NWA Powerrr - Episode 11

The show started with Trevor Murdoch announcing that he's signed a contract with NWA. This is good news because I think he's a good fit for the promotion. Zicky Dice interrupted  him and might have taken a jab at AEW. The Pope, a gentleman I'm not familiar with, but others seemed to know showed up and said he wanted to form his own version of the Four Horseman. He then went on to do commentary for the opening match.

This match was  TV Title Tourney match between Ricky Starks and Eddie Kingston. The quick Starks was overpowered by Kingston most of the match. However, in the end Starks pulled out the victory. This was a great match.

Royce Isaacs came out for a promo with Dave Marquez. He brought out a new female talent, May Valentine. Isaacs whispered something into Marquez's ear that seem to catch him off guard. It was something seemingly very dirty. James Storm came out, insulted Valentine, and challenged him to a fight.

There was a new HighSpots.com commercial.

Isaacs kept getting good luck kisses from Valentine, to the annoyance of everyone else. During this segment Bennett showed his comedic chops, taking a few nice jabs at Joe Galli. Isaacs and Storm had a match. Storm beat him up a bit and Isaacs left. Storm and the ref did a count out and towards the end it sounded like a set-up for Orange Cassidy's amazing kicks. It was a cool moment and made me like James Storm more.

Eli Drake came out with a bottle of champagne and appeared to be drunk and/or high. He had a wonderful manic energy about him though and his promo was entertaining. After he wandered around Jocephus singing "Oh Come All Ye Faithful" and I got confused.

Nick Aldis and group came out and handed gifts to his team. Marquez asked him about Ricky Morton. The Rock'n'Roll Express came out and Aldis said Morton was only back because of all the work he put in over the last two years. Morton had the perfect response, "You spent two years building this business, we've spent OUR LIFE building this." He apologized and said if he said anything to offend Nick Aldis that he apologized. They shook hands and Aldis threatened him.

The next match was a six-women's tag match. Melina, Thunder Rosa, and Marti Belle took on Allysin Kay, ODB, and Ashley Vox. The person who gets the pin gets to choose someone on the other team to wrestle. There were high points and low points of the match. Thunder Rosa gave delivered vicious chops to Vox. She won the match and seemed to be annoyed when Melina chose ODB to be her next opponent.

Tim Storm and Nick Aldis had their names drawn for the tourney next week. Tim got personal and cut an amazing promo. He said that Momma Storm turned 95. He talked about how his momma worked until she 78 because his dad left them with nothing and she had something to prove. He then quoted the greatest promo of all time. NWA knows how to cut some amazing promos and Tim Storm has worked his way into my heart and become one of my favorite wrestlers today.

The final mat was Colt Cabana vs the Question Mark for a TV Title qualifying match. I enjoy the Question Mark and I know he's so over, but I didn't like them putting him over Cabana, who I see as a living legend of the indy scene.

Just like the first episode of the season, this was an entertaining wrestling show. Stu Bennett adds class, experience, and some humor to the commentary. I like the new talent and the new angles. Also, Tim By God Storm is amazing!
