried chicken on his back and ride a motor scooter across Ethiopia." Wow... just wow. I don't think I need to explain why this is wrong. I don't care if it's a 30 year old joke, it shouldn't have been said. The comment has since been edited out, but the incident caused Jim Cornette to resign.

The Rock'N'Roll Express had a fun promo. It was rather short though and was followed by a Wilds Cards promo. Towards the end of this promo Latimer was asked about his connection to Kamille (something that hasn't been mentioned up to this point on Powerrr).

There was an amusing commercial for HighSpots.com.

The second match of the night was a lot of fun. Ricky Starks took on ?Question Mark? with Boom Boom Cabana on commentary. ?Question Mark? had the stronger showing throughout most of the match, though towards the end Starks starting coming back. However, Aaron Stevens came out and attacked Starks. He and ?Question Mark? joined forces and the masked man got two solid "Karate-tay!" strikes in before Cabana stopped a third.

Eli Drake called out Mr. Anderson. Instead of taking trash talk from the heel, Anderson challenged him to a match. It seemed like Drake had accepted, but as soon as Anderson's back was turned, Drake attacked him. He then grabbed a turnbuckle and hit him again.

Thunder Rosa and Marti Bell took on Allysin Kay and Ashley Vox. Bell showed her aggressive side in this match, which was cool see. Melina came down through the crowd, apparently being the phoenix Thunder Rosa spoke of the previous episode. This was enough to distract Vox and she was laid out by the heels.

There was another Kayfabe Cocktail commercial.

The final match saw Starks and Cabana teaming up against ?Question Mark? and Aaron Stevens. This continued a bit from earlier in the show which saw the crowd cheering ?Question Mark? and booing Stevens. This is the opposite of what happened when Stevens (as Sandow) teamed with Miz in WWE. During this match we learned more about ?Question Mark?. He is from the (obviously fictional) nation of Mongrovia. His special strike is known as the Mongrovian Spike. The match was an entertaining back and forth but ended when Starks tried to unmask ?Question Mark?. Stevens blindsided him while the ref wasn't looking and the pair won their match.

At the end of the show, James Storm did a promo ranting about how the show should be about championships, but they were pushed aside for silly games. Kamille came out and whispered into his ear. He smiled, said "Sorry about your damned luck," and walked out of the studio, ending the episode.

Despite the heckling crowd member, this was a good episode. The matches were fun and I love ?Question Mark?. He's just such a silly throwback character. I'm also happy that as of the end of the episode I only have to put up with Jim Cornette for one more show.
