Professional wrestling is a 365 day, 52 week a year sport that can be viewed every day if a fan desires.
WWE and All Elite Wrestling (AEW) each have their own weekly programming with at least six shows between the two companies – not counting premium live events or pay-per-views. 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, which takes place on Saturdays on Comet TV. The company’s debut “Powerrr” on Comet TV attracted 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 spoke to PK Press Club Digital about why “Powerrr” should be added to viewers’ menus when a massive amount of wrestling is already on the table.

“For me, this step was a big step for NWA and in general for the wrestling business in that regard,” Argento said of NWA’s release on free television. “And the NWA product, to me, they have incredible wrestlers – men and women. They have an incredible overall product with the production. The knowledge that so many wrestlers behind the scenes and on television have in NWA is incredible. So many wrestlers have wrestled their whole 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 had. That means they already have an audience from before because it’s not like 275,000 people came out of nowhere and watched NWA for the first time. They knew it and now that it’s on TV they finally got to watch it and so far the result speaks for itself.”
Argento has been playing with NWA for about two years.

Even though he has yet to wrap a championship around his waist, he has praised the NWA.
“It’s amazing so far. I love the company. I really love working for Billy Corgan,” he said. “He’s a great person. Everyone there is really nice. It’s been a great opportunity so far. I really hope it gets even bigger and I’m sure with the new debut on Comet TV, that’s going to happen. I’m really happy to be here and a part of their company.”
Argento told PK Press Club Digital that he hopes to be the person that fans look at and see that they are capable of doing anything, no matter where they come from.

“My goal is to make everyone understand that no matter where you come from, you can achieve your goal,” he said. “It doesn’t matter how impossible or impossible it is. It seems more like a philosophical goal, to inspire people to do it. As a career goal, I would love to win a belt. I feel like I’m the champion of a big company after the sacrifices I’ve made… everything I’ve done so far to get to this point, I think it could be a huge accomplishment for me. It’s a personal goal, but if it doesn’t happen within the year next time, I will always be happy to go out and perform for all the fans, the public and I do my best.”
