In September 2019, NWA announced tapings for a weekly television show, later revealed to be titledNWA Powerrr.[8] The first tapings were held on September 30 and October 1 at theGPB Studios inAtlanta, Georgia,[9][10][11] which has since been dubbed the "NWA Arena." The series would debut on October 8, 2019 on the NWA'sYouTube channel.[8] The program's air time, 6:05 PM, is a call back to the classicWorld Championship Wrestling show by former NWA memberJim Crockett Promotions that would air at 6:05 PM on Saturdays from the early 1970s until 1992.[12][13]WOAI-TVSan Antonio news reporter Joe Galli and longtime pro-wrestling manager/executiveJim Cornette were the initial commentators.Championship Wrestling from Hollywood owner David Marquez serves as an interviewer and ring announcer.
