They deleted the old episodes so people couldn't see just how bad nwa messed up by having Tyrus as their world champion, especially after they had someone like Nick Aldis. That was a huge mistake. What is funny is Tyrus is laying out challenges to Dustin Rhodes and Mox, both of which are very good wrestlers, unlike Tyrus. In regards to Tyrus I agree with WWE, because just like WWE I don't even think that he is good enough to be a mid card champion, but NWA made him their World Champion? I am at a loss

Going along with the WOKE baloney was pathetic. At that point nothing would have made me happier than to see NWA go bankrupt, except for that I liked the rasslers and they had nothing to do with the bad management decisions.

Now that Billy Corgan just signed a deal to put NWA on The CW, a lot of this hits different.

Bring in Dustin Rhodes to go for the NWA title and for him to win. He's the prime guy that NWA should be chasing and it would lay the legacy of the title both his dad and brother held.

I saw James Storm a couple months ago on indy show in Alvarado, TX. He definitely should still be on tv.

Matt Cardona sure helped them by being so popular at the time.

I DID archive the NWA episodes whilst I still could.

If you saw JCP's NWA, this will never do as far as quality

Viewership for Powerrr dropped each new episode too. The debut episode had over 600K and was the second most viewed video on NWA’s KZread channel. Each week it dropped til one point it was at like 100K and stayed there. And even the new episodes can’t get the numbers the early episodes had. 100K+ is pretty much where views have stayed at for Powerrr

@bigjoeofthe707

Жыл бұрын

And btw. Corgan needs to stop with adding all these titles. The roster isn’t even big enough to have that many titles. Hell there shouldn’t be that many anyways. You have the world heavyweight title, world television title, world tag team titles, National heavyweight title, United States tag team titles, women’s world title, women’s world tag team titles, world junior heavyweight title, and now the women’s television title. I’m surprised he didn’t bring back the North American heavyweight title which was active when he bought the NWA. I wouldn’t be surprised if he tried to revive the world 6-man tag team titles or even the 3 titles that CMLL controlled for so long somehow

Bring "Into the Fire" back as its theme as well as talent that people would want to sit and watch!

Kamille must be the strongest woman in wrestling because she carries NWA every week. She's the only thing worth watching. Honestly, you have to wonder what will happen if Kamille is given an offer by either AEW or WWE. I honestly don't know if NWA could survive losing her.

@kevinkelly1529

8 ай бұрын

Imagine having a goof like Kamille as your big star. 😂😂😂😂. On a scale of 1 to 10 she's no better than a 4. She's basically about equal to the average indy rassler. But NWA just hired Allie Recks! That a smart move!

They ditched Dave Lagana and Cornette for reasons that may have been unavoidable, but both were seemingly huge hits. They shut out David Marquez who could've been a lucrative asset since he's actually currently DOING the territory thing successfully on a small scale with UWN and has been for about a decade now (once with another iteration of the NWA that proved more lucrative and interesting in the long run). Josephus/Question Mark passed, which is sad for many reasons, but in NWA's case it meant losing one of their more over home growns and an extremely creative mind. They ran Aldis off, and while his run as forever champ was wearing thin, it didn't help matters that they didn't build someone up to beat him other than Trevor Murdoch. Losing some talent to bigger promotions is a given, but there are other young talents they could've built on and probably afforded for cheaper than whatever Aldis, Tyrus, Adonis, Burke, Murdoch, Knox, or even Idol and Velvet are asking for. Billy ran off the Cult of Cornette when he ditched Jim, and then ran off the remaining internet crowd by putting the gold on Tyrus and dressing down anyone who dared judge his product. I hate to see NWA go out this way, but at this point if it died tomorrow it'd be an act of mercy.

Bold statement: that studio in Georgia had the potential to reach ecw arena status with the crowd. You pointed out at the end, that crowd made every wrestler seem like a star. Just look at the question mark. It was really a shame they went away from that presentation.

I'm hoping NWA will improve and grow due to WPC reviving the territory system... There are reboots of three of the main NWA territories Championship Wrestling From Florida, Georgia Championship Wrestling, & Jim Crockett Promotions (Mid-Atlantic) I'm hoping he can make an arrangement with these promotions and several others to bring back the true aura of the NWA.

