[@drctrs]

Thanks for posting this match! EC3 vs Matt Cardona sounds like wrestling classics. I miss free NWA programming on KZbin (I can’t purchase the subscription due to regional restrictions).

[@DeadKoby]

It's not a subscription to purchase. Just use a vpn to change your IP.

[@durky4891]

If you get the CW app, which is free qnd doesn't need a subscription, you can watch the episodes of their NWA Power show.

[@drctrs]

@@DeadKoby thanks for clarifying this to me. I’m going to try this.

[@keithskinner5538]

Even using a vpn doesn’t work. You have to mess around trying to create another App Store profile based in the US and not your home country. It’s extremely annoying, and if you could watch through the CW website (which you cannot, it defaults to the app), a vpn would suffice. As such, for me, I haven’t watched NWA since the whole CW thing has happened. Very disappointing, but really not surprising as US based promotions often overlook the impact of changes to their international audience.

[@DeadKoby]

@@keithskinner5538 you're thinking phone app. I'm thinking that you just use a computer to go to the cwtv website

[@Amos_Huclkeberry]

I met EC3 at the gym years ago when he was in the area filming a movie. Very friendly guy.

[@jaysonraphaelmurdock8812]

He seems cool. I miss him and James Storm in TNA/IMPACT.

[@ryandavis4448]

Crazy to think that Cardona tore his pec in a normal, standard wrestling match a few months later, and were perfectly fine after this deathmatch.

[@synthwave7967]

Thank You NWA for posting this!!! I miss watching nwa on youtube unfortunately I can't watch nwa anymore due to regional restrictions on the CW app. Hopefully they will put NWA on the CW tv channel so us canadians can watch it again without having to pay for a vpn.

EC3 is brick by brick is saving NWA

[@PacificPsycho]

Yea true - it’s gonna take a lot more stuff like this to get rid of the tyrus stink lol

[@ericjones6599]

EC3 is working incredibly hard to make that World title mean everything. He defended the title on May 29th in Japan and next month he's going to France to defend in July. Now that is a champ and his Exodus Pro is essential to building new wrestlers.

[@LyricalRevolution]

Honestly glad we are getting matches like this available for the average viewers so the history of the belts can still be viewed. For some reason I feel like holding out on the NWA title is like holding out on the NBA finals. You don't make the OG difficult to access for regular folks.

[@chunky9791]

The Indy God vs the overman omg this was a damn good match!

Two of the very best in the business. Both men”$ careers took off after they left WWE. The big company is not for everyone. Same is happening for Mustafa Ali.

Ec3 vs Cardona is my favorite indy feud. I’d watch them fight each other anywhere. 🖤

[@golleyroger7819]

How about EC3 vs CM PUNK that would be awesome do you think.

[@uhsaywhatnow]

@@golleyroger7819 ew no. I’m no fan of Punk and his toxic fan base. Worst thing he did for wrestling is come out of retirement.

[@JoeChillton]

EC3 7 years ago....a wrestling machine full of potential. It's been a rough time seeing him just fall down the rabbit hole of sheer irrelevance.

[@mitchellandrews1015]

Haven’t seen ec3 in ages. I’ve noticed with Randy Orton amongst others growth hormone makes you immobile

That experience was horrific for him. The best piece of talent they had, and they buried him simply to stick it to Dixie Carter & co. No other reason. So petty

Best NWA match in the last 2 years

[@davidhandley9007]

Wonder what harley race and the other legendary NWA champions would have thought about the NWA title being wrestled as a death match?

[@brandonselitetv1436]

It's been done before many times

[@Turnheadcough]

Why not hell dusty and flair basically did a death match every night for years the amount of blood them two shed over that title I don’t see anybody having a problem with this unless they over do it like Moxley does sometimes but occasionally if the story warrants it then why not it kicks it up a notch

[@crro6114]

I think that not many know that fact about the old nwa and only have the idea that it is pure wrestling

Flashback in the late June of 2024

[@haagenneldeberg6787]

This was awesome. I'm a very casual wrestling fan. I was a big fan as a kid in the 2000's though. I have been trying to get into it again these last couple of years. I saw a popular video that was basically dissing the whole promotion here. But the interesting thing is that I would have never watched any matches from your promotion simply because I didn't know it existed, without that video. There is something very wrong with how you promote yourself I would guess

Does NWA come on DirecTV or spectrum cable just wondering.?

[@BROKENWyTTRbbt6]

The REAL match. Man this was soooo good for CW to screw it up with the B/W to keep it “PG”; when they didn’t even put it on TV anyway it was just on the app. This isn’t meant to be condescending I’m just happy to see it uncensored because it’s such a good match. I hope Billy finds a new media deal soon so N.W.A. can be what your fans want. Not every match has to have blood, but just look at how well they tell their story in the squared circle! That’s N.W.A. That’s wrestling.
