NWA Powerrr 4/1/2025

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2025/03/nwa-powerrr-3252025.html

Thom Latimer is on the 2nd story of some building. He says he's just like these people in the street. He says he has everything they have. He says Aron Stevens lives in a fantasy world and thinks everyone else lives there too. He says he's not scared of him and says he will get his answer in time.

NWA World Jr. Heavyweight Title - Alex Taylor (c) vs Slade

Slade won this shot on 2/25 but it hasn't really been mentioned since.. Slade takes him down and waistlock takedowns him. Alex gets out of a wristlock then Slade trips him into an ankle lock. Alex ropebreaks. Slade hits punches and hits a belly to belly suplex.

Sladetakes a stun gun and Alex stomps on him. Alex suplexes him. Alex hits corner spears then pulls his neck forward. Alex hits punches then chinlocks him while on his back. Alex dropkicks him. Alex slams him.

Alex goes up top and takes a belly to belly suplex off the buckles. Slade hits punches and exploders him. Slade hits triple germans. Slade sunset flips him then jumping knees him. Slade lifts Alex. Alex takes his ear guards off. Alex ear claps him then hits a cradle shock to win.

Thoughts: The finish was clever here with Alex taking off Slade's ear guards. What we got was fine here in this harmless opener. 

We go back to the bar that they call The Southern Six Clubhouse. The two bartenders say Silas Mason's girlfriend has been going out and about. He says one of The Southern Six is hooking up with her.

No Limits Empty Arena Match - Ruthie Jay vs La Rosa Negra

Ruthie Jay turned on Rosa on 1/14/2025 which lead to this. Again, I don't think this has been mentioned since it happened.

Rosa takes her down and they both miss moves. They swing wildly at each other. Jay hits forearms and chops. Jay spinning high kicks her then hits mounted punches. Jay's neck is rammed into the corner then her head is banged off the buckles. Rosa hits boots in the gut in the corner.

Rosa is pulled over the top but hangs on. Jay dropkicks her off the apron. Jay's head is banged off the seats and the apron. Rosa topes her but gets caught. Rosa then pounds on her. Jay eye rakes her and bangs her face off the chairs.

Jay stomps on Rosa then rams her into the entrance stand. Rosa clubs and stomps on her. Jay is then dropped head first in a trash can. Rosa kicks the trash can while she's in it. Rosa is tripped into the entrance area.

Jay pounds on Rosa then meteora's her against one of the entrance stands. Jay gets dropped on a metal box then is chaired in the back. Rosa's head is banged off the floor. Jay calls her trash and throws a cup at her.

Both talk trash and Rosa talks trash in spanish. Rosa mule kicks her. Rosa is sent into the post then Jay chairs her. Jay airplane spin drops her on a chair for 2. Rosa sit out drops her on her chest.

Rosa misses a top rope splash. Jay chairs her then hits a bunch of chair shots to the gut to win.

Thoughts: It wasn't a bad match. The empty arena atmosphere helped us hear the trash talking. They got a lot of time and they did rough each other up some with the brawling. Even if it wasn't the most athletic match, I thought they got the right idea here and did a good job with this.

Kylie Paige is working out at the gym and struggling. She asks Burchill to help her. Burchill explains how to do the exercise. Paige then walks over to Bryan Idol. He asks what she's doing and says what she was doing with Burchill was weird. Idol's arm is in a sling. Paige asks where his female friend is. Idol says he has phone calls to make and has to go. Paige then complains to Burchill that Idol was being nosy. We then just cut away randomly.

We go to break then go back to the gym. Paige complains about Natalia Markova. Burchill makes a face and she says she's not crazy. She then runs into Natalia Markova and Bryan Idol. Markova tells her to say what she has to say to her face. Paige says she's not afraid of her and will do that. Paige says Markova keeps wanting title shots from Kenzie Paige but keeps losing. Idol says Kenzie is ducking her. Markova says she's just here to fight. Paige says she has the perfect opponent for her and it's Hunter (the NWA wrestler who has been flirting with Paige).

Thoughts: Well, it wasn't good but at least they are trying to do some backstage stuff and add some things to the show.

Colby Corino does a promo. He complains that he has to wrestle to get into the Jax Dane Tournament and fight from the 8th seed while Kerry Morton just gets in. Colby says no one will stand in his way and there's no one he can't put down for 3 seconds.

Jax Dane Memorial Heavyweight Tournament 1st Round - Colby Corino vs Silas Mason

SM waistlock takedowns him. CC front facelocks him and SM turns it into an ankle lock. SM slaps him in the back of the head. CC then slaps him back. SM takes him down and hits mounted shots.

SM hits shots to the shoulder and hits a nice short arm clothesline. SM misses an elbow drop. CC hits chops and forearms. CC hammerlocks him. CC trips him then slaps him around. CC dropkicks him into the buckles. CC corner cannonballs him. 

SM drops him face first on the buckles. SM misses a corner spear and is german suplexed for 2. SM hits a superplex for 2. CC hits chops and forearms outside. CC is sent into the post. SM pours a drink on him. CC's head is banged off the apron and SM stomps his hand. They fight on the buckles. CC hits headbutts and SM falls down. CC top rope swantons SM while he's seated.

They go back on the buckles and CC 2nd rope cutters him. Tyler Franks comes out for some reason. Kerry tries to do a running knee to CC but nails SM instead on accident. CC poisonrana's SM then pins him.

Thoughts: That was a surprise. It was a good match though with CC being a fiery underdog face and the two stiffing each other good on various shots. I really liked this one though it would have been nice to get a clean finish.

Thom Latimer says Aron Stevens tried to ruin him and threaten him and his family. He says it takes balls but it achieves nothing. Thom says he has already done that to himself. Thom says he's not scared anymore and says only his heart and his title matters. He says his heart tells him what he's doing is right. he says it's end of days for Aron.

Overall thoughts: All 3 matches were fine and had some build behind them though some of the matches weren't mentioned in months which hurt that. As I've said before, to really follow this show, you have to have your own database due to how far back to go to follow up on things. I liked what we got here and would give it a 6 out of 10. It was one of the better NWA episodes in a while.