I remember in TNA when the men's storyline were trash. However, the women's division with the Beautiful People, Hamada, Kong, Daffney and more, we're doing great stuff and giving viewers a reason to watch. I think NWA has entered that phase with Kamille leading a charge.

NWA as a promotion is literally hanging by a thread imo, nothing they doing in recent times shows me that their trying to get back where they were during the pre pandemic times

Those early episodes of Powerrr were literal GOLD!!! The epic rise of Tim Storm with Nick Aldis (now on Smackdown), Eli Drake (now LA Knight), Ricky Stars, Eddie Kingston, etc etc. The original "10 Pounds of Gold" Series was one of the best wrestling series that has ever been produced, the heartfelt story of Tim Storm was just incredible storytelling. Why would they DELETE all of this???

I actually attended a few of these shows at PBS in ALT. Even doing a marathon of TV tapings. Personally.. lost a lot to me b/c they are not taping in ATL anymore. I remember Question mark. I remember Thunder Rosas rise. I remember Eli Drake and all of the up and comers.. and vets. I loved the rebirth of NWA. I barely watch it anymore.

NWA Powerrr was THE wrestling show I was waiting the most every week in 2019 COVID really hurt them, + poor decisions like deleting all the older episodes, that's crazy to me that they've done that

I like this format! Can u review an nxt black and gold episode vs an nxt 2.0 episode

Good review

Glad i archived everything from Powerrr up until the Pandemic

I was really hopeful about NWA's future when Cornette was there. It kept getting smaller and less interesting in the last two years unfortunately.

NWA from October 2019 to early 2020 was the best wrestling show I had watched it a long time.

this channel really doesn't know how to not rip off other people's thumbnails.

It's always a shame when it comes to these promotions, I wonder what's gonna be next

Why Downfall? 3 Months ago they got the second highest YT Video?

There's nothing wrong with having tyrus on the roster, it's just that he really shouldn't be world champion. There are still some things I like about the NWA like their tag team division, the women's division, and I'm kind of taking a liking to Ricky Morton son.

Yep same with EC3, Trevor, Latimer ect. At least, they’re not trying to put titles on Gaagz and Sal. They got to stop burying the young guys to push older guys. It isn’t working. Crockett Cup nearly destroyed the tag team champs. Both of them looked weak all so Trevor could look awesome. It’s a slap to long term tag teams.

And don’t get me started in their NWA USA show. Wow. And that episode with the segment of introducing new designs for the US tag titles and trying to give em to The Fixers (the champs at that time) was cringe. That Wrecking Ball dude was just cringe saying no and going on about “It has Fixers on it” which was some tape in the belt and “The Fixers” written in permanent marker. And dude was even going “You’re trying to challenge me that’s what it is right?” Like oh my god I just had second hand embarrassment watching that. I was shouting “TAKE THE FUCKING BELTS MAN! YOU AND YOUR PARTNER ARE STILL THE CHAMPS BUT WITH A NEW DESIGN!”

After the lockdown, it's been tough for NWA. Plus, they are a "territory" that the big national companies are siphoning talent from. I will give NWA credit for having some very hard working talent though........ it's not like they've just given up.

Was gonna start watching it but unfortunately, it's hard now with the changes happening

NWA deserve so much better. Such a legendary wrestling promotion should be owned by someone that can give it better respect and attention.

I watch Powerrr sometimes and it’s like… one of the strengths of the pre-pandemic NWA Powerrr was the women’s division and that’s still true to an extent, they get a lot of attention and mic time and are presented as equal stars to the men. The product also uses a lot of good journeymen like the NOW or Jay Bradley who still have a lot to offer. There’s not much else that’s any good lol, they don’t have any standout young talent to play off the veterans like they did with Ricky Starks for ex

I don't know why, but I've just not been a fan of studio wrestling. I tried with WOS and NWA Powerrr when it first started.

Nick Aldis’ departure from the NWA was the final straw for me.

I can't watch the newer episodes of the show. When it first began, it was completely different stylistically than anything else, so some of the old-fashioned things such as the lack of entrance music and things like that made the show unique, and didn't bother me. The more recent shows are just like everything else, but without ring music. It makes that much more annoying than it would have been when I was watching a show that looked like an old wrestling show
