It&#8217;s hard to be hungry when he&#8217;s been at the top, but he&#8217;s excited for the NWA on its debut episode of Powerrr. Moving on, Aldis says he respects Tim Storm, but respect is a two-way street.

Even being unaware of any of the history in the rivalry between Aldis and Storm, I got into this match. It built up well to an exciting and tense finish. The actual finish felt a little sudden, but I think it worked well. It definitely showed the smarts of the champ.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Studio<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nJoe Gallis asks Aldis for a few words. Aldis compliments Tim Storm and says he&#8217;s been proud to share the ring with him. Gallis then asks Kamille how she&#8217;s feeling after taking an inadvertent clothesline from Aldis, but Kamille doesn&#8217;t say anything. It&#8217;s a little unclear as to whether Kamille doesn&#8217;t want to speak or if Aldis doesn&#8217;t want her to speak, but regardless, the result is the same. Kamille is silent, and Aldis gets booed for it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Show Impressions<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThis was a fun show. The only match that I would rewatch would be the main event, but tonight&#8217;s episode did a good job of introducing us to a lot of the wrestlers we&#8217;ll be seeing. I like the feel of the studio and the throwback aesthetics. I think they need to make sure it doesn&#8217;t feel too campy because that&#8217;s a line they could get very close to with the look and feel, but for now it feels like a modernish take on classic wrestling. It&#8217;s a nice mix, and I appreciate that the show feels different than any other major promotion right now.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match of the Night<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Tim Storm vs Nick Aldis<\/strong><br \/>\nThis was a nice, straightforward match. I kind of wanted the finish to be more definitive, especially given the stipulation of Storm never being able to challenge for the title again, but that&#8217;s a monor nitpick in an otherwise very good main event. It sets a good standard for Powerrr.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tim Storm challenges Nick Aldis for the NWA Worlds Championship for maybe the last time in a good debut episode of NWA Powerrr.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7135,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2998,2999,297],"tags":[1743,3011,3010,944,3012,3018,3007,3003,3006,3019,987,1744,3002,3020,676,74,3013,3001,3005,1497,3017,3004,1895,3022,3000,3016,3009,3015,3021,3014,3008],"class_list":["post-7131","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nwa","category-powerrr","category-show-results","tag-atlanta-ga","tag-austin-idol","tag-billy-buck","tag-brian-hebner","tag-caleb-konley","tag-danny-white","tag-dave-dawson","tag-david-marquez","tag-dawsons","tag-eddie-kingston","tag-eli-drake","tag-georgia","tag-gpb-studios","tag-homicide","tag-james-storm","tag-jim-cornette","tag-jocephus","tag-joe-galli","tag-kamille","tag-mike-posey","tag-mims","tag-nick-aldis","tag-nwa","tag-nwa-worlds-heavyweight-title-match","tag-powerrr","tag-royce-isaacs","tag-sal-rinauro","tag-thomas-latimer","tag-tim-storm","tag-wild-cards","tag-zane-dawson"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7131","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7131"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7131\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7138,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7131\/revisions\/7138"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7135"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7131"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7131"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7131"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
