NWA Powerrr 7/29/2025

The last 2 weeks of the show were repeats. The last show I saw is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2025/07/nwa-powerrr-782025.html

Next week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2025/08/nwa-powerrr-852025.html

This is the NWA's first show on Roku. X in theory got more viewers so that's the better place to air but maybe this can get some people who only have TV.

We get a package on The Crockett Cup.

Tag Team Battle Royale for the 12th seed in the Crockett Cup

Note - There are a bunch of people in here who have not been seen on this show before and I don't know them. There were no entrances either to make it clear. If one person is eliminated here, the whole team is eliminated.

Beastman hits a double lariat on The JV Squad. Beastman rams someone in the corner. The JV Squad boot The Slimeballz in the corner. Beastman hits a cannonball on 3 people. Stone Rockwell is thrown out by The JV's, eliminating his partner as well.

Eric Smallz punches people in the nuts. Eric is then thrown into Sam Stackhouse's crotch. There's some woman in there who uranage's an unknown guy then an another unknown guy hits a springboard legdrop.

The Slimeballz stomp on Joe Ocasio. Mr. Grimm is slammed onto someone. Grimm is hit by a girl (Big Daddy Adrianna) and drops her. Adrianna is then thrown out.

We go to break. Bryan Idol says Carson Drake thinks he can get away with anything he wants all his life and says he won't get away with anything. We return from break. Sam Stackhouse eliminates South Philly's finest together. Joe Ocasio and his partner are thrown out. 

Mr. Grimm and his partner double dropkick Sam Stackhouse from behind. They then double boot him through the ropes. Smallz punches Grimm and his partner Moses in the nuts en stereo. Smallz then does a caterpilla into a headspin and legdrop. Dalton McKenzie throws Smallz out onto Stackhouse, who catches and saves him. Smallz is then booted off the apron by The JV Squad and eliminated.

Sage is thrown into Moses then punched in his injured ribs. The JV's turn on Grimm and Moses and throw them out together. Sage fights off The JV's. Tommy Rant takes a pop-up drop. The Slimes stop themselves from being thrown over the top. They fight The JV's on the apron. Sage hits a knee off of Rant's back and he eliminates one of The JV's. The Slimeballz win the battle royal.

Thoughts: We hadn't seen most of these people before and there were no intros so I didn't know who was who. They didn't get a lot of time for this and had a break cut some of this up. And with so many people in it, everyone was a bit limited.

Crockett Cup 2025 First Round - Blunt Force Trauma (Damage and Carnage) vs The Slimeballz (Tommy Rant and Sage Chance)

Sage hits gut punches on Dam and gets nowhere. Carn knees and clubs on Rant. Sage's head is banged off the buckles. Dam runs into Rant's elbow in the corner. Rant is double suplexed.

Sage goes up and over Dam then enzugiri's him from the apron. Sage's top rope lariat is caught then Dam lariats him. Carn hits corner spears on Sage. Dam bearhugs Sage. Sagej awbreakers him and Carn stops Rant from tagging in.

Dam shoulders over Sage. Dam powerslams Sage. Dam goes to powerbomb Rant. Sage rolls up Dam out of nowhere and wins.

Thoughts: The Slimes winning here was a shock. I'm not sure if BFT was the best team for them to upset. It was a shorter one and they did what they were supposed to with The Slimes getting roughed up.

Aron Stevens argues with the ref after and gets in his face. Baron Von Storm comes out. BFT is gone and Baron iron claws Aron. Sodapop Hendrix (who we haven't seen since 2024) shows Baron the globe and gets him to break the hold. 

Father James Mitchell talks with his crew in the back with The Crockett Cup. He says The Cup is the most prestigious prize in wrestling and it will go home with The Lost.

We see various wrestlers enter NWA Headquarters at The Capitol Theatre. Kenzie says Joe Cazana is making her wait. Joe Cazana comes down the steps with his sons. He says welcome to his new territorial office. He says he's bringing back the territories. He says to look what he is doing to this building and then invites them to see his office.

