NWA Powerrr 9/10/2024

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2024/09/nwa-powerrr-932024.html

Thom Latimer says he's been wrestling all his life. He says he has to do this. He said he never thought he would be in this position and be the person, man and champ he should be. He says to be the champ is everything. He says he busts his butt everyday and eats stuff he doesn't want to everyday because he needs to. He says he feels he's a leader but is still figuring things out.

Joe Galli and Danny Dealz welcome us to the show. Joe is pouring out shots.

Kyle Davis and Matt Cardona are in the ring with wrestlers. They say the next Mid-America champ will be crowned here. Matt says he'd be the new Mid-America champ if he could wrestle now. He tells whoever wins to never forget that he's always ready.

Thoughts: This was totally random. There was no announcements about this one and I've never seen 2 of these guys on the show before. The last thing this company needs is another title. It was a four-way and had the usual limits those matches have. It wasn't anything too great but I liked Drake's dive off of JP's back.

Kyle Davis interviews Father James Mitchell. He said Natalya Markova screwed herself by getting into a match that would not be for the TV Title. He says they are moving on to better things. He says they are coming for Kenzie Page's Women's Title and are coming now. He says they will send her back to a trailer in a body bag.

Idol double jump moonsaults him for 2. Idol top rope crossbodies him for 2. Drake eye pokes him and rolls him up with his feet on the ropes and wins.

Thoughts: It didn't really work. They just didn't get the flow of it right and the spot with Idol not being able to get to the outside was poorly done.

I've never seen Boz before and I don't know how he earned this shot as he has not been on TV.

Thoughts: It was a shorter one here. No one did anything wrong and it was an average match. Thom won here as expected.

He says it's the most important day of his life as he faces EC3 for the NWA World Title. He says he has to close a chapter on being the NWA National champ and says he wants the fans to be proud of him. He says he has to do this for him and seemingly vacates the belt.

Kylie and Ella get on the 2nd rope and both fall down onto tacks and legos. Kylie hits shots on Starr, who is really bleeding. Kylie codebreakers Starr. Kylie basement dropkicks Starr in the corner wins.

Thoughts: It was a hardcore tag here mostly focused around weapons usage. They did a good job with it and Starr did a big blade job for it. I had no issues with this one and enjoyed it. I just wish they would have done a better job with this feud as it didn't get featured the way it should have.

Overall thoughts: It had the usual issues NWA has with random matches and random wrestlers. I liked the main and thought it was the only real thing of note here. I wouldn't recommend this one.
