NWA Powerrr 10/10/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/10/nwa-powerrr-1032026.html

We are in Tampa, FL. Joe Galli, Danny Dealz and Tim Storm are on commentary. 

Kyle Davis interviews Silas Mason and Alex Taylor in the ring. Silas says heavy is the head that wears the crown but as the sun goes down, Silas puts them down. Silas says he beat every challenger so far except for one - Carson Drake. He says he beat the brakes off of Drake but he waved the white flag like a coward. He says he was too much of a punk to accept a clean loss to the champ. He says Heath is the #1 Contender but says Drake was too scared to face him in the ring. He says maybe he's on the same supplements Mondo is on but says it doesn't matter he puts the needle in his butt, he will put a size 16 in his head.

Alex says Silas can go get ready. Alex says to bring out the whole Federation of Champions as like Aron Stevens mother, he isn't afraid to take on multiple men at once.

Mondo and Slade talk to Aron Stevens. Aron says Drake will talk to everyone and make things right. Aron says they will team with Drake tonight against Latimer, Idol and Silas tonight. Aron says it's a fight they can't lose. Mondo and Slade get all hyped up for it.

Thoughts: Maz has some unusual offense that doesn't look the best. She got a lot more in here than Nat did. With Maz being new here, this win didn't do a lot for here. It was average.

Pope says he's reaching out and touching folks and says The Light gotta do what they gotta do for him. Pope says if Mims has a problem with him, they can settle it in the ring. Pope says when he is down, he will pick him back up and welcome him back to the family. He says don't try him or he will pimp slap him.

We return from break.

Thoughts: I was surprised to see Drake back in action here after his injury. What we got was acceptable but by no means was it anyone's best effort here. We will have to see where they are going with Idol and Thom. It was nice to see a trios match with some of the top guys for a change. 

Overall thoughts: It was the usual NWA episode. The opener was random and had a lame finish, but the logic was right. The Hardway's tag match was average and they won as expected. Mazzerati didn't impress vs Markova and that was average as well. The main was acceptable but not really anyone's best work. They didn't go all out for it. There was nothing that good here and there was nothing you would really need to see on this one. I'd give it a 4 out of 10 as I just didn't leave this one real enthused and didn't love it that much. It was below average.

We get an Orange Phantom video with him talking about various feats he supposedly did. He says it's time for him to take his skills to JCW and save the day. He says he's the true hero JCW needs.

We go to Bigfoot training session with Bigfoot and Mosh Pit Mike. Mike gives him an acorn and wants to show him a lock up. Some of Mike's trainees are there and are grossed out by Bigfoot's smell. Mike has Bigfoot lock up with one of the guys. He then gives him the head squeeze instead. The guy screams and we get some graphics.

Caleb Konley comes out to talk. He says what happened last week was a travesty. He says EC3 wants to get involved in his business and asks if we are supposed to remember the stuff he did 10 years ago. He says EC never did sh!t in JCW. Cal says he's been here since Episode 1 and is a multiple time champ. 

Cal insults the crowd after asking for respect. He tells EC3 to come out and earn it if he wants to be the man in JCW. EC3 and Jeeves come out. 

EC says it's not about what he did in the past but what he can and will do when the bell rings. He says Cal will get the @ss kicking machine and the greatest wrestler alive. He says he will get the 1%. He says if he wants him to earn it, let's earn it right now. 

EC takes his shirt off and Joel Gertner and Josh Bishop come out. Joel says he's mortified. He says he's an intelligent human being and doesn't understand. He says they are squabbling about who "the guy". He says EC wants to be the guy and says Caleb wants to be the guy. Joel says in reality, the point is moot as Josh Bishop is the man and the champ. 

Joel says Caleb is a champ but not the guy. He says Caleb has held the toy for 3 months and only defends it once a month. Joel says Josh has defended his title multiple times a month and is undefeated for over a 1,000 days. He says Josh isn't relinquishing or sharing his true title or company with anybody.

