NWA owner Billy Corgan announced on social media that plans are in place to bring back their POWERRR program.
One year ago, we shot our first episode of NWA POWERRR; suffice to say it’s been a crazy ride ever since. From trending #1 worldwide on our debut to successful PPV’s to having to stop many plans (including the Crockett Cup) due to the plague, to Rosa appearing with the NWA Women’s Championship on @allelitewrestling to now adding our voice to the collective that is Prime Time Live on the @unitedwrestlingnetwork, I can only say to our great fans, ‘hang in there. We are currently talking about bringing back POWERRR very soon, even if it means we can’t have fans in the stands because we just want to get back to work. But it’s nice to see our friend and former champion Tim Storm here. If anyone can lead us out of this, it’s a man or woman like him; who gives it all he or she’s got even when the chips are done. That sounds more grim than I mean it, ’cause yeah: still here, still kicking, and ready to get ready to rock…
The last set of NWA POWERRR tapings was on January 26, 2020, with the last episode from those tapings airing on May 12th. Since, many talents have left the company, like Ricky Starks or Eddie Kingston. But, like Billy Corgan states in his tweet, Tim Storm and Thunder Rosa are still there, like Eli Drake, Trevor Murdoch, Kamille, Thomas Latimer or Champion Nick Aldis.
Earlier this week, NWA newsletter subscribers received an E-Mail inviting them to fill up a survey. The purpose of it was to “allow us to gauge your interest in the NWA (…) and to show potential sponsors that wrestling is a product worth investing in.” NWA also explained, “The landscape of wrestling has changed over this past year for no fault of anyone’s. We are working and trying to determine the best way to bring back POWERRR. With the answers to these survey questions, we can begin planning even further. As always our end goal is to provide you, the fan, great quality entertainment while honouring the history and legacy of the NWA name.”
No news yet on an official NWA POWERRR return date. For the moment, NWA stars can be seen on UWN Primetime LIVE on Fite TV.
