Five Reasons Why Every Wrestling Fan Should Watch NWA 70


Image result for nwa 70 ppv

5. Let’s start with the obvious, this is the 70th Anniversary of the NWA!!!
The NWA is short for National Wrestling Alliance and was founded in 1948. Prior to the formation of the NWA, there were regional wrestling promotions who all claimed to have a world championship, however, none of them had real “world” classification; as many of them had little to no connection to other regions outside of their territory. The NWA was formed to create the true “world” champion. This would be cross-territorial with the “world” champion being recognized all the way from the Midwest to Japan. This revolutionary idea started the basis for the nationalized and world-wide wrestling scene. The NWA is the predecessor to many fans’ favorite wrestling promotions. Therefore, a 70th-anniversary celebration should have the support from true wrestling fans in appreciation of the worldwide and national wrestling scene.

4. You will get the chance to see and meet former NWA champions.
The history encompassed within the NWA is unprecedented. Former NWA World Heavyweight Champions include Dusty Rhodes, Ric Flair, Lou Thesz, Harley Race, Kerry Von Erich, Sting, Dan Severn, Ken Shamrock, Jeff Jarrett, and AJ Styles. That is a who’s who of the wrestling business. It has been confirmed that former NWA World Heavyweight Champions Jeff Jarrett and Colt Cabana will be there. There will probably be countless other former NWA Champions in attendance. Expect the NWA 70 to be the place you will be able to see and maybe even meet some of your wrestling heroes both past and present.

3. The NWA is on a popularity surge.
With the success of All In and Cody winning the NWA Heavyweight Title at All In there is new attention and interest in the NWA. Thus, titles are being reactivated. A New NWA National Champion will be crowned at the event. The NWA announced that they will be having a tournament to crown the new champion. There will be 8 competitors who will compete in two four on four elimination matches. The two winners will advance to a one on one encounter to crown the new NWA National Champion. The 8 entrants are Colt Cabana, Scorpio Sky, Jay Bradley, Sam Shaw, Ricky Starks, Sammy Guevara, Mike Parrow, and Willie Mack. Also, one of the greats Jazz will be defending her NWA Women’s Title. Jazz has been NWA women’s champion for 745 days; putting her in the category of some of wrestling’s elite. All In helped bring popularity and interest back to the NWA. Expect the NWA to put on a barnburner of a show to impress fans.

2. Expect classic wrestling matches.
The NWA is known for its traditional wrestling style. While there will likely be something there for new school wrestling fans, the NWA will keep this event classic and will speak to traditional wrestling fans that love some good ‘ole wrestling; not sports entertainment. Cody is defending the NWA World Heavy Championship aka the "Ten Pounds of Gold" against Nick Aldis in a two out of three falls match. Expect his match to harken back to vintage wrestling styles and exceed expectations. The entire card is expected to be filled with solid matches that will satisfy fans’ thirst for good ‘ole wrestling.

1.     JIM CORNETTE IS RETURNING TO COLOR COMMENTARY!
Yes, Jim Cornette is returning to color commentary. This will give the matches on the NWA 70 card that true wrestling vibe. Jim's familiar voice will sing to true wrestling fans and will remind listeners of the old school NWA, WCW and WWE days. For everyone that says they miss the old school wrestling days; this is their chance to get their fill. Anyone that is a fan of Jim Cornette knows…he WILL ENTERTAIN.


The NWA has just started rolling out matches and announcements but so far NWA 70 is something to be beyond excited about. The event will take place on October 21, 2018 and will be available on PPV.

The Undertaker vs. Triple H - WWE Super Show-Down Results and Grades #SSD #WWE

HBK came down to the ring first. The fans clamored to get pictures of HBK...to be honest I would be too. Shawn is still in great shape, now he is the heartbreak grandpa. HHH came out next with a mask on but without the fanfare I expected. He came to the ring pretty fast and it was a pretty basic HHH entrance. He does have new ring gear which is nice. The Melbourne crowd loved HHH. Kane then came to the ring. I love how his name shows up when he walks to the ring it's pretty cool. The Undertaker's entrance of course was epic. All you saw were phones everywhere as fans attempted to snap pictures of the Deadman. The Undertaker looked great in his entrance and brought presence and prestige to the night. (Except for the gray on the sides...Undertaker I never want to see a another gray hair on your head). Fans complain about the older wrestlers taking the spotlight but the Undertaker's presence gives a PPV that extra push that makes it a classic. The match was no disq...

The New Day vs. The Bar - WWE Super Show-Down Results and Grades #SSD #WWE

The show opened up surprisingly with the SmackDown Tag Team Championship title match. This is the second time the SmackDown Tag Team Championship has been the show opener. They were on the pre-show last PPV which technically is a dark match but it was still the first match the fans saw of the night. I am not sure what this means, perhaps the WWE just wants the New Day opening up their PPV's from now on. Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods as a pairing is just amazing. Their intro tag team sequence was absolutely lightening. Both of them are so coordinated and agile. Kofi shows why he is one of the best tag team champions of all time. Really great showing by these two. Sheamus and Cesaro are good but honestly not as good as Kingston and Woods. At least not as a tag team. However, they play to their strengths which is power, heel tactics and viciousness.  Of course, anyone that uses the Sharp Shooter is near and dear to my heart. I am sure that is homage to Cesaro's friend Tyson...

WWE Super Show-Down Predictions #WWE #SuperShowDown

WWE Super Show-Down will take place in Australia this weekend. While many say that it is a glorified house show, I do not think it is. I think the WWE will use this show to lay the groundwork for Evolution, Crown Jewel, and Survivor Series while simultaneously building bigger storylines. For instance, there are rumors of Kurt Angle's return and Asuka and Dean Ambrose's heel turn. Bobby Lashley and John Cena vs. Elias and Kevin Owens This is an easy match to predict. Cena and Lashley will get the win here. This will likely be the show opener so John Cena can give a big speech welcoming the crowd and exciting them for the night's matches. This will be clear-cut and simple. Delighting the Australian fans while also showing Cena's dominance in his return.  Cedric Alexander vs. Buddy Murphy  WWE Cruiserweight Championship  This match is the biggest toss up on the card. While many fans criticize WWE Super Show-Down as a glorified house show; the WWE ...
