Watched the latest episode of NWA USA. It’s shorter than Power. Goes by like a breeze.
* The Fixers are a guilty pleasure. Just big fucking dorks who think they’re the best. Was kind of funny.
* Lol, there’s this guy who does a magician gimmick named Jake Dumas. He’s like a cross between Abyss and Penn Jillette. I want to say that he’s awful, but there’s some awkward charm to this. He uses a chain he procures from his hat after misdirecting the referee, then he sleeves it so he can’t get disqualified.
* After the match, Jake Dumas predicts there’s a card in Kyle Davis’ pocket. He then takes the card and uses it to cut under his opponent’s eye. It’s fucking great. By the way, the other guy, Eric Jackson was like a clean-cut amateur wrestler type and looked really good.
* Ricky Morton’s son, Kerry, is in the NWA. He radiates a good babyface energy. He’s feuding with Colby Corino. Simple stuff. Works for me.
* Ariya Daivari cut a good promo calling out Nick Aldis. Daivari so good at being the snivelling younger sibling with a chip on his shoulder.
* Nick Aldis…what a star, man. The air changes when he is out there. He’s big time. He and Daivari had a really good match that made sense given the physical difference between them. Aldis is a bit cheeky with this disrespectful young kid. Doesn’t fall for his original chicanery, but eventually makes a mistake and gets his leg worked over. Aldis can work with anyone on the planet, I bet. Just a great main event.
Overall, I really enjoyed NWA USA. I will definitely check it out next week and might make Sunday mornings my NWA block before I have my morning coffee or something.
