The Rock Gives Props For The New NWA Powerrr Premiere

Former WWE Champion The Rock took to Twitter to give props to Jim Cornette and everyone else responsible for the new NWA Powerrr show that premiered this week on YouTube, seen below.

The exchange began when Cornette, who is doing commentary for the show, responded to a fan question about how small the ring is.

Cornette responded, “Actually, standard size for all @nwa rings (& most Southern territories) has been 18X18 since the 1960-70’s. Some spot show/small studios used 16X16. Tradition in WWF was 20X20 due to large Northeast rings dating back to boxing rings in the 1950’s, some up to 24X24. #NWAPowerrr”

That’s when The Rock chimed in with props for Cornette and the others behind the new NWA Powerrr show.

Rock wrote, “Congrats Jim, the boys, crew etc. Stumbled across this show last night and enjoyed it. I grew up in territories and started my career at channel 5 in Memphis so I have a lot of love/respect for small scale, crowd tv shows. Cool vintage feel. Keep working hard boys. Rock”

Cornette responded to The Rock and invited him to the next taping. Cornette wrote, “Rocky, thank you so much for taking the time to check it out! I’m sure I speak for @Lagana and @Billy in offering you two tickets ABSOLUTELY FREE to the next taping! If you have more than 2 guests I’ll sneak one in the back for you!”

NWA boss Billy Corgan re-tweeted Rock’s comments, but has not responded.

NWA Announces New Weekly TV Show NWA POWER Starting 10/8

With WWE, AEW and Impact each starting new TV deals, it was only fitting one of the oldest pro wrestling organizations joins in on the fun. Billy Corgan’s National Wrestling Alliance announced a weekly television show that will be taking place on Tuesday nights. Dubbed NWA POWER, the program will be shown at 6:05 p.m. ET worldwide starting on October 8th on the NWA’s Facebook and YouTube channels.

Corgan made the announcement via a press conference at the Hard Rock Cafe in Atlanta, Georgia. The Smashing Pumpkins star purchased the NWA in 2017 and has made strides to bring back the brand to prominence. So far he has brought back the Crockett Cup and reintroduced the NWA Women’s, Tag Team and National Championships to the world. He also gave the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship a prominent spot at All Out, when Nick Aldis defended the title against Cody Rhodes.

“This return to its roots for the National Wrestling Alliance with studio wrestling is being made widely available for all great wrestling fans at the same time around the world,” The NWA announced via press release. “You can watch this show with no restrictions, no paywalls. Watch with other NWA fans during the live premiere every Tuesday at 6:05 pm Eastern.”

It was previously announced that the NWA would be hosting their first set of tapings on Monday, September 30 and Tuesday, October 1 in Atlanta, Georgia. In the above video, Corgan discussed the need for the NWA to produce their own programming, especially in today’s wrestling scene.

“It’s one thing to say you’re rebooting the NWA, it’s another thing to run matches on someone else’s stage,” Corgan stated. “We’re very grateful to those people that shared their stage with us, most recently Ring of Honor, which was an incredible opportunity. But now it’s our time to step forward, and it’s time to bring the NWA back into the spotlight, and run on its own oxygen. So, we’re very excited to announce that in October, in Atlanta, we’ll be doing our own television again.”

If you can’t watch the live premiere, the show will be available on-demand via FITE.tv every Saturday night. The organization also announced its PPV return in Atlanta on December 14th.
