Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2024/03/nwa-powerrr-3192024.html 

They talk about Austin Idol betraying Joe Cazana, breaking his nose. They said he enlisted Anthony Andrews, who was AJ Cazana's former partner along with Zyon. They said the Cazana's are fighting back and wonder who will win this war. Tonight is AJ Cazana vs Zyon in an NWA National Title Tournament Qualifier.

NWA National Title Tournament Qualifier - Magic Jake Dumas vs Burchill 

No intros for either guy here and Magic is shouldered out. Burch is thrown into the steps then his hand is stomped on the steps. Burch's shoulder is sent into the 2nd buckle. Burch back elbows and snapmares him then hits kicks. Burch hits boots in the corner then misses a charge, going into the post shoulder first.

Magic codebreakers Burch's arm then legdrops Burch's arm. Magic slams him and pulls his arm around the 2nd rope. Burch does a one armed backdrop and his other arm is turning purple in real time Burch does the garvin stomp on Magic then knee drops him.

Magic bangs Burch's arm off the mat then misses a top rope moonsault. Burch running knees Magic then double underhook ddt's him for the win.

This was interesting as Burch got his arm worked on then made his comeback. We could literally see it turn more purple as the match progressed. I've never seen that happen before. 

Pretty Empowered do a promo on Natalya Markova. They call her the little engine that could never. They say her life story is pitiful. They said her story will not end successfully at Hard Times. They say Hard Times will just be Hard Times for Markova.

Unsanctioned Match - Alex Misery vs Mecha Wolf

 

No intro for either guy here. Wolf stomp flurries him to start then Alex flying hurricanrana's him. Alex dropkicks him out then Mecha spears him off the bottom rope. Mecha does a nice dive, probably getting 5 feet out of the ring off of it. They fight outside. Alex is thrown into the power station lighting rig. Alex climbs the top of it and dives onto Wolf.

They get back in and Alex step up knees him in the corner. Alex bulldogs him. Wolf throws him up and kicks him in the back on his way down. Wolf drops Alex with a chop and punch. Alex hits forearms and flips over him off the 2nd rope. Alex hits a neckbreaker then ripcord spinning high kicks him. Alex takes a pop-up powerbomb for 2.

Alex hits an os cutter for 2. Alex misses a 450 then enzugiri's him. Alex gets release german suplexed off the top then Wolf flying knees him to get the win.

It was fast paced and I thought it was decent. Alex really has something as a Darby Allin clone.

EC3 does a promo. He said the greatest challenges in life are the challenges you must face head on. He said he will brawl on the streets to forever be champ. He said he must do things different to be the greatest NWA Champ. He said he knows Silas wants to be the man. He said he intrigues him and has everything it takes to be the man. He said he's not there yet though and there's another level he has to ascend to. He said Silas wants to be the man, but EC3 says not yet.

Magnum Muscle (Mims and Dak Draper) vs Tim Storm and Jax Dane

Jax backs up Mims and Mims is coming off losing to a woman. Mims takes a double shoulder then Tim yanks on Mims' arm. Tim backbreakers Mims over his knees then Mims hits a flying shoulder. Dak is back body dropped and he lands on Mims.

Tim goes for the claw and Mims trips Tim. Tim's leg is banged off the apron then Dak spinning toe holds Tim. Mims ddt's Tim's leg then Dak yanks on it. Tim hits punches on Dak then Dak spinning toe holds him again. Dak misses a springboard back elbow.

Jax and Mims are tagged in. Jax headbutts him then throws him into Dak. Jax samoan drops him then Tim claws Mims. Jax hits a big spear on Mims then camel clutches him. Dak teases saving Mims but doesn't and Mims taps out.

It was a decent match with Tim getting his leg worked on, tagging out then Jax getting the win off the hot tag. They also pushed issues between Dak and Mims here.

May Valentine interviews The New Spectaculars 2.0. Rolando Freeman laughs at Eric Smalls. He says he will always be small. He says Knox and Murdoch are dangerous. He said he had a taste of them though and said they feel disrespected that Slade hasn't had the proper introduction he deserves. Slade said he's the only All-American athlete in the NWA. He said they will find out why they will never be as Spectacular as them.

NWA National Heavyweight Title Tournament Qualifier - AJ Cazana vs Zyon

Joe Cazana is suspended, so Bobby Fulton is out there with AJ. They lock up a couple of times then Zyon side headlocks him. Zyon goes up and over then AJ shoulders him over. Zyon boots him then takes a fireman's carry takeover.

AJ slams Zyon and elbow drops him several times. Zyon takes a break outside then they chop each other out there. Zyon knees him as he gets into the ring then stomps on him. Zyon neckbreakers him for 2. Zyon cranks on AJ's head.

Zyon kicks him in the ribs and they trade more shots. AJ lariats him over and puts him over the top rope. AJ kneelifts him then gets on the bottom rope for a suplex. AJ running lariats Zyon then fallaway slams him. AJ misses a vader bomb then Zyon top rope crossbodies him for the win.

It was an average match for the most part. Not too many big highlights here or anything but there wasn't anything bad about it.

Overall thoughts: The opener was interesting as we saw Burchill's arm swell up as the match progressed. You could immediately tell he broke something. Wolf and Misery ended before anyone could overdo it and it ended up being decent because of it. Magnum Muscle vs Storm and Dane was fine and the main was average. It was okay overall but not great.
