Original Air Date: 01/28/20Taped Before A Live Audience at the GPB Studios in Atlanta, GeorgiaWhere the hell was the "Into the Fire" intro, bro? I need that to get jacked, bro.Just days removed from another amazing PPV, the NWA returns to the comfy confines of the GPB Studios. Sean Mooney has joined the team. I like how the NWA is just very slowly adding pieces to the product, refining and defining their onscreen image.Mooney is a quality pick up that brings a bit of the old WWF sophistication to the program while also reemphasizing the importance of the promo's in the NWA. With just an hour of tv time alloted each week, it's the promos that must carry the show from point A to point B each week. And if there is one thing this roster does, it's promo it's ass off every week.NWA World champion Nick Aldis is out to boast about his victory over ROH's Flip Gordon. If you haven't seen "Hard Times," this wasn't' the best Aldis title defense, but I'd like to see another match between the two. It just felt a bit ... rushed, I guess. Not a horrible match by any means, just not what I was looking for.Aldis says Marty Scurll is hiding, to which Mooney interjects and reminds Aldis that Nick had him escorted out of the building. Aldis said this is fake news and the crowd got on Aldis, calling him a coward.Nick defended himself, saying he wasn't a coward - and he'll prove it later in the show, as he and Marty had a sit down meeting; and we'll all know why Aldis calls himself the Dealer by the end of it.New NWA Women's champion Thunder Rosa came out for an interview. It wasn't very long before Melina and Marti Belle were out too. Melina stole the spotlight from Rosa, who became the first Mexican born NWA World Women's champion in the promotions history last Friday. Melina is just not ... I would rather just have Rosa speak. Melina isn't that great on the mic. It's announced that Allysin Kay, former champ, has used her rematch clause and will battle Rosa next week.It's a night of meeting the new champs. New NWA World Television champion Ricky Starks comes out. He said he was proud to hold a belt with the lineage of Terry Funk and so many other greats of the past. Said he's not looking to rewrite yesterday, just wanted to add several pages of his own. He's a great talker. Starks called out Zicky Dice. Dice told him he wants to the TV title which resulted in a match up on the show.The New NWA World Tag Champs were up next. Eli Drake & James Storm came out and Storm was drinking one of those dirty pops he likes so much and he was lit up like a Las Vegas night. Aron Stevens and The Question Mark came out to challenge them. Storm kept interjecting into Steven's promos cutting jokes. This was a fun little segment - Steven's plays a great smarmy asshat while Drake and Storm seem like guys I want to sit a bar with and mock motherfuckers with.Aldis and Scurll finally sat down to chat. Aldis doesn't understand why, with all his money and fame, Scurll has to come into his world and try to take the one thing that means the most to him, the Ten Pounds of Gold.Scurll replies simply, that he's never been world champion. For 14 years he's wrestled, he's never been the world champion. It's not about money, it's about knowing if he's good enough.Aldis tells him, if it's not about money, they ... at The Crockett Cup, in April, if Marty loses, he has to reimburse every fan in attendance.This whole thing was fucking genius. The conversation, the clause, the chemistry. SO GOOD.Match Results:Royce Isaacs defeated Andre GuhnRicky Starks successfully defended his TV title agasint Zicky Dice.
