Thoughts: BFT hadn't been around lately. I don't know how they got this shot but it was obvious they weren't winning. What we got was fine though as these two teams usually put a decent bout on. BFT's going to need another manager since Stevens has left them.
Natalia Markova does a promo. She says it's been a long time with her and Shotzi Blackheart. She says she was getting started while Shotzi was established. She says doesn't chase anymore and is then standard. She says Shotzi faces passion and says it's not about the past. Shotzi interrupts.

Thom Latimer does a promo. He says tonight is the night he goes face to face with Thrillbilly. He says every time they face off, their lives are in the hands of the gods. He says they know they could get hurt or die out there. He says they both know someone will lose and Thom says he doesn't want to be that guy. Thom says he wants what he used to have back. He says he needs to tell himself that he's bigger and better and deserves it. He says he needs to tell himself that he will kick his @ss and become NWA champ again. Thom says let's do this.
Trevor Murdoch and Mike Knox do a promo. Trev says he sits around and thinks about the time he was champ. He says he watches the show and sees The Slimes and Silas as champ. He says he sees Latimer getting another shot and says why not him? He says he's a 2x NWA champ and says why can't be a 3x NWA champ. Knox says he's asking the right questions. Trev says being a 3x NWA champ sounds good.

Matt Cardona hits Thom during his entrance and drops him. He boots him on the floor. Matt comes in the ring, says he's in the ring and wants his title shot. Billy Corgan comes out and is shocked.

SM hits a thrill ride on Matt. SM bodyscissors him, ties up the arms and chokes him. Matt submits him.
Thoughts: This was just typical NWA stuff. They had a perfectly fine singles title match set up that was built for weeks and we end up not getting it. Instead we get a circus with Cardona, Knox and Murdoch, Billy Corgan and Eric Smallz. The match just was what it was with endless run in's. Maybe they will be able to make sense of all of it in next few weeks.
Silas mounts Matt after and talks trash. Thom attacks Silas after and hits him with a chair in the gut and back.
Overall thoughts: This promotion just makes you shake your head week after week. Even if things go well, creative has to stick their nose in and tries to turn a lay-up into a 360 between the legs slam dunk that ends up missing. They hyped up Latimer/Silas for weeks and in the end, we didn't get it. We got Matt Cardona vs Silas instead. A million people got involved and we are left with more questions than answers. The first two matches went fine at least and they did a good job with recaps and setting up things for next time, but we ultimately didn't get what were promised. I'd give this a 4 out of 10 and was disappointed by it.
