Ricky Morton vs VSK is good.  The finish is FUCKING AWESOME.

Billy Corgan says that NWA Empower will return "eventually"

He said they were unable to run it this year due to "not enough available female talent"

Rylee Rockett is getting good quick.  Oh yeah, I forgot that Angelina Love is fucking awesome.  Her and Chelsea Green are a fun tag team.  Kamille looks good in her match,  Other things happen.

What happened that made you forget that Angelina Love is awesome? Should we be worried? That doesn't sound normal.

I hadn't seen her wrestle in a while, plus I am terribly old...

[DEAN]

Who is this Matt Vine guy?  He's good.  ( I just checked cagematch.net and he's one of those OVW dudes I fast forward through.  Now I gotta watch more OVW at normal speed now.)  Marti Belle and Allisyn Kay versus Missa Kate and Kaci Lennox is some quality studio wrestling.

NWA 74 Night 1

Preshow was fun with lots happening. Awesome to see Rodney Mack with a win, though felt bad for Pope who seems to have fallen from his days as a world title contender to now. Despite all my rage, I'm still just a rat in a cage! I love that everyone suddenly gets theme music when it's PPV, differentiates the events from the weekly shows. EC3/Mims was solid but disappointingly short as Mims usually shines in longer matches. Beelzebub's Bedlam was a cluster, terrifying ladder superplex nearly killed Sal and Taylor. 

Adonis looked good. Homicide/Kerry started slow but got pretty great by the end. Thought there'd be a title change with Homicide heeling it up, but glad to see his run continue. The Burke was fun, I was hoping KiLynn would win it for another classic with Kamille or even Markova to recapture the momentum she had a couple months back. Missa and Madi could've used a little more time in there. Cyon/Jax was solid while it lasted, even if shenanigans filled. Bully Ray giving a piece of the table to a little girl in the front row and her excitement over it was the best.

Main event was pretty awesome, legit could've gone either way but I'm glad to see Kamille's epic reign live on. Now I hope she doesn't just lose it tomorrow. Overall, a fun action-packed long night of wrestling with even more to come on night 2.

EC3 seemed to break more of a sweat cutting his crappy promo as opposed to wrestling his crappy match. 

[Serious Darius Bagfelt]

Oh and Baby Doll Jr needs to go back to wrestling school. Corgan  for all his talk of tradition he likes a lot of stupid. A lot of this was hard to watch. Main event was decent mostly because of Valkyrie. Tag title match was decent. Poor Tommy Richs jacket button looked ready to burst at any second 

[DreamBroken]

NWA 74 Night 2

Another fun preshow with matches seemingly being added in on the fly. Last night I was wanting Madi and Missa Kate to get to do more, so I'm glad they got that chance here. Surprised the face team didn't win, but also glad to see Markova have another impressive showing again. Markova and Missa were killing each other with chops at the end. 

US Tag Title battle royal was a giant cluster but ended up pretty good. the Womens Tag Title match was an awesome hate filled brawl, both teams brought it. the Missouri Tornado was also fun, loved the backstage behind the screens fight part. Kamille is the best, star of the weekend imo. Main event was ok, had a decent big fight feel, post-match was odd. Definitely a marathon of wrestling between the two nights, but an enjoyable time overall.

Natalia Markova is awesome.  I just watched the Queen Bee match.  It was preposterous to book the little gals over the gigantic Road Warrior-like gals but after that, Missa Kate and Markova beat the crud out of each other.

[Serious Darius Bagfelt]

Corgan is a dolt. Anyone that gives Control Your Narrative any type of airtime on your biggest show of the year has no clue. But William Patrick is probably CYNs one fan. Other than that abomination Day 2 was passable at points. Aldis is always class.  Ricky Morton senior citizen is better than his kid.  Liked the Woman's tag title match surprisingly since I instantly hate anything Marti Belle is in. The lego was a nice touch. I guess Kamille is the NWA version of Super Cena. She would kick out at 2 and 3/4 after a shotgun blast to the chest

I just watched the main event.  Taya Valkyrie is so punishing and great in the big match.  Kamille was great hitting powermoves so late in the match on an opponent bigger than she is.  That was great. 

On night two, Pretty Empowered is fucking great.  Ella Envy is the BEST.  I loved how she sells an ass beating by screaming in horror and then how sinister she is beating the crud out of the Hex.  Kenzie Paige accepting her inner redneck asskicker was awesome.  The Hex, especially Alisynn Kay were good bringing the violence. Max the Impaler vs Kamille wasn't as good as Max vs LuFisto but it was good.  I didn't watch anything else.

[DEAN]

I watched the four way and it is very good.

 

[DEAN]

Whoa!  Two really good matches on this- Kamille vs Allysin Kay and Doug Williams vs Flip Gordon.  So much EC3....

 

[DEAN]

Homicide is a national treasure.

 

[DEAN]

Pretty crappy this week.  Rylee Rocket goes by Roxy now and it looks like she is joining Pretty Empowered, so that's fun- as Ella Envy is all redneck bitchy to her.  Natalya and Max the Impaler was almost good.

 

[DEAN]

This week was cumulatively good this week.  Bully Ray's surprise partner WASN'T my DREAM partner (Konosuke Takeshita) but it turns it into a good match.  Dak Whatshisname and Brian Myers is good.  Chris Adonis versus Jake Dumas is good.  Nothing great, but might edge out WOW this week.

 

[DEAN]

Once again, NWA USA smokes NWA Powerrr!  This episode has PRETTY PETER AVALON- THE PRETTIEST BOY IN AEW!  

 

[DEAN]

This has Madi Wrenkowsky vs Marti Belle, Rhett Titus vs Bestia 666 and the Kamille/Max the Impaler match from NWA 74.