Violent J comes out. J says it sounds like a pre-school nursery with all the crying and whining going on. He says there's only one way to put an end to this. He says there will be a match between Josh Bishop and EC3 and the winner will face Caleb Konley for the JCW Title.

J says he also has demands including a crystal dish full of 750 white M&M's. J asks where they will get 750 of those. Tony says they will have The Ring Rat suck the color off of them.

They say Barnabas has reunited with The Outbreak after. Al kisses Sally on the cheek after as they celebrate. Sal is shocked. 

The Outbreak and Barnabas beg Dani after to forgive Barn. Barn says he's so sorry. Dani just stares at them. Barn begs Dani to please come home. Dani then kind of leaves behind them as they go to the back.

Overall thoughts: It was the usual JCW show. The wrestling wasn't that great but the non-wrestling stuff was good. I thought the stuff with Bigfoot was funny and Paul/Krule brawl was fine. The lawsuit stuff with Violent J is very obviously Kerry Morton and we'll see where they go with it. I'd give it a low 6 out of 10 as the non-ring stuff barely carried the wrestling here. It was alright.

He says no one needs to see him as WWE champ again.

Owens says it'll be a success as long as Punk doesn't win. Punk calls it a fail-safe and an excuse. Punk says he believes in himself and Owens doesn't. Owens climbs the ladder. He says he sees a man who won't take the contract or walk out on his own 2 feet. He says he's walking out and taking out Sami for the title.

Sami says they should know better about the jokes and know that he's a survivor. He says he found a way to beat Punk for the title. He says he retained against Owens. Owens and Punk then blame the other for those.

Thoughts: That was a lame ending but I guess it saved both guys a loss. Like everything else here, it wasn't that long of a match and that limited how good it would be.

Evans gets double teamed. Penta comes out and superkicks Bron twice. Penta tope con hilos The Vision. Bronson Reed then runs over Penta.

Overall thoughts: It was the go-home show before the PPV so that limited what we got here. The wrestling was fine, but the matches were short and two of them didn't have clean finishes. There was a lot of talking on this show that didn't really amount to much storyline wise. I thought it was an average show and I can't say it hyped me up for the PPV. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 and wouldn't recommend it. This was average.

Ring of Honor on HonorClub 10/8/2026

Thoughts: I didn't really get this. Serp got most of the offense in here then got put down pretty easily when Hook got a shot on offense. This didn't help Hook and I don't know what this really accomplished.

Thoughts: Alex tapped out pretty easily here to a half-crab which was an unusual ending. I don't know if they were the right opponents her for each other and I thought this was kind of average.

He says he wants John Silver's approval and isn't getting it. He says maybe he was brainwashed by himself and believed his own hype. He says The Frat House and LFI kind of left him behind and says he only lost with The Frat's. He said he wanted to get back to his roots with The Dark Order.

Thoughts: I have no idea what they are doing with Griff's team and I don't like it. This will not go anywhere good. MxM had some nice double teams otherwise though and it's always nice to see JTV. It was a match and it's hard to give it a good rating when I dislike what Griff's team is doing so much.

Athena claps for Hyan after and says she'll call her soon.

Billie Starkz complains about Athena clapping for Hyan in the back. Athena says Billie is a failed experiment. She says she needs someone else to step up and thinks maybe it could be Hyan that joins MIT with Diamante out.

Thoughts: It wasn't bad. Mark hit lots of lariats. Ortiz tried to show some fire as a face and fought back a little. Ortiz took a stiff apron edge powerbomb here and Mark won as expected.

Overall thoughts: I didn't like most of this show. The main was the only thing that I thought was alright enough here. As always, it's ROH, the matches are random and the champs don't wrestle all that much so it's hard to get too invested. They at least kept at 80 minutes which helped things here. The main was the match of the night. This was not one of ROH's best efforts and I'd give it a 4 out of 10 as it was a little below average.

