WWE's been after a top tier heavyweight for years and Regal had talked about how difficult it is to find anyone suitable. These days AEW will be on the hunt too. Maybe one day the holy grail will be discovered, that charasmatic heavyweight that will lead to a boom period. Does Billy really think they'll stay in NWA? He'll just get the guys nobody else wanted. Especially when MLW has guys like Hammerstone, Jacob Fatu, Juicy Finau, EJ Nduka, Calvin Tankman, and to a lesser extent, Alex Kane. Those are the guys in the mid-tier companies you would want to build a super-heavyweight promotion on, not Tyrus and Trevor Murdoch. Or NJPW, with JONAH who is basically "what if Tyrus had literally any redeeming qualities and was actually intimidating", or Jeff Cobb, who isn't that tall, but is built like a brick shithouse and could suplex a Clydesdale. 2022 Bad Luck Fale is a better, faster wrestler than Tyrus. NJPW fans are wincing as they read this, but I'm right and they know it.

I decided to watch NWA Powerr, since I figured I should give the product a chance before I take a wet dookie on it:
-Very basic promo by Tyrus and Austin Idol. Mainly just told us about who the people in this stable were. No actual storyline development beyond reminding us who the champions are and that they all belong to the same stable.
-Boring, paint by numbers TV title match with a mind numbing 6:05 time limit. Ends in a draw, champion worked from on top all match. Nothing of any value in this match whatsoever.
-Decent little match between Odinson and Bryan Davidson. Odinson has a good look, but my only gripes are he gave up too much offense in this match, and in a lot of was his offense didn't really have a ton of Oomph for a man of his size.
-Promo from Aron Stevens about the fact that he's a manager and not a wrestler. Fun and amusing as he and his significant other demand that he not be hurt.
-The worst advertisement for wrestling merch ever. Just awful.
-Bad promo from a tag team of cowboys challenging for the US tag titles next week. The graphic named them Aron Stevens.
-Main Event is Aron Stevens Vs. Kratos who calls himself "The most Swag". Kratos has a good intimidating look. Lots of shenanigans invovling a loaded glove, and the taking of it off. Tons of stalling. Aron Stevens claiming he does not have a license to wrestle, and then jumping Kratos. One sided beatdown, ending in a DQ when two masked men jump Kratos. Some guy named "Question Mark II" makes the save. Beatdown by the masked men. Loaded Glove shot ends the night.
Not doing a lot to inspire confidence in this company. Aron Stevens was the high point. Terrible wrestling show.

Terrible wrestling show. The "season premieres" tend to suck, I'm afraid. The weekly shows themselves are usually better, especially if the women or the light heavyweights get some shine. Heck, even the midcard's better than what's going on in the heavyweight-oriented title scenes or the Question Mark stupidity.

To tell the truth the whole concept of the Question Mark gimmick still being a thing just seems super gross to me.

I think Question Mark II as an homage/tribute would've been fine if the whole thing was solely that. Trying to pass off Rodney Mack as the original and Aron Stevens attempting to cling to his last shreds of relevance are cringe as f*** and need to end.

Kratos should get a tag partner named "Atreus".

Jesus Christ that's f***ed but also hilarious that the guy in the gimmick is RODNEY MACK Especially when, I mean, Red Dogg/Rodney Mack is enough of a name in his own right that they should just be using him as that. Obviously not an enormous name, but more notable than a lot of their undercard.

Aron Stevens was the high point. Terrible wrestling show. Thanks for taking one for the team and watching so we didn't have to. Sometimes I end up enjoying the stuff that I thought I'd hate, like increasingly large parts of Noah, but don't think that would apply here.

Dude, NWA isn't even the best place for Hoss Fights. MLW puts on far better hoss fights, with a wider assortment of super-heavyweights. Alexander Hammerstone is the super face hoss champion Corgan wishes he could book.

Billy Corgan: So we call this the Pimp Daddy match and it's a really innovative twist on a classic where the winner gets their head shaved bald to represent that they have ascended to their most beautiful self known as Zwam

This dude owns a wrestling promotion which he presumably wants to make money off of and he’s going to give people more G-Rilla vs. Trevor Murdoch. LMAO at the NWA.
