Honest question: Has NWA even been relevant since Cody won their title at All In?
Either way, now I have even more reason not to support them.
The first season of Powerrr had some positive buzz. The shine wore off pretty quickly though.
I use to watch Powerrr but yeah it fell off hard. Only reason to watch now is Jeannacide.
I'd go so far as to say when Cody won the belt at All In, the title was relevant, but I wouldn't let any of that praise settle down onto Billy or anything he did besides saying "Yeah sounds good" to the booking decision.
But in a less round-about way: No not really. They were making some motions in the pre-to-early-pandemic (my time frames are skewed due to the pandemic lasting eleventy-hundred years..) and getting some viewers, but then...issues.....and more issues... Then 99% of their talent who had talent like Rosa, Starks etc jumped ship to greener pastures leaving behind the 'What the fuck we can gets' that draw nothing and Billy thinks hes serving up prime rib lol.
To be fair I loved them during the original Powerrr days (when it aired before Dark on Youtube) but kinda tuned out after the Cornette incident.
And taking themselves off Youtube and paywalling the content didn't help.
I think Cody vs Aldis was about their names and less about NWA. I don't recall they went much into the promotion, itself, just the history between Aldis and Cody.
