Not sure if anyone saw NWA Power, but it debuted tonight. The show looked great. I loved the look they had for the show. It felt like watching an old episode of World Championship Wrestling with todays wrestlers. Id highly recommend this show.

It felt like wrestling that I wasn’t embarrassed to watch and that was an amazing feeling.

I seen it come up in my recommended videos. I was just going to check it out, and I ended up watching it all. I wasn't expecting it to feel so old school, even though obviously.. it is NWA.

I freaking loved it!
I sat through the entire hour, without skipping anything. I was legit actually enjoying wrestling.
The Tim Storm vs. Nick Aldis match was perfect for a TV NWA Title match. It told a great story, and it was cool to see Tim Storm get some recognition on a scale where many viewers can see. The man was the NWA Champion, he deserves it.
I legit can't wait for next weeks episode. It reminded me of when I watched NWA Mid Atlantic, or WCW Saturday Night in the late 80s, or USWA wrestling from Memphis. Even The Rock praised the NWA, so they must be doing something right!
Thank you, Billy Corgan! You are helping to add to the fun and excitement of pro wrestling again.

Loved it. I watched some of the Ten Pounds of Gold series they did and it was some fantastic storytelling. Tim Storm is a freaking high school teacher in his mid 50's and the main event still was great and had a big fight feel.
Their presentation is completely different from AEW, Impact, etc. For me watching promotions with a totally different style, production, etc really helps keep things fresh and I haven't been feeling "wrestling burnout" even though I'm watching more weekly wrestling tv than at any point in my life.
My only question is will there be enough talent to go around for AEW, ROH, Impact, MLW, and NWA (plus various indies)? Not to mention WWE continuing to stockpile talent who they barely use. I feel like somebody has to draw the short straw.

I haven't gotten around to giving it a watch yet but I definitely plan on it. It's such a great time to be a wrestling fan right now!

Just watched the show. I liked it a lot. Had a great old school feel while still looking sharp and polished with today's production value.

One thing I really liked was how they kept the classic belt designs.
Especially the National Heavyweight Championship. I only wish they could call it the United States Heavyweight Championship.

Another really solid episode. I like the mix of established stars and new talent. Considering the competition out there, it's not a bad little roster.

NWA Powerrr has probably become my favourite wrestling program for the week. I loved tonight's episode. So many little surprises, fun matches, story lines that make you invested.
Can't wait for next weeks episode already!

Easily the best wrestling show on TV right now. Which is saying a lot because there are a lot of good programs from various promotions, MLW, AEW, Impact, WWE, etc... But NWA is the easiest to watch and the most fun.

This might be the promotion for me to watch today. I'm a big fan of old NWA, AWA and WCCW. That was wrestling the way it should be.

I got a good laugh from "Tony Falk's Tire Irons & Waffles" commercial. Good to see he's still kicking.
But please get Colt Cabana off my TV.

Didn't know what I was putting on when I first saw it on my recommendation. Ended up just grasping me. Has such a different atmosphere and I think because of how unique and simple it is, it's truly some of the best product out there. Titles feel much more important rather than a prop.

Great show so far and along with AEW & NXT the only worth while weekly wrestling show to watch.I like the retro 80's NWA feel with the studio and no music.Hopefully the roster improves going into 2020.Think they need to add some more talent and their should be some that could be hand with in the next year or so with Jay Lethal,Marty Scrull,Jeff Cobb from ROH all having deals up by the end of this year and guys current in WWE like Matt Hardy,Luke Harper,The Revival..ect all having deals up around Wrestlemania next year.
Just wonderign how much Billy and company have to spend on talent and if any of those talents listed would be more interested in signing with NWA over the likes of WWE,AEW,NJPW or even IMPACT.But one name I could see joining is Matt Hardy,his "Borken" gimmick and angle in IMPACT was basically him,Billy,Dave and Borash that created it and let him have the freedom to do with it as he wanted.So with Billy and Dave running NWA think he could join back up with them again to gain back that freedom and also give them that one major talent who could in his twilight of his career be their one big legend ala Terry Funk in ECW.

I kind of wonder if Scurll could end up here. He and Aldis had a f***ing unbelievable match at Crockett Cup, and Aldis was hinting that he already knew of an outsider coming to challenge for his belt. Everyone is on the debate of if Scurll goes to AEW or NXT, but he could totally go left field and hit up NWA instead. I think the Revival would be an amazing fit in NWA as well. Cobb I don't know about. I could see him heading over to Japan completely. He was really great in the G1 and seemed to enjoy wrestling there. Also, I know it's a typo, but I am ALL IN on any promotion taking up Matt Hardy with a new dog themed Borken gimmick. Orange Cassidy Vs. Borken Matt Hardy would be the stuff legends are made of. MLW hasn't been grabbing my attention as much the past month or so, and NWA has filled that third show slot nicely along with AEW and NXT. I find it hilarious that one of the major problems with the main roster product is Vince being too old and out of touch, and here the most old school thing on air is one of the best. |

I watched some of it from the first episode. I think they might have something special.
