Aron Stevens is at The Stevens Academy. He says there's been talk of recent events but that's the past. He says he can look to the past. He says he will reveal something we have never seen tonight. He says he changes the world tonight.
NWA TV Title - Carson Drake (c) vs Tyler Franks
This has a 6:05 time limit. They lock up. CD clean breaks him in the corner and TF rolls him up for 2. TF backrolls him for 2. TF side headlock takeovers him. TF shoulders him over. TF trips him and CD ropebreaks.
CD hits some punches to the face. CD stomps on him in the corner. CD back elbows him for 2. CD does his dance and does a fist drop for 2. CD facelocks him. TF sleepers him. CD rolls him off. TF hits a dropkick. TF corner back elbows him. CD misses a corner charge then TF flipping neckbreakers him off the bottom rope.
TF is pushed into the buckles then CD hits the stroke for the win with 1:12 remaining.
Thoughts: It wasn't much of note. It was short and they didn't do anything too crazy here. CD won as expected. I have no idea how Franks got this shot.
Kyle Davis interviews Carson Drake in the ring. Drake says you can't beat him and laughs.
Kenzie Paige talks. She says she's the President of the NWA Territory System. She says she's the history maker and a double champ. She says if you want a change in the NWA, vote Kenzie Paige.
Bryan Idol asks you to vote for him for Territory President. He says he will tell it to you straight with no BS.
Pretty Empowered (Kenzie and Kylie Paige) vs The Money Birds (Ladybird Monroe and Gigi Rey)
Kenzie and Lady go at it. Lady rolls her up with a bridge. Lady trips Kylie and corner euros her. Kylie is snapmared and takes a sliding forearm from Rey. Rey corner forearms her then suplexes her. The Paige's are thrown into each other and take stereo backdrops.
Rey is thrown out and her head is banged off the buckles. Kylie double axe handles Rey then chokes her on the ropes with her leg. Kylie crossbodies her on the 2nd rope for 2. Ken and Rey go at it. Kylie snapmares Rey and sleepers her. Rey snapmares her over then step up enzugiri's her.
Rey is snapmared and sleepered again. Ken and Rey double clothesline each other. Lady comes in and gets offense on Ken. She lariats her. Lady goes up and over then slingblades her. Ken takes an ushigoroshi then Ken hits a jawbreaker.
Ken grabs her belt and hits Lady with it when the ref wasn't looking. Ken superkicks Rey then Ken picks up the pin.
Thoughts: It was fine. It was the first time we have seen the Paige Sisters together in a while. The Birds did fine on their comebacks here before being put dowm.
Joe Cazana does an ad to become President of the Territory System. He says he respects Trevor Murdoch but doesn't think he can run the NWA. He says, "It's Joe Cazana Time".
Hunter and Kenzie's dad talk at The Paige House. He says Bryan Idol is on his way and wants to tak to Hunter. Idol arrives. Idol says him and Natalia Markova run deep and are close. Idol said Hunter had to do what he did against her. He said he saw what he did. He said he was being corner and taking liberties with her. Idol said he asked for a match with Hunter. He says it won't be a regular match and Hunter will learn about respect.
We get an ad for EC3 for Terriroty President. Some unknown guy puts him over and says a vote for EC3 is a vote for you.
We see clips from the Jax Dane Tournament.
Kyle Davis interviews Kerry Morton in the ring. Kyle says he can become champ if he wins. Kerry says that's him. Kerry says his name comes up in the dirtsheets as he put @sses in seats. He says people come to watch him and he will show us when he becomes champ.
Jax Dane Tournament Semifinals - Kerry Morton vs Frank
Frank has Austin Idol with him. Idol puts some kind of laser on him. Kerry punches Frank. Frank no sells it then shoulders him over. Frank hits a corner lariat then throws him. Kerry hits shots in the corner. Frank blocks his monkey flip attempt.
Kerry hits chops then dropkicks him from behind. Frank throws him again. Kerry goes out then Frank stomps him. Frank hits punches and throws him. Kerry eye pokes him then hits punches. Kerry ddt's him.
We go to break and get a Trevor Mudoch ad for NWA Territory President with Mike Knox. We return. Kerry hits chops. Frank airplane spins him but both get dizzy. Kerry boots him in the gut and hits shots in the corner. Kerry hits boots to the knee.
Kerry is caught on a 2nd rope twisting crossbody then he takes a fallaway slam. Frank grays Kerry by the eyes and Kerry pulls his throat down over the top rope. Kerry is caught off the top then chokeslammed. Idol blows his whistle. Frank double arm chokeslams him and pins him.
Thoughts: The match was fine with Kerry avoiding frank and going for cheap shots here before being caught and getting put down. It does put an end to the idea that Kerry may have to face Silas though which sucks since they were strongly hinting that it may happen in the tournament.
Aron Stevens talks at The Stevens Academy. He says he has the surprise of a lifetime and says it will shake entertainment to its core. He says he will make his legacy and then dip it in gold. Aron gets interrupted and asks for the film to be stopped. Aron is told something we can't hear. He says some people can't make their own way and have to leech off of others. He says this is the most asinine thing he has ever heard.
He says an unknown person is an idiot and asks how he could be so stupid. Carson Drake and one of The Slimeballz walk in. Drake laughs and says now Aron needs him.
Thoughts: We're are like Week 4 or so here and we still have no idea what Aron is talking about and this week, we didn't even know who he was talking about (though it was Thom Lattimer before).
Overall thoughts: There were only 3 matches here. The women's tag and the Morton/Frank matches were okay but nothing must see. The Carson Drake match wasn't that good. It was the usual frustrating NWA Powerrr episode with Aron Stevens going off about unknown things then not telling us what they were as promised. I'd give this a 4 out of 10 and wouldn't recommend it. This show is always such a hard watch.
