All right, back to business with Strictly Business, the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion has made himself unavailable today because he is preparing for that massive main event, but I know you’ve been in the back with him, so how he’s been preparing?
Royce Isaacs: This is real cute, Joe. You talked to Nick and you asked about, Kamille. You talked to me. You’re asking about Nick. Why don’t you just bring out Tom out here, so you can ask me questions, I guess. It’s fine, okay. Nick, he’s the world champion. He’s doing great. It’s Strictly Business. Business is a booming and our stocks are on the rise right now.
Joe Galli: Well, I think one would argue, Strictly Business is doing well, but I think you’re on a little bit of a losing streak.

Joe Galli: Well, wait a minute. You’ve lost to Tim Storm, he’s pinned you, twice. You had a match with James Storm, where you basically chickened out. And the common denominator seems to be, May Valentine. It all started when you started to be with her.
Royce Isaacs: Wait a second, are you trying to imply that I’ve been losing because me and May haven’t slept together yet?
Joe Galli: What?
May Valentine: There is nothing wrong with being pure, okay? There’s nothing wrong with making your man wait. And also, he will always be a winner to me, okay?

Whether you’re my family, whether you’re my friends, whether you’re somebody that’s just trying to make it through daddy, if Pope can help you, then Pope does.

After all the years and all the things we’ve done together. I know they’re counting us down, I get it. Look man, we shouldn’t have had that match, you know what I mean? But you know what, Pope kind of convinced us or pushed us a little bit. Maybe The Pope pushed us a little bit too hard, but you know me, I’m not gonna blame nobody, I’m a grown ass man, you know what i’m saying? We don’t blame nobody, we went out there. Pope was right, we should’ve got that victory. We needed that victory to get back into the title scene, but here’s the thing that I want y’all to understand, I’m not Mr. Rah Rah or a role model, but let’s keep it thorough real quick. We don’t lose, we learn, that’s it.
David Marquez: All right. Well, will you be taking Homicide’s place in the last chance gauntlet?

You can say whatever you want with that. I’m not gonna wish nobody lucky man. Y’all do you, i’m gonna do me. My heart is with my man, Homicide, that’s my blood right there. You see what I’m saying, that’s my blood. I gotta check him out, alright?
David Marquez: Okay, understood.
Aron Stevens Karate Demonstration
David Marquez: Aron Stevens, what are you doing here? What is this?
Please watch the videos above to see The Question Mark deliver these unique techniques. It’s pretty funny.
Aron Stevens: The following is a self defense seminar and demonstration, brought to you by the Mongrovian Karate Association along with the National Wrestling Alliance. At this time, I asked you to please show the proper respect for my sensei, the man known as, The Question Mark? Yes, we’re all very excited. Yes, I don’t know what happened before we came out. This is not playtime, this is very serious business, so please address it as such and act appropriately. Now, Silence! Now I asked and you all may participate if you would like for the opening cemani. We will face Mongrovia and bow. Thank you. Students, please show the proper respect for here sensei. If you would like to learn karate, you can visit the question mark dojo for the price of $99 a week, you too can learn the secrets. Now first, The Kata. Notice the fluid movement. This stems from a northern style waterfall technique. Years of precision, tap into 20 seconds of excellence, thank you very much. Wait a minute, what’s that?
I heard a few doubters. You don’t like the Kata? Well, Mongrovian Martial Arts are amongst the most deadly techniques in the world and times there are attackers. Sometimes if you’re one, I want you to pay very close attention because, shut up. These techniques could save your very life. Amazing. That is Mongrovia. Now, we live in a very violent time. Sometimes, people have weapons Oh my god, he’s got a gun. Ladies and gentlemen, this is why Mongrovia has remained a free country for thousands of years. It’s these kind of techniques. 99 dollars a week, the question dojo. Now, as we all know, sometimes things can get a little wild in the home and everyday household items can be used as weapons. Oh no, it’s a spatula. You will not find that in any other system of self defense in the world today. Now, there are times when people try to get little cutie with us and they hide things like, mace pepper spray, call it what you will.
If that’s not worth $99 a week, I don’t know what is. These techniques will save your lives. Now, watch this. You think that this system is not complete? What happens when there’s more than one attacker? Gentlemen, your positions. Ready, go. Mongrovia doesn’t have a nuclear program and that is why. But some of you may still have doubts. What if these techniques were rehearsed? Will this work? Silence! Will this work in a combat situation? Now for the finale, you will all witness firsthand, the power of Mongrovian Karate. Ladies and gentlemen, this oak is Mongrovian Oak. Ten times stronger than any other man. Twenty times stronger than a human genome. He needs to focus please. Sensei, I’m ready. I’m ready for the fourth degree, I can do this. I can earn my fourth degree black belt in Mongrovian Karate.
The Question Mark: KARATE !!!
Stevens prepares to break the oak in half. Ricky Starks blast Stevens with the oak to close the segment.
Ricky Starks: Let me tell you something, Ricky Starks never ever forgets.