TNA Impact 10/8/2026

Leon says when the tag titles are out of the way, the only thing left is for him to become the youngest TNA champ of all-time. Nic says he's not allowed to touch him or he'd slap the taste out of his head. Leon says  they can't slap each other but he can hit Ryan. Leon says that rule doesn't serve him but serves Nic. Leon says they will learn why he's called the youngest in charge. Leon says he has a strong feeling that The Nemeth's will get deleted tonight. 

Zoey Sorrano runs into Allie and Kiera Hogan in the back and they shove each other.

Allie says they don't know what Zoey Sorrano's problem is but it seems like she wants to fight. Allie says they are fighting champs. Hogan tells Zoey to find whoever she wants as the titles will be on the line and she plans to kick their @ss.

We see The Righteous talking to Harley Hudson. They say she's in the Call Your Shot Gauntlet and want to help her. Harley says she can take care of herself. She asks what happens if it comes down to the 3 of them and Dutch says it would be a good problem to have.

Thoughts: They mentioned towards the end that M was trying to run out the time and she successfully did. What we got wasn't bad. There were no real issues. Black didn't lose at least so this can continue. I'd be fine with seeing this again. 

Ricky Sosa does a promo. He says he's been seeing Eddie Edwards' name over and over. He says their match at Bound For Glory isn't just another match but the biggest match of his career. He says Eddie has done everything here and is a legend. He says it's his time though and he didn't come this far to lose. He says he came to prove why he belongs in TNA. He says he respects what he has done but it doesn't mean he fears him. He says he will show him why he's the young savage and beat him 1-2-3.

Eddie Edwards does a promo. He says Ricky Sosa is saying the right things but they are just words. Eddie says he will see someone who knows he is a legend here. He asks if he will see someone who knows he belongs here. He says Sosa will need to use every bullet in the chamber to prove he belongs here.

Thoughts: It didn't get enough time to be anything. KC was a little off here and the crowd wasn't into it. It wasn't as bad as I made it sound but it should have been better and longer than it was.

Zoey Sorrano talks on the phone in the back to Shayna Baszler. She says Hogan and Allie called her out and she needs her help. Zoey asks for her help and Shayna says to tell her where and when. Zoey says they will break bones and take the title home with them. Shayna asks if they have limbs and Zoey says they can each take half the limbs and break them.

Thoughts: Shayna's a good wrestler and if TNA can get her to come around regularly, their division will continue to improve.

Indi Hartwell does a video. She said she had a chance to bring the TNA Knockouts Title home last year at Bound For Glory but she failed. She says she failed in front of the Boston fans and her family. She says she embarassed herself in front of them. Xia Brookside said she embarrassed every Knockout in the company. Indi says her failure has just been fuel for her. She says she's been trying to get back all year and will get her chance. Xia says she thinks she did things the right way.

Thoughts: The ending wasn't clean here as Jeff barely hit Nic's knees on the finish. The Hardy's are a little limited nowadays and do the spots they can do. What we got was fine but nothing too memorable. I figured Syx would cost The Hardy's the titles here and they did.

The lights go down and Leon Slater is down. Nic acts like he didn't do it and doesn't know what happened. The lights go out again. Syx then jump The Hardy's in the ring and leave them laying. 

Nic holds the title up as Syx stare into the camera's.

Overall thoughts: The women's tag to start things was short but acceptable. I also thought the 8-man tag was acceptable. M By Elegance vs Elayna was fine. Aichner/Navarro didn't get a lot of time and wasn't that great. The main was fine. This was the go home show for the PPV and it was average. The talent just isn't there and it's hard to hype things up when we probably aren't getting anything great. The show was alright overall and I'd give it a low 6 out of 10 as it made sense and the wrestling was fine as a whole.

Sara Blake interviews Nyxx. Nyxx says she was mad as hell last time but now knows Raven Black is scared of her. She challenges Raven to a street fight for the title and says they can take it to the streets if she wants to fight like that.

