Joe and Andy take a broad look at episodes 23 and 24 of Powerrr, while dealing with heavy topics such as Nick Aldis action figures, Sazeracs, Taterville, boredom, and how to win a wrestling match against Tyrus. 

The Deans of NWA Podcasting are back to review the National Wrestling Alliance's first pay-per-view event in more than a year, Back for the Attack, and they take a look at the episode 22 of NWA Powerrr. Other topics of discussion include: The Nick Aldis Windsor knot, how to escape a Full Nelson, the number one female jobber, AEW chants, and Thunderfoot! 

The National Wrestling Alliance is gearing up for their first pay-per-view event in more than a year, and NWA Powerrr is allegedly on the horizon. We preview the upcoming show and wildly speculate on match-ups. 

What were the best moments in the National Wrestling Alliance in 2020? What were the worst? In a year in which a worldwide pandemic managed to ruin just about everything, there were still some bright spots in the NWA. In our final episode of 2020, we try to separate the wheat from the chaff and look towards 2021.

The National Wrestling Alliance launches a new show, Shockwave, but how does it measure up to Powerrr? Also, the NWA loses another key member, and future production has halted again as Covid-19 ravages California. In the meantime, we mark out over an appearance of one of our favorite wrestlers on a recent episode of AEW Dynamite.

The NWA's light continues to fade away as more wrestlers announce departures from the organization. On the one-year anniversary of our show, we struggle to find anything worth talking about, but there's always Thunder Rosa -- and video games.

We take a look at recent episodes of Primetime Live, including a battle between Zicky Dice and Pope for the TV Championship. Meanwhile, more key NWA talent has left the organization, but president Billy Corgan tells fans to "hang in there," because Powerrr could be back soon.

Trevor Murdoch brings home the NWA’s national title, we review two episodes of the United Wrestling Network’s Primetime Live, and the NWA sends fans a survey, but what does it mean for the future of the organization? We try to figure it out. 

On this episode we cover Thunder Rosa's recent matches, remember Road Warrior Animal, and we take a look at hits and misses from the first two episodes of the United Wrestling Network's Primetime Live, featuring matches with the NWA's Nick Aldis, Thunder Rosa, Eli Drake, and Kamille. Other detours along the way include craft beer, Ring of Honor, luxury cars of the 1980s, and we wonder if the "10 Pounds of Gold" is short a few ounces after Nick Aldis' match with Mike Bennett!

There have been stirrings in the National Wrestling Alliance recently, so we shocked the podcast back to life for some surly palaver on a wide range of topics including: How AEW is looking more like the NWA these days; a new NWA pay-per-view option; Nick Aldis the soccer dad; the apotheosis of Thunder Rosa; who fled the NWA and who's left; custom wrestling matches, disgruntled Zoom meetings, and more.

The #SpeakingOut movement rocked professional wrestling last week, leading to serious allegations against many involved in the sport. One report aimed at NWA vice president Dave Lagana, has had a chilling effect on the organization. With Lagana out, the NWA has ceased production of new content, and it's unlikely we'll see any wrestling from them until 2021. This effectively ends the Back into the Fire podcast ... or does it? Joe and Andy try to make sense of it all. 

We take a look at the first painful episodes of the NWA's Carnyland series; NXT puts on a clinic with their recent "pit fight" battle; and we wonder if Elon Musk could save professional wrestling.

Joe and Andy ponder what WPC's enigmatic "Carnyland" might be, while rambling on a variety of topics including weird merch, ineffective pile drivers, the slow-motion belly-to-belly suplex, the future of the NWA, Tasha Steelz, AEW and more. 

Joe and Andy ponder the tough questions: Will Kamille end us all? Do wrestlers have a "safe word?" How did Marty Scurll make it sound like he was breaking Nick Aldis' fingers? Why would anyone want to wrestle New Jack? Did John Stossel try to ruin our childhood? How far can Marko Stunt be thrown by Lance Archer? Also, when will we see the NWA in action again?

We join the WWE Network to mine for classic NWA / Mid-Atlantic / WCW content that warped our childhood. The irony isn't lost on us! Also in this episode, we riff a bit on Wrestlemania 36, Starrcade, our favorite moment from Monday Nitro, and more.

Joe and Andy ramble about how COVID-19 might affect wrestling, and take a "where are they now" look back at participants in the NWA 70 pay-per-view. We also share thoughts on the Vice TV series "The Dark Side of the Ring," and we search for "lost promos" on YouTube. Links discussed in this episode: Nick Aldis on cancelling the Crockett Cup NWA 70 pay-ver-view Ric Flair gives Ricky Morton a training bra George South vs. Ric Flair (1985) Dark Side of the Ring series on Vice TV Ole...

Joe and Andy take a look back at the second episode of Circle Squared, preview match-ups announced for the Crockett Cup, and offer up some wrestling-related viewing suggestions for passing the time during the COVID-19 crisis.

Joe and Andy take a look back at the second episode of Circle Squared, preview match-ups announced for the Crockett Cup, and offer up some wrestling-related viewing suggestions for passing the time during the COVID-19 crisis.

Joe and Andy ponder the effects of Coronavirus on the Crockett Cup, Tim Storm's beef with Jax Dane, Colt Cabana's new contract with AEW, and whether or not the impact of The Bouncers' Brian Milonas registered on the Richter Scale after James Storm power-bombed him off the turnbuckle in the most recent episode of NWA Powerrr .

The watches come off when Nick and Marty have words at a taping, Pope lets the good times roll, and the ladies division erupts into chaos.

Outlandish!  Be sure to catch up with us on Twitter and Instagram @backintothefire, or write to us at [email protected].

Joe shoots on his trip to Ring of Honor's "Free Enterprise" event in Baltimore, while Andy struggles to watch an episode of AEW Dark. In the NWA, we get down with the thiccness of Melina's "Final Cut" finisher, while wishing we were boozing it up with The Bouncers. 

Joe and Andy shoot on theme songs, Free Enterprise, whole-grain high-fiber breakfast foods, the return of Jocephus, Fake Mama Storm, and Herman Munster on steroids, as they break down the most recent episode of NWA Powerrr, "Pride vs. Thunder." Be sure to catch up with us on Twitter and Instagram @backintothefire, or write to us at [email protected].

Joe and Andy shoot on the best and worst moments of Hard Times, their growing admiration for Ring of Honor wrestling, a newfound respect for Zicky Dice, and whether Nick Aldis is getting setup for a loss against Marty Scurll.
