Itβs been over two years since Matt Cardona has graced the squared circle of the National Wrestling Alliance. With the Samhain signature event, he steps between the ropes for some action against Daisy Kill, and you can be certain on this NWA Powerrr that he is Alwayz Ready.
We come to you from Center Stage in Atlanta, GA, as the NWA makes its first appearance in The Peach State in over five years. Joe Galli and Danny Dealz have the call, and your First Match of the Night is…

“HollyHood” Haley J vs. Sirena Veil
According to Dealz, there is a reference to Haley being a competitor in the Power Slap promotion, which she and other wrestlers recently participated in. She may get a chance to showcase those skills as Haley goes βHollyHoodβ on rising star Veil, and lands a facewash in the corner to Dracula’s Assistant. She gets paintbrushed, and Veil tries to fire back.
At one point, Vipress gets on the apron, and Haley boots her off. But that isnβt the strangest thing. Midway through the match, Tim Storm comes out to join the commentary team, and he acts as if nothing happened during his time as Baron Von Storm. Makes one wonder who helped reboot his brain?

As @HollyhoodHaleyJ battles @SirenaVeil on πππΌ πππππππ π€π£ ππ€π πͺ, a ghost of the past shocks broadcasters @JoeGalliNews & Danny Dealz. Itβs @RealTimStorm! π€―

But, I digress.
Veil stages a comeback with a senton to cover for a two count, and then she whips her to the corners and drives the double knees to the back of Hollyhood. She adds some Kawada kicks, but Haley catches her last boot and backdrop suplexes her on the mat. A Shining Wizard, followed by a ripcord clothesline, gets Haley a count of two. She swings again and misses, and Veil catches her with a headbutt and dumps her unceremoniously to Vipress and a βsecurity guard.β The ref starts to count her out, but Haley gets back in at nine, slaps the taste out of Veilβs mouth, and finishes with a stomp to make a statement.
ππππππ πππΌπ@HollyhoodHaleyJ might have just turned the lights out on @SirenaVeilβs already dark world!

Now for tag action withβ¦

The Good Brothers (Doc Gallows and “Machine Gun” Karl Anderson) vs. The Hard Way (“The Veteran” Jack Vaughn and Dalton McKenzie)
Fans pop hard for the Good Brothers. Vaughn and McKenzie are no strangers to the NWA and have a big opportunity to make an impression.
McKenzie works Anderson to start, and they trade blows in the corner. A dropkick to the leg, and McKenzie gets him to the corner to tag Vaughn in. He adds some punishment until Anderson makes the tag to the Big LG, but The Veteran nails Gallows with a throat chop to even the odds. Now, The Hard Way whip him to the ropes for a double clothesline, but Gallows ainβt doing Red Rover, and he bulldozes through both men.

Back to Anderson, and Vaughn and McKenzie cut the ring in half as they take away The Machine Gunβs ammo, and he becomes a Brother in Peril. Vaughn cinches him with a bear hug to squeeze the air out of him and then drops Anderson like a sack of potatoes. He rushes to the corner, and Anderson ducks out of the way. A hot tag to Gallows, and The Bug LG is en Fuego on both men.

The Brothers connect with a backdrop/neckbreaker to Vaughn for a two count and set up the Magic Killer but McKenzie stops them in their tracks. Now, the Hard Way attempt with a Hart Attack on Anderson, and Gallows clotheslines McKenzie out of the ring. Vaughn is alone, and the Magic Killer makes a mark in this tag team match.

NWA President Joe Cazana is sitting at commentary and explains why this match is taking place. His reason? βFans donβt deserve to see it,β is the rationale. Mostly, this is just his way of abusing his position to punish those affiliated with the Kross Fire promotion with The Power of Douchenozzleryβ’.

Now itβs time for the Main Event betweenβ¦
Daisy Kill vs. Matt Cardona
Once the bell rings, Cardona ducks out, telling Atlanta heβs gonna do it on his time. He heads back to the squared circle for a lock-up, and Kill preens outside, broadly asserting he wonβt play along with his mind games. He ties his hair back, and both men show off for the fans, who are more in the corner of The Indy God than they are the Rock Star of the NWA. Once the peacocking is done, Cardona then eats a spinebuster and almost gets pinned, but he kicks out and then rolls out of the ring for a timeout.
Kill follows and works the body. He sends him back to the squared circle and gets some punches to Cardonaβs head. As Kill climbs back in, Cardona is Alwayz Ready with a punt to the middle ropes to hisβ¦err, inner Daisyβs.

He follows with Radio Silence for one, twoβ¦kick out by Kill, and Cardona is beside himself as no one has ever done that with his finisher. A schoolboy from behind gets Kill a near-fall, and Cardona comes back with a clothesline, followed by some ground-and-pound action. He rushes to the corner, where Kill trips him up and rams him headfirst into the second turnbuckle. A ripcord clothesline misses, and Cardona now delivers with a flash Radio Silence, and he makes the emphatic pin for one, two, and three.
Your Winner via Pinfall: Matt Cardona
After a commercial break, Cardona gets on the mic and wants a shot at the Ten Pounds of Gold. He wants Billy Corgan out to face him in the ring.
Out comes Eric Smalls with a steel chair, and the NWA President is here, too, since he ainβt no Zero.

Smalls takes the mic from Cardona, and Iβll let Corgan say his peace:
“Matt Cardona, welcome back to an NWA ring. I’m getting the feels standing here with you, because the last time you were in an NWA ring, this hallowed National Wrestling Alliance ring, I got within an inch of your nose, and I told you, Matt Cardona, ‘Go to hell.’ You remember that? Matt, remember that night? Heck, I cursed your name. I cursed your family, I even prayed that your wife would divorce you so there’d never be another Cardona coming down the line ever again.
And was that behavior becoming of a CEO and president of this incredible wrestling brand? Did I disgrace this brand with my behavior?
Probably.
Was it worth it?
No, it wasn’t worth it. I’m out here to tell you I owe you an apology. Matt Cardona, I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. First of all, you are a former NWA World Heavyweight Champion, and you deserve my respect and these people’s respect. Only 60 men have held the Ten Pounds of Gold, and you’re one of them.
I hear you. Matt Cardona and I underestimated you, Matt Cardona. I thought you were just another scumbag carney taking advantage of this promotion. Now listen, I said I was wrong. I am apologizing to you. No one has done more for professional wrestling in the last two or three years than Matt Cardona; that’s a shoot from the bottom of my heart. So words are cheap. Talk is cheap. I’m going to make you a promise the next time you stand in this ring, this hallowed ring. The next time it will be for the Ten Pounds of Gold. It will be for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, and please accept my apology.”
Well, isnβt that a daisy? Cardona is happy, as are the fans in attendance, as he shakes his hand and accepts his apology, as this part of Samhain comes to a close.
