Just thought I'd bump this given the latest news that Thunder Rosa could be on the way to WWE.

That's now Ricky Starks, Eddie Kingston, Thunder Rosa and James Storm who have seemingly signed full time deals elsewhere.

Nick Aldis remains champion and based on his interview on Disco Inferno/Konnan's podcast, it sounds like he'll be there until the end.

NWA are currently doing matches on UWN Primetime Live but hard to see how they can manage to continue after losing such prominent stars.

Is question mark still there?
Karate!!!!

NWA returns with NWA Shockwave next Tuesday.

Mark your calendars! Beginning next Tuesday at 6pm eastern, the NWA will showcase matches produced in collaboration with the United Wrestling Network, including matches that have never been seen anywhere before! In the coming weeks, you will once again see the best that professional wrestling has to offer including Nick Aldis, Thunder Rosa, Eli Drake, Aron Stevens, Kamille, and many more!

Agent Coulson · 25-11-2020 12:07am

It will be interesting to see what they do and say about the Women's Title as they have Thunder Rosa listed as being on the show yet an AEW talent holds the Title.

I think the model works very well, at the end of the day no one had heard of Ricky Starks or Thunder Rosa (or Eddie Kingston in my case) before Powerrr came along. There are plenty more hungry, talented wrestlers hoping for a chance around the US, and showing up for a long weekend every few months to film a whole season of episodes followed by the odd PPV is very easy to timetable.

As long as Corgan is willing to put some money behind it and the sooner they can get fans in the better, if anything it will be easier to recruit new people after seeing those from the first batch make the breakthrough and get long term contracts at bigger companies.

May Valentine on the intro to this weeks Shockwave isnt the best way to start a show.

The White Wolf · 25-02-2021 10:27am

Josephus/The Question Mark has passed away. Very sad news.

From his tag partner Aron Stevens:

My heart is broken. R.I.P. Sensei ❓. Thank you for all you have done for the fans and for me. This does not seem real

B.A._Baracus · 25-02-2021 12:16pm

Yeah heard that this morning. RIP dude.
I quite enjoyed him as The Question Mark and the "ka-ra-te" bit.

He's only wrestling since 2012 actually. Didn't say his age but I assume mid-40s. But whatever his age was it was too soon. Could have lived another 30 years under normal circumstances. Rip.

Chuck Noland · 25-02-2021 12:30pm

Was a gimmick that immediately caught my eye on NWA when I switched over. Well delivered
RIP

briany · 25-02-2021 3:24pm

Have to say that the only bit of wrestling I was in any way eager to watch over the last couple of years was the NWA Powerr stuff, and Jocephus was no small part of that. His initial character was very good, and the addition of the spiritual advisor took it up a level. His stuff under the mask as the Question Mark was class as well. Big loss to indie wrestling.

Headshot · 25-02-2021 8:12pm

Ah man the Question Mark was one of my favs at NWA

Horrible news

Itssoeasy · 25-02-2021 9:53pm

I heard this earlier and Jesus it’s sad news. The question mark stuff I loved in nwa because it was a very old school gimmick with the mask. It got over with the fans because it was clear who it was but that didn’t matter as he connected with the audience. A bit concerning that it was an undiagnosed illness given Brodie lees death. But again such a shame.

The White Wolf · 27-02-2021 8:18pm

I was watching some Question Mark moments and all of a sudden when the crowd was chanting his name I realised Question Mark is Question, Mark? Mind blown.

Highly doubt it thou

chopperbyrne · 28-02-2021 12:19am

Was just coming to ask about this. Wanted to continue from where I left off and the channel is empty. I asked them on twitter, but probably won't get a reply.

Agent Coulson · 28-02-2021 7:03am

Looks like they may have gotten a TV or Streaming deal so if that's what it is they have probably taken down everything so it can go on the new platform.

02-03-2021 11:28pm

Returning with a PPV on the 21st of March.

The weekly show (NWA Power) will now air on fight TV from the 23rd of March for a monthly fee of $4.99.

I enjoyed the NWA first time around (when the roster was decent) but I don't think I'll be paying to watch it tbh

chopperbyrne · 03-03-2021 8:26am

Is that available here without the use of a VPN, and have they confirmed all previous content will be available on demand?

I'll see what the PPV card is like before buying.

I've bought their previous PPV and was entertained, will happily do so again if the card looks decent.

2ndcoming · 03-03-2021 11:17am

The whole pandemic thing happened at the worst time possible for NWA, they were just started to build a head of steam. Airing free on Youtube was a great model, Power itself was entertaining and they had goodwill to go on and keep improving.

Now they've lost their biggest up and coming talents in Starks and Rosa, they still can't return to the Power filming format with a funny, hot crowd, and they're trying to charge the same as AEW for a show you would fear is going to be a long way off it qualitywise.

Agent Coulson · 15-03-2021 9:46pm

Fox News host Tyrus has joined the company so I don't think I'll be watching NWA again till he leaves.

An interview me and 2 other cork lads of wrestleslam did today with nick aldis ahead of there PPV return Sunday...We chat all things nwa and also what he thinks of the so called "Forbidden door"

I liked the NWA first time around (loved that the shows were on YouTube each week) but I can't see myself paying a monthly fee for the weekly shows and no way I'm paying for the awful PPV card tomorrow. They really should have built some new characters on the weekly show before holding a PPV.

Feels like quick cash solution to get them out of the hole they are in.

Like you I liked the NWA Powerr on Youtube, the fan participation was brilliant but they've lost so much talent and what they have now (overall) is just not good enough

I would like AEW to help them out though

I thought they would definitely call in a favour to AEW (for letting them use some NWA talent) to fill out the card for tomorrow. It's an awful card. Can't believe they're charging a full PPV price for it.

Zicky seems to be getting ahead of himself a bit.

His gimmick is entertaining within the realm of NWA where a lot of stuff is played straight, but he'd be eaten alive up against a Kingston or Moxley in AEW.

That being said, €250 a month sounds so bad it can't be true surely.

I do have a sense of humour but I felt stupid having asked the same thing as you and hadn’t a smart reply to your funny post so I just answered honestly.

24-03-2021 12:17am

Nothing really buzz or noteworthy about their first weekly show back.

They are crazy putting it behind a paywall. It's really not worth it tbh, as much as I enjoyed them first time around (but on YouTube).

I was definitely expecting some AEW talent to show up which wouldn't be a bad idea because the NWA is so promo heavy. Could really help a few on the AEW roster.

Agent Coulson · 02-06-2021 11:28am

Left NWA and has the odd match in AEW Elevation or Dark

CastorTroy · 02-06-2021 1:02pm

Was there a rematch between Kamille and Rosa?

RollieFingers · 02-06-2021 1:27pm

Aldis/Murdoch seems like a snoozefest, and the rest of the card isn't much better, can't imagine too many people paying for that.

Lithium93_ · 06-06-2021 10:32pm

According to PWInsider,

Kylie Rae

has signed with the NWA, after they worked out a deal with Impact.
