10 Reasons Why You NEED To Be Watching NWA Powerrr

10. The Nostalgia Effect

Nostalgia can so often merely be a lazy gimmick to appeal to what we all once loved about a particular period of time, yet nostalgia can be the perfect mood setter when used in the right way. And so far on NWA Powerrr, Billy Corgan, Dave Lagana and the rest of the crew behind the show have served up nostalgia in the best possible way.

While the NWA product is like a fresh slice of rasslin’ scooped up straight from the late 1970s or early ‘80s in terms of its visuals and formatting, NWA Powerrr doesn’t simply rely on nostalgia alone to win over the watching audience.

Sure, the nostalgia is a brilliant ice-breaker that will instantly make you stop in your tracks should you stumble across it on YouTube, but the actual TV that the NWA is putting on delivers a good in-ring product, some fantastic promo work, and makes sure that there is quality content on the show. Programming doesn’t simply become solely reliant on said nostalgia.