The Order are interviewed in the ring by Allen Pounds. Dorian Vain gets up in Allen's face. Jimmy says the crowd needs to show some respect. He says Dorian Vain is the best and says Eli Knox is the gold standard. He says Elijah Owens is new and says Izzy Rotten is mean and bad.

Thoughts: It was acceptable. They had some moments that could have been better here. The announcers also hyped up Xero breaking the cobra clutch too much as they didn't think it could be done, then he did it like 3 times straight.

DV puts the cobra clutch on him again after and lets go of it.

BB jawbreakers her. BB step up knees her in the corner. BB 2nd rope dropkicks her from behind for 2. DT jawbreakers her then does a bad snapmare driver. DT pins her.

Thoughts: It was a little below average. There were a couple of spots that could have been cleaner here (including the finish) and it wasn't anything too special. It was nice to see someone different though in Barrett.  

The hosts talk.

Thoughts: The match was more on the average side as it had an unsatisfactory finish. It wasn't that bad, just the faces needed more offense in on this and it could have had a few more exciting spots. The finish wasn't random as three times have been feuding.

Dabbs complains and shoves Styles. Gage joins in and Styles yells at them. 

Overall thoughts: They weren't at the usual EPW Arena, so the lighting, camera's and audio weren't quite as good as usual. That hurt things as did Joey Gross not being on commentary. The opener was acceptable as was Vain/Xero. The girls' match was a little below average and the main was also average with a bad finish. I'd give it a 4 out of 10 overall. This was below average

IWA Puerto Rico Impacto Total 10/4/2026

Ricky Banderas does a promo. He says welcome to his world. He says Nihan stole his title with Savio Vega. He says Nihan will go through the worst nightmare of his life.

Matty Ice does a promo. He says he does all the work and people of PR reap all the benefits and says PR fans have things backwards. He says he's been part of 3 organizations that he wanted to make an impact in. he says the people of Louisville, KY, wanted him to be the man but the machine didn't want it. He says people wanted him to be the man in Houston, TX, but the machine didn't want it and they have been making stupid people famous there too. He says the machine doesn't give him problems here, but the people do. He says no matter how hard he tries to be this generation's Glamour Boy Shane, the people still reject him like Jon Dave Rose rejecting his tags. 

He says the people of PR are the most stubborn people on the planet. He says they can't drive and they do what they want to do when people tell them how to fix their problems. He says he would have said PR should be the 51st state, but Cuba would appreciate it more. He then says Greenland should be the 51st state and says it won't be Trump's fault, but their fault. He says he's the top dog and the one true king of PR. He says the people need to learn his name. He says everything they say forward is an old school instinct and spells out C-L-A-S-S-I-C.

El Gladiador Boricua vs Jose Navarro

Jon Dave Rose joins Wizard on commentary for this. Tono Machete is with Jose.

They lock up. GB back him up in the corner and Jose complains of a hair pull. They lock up and Jose shoves him in the corner. Jose then pushes him. Jose misses a charge and GB hits punches. GB armdrags him then hiptosses him. GB dropkicks him out.

Thoughts: It was a very cookie cutter match here and it was simple. The heels cheated, they took minimal bumps and stuck with the heel vs face stuff. It was acceptable, but you couldn't get a lot more generic than this.

Tono and Jose choke GB with the bullrope after and pounds on him. GB is put on Tono's back and Jose helps hang him there. Pupe Jackson comes out and chases the heels away.

He says it's his company and he will have extra security so Cotto can't come in. He tells him to stay home, wash his sidewalk or roof and don't show up. He says if he comes, he arrives at his own risk and Savio won't take any responsibility. He tells him not to show up. He says he will fire him if he has to.

Overall thoughts: These matches all took place at a free outdoor show. We weren't getting anything too wild here. The opener was average. Rose/Millet wasn't that good and the main was acceptable but very basic. We also got lots of promos as usual. I'd give it a 4 out of 10. It was a little below average with the wrestling being weak.
