Professional wrestling is a sport that takes place 365 days, 52 weeks a year and can be seen every day if a fan so wishes.
WWE and All Elite Wrestling (AEW) each have their weekly programming with at least six shows between the two companies, not counting premium live events or PPVs. Then, there’s Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), Ring of Honor (ROH), Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) and Lucha Libre AAA World Wide (AAA) with Major League Wrestling (MLW) and Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling (MLP) also coming soon with weekly programming.
The National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) also has a weekly show that takes place on Saturdays on Comet TV. The company’s debut “Powerrr” on Comet TV drew more than 270,000 viewers as one of the most prestigious companies in the industry looked to make a bigger impact on the minds of professional wrestling fans.
Cristiano Argento told Pak Gazette Digital why “Powerrr” should be added to viewers’ menus with a huge amount of wrestling already on the table.

“To me, this move was a big step for NWA and in general for the wrestling business in that sense,” Argento said of NWA’s departure to free television. “And the NWA product, to me, has incredible wrestlers, men and women. They have an incredible product overall with the production. The knowledge that so many wrestlers backstage and on television have in the NWA is incredible. Many wrestlers have wrestled their entire lives: 15, 20 years in WWE or other big promotions. The knowledge that they can share with us and teach us, it’s incredible.
“We saw (in the first week) how many viewers they got. This means that they already have followers from before because it is not 275,000 people who appear out of nowhere and watch NWA for the first time. They knew it and now that it is on television, they finally got to see it and so far the result speaks for itself.”
Argento has been performing with NWA for about two years.

Although he still doesn’t have a championship around his waist, he spoke highly of the NWA.
“So far it’s amazing. I like the company. I really like working for Billy Corgan,” he said. “He’s a great person. Everyone there is very nice. It’s a great opportunity so far. I really hope it gets bigger and bigger and I’m sure with the new debut on Comet TV that will happen. I’m very happy to be there and be a part of his company.”
Argento told Pak Gazette Digital that he hoped to be the person that fans would look at and see that they can do anything no matter where they come from.

“My goal is to be a point of view for anyone that no matter where you come from, you can achieve your goal,” he said. “It doesn’t matter how far or impossible it is. It’s more like a philosophical goal, to inspire people to do that. As a professional goal, I would like to win a belt. I feel like I am a champion for a big company after the sacrifices I made… everything I did so far to get to this point, I think it could be a great fulfillment for me. It’s a personal goal, but if that doesn’t happen in the next year, I would still be happy to go out and perform. for all the fans, the public and do the best I can.”
