Who is Takuya Sugi -- Japan Expo NWA France

NWA France's annual participation to the Japan Expo is usually met with the addition of world class talent to the event.  This year is no different.  As announced in the NWA France: ICWA Returns to Japan Expo article I posted earlier this week, Sugi is the big announced name for this years Catch portion of the Expo.  In previous years the show had Metal Master and WWE's Daniel Bryan.  Now Sugi might be a well known name in the States his International Presence has been well documented.  Sugi has competed in Japan with ZERO1, HUSTLE, Inoki Genome Federation, Michinoku Pro, Big Mouth Loud, and New Japan's Lock Up Brand; The United States with Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, and recently in Mexico with AAA.

 As The★ZEST he defeated Ozamu Namiguchi for the WWA Jr. Heavyweight Title and later as NOIZ defeated a second The★ZEST.  The WWA Jr. Heavyweight Title was briefly recognized by ZERO1 as the disputed portion of the WWA from Mexico.  Takuya Sugi has competed for several NWA affiliates over the years, but this will mark the first time he will compete in NWA France.  French fans will get one heck of a show with Sugi on the card. 

NWA France: ICWA -- Returns to the Japan Expo

Wrestling is back at the 2011 Japan Expo from Paris-Nord Villenpinte Exhibition Center from June 30th to July 3rd 2011. The ICWA will be returning to the annual event off the heels of their June Brawl show earlier in the month from Lestrem France. In the past this festival has hosted wrestlers from all over the world including WWE's Daniel Bryan and Metal Master, check out the results from 2008 here. This year, the French NWA Members are going to be no different bringing in direct from AAA, Sugi and his rival Ronin. Sugi is known to finish off his opponents with the Shooting Star Press and the Catch Fans in France are in for a treat when the duo face off. Ronin and Sugi have been facing off in Mexico and the grudge will carry on to France during the Japan Expo. Also expected to participate at the annual Catch event in France is the NWA France Heavyweight Champion PV Red, NWA European Champion FRITZ Hellmeister, NWA European Tag Champions French Flavour and Kim Kaycee the NWA European Ladies Champion.

NWA Mini World Champion wins the AAA Mini Championship (RETRACTION)

Don't be fooled like me.  The Octagoncito who won the AAA Mini Title in a TLC Match was NOT the same Octagoncito who holds the Pro Wrestling Revolution/NWA Mini Worlds Championship.  The Octagoncito is the Original as confirmed by Gabe Ramirez.  The Octagoncito who on last night is the 2nd Version of Octagoncito.  Sorry for the confusion. 

JACK EVANS MAKES SURPRISE APPEARANCE

Jack Evans made a surprise appearance at Damage Control 5, making the save on behalf of ring announcer Lalo Gonzalez from the former EWF Tag Team Champions, The A-List. Jack will be challenging Ryan Taylor in what he said will be one of the toughest challenges he ever faced. The match takes place on February 21st at the AWS Arena for an event held by El Pappy Pineda Promotions.

The last event El Pappy Pineda Promotions ran was in conjunction with NWA Pro AWS.  

NWA Star Jumps Ship...

Former NWA Jr. Heavyweight Champion has jumped ship. Rocky Romero who until recently was competing in Mexico has Grey Shadow has left CMLL to join AAA. Romero who had been a keystone in the Junior Weight Division in the NWA has competed in some of the largest wrestling promotions in the world. Romreo captured the CMLL World Super Lightweight Championship and under the guise of Black Tiger Mask IV, Romero had won the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship and the NWA World Junior Heavyweight Championship. Making him champion in 3 different promotions, in 3 different countries. Romero who recently rejoined New Japan's ranks makes the jump to AAA as the curent reigning CMLL World Super Lightweight Champion. It is also being reported that Romero will join fellow NWA regular Sean Waltman in the new AAA stable called Degeneration MEX.

Bad News for Sean Waltman.

According James Caldwell of the PWTorch, it seems that Sean Waltman had checked into a treatment facility, under the program that the WWE had setup for wrestlers who previously worked for their company. Waltman prior to checking in for treatment has been sharing time between AAA and NWA Pro. Waltman in the PWTorch article was quoted as saying "I'm fine actually. I'm going to get my knee fixed while I'm out."
Waltman had been making a big impact in both the AAA and NWA Pro in very different roles. In AAA Waltman is a Rudo, teaming with the Legionaires, which is more or less a heel stable headed by Konnan that features talent from the United States. And for NWA Pro is quite the opposite as one of the major oppositions to Adam Pearce, the Real American Heroes, and even won a match over Bryan Danielson in Australia. Waltman had also previously wrestled Adam Pearce for the World Title in 2007 and I expect that when he is 100% he will face "Scrap Iron" another time to face off for the World Title.