The Slimeballz do a promo outside under a bridge. They say they are The Slimeballz and the next winners of The Crockett Cup. Rant calls BFT losers. Sage says they will take this all the way to the end and will take the cup home to Slimeball City. He says they will fill the cup with slime and guzzle it down. They then say it's Slime Time.

Crockett Cup 2025 First Round - The Lost (Alex Misery and Crazzy Steve) vs Team Exodus Pro (EC3 and PB Smooth)

 

EC hits shots on Steve before it starts. Steve's head is banged off the buckles. Steve boots him out of the corner and hanging headscissors him. EC is booted by Alex and Steve in the corner. Alex is whipped into a cannonball type of move on EC. EC's head is banged off the buckles by Alex.

Alex slingshot sunset flips him. EC hits him in the throat and Alex hits a bad enzugiri. Alex enzugiri's PB off the apron. Alex then triangle dropkicks EC off the apron. Alex goes for a dive but PB pulls his throat down over the top for 2.

EC and Steve double clothesline each other.

Alex hits leg kicks on PB then dropkicks him. Alex is back body dropped outside onto his partners. PB does a standing blue thunder on Alex and pins him.

Thoughts: It got enough time and the match was fine. Alex hit some bad enzugiri's and the crowd was pretty dead for most of this. PB had a good night here.

Carson Drake does a promo with the Crockett Cup. He says he's wrestling for the NWA TV Title, which he never lost. He says he will show Bryan Idol that he can't beat him for the 10th time.

We get a video on Rhino and it says he's coming.

Thom Latimer says he's been wrestling since he's 16 and he's 38 now. He says he took the long road and threw the keys to the car away when he was given them. He said then he got sober. He says he was born to be NWA champ. He says he knows who he is and who he should be - your NWA champ.

Joe Cazana is with his sons at the headquarters. He's in a nice ballroom and says it's for the people. Kenzie Paige isn't buying this and says he can't deal with it. Joe says Tyler Franks belongs in the NWA and says the meeting is dismissed. Tyler says he's not in The Crockett Cup. Joe says he'd love to have him at The Crockett Cup and wants him there. He says he wants to see him in the crowd to give them the support they need.

NWA World Television Title - Bryan Idol vs Carson Drake

Drake was champ but he got to 7 defenses and had to give it up to get a world title shot.

Idol takes him over and armlocks him. Idol armdrags him then dropkicks him. Idol flying knees him in the corner then atomic drops him into the buckles. CD is punched and ends up going over the top to the floor. We go to break. Natalia Markova says she faces Kylie Paige in a no limits match next week. She says she's coming for the women's title after that.

We return from break. CD is stalling outside. Idol dropkicks him through the ropes then chops him against the rail. Idol tries to get in and CD hits shots on him. CD punches Idol then hits corner spears. Idol is sent into the buckles and goes down. CD hits some punches on Idol then throws him into the corner for 2. CD chops him and knees him in the gut.

CD slingshot suplexes Idol for 2. Idol hits Finlay's oblivion for 2. Idol is cradled for 2. CD hits a single leg codebreaker to the face for 2. CD then pounds on him. Idol avoids a slingshot suplex and hits a killswitch on CD to win.

Thoughts: It was average and not that great. CD bumped around a lot here and had a few nice punches. 

Overall thoughts: It was an average show here, which is above what they usually do. Every match had a reason for it to happen. I didn't like the battle royal that much was it full of people we hadn't seen before and they didn't do a good job of explaining who is who. The Slimes vs BFT was acceptable as was The Lost vs Exodus Pro. The main was average. I'd give this a 5 out of 10 and wouldn't recommend it. I was surprised they didn't have some bigger matches here considering this is their big Roku debut and in theory, they would want to impress people and pull out all the stops.
