Production
[edit]
Background
[edit]NWA Hard Times is an annual professional wrestling event produced by the National Wrestling Alliance. The inaugural Hard Times event took place on January 24, 2020, as a pay-per-view event.[1][2] As of 2024, the event has served as a television taping for NWA Powerrr under the NWA's "Signature Live Events" banner.
On December 14, 2024, at Looks That Kill, which took place at the Dothan Civic Center in Dothan, Alabama, the NWA announced that it would return to the venu for Hard Times V on March 22, 2025.[3][4]
Storylines
[edit]The event will feature a number professional wrestling matches with different wrestlers involved in pre-existing scripted feuds, plots, and storylines. Wrestlers are portrayed as either heels (those that portray the "bad guys"), faces (the "good guy" characters), or tweeners (characters that are neither clearly a heel or a face) as they follow a series of tension-building events, which culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches as determined by the promotion. Storylines were played out on the NWA's weekly series, Powerrr.[5]
