NWA Power


NWA Power is a professional wrestling web television program produced by the National Wrestling Alliance. The show airs weekly on the NWA's YouTube channel and Facebook page, Tuesdays at 6:05 pm ET, and is available on-demand the following Saturday on FITE TV. As with most weekly wrestling series, NWA Power features professional wrestlers performing in matches and getting interviewed. These elements together create and further the storylines of the program and build towards the NWA's pay-per-view events.

History

On May 1, 2017, William Patrick Corgan bought the National Wrestling Alliance, including its name, rights, trademarks and championship belts. Full ownership took effect on October 1, 2017. Corgan, Vice President Dave Lagana, and their production team would rebuild the NWA brand, acknowledging its history from its original inception in 1948, while gradually transitioning into a singular entity.
In September 2019, NWA announced tapings for a weekly television show, later revealed to be titled NWA Power. The first tapings were held on September 30 and October 1 at the GPB Studios in Atlanta, Georgia, which has since been dubbed the "NWA Arena." The series would debut on October 8, 2019. The program's air time, 6:05 PM, is a call back to the classic World Championship Wrestling show by former NWA member Jim Crockett Promotions that would air at 6:05 PM on Saturdays from the early 1970s until 1992. WOAI-TV San Antonio news reporter Joe Galli and longtime pro-wrestling manager/executive Jim Cornette were the initial commentators. Championship Wrestling from Hollywood owner David Marquez serves as an interviewer and ring announcer. Kyle Durden serves as backstage interviewer.
Following the November 19 episode of NWA Power being listed, it was quickly taken down due to remarks by Cornette which some deemed racist. NWA released a statement the next day stating that Cornette resigned. He was subsequently replaced by Stu Bennett who joined Galli on commentary beginning with NWA's December 14 pay-per-view, Into the Fire.
