FITE TV PRESENTS NATIONAL WRESTLING ALLIANCE (NWA): Samhain 2023 Results & Review by Ryan Balkwill

Promotion: National Wrestling Alliance

Date: October 28, 2023

City: Cleveland, Ohio

Venue: Temple-Live at Cleveland Masonic

TV station/network: YouTube.com (Pre-Show), Fite TV.

Commentary by: Danny DealzJoe GalliTim StormPat Kenney & William Patrick Corgan

Overall Show Score: 7/10

Pros: I appreciate having this event totally embracing the Halloween spirit with everyone dressing up before their matches. Matt Cardona’s promo was very good with Billy Corgan. EC3 retained the World Championship in his hometown and there are certain moments throughout the night did make me laugh.

I did enjoy myself.

Cons: A lot of the gimmick matches had too much silliness for my likening. I still don’t get the appeal of the The Brothers Of Funstruction or Violent J. There were too many interferences in good matches and my least favourite match was that Devil’s Last Dance Ultimate Hardcore Team War Match as the opener.
