The NWA runs their final quarterly PPV of the year today, and it comes amidst a month of white-hot controversy outside of the ring. Over the last couple months, a fast-growing inferno has erupted between now-potentially-former top star Nick Aldis and NWA owner/promoter Billy Corgan that, in reality, stretches back about a year when Aldis first lost the NWA World Heavyweight Championship to Trevor Murdoch, later had a title shot mysteriously taken away, and now has spilled over to include comments Corgan reportedly made to Aldis’ wife, WWE Hall of Famer and current NWA & Impact wrestler (and radio host) Mickie James. Aldis has given notice he’s leaving NWA at the end of the year when his contract is up and now has supposedly been suspended. But could he make a surprise unexpected appearance tonight? That threatens to overshadow another big card. A lot is on the line including Murdoch defending the 10 Pounds Of Gold against both Matt Cardona and Tyrus, who vacated the NWA TV Championship under the Lucky 7 Rules, to get into the title match (Lucky 7 Rules allow the TV Champion to vacate the title for another title shot of his choice if he makes 7 consecutive successful defenses, which Tyrus did. It’s not mandatory). These are among the TEN title matches making up the planned 14-match card.
Today’s event will be held at Frederick J Sigur Civic Center in Chalmette, LA and can be watched LIVE on FITE. The PPV itself is $24.99 and includes the live broadcast and unlimited on demand replays. If you are an NWA All Access Annual subscriber (which I am), you can watch the PPV live and on demand as part of your subscription. All Access Annual is available on FITE for $49.99/year and includes ALL NWA PPVs and current & past weekly TV show episodes. It’s a bargain just because the PPVs alone are over $100/year if purchased separately. There will also be a 1 hour pre-show before the PPV which will be available FOR FREE on YouTube (and possibly FITE). You can watch the pre-show below:

Overall show grade: C
Disclaimer: I don’t follow the TV shows as closely as I should. That being said, the biggest thing I don’t like about the current NWA product is every big match seems to rely too much on outside interference or screwjob tactics for the finish and it turns me off quickly. On paper this looked like a great card. In reality, not so much. Get caught up on the last couple months of NWA TV before watching. And apparently no Nick Aldis and no Billy Corgan, a slight letdown after everything they’ve said in the media lately.
End Show.
UPDATE: The reason Odinson didn’t have an opponent tonight because plans changed? Aldis. it was to have originally been Odinson-Alsis.