David Marquez Interviews Eli Drake & James Storm
David Marquez: Okay folks, we’re just moments away from our huge main event. Eli Drake. James Storm. As we approach this main event, I want to know, what do you think about Ricky Morton and his chances?
Eli Drake: Let me talk to you. Dave Marquez, I don’t know if you heard it before this camera started up and we walked out here, I heard everybody saying, ELI DRAKE. But tonight, you’re looking at the cowboy here. You look at Eli Drake here, but what I feel is some fever here because what NWA has been all about is catching lightning in a bottle and I think it might happen again when we crown Ricky Morton, new NWA Worlds Champion.
James Storm: You know, i could come out here and I could talk about my match at Into The Fire, but at the end of the day, what it says is, I lost plain and simple. I’m a man to admit it. So what men do is they suck it up, pick themselves up and they carry on. And I’ll go to the bottom of the list and I will work my way up until I get my opportunity again. But tonight, it’s about the man, the myth, the legend that they call, Ricky Morton. You see, Ricky made me want to become a tag team wrestler and I’ve become part of some of the greatest tag teams in recently wrestling. But tonight, Ricky Morton showed me all the time, that the underdog could always beat the big dog, if he has the will, the drive and the heart. And so I was standing backstage, having a couple of adult beverages. And I looked to my left and I saw, Ricky Morton and he was all hyped up on Mountain Dew.
So Nick Aldis, he’s gonna be all over your ass like a spider monkey. And let me tell you something, Ricky Morton to me is like Dale Earnhardt. He was number three on the track, number one in my heart. Raise hell. Ricky Morton for president 2020. Let’s make the mullet great again. Can I get everybody to stand up? Let’s bow your head, we’re part of a great tag team, go ahead. You sure? Because I’m about to do this. Can everybody stand up, bow your head and let’s pray. Dear lord, tonight we’re here on NWA Powerrr, another great episode. Can you give Ricky Morton the strength just to kick the living the crap out of Nick Aldis? And sweet baby Jesus in name we pray, amen.
Eli Drake: Well hold on for a second because I have to tell you, I heard Nick Aldis come out here, he’s always spewing his little whiny tales about everything he’s got to go through. And i’m gonna tell you like this, he talked about all the sharks, all the snakes when he first came to America. Like he had some bad impression of coming here. A lot people would say, America, love it or leave it, but I don’t say that. I don’t say that at all, Nick Aldis.
As a matter of fact, what I say is, stay here, don’t go anywhere, make your home here, get your citizenship because now to the end of your life, I want you to stand right here, so that Ricky Morton, myself, James Storm, Tim Storm, Mamma Storm, Thunderstorm, Sandstorm, hell even Dave Marquez can all give you 100% Grade A American Ass Kickings for the rest of your god damn life.
James Storm: And if you don’t like that, we have one thing for you, sorry about your damn luck.
Eli Drake: YEAH!
