[5.0] "Kind of a throwaway show. The best match on the show was the tag team showcase match between James/Thomas and Drake/Lev. While not much of a match, the opener was entertaining and did help set up a potential feud between Magic, Inc. and The Carnival. The Spectaculars being reduced to a comedic jobber team is kind of sad considering the potential the team had when Brady Pierce was part of the team. The Slimeballs seem to have some interesting elements in their characterization. The Slimeballs seem to be taking elements from Public Enemy, Nasty Boys and Backseat Boys. Don't know if this was the last of the November 4th tapings but, if it is then it was kind of a letdown."
[4.0] "A weak Powerrr. Some enjoyable stuff but a lot of so-so or not for everyone material. The opening bout was an angle, and everyone would know ahead of time whether they were going to enjoy it or not. (I'm kinda on the fence for such things and the hot crowd cheered me into having fun.) There was a Father Jim promo for Max, a rough women's match, a positively backyard promo from "the Slimeballz" (huge enthusiasm but totally corny) and then TIM STORM returns and he says he's returning to the ring to tag with Jax Dane! That's gotta set the floor for this show at a '3' for anyone who cares about the traditions of the NWA, right? The tag bout we got after that was fun, four young athletic guys following a tidy layout from the agents. Jackson Drake brought out a big flip bump to sell the comeback and a good time was had by all before the show started to slide. Sam Starr turned heel in a security tape angle that ran a bit long. Then it's time for the main event and even though the Spectaculars are a joke that Southern Six music means it's time to party. Unfortunately they cut to a replay of the Specs talent search to cool me off and the beatdown that Kerry & co delivered was totally fine but totally anticlimactic. The match made sense, it's probably leading to something. I'm just not sure it's leading to something good."
[1.0] "The latest episode of NWA was an abysmal showing, straying far from the quality of wrestling and entertainment one expects from such a historic promotion. The pursuit of television contracts seems ill-advised when the product on offer is as lackluster and uninspired as witnessed in this episode. The show kicked off with a 'Turkey Gobbler Match' between CJ and Aron Stevens, an appalling choice to start any wrestling show, let alone one by the NWA. The gimmick was a complete misfire, cheapening the legacy of the promotion. Aron Stevens, who once showed promise as a wrestler, was reduced to a pitiful state in this match. The cheerleader-esque character of CJ was overly contrived, failing to add any value to the show. As if things couldn't get worse, the debut of Big Mama was a disaster. Lacking charisma and with exaggerated screams, her presence was more annoying than engaging. The match dynamics were illogical, with Big Mama selling Kylie Paiges moves excessively despite a clear physical mismatch. Paiges attempt to work on Big Mama's leg was unconvincing, revealing a lack of pressure or real effort. The tag team match featuring Adrian Thomas & Hunter James versus Alexander Lev & Jackson Drake was a slight improvement, at least showcasing some semblance of wrestling. However, the young and physically unimposing wrestlers lacked coordination and struggled with ring awareness. Adrian Thomass attempt to incorporate MMA style into wrestling felt misplaced and ineffective compared to Hunter James's more flamboyant approach. The Six Man Tag Team Match was another letdown. Wrestlers like Rolando Freeman and Tyler Midas were so physically unimposing that it undermined the credibility of the match. The Southern 6s inability to execute a simple vertical suplex on Midas only compounded the disappointment. The spectacle suffered greatly from showcasing wrestlers who appeared more ordinary than extraordinary."
