I find a 14 man battle royal funny for some reason. Couldn't find one more guy to make it a nice 15
I liked the "main event" of Jax Dane vs Slice Boogie. Seems they really are building Boogie up, my main complaint is that this is the second time they pulled the "match advertised doesn't happen" card. I get Strictly Business do things their own way, but this was just dumb.
A loser must only stay in our town match..... that's a new one. The whole segment between Rosa and Kamille went on just a bit too long and the stipulation is dumb. Shame on you Rosa for going out and succeeding somewhere else! I dislike stipulations like this in general because it really telegraphs who will win by a mile. Both Rosa vs Kamille and Rosa vs Deeb at I assume the PPV should be good matches however.

The thing that gets me about the Loser stays stip, and I said this in the AEW Women’s thread, is what does Kamile get from this? From what I know of her and Rosa in NWA is that they’re heated rivals and have been for a while so if Kamile is going to address her working elsewhere (because both of them likely do indie dates but whatever), wouldn’t you rather her be gone so you can challenge for the women’s title with one less challenger?
If Roman Reigns said “Hey, Daniel Bryan, you’ve been annoying me and challenging me for the title, if you lose the next match, you have to stay here and never be able to go to Raw”, what would Roman gain from it? If Bryan wins, he has your belt and can’t leave so he’ll be around if you win it from him.

A match where if you lose you have to keep working here feels like something people would've joked about TNA doing in 2012.

With the no current NWA champs in the Battleroyal id still mark if Don Callis pops out of the curtain and says “Didnt say anything with AEW, Impact and AAA champions!” Omega is the secret final entrant.
Doubt it happens though
Murdoch is not good as a lead babyface. He will be on 28 of his 30 they suspension. So they better not bring him back under a mask.
Glad to hear Selena is heathy again, a rematch with Rosa should be fun.

The reboot has really been blighted by a lot of bad storytelling. It was always going to be an uphill battle to replace the talent they lost during the hiatus - but I've been let down and disappointed by how poor the booking has been.
Even the Strictly Business arc has been told inconsistently - which is crazy considering with the absence of main event level talent the promotion has become even more of a Nick Aldis vanity project than it was before. One week he's promoing about looking for new additions to the stable and putting the current guys on notice and then the next they're destroying all before them with no acknowledgement of it whatsoever. Now they're bailing on potentially winning the tag titles so they can compete in a #1 contenders battle royal for Aldis' title...but Adonis can't be in that anyway because he's already the National Champion?
This week was probably the worst yet with the fairly ridiculous idea of Jax Dane throwing in his own towel during a falls count anywhere match (he could have checked on Crimson without being counted out - and why is Crimson dead after being knocked off the apron considering Dane and Boogie had just been tossing each other on the concrete floor for five minutes?) and the absolutely absurd Loser Stays stipulation which you guys have already covered.
I want to like Power because it was so great prior to the pandemic. But they've lost all of the fun parts they had before (where's all the comedy gone?!), and they can't tell a half decent story now.

Look, lets stop beating around the bush with this Nick Aldis reign and just give the world title to Jennacide already.

How much of a hand did Dave Lagana have in the booking? I know he did almost all the production which is what killed them for a full year, but did he also have a hand in the writing and presentation of stars? Because if so that'd also explain why the booking has been sub par.

I just love how disgusted Nick Aldis sounds saying “battle royal”. 😂

Was wishing The End would win, and just as the match was heating up it "ends." Not sure if it was a botch or planned as a way for The End to dispute War Kings win.
Battle Royal around the corner, other than a surprise Murdoch return, no clue who could win and face Aldis.

Battle Royal around the corner, other than a surprise Murdoch return, no clue who could win and face Aldis. Murdoch would be 2 days short of returning. I really have no idea who they go with otherwise. Also they seem to be mentioning Pope's seven wins a lot. If gets two more as tv champ he can challenge Aldis. Since he can't be in the battle royal, he will probably have a match next week and then it would make sense to have a match at the ppv vs. Tyrus with the seventh win / title on the line. Then they can build Aldis vs. Pope after the ppv... he's already wearing the "dream match shirt" I'd be surprised if it didnt happen.

Pope is 100% being set up as the man to challenge Aldis post When Our Shadows Fall (that PPV name...). I'd even venture to say Pope will win the NWA Title from Aldis in the Summer. Right now seems the PPV is setting up to be Tyrus vs Pope: NWA TV Title War Kings vs Kratos & Stevens: NWA Tag Titles Rosa vs Deed: NWA Women's Title I assume that Murdoch will challenge Adonis for the National Title, though they have done that match a lot so I could be wrong. Biggest "faces" left are Rosser, Rockett, and Storm. I could see Storm winning as he isn't doing anything else. One out of left field name could be Slice Boogie. While not a face per say they have been having him win a lot, might give him a chance to shine.

Well, I guess those two days were forgotten as Murdoch does return, wins the Battle Royal, and even gets some comeuppance (finally) against Strictly Business. So we have ONE match solidified for the PPV after the go home show is off the air. Why are they having Trevor Murdoch be the main face of the show is still beyond me. Oh and I guess the National Title may not be a thing anymore? Unclear as of now though I think that's the right decision.
This is balanced by a seriously good match between Rosa and Kamile. I would highly recommend people check out this match. Both for how good they were in ring and another hilarious moment of the NWA having no clue how to edit a show. So halfway through the match Taryn Terrell comes out to interfere on behalf of Kamile and Melina pulls her out of the ring. A wardrobe malfunction happens and instead of reshooting it they blur THE ENTIRE screen for the whole segment (at least 45 seconds because they run around the entire ring and too the back). You are in a closed set, why not do a quick reshoot? It's hilariously b-league and takes away an otherwise great match.

This use to my favorite show before the pandemic, now I’m seriously wondering if it’s even worth five dollars. Stark, Dice, Drake and Storm, Kingston, Mr. Kennedy, Colt, Question Mark (RIP), Stevens having his best run since he left WWE. They replaced all of that with Tyrus, Masters, and Murdoch is main eventing a ppv for some reason. It’s like they took out all the stuff that made Powerrr great and doubled down on the stuff that we tolerated.

Was used to set up a match that never happened (THAT I WAS EXCITED FOR) and an extra in a battle royal. Instead we have Murdoch and Tyrus as main players in 2021. Why not bring in guys like Watts and others from CWFH.... Oh wait Aldis blocked David Marquez on twitter so that relationship appears to be dead. How about reestablish a relationship with ROH who seem to have some momentum for the first time since The Elite left? How about bring in some people from AEW? I'm not even saying be apart of Omega's collector gimmick. Have Starks with Team Taz show up or some Nightmare Factory students. Rosa's students were highlights of the show because they were different and had upside. NWA needs to build some people soon because there biggest draw in Thunder Rosa is going to have AEW give her the keys to there Women's division once her contract is up. I will watch the PPV because I've invested time and energy watching everything leading up, but if that doesn't give me some reason to stick around I unsure if I will

Aldis has a bad reputation as a jackals, wouldn't be surprised if he was the catalyst for them ending the professional relationship

You'd have to guess that it had something to do with the NWA/CWFH crossover shows they were doing for a minute there and then stopped rather suddenly. It's a shame because Marquez was a lot of fun on Power and infinitely better than Kyle Davis.
Rosa vs Kamille provided a real highlight this week in what has been a product very lean on quality. I feel like there wouldn't have been many times a single wrestler was so by far and away the best worker on a promotion's roster as Rosa is among the current NWA crew.
