NWA Powerrr 3/4/2025

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2025/02/nwa-powerrr-2252025.html

We get some videos for the two cage matches tonight.

Danny Dealz and Joe Galli are our hosts.

There's an intergender match that I won't be covering.

Tiffany Nieves does a promo. She says tonight's the night everyone has been waiting for. She says it's the first women's cage match in the NWA. She says she's been waiting to get Natalia Markova one on one. She says it comes to an end right now. She says there's a generation who will never know who Markova is again.

We go to break and return. Tiff spears her for 2. Tiff goes for mounted shots but Nat blocks her. They both climb to the top of the cage. Tiff tries to shake her off but Nat shakes her off.

They fight on the top rope as they hold the cage. Nat kicks her and bangs her head off the top of the cage. Nat then stands on top of the cage and dropkicks her. Nat then picks up the win.

Thoughts: They did what they were supposed to here and had an okay cage match. Nat's dropkick off the top of the cage was a nice spot. Nat's face got bloodied up here. I had no issues with this and what we got was fine. 

Thom Latimer is interviewed. Thom says the cage is the most brutal match there is and says it separates the men from the boys. He says there's no more flukes or what if's after tonight. He said he used to be the king of all evil and says EC3 will know his name and fear it tonight.

We get a video on Duke City Championship Wrestling becoming an NWA affiliate. The promoter gets booed for it which I'm surprised they aired.

Thom 2nd rope backdrops EC. Thom tries to climb out of the cage and one of EC's buddies swings a chair at him. Thom is kind of back body dropped off the top rope. EC is given a chair. EC top rope diving chair shots Thom.

We go to break and return. EC chairs Thom. Thom is sent into the cage. EC then sits in the chair and talks trash to Thom. EC chairs Thom then sends him into the cage. EC throws a chair at Thom's head.

EC thesz presses him then pop-up powerbombs him. EC charges at Thom, Thom side steps him and sends him into the ref. Thom hits a rolling spear but the ref is down and can't count the pin. Thom climbs the cage and escapes but EC's buddies throw the outside ref into the cage. The ref doesn't see Thom escape.

Thom is beaten up by EC's buddies outside. Thom has the cage door slammed into him. Thom is thrown back in the cage. EC hits a jay driller for 2. EC is sent into a chair between the buckles. Thom hits a pop-up powerbomb then hits EC's headlock driver. Thom then hits a piledriver and gets the win.

Thoughts: It was an okay match. It was a little slower than it needed to and I thought it could have been a little more exciting. They didn't make as much out of the top rope moves that they could have. Thom escaping the cage but the ref's not seeing it due to being out was creative. I'm not sure where either guy goes from here. EC was beaten decisively and outside of Silas Mason, I don't know who there is for Thom to face.

EC's followers carry him out after.

Overall thoughts: I didn't watch the intergender match and it was random anyway. What I did see though was good. Both cage matches were built up to for a while and were good matches. The men's cage had a clever spot with Thom escaping the cage when the refs were out, so nobody actually saw him escape, meaning the match went on. Again, if you skip the intergender match, this was one of the NWA's better efforts and was a good show. Neither cage match was must see though.
