NWA Week in Review for Mar. 28th

In the infamous words of Poppa Cal, better late than never, the Alliance proudly brings to you this Week In Review for March 28th, 2009.

All thought a celestial down pour prevented the Alternative Wrestling Show from holding their 7th Anniversary Spectacular, the AWS still moves on. The big news from AWS is a crowning of a new Women's Championship. Already scheduled to participate in the tournament are "The New York Knockout" Nikki, Morgan, Carla Jade, Marissa Lopez, Erica D' Erico, Ellen Degenerate, Candice LaRae, Kittana Vera, and Aiden Riley, with three more names to be announced. Morgan and Erico work regularly for NWA Arizona's IZW. The rest are pretty regular of Southern California. But that isn't the only announcement for AWS as the Alternative Wrestling Show will be holding a show in Burbank, which is an alternative to their Rowland Heights location. (see what I did there.) The Burbank show is to be a part of the Hollywood Show Convention. And lastly the AWS will in fact hold the Anniversary Show at its home at the AWS on Sunday April the 19th.

At Ring Of Honor's "Take No Prisoneers" on April 4th, our worlds champion Blue Demon Jr. steps into Ring of Honor. Demon battles Nigel McGuinness, in an International Tag Team Match. McGuinness joins Claudio Castagnoli to battle Demon and Brent Albright. This will be the 3rd NWA Worlds Champion to appear in front of a ROH audience.

Speaking of wrestling Royalty the relationship with Jerry Lawler and NWA Main Event is in full bloom. Lawler's last appearance in NWA Main Event drew crowd of over 1300 in Kentucky.

Ultimate NWA has announced it will start running again and will be crowning new tag team champions.

NWA Pro Wrestling Revolution has stripped Tag Team Champion Rey Misterio for not being able to make events and the announcement will be made soon.

Lastly "In 2009, ECCW Pro-Wrestling will partner with SHARE Family & Community Services for the first Wrestling With Hunger event. Twenty wrestlers will take part in a 72 hour show in Port Coquitlam, BC with the goal of restocking the food bank shelves and set the world’s record for the longest wrestling show ever!" This is a great positive event for wrestling and I hope more NWA members follow suit.

NWA Worlds Champion in Ring of Honor?

At "Take No Prisoners" the NWA Worlds Title will be seen again by a live Ring Of Honor audience.

"Once more the ROH and NWA World Champions will share the ring, but this time in an international tag team contest. Just signed for “Take No Prisoners” on April 4th is the team of ROH World Champion Nigel McGuinness and frequent partner, “The Most Money Making Man” Claudio Castagnoli versus “Shooter” Brent Albright and NWA World Champion Blue Demon, Jr. Albright has plenty of history with McGuinness and Castagnoli, as it could be argued that Castagnoli cost Brent the ROH Title. Blue Demon, Jr. wanted to face the best that ROH had to offer; and it doesn’t get any better than the ROH World Champion."

As of the last tapings of the NWA Showcase, a partnership was seemingly developed between Blue Demon Jr. and Brent Albright. There mutual despise of Adam Pearce has brougth them closer together in Ring of Honor. And as Albright works for both the NWA and ROH, he has become the ambassador of good will to the Blue Demon Jr.

More from Hollywood

Cards are always subject to change but from the looks of it the tag team of Cade and Murdock will be appearing on this show. Cade recently teamed up with Pearce in Canada against Scotty Mac and Brent Albright. The flyer also shows Albright, Pearce, and Worlds Champion Blue Demon Jr.
Al though a finalized card hasn't been posted yet, it is conspicious that there is not any mention of the World Tag Team Champions the SkullKrushers, the World Jr. Champion Mike Quackenbush, and it was reported on her Blog that MsChif will not be able to make this event. All that aside we'll see the Heritage Champion TJ Perkins and North American Heavyweight Champion Mike DiBiase. The card is starting to shape up. I'll be at the 2nd and 3rd days of tapings.

Albright has choice words for Pearce

Round 2 of Cool Photos

Ric Flair with former champion Brent Albright and current champion Adam Pearce. This photo must have been taken over the weekend at the RMB Fairgrounds. Ric Flair was in attendance to receive is Hall of Fame Award. Pearce and Albright later that evening clashed in a Bull Rope Match, which would earn Pearce another successful defense of the crown of the NWA.

Pearce/Albright/Flair/Globetrotters

Updates to big Showcase events in OK and TX.

The National Wrestling Alliance returns to Oklahoma and Texas with two huge events on October 3rd and 4th including the return of the legendary “Nature Boy” Ric Flair to the NWA! Here is the official preview of the action…

Friday October 3, 2008
Spirit Bank Event Center
Tulsa, Oklahoma
7:30PM Bell Time


NWA World Tag Team Title Match

Champions: Los Luchas ( Phoenix Star y Zokre) vs. Challengers: The Skullkrushers (Walker and Brown)

Since winning the titles earlier this year, Los Luchas have faced several teams that were similar to them in size including The Naturals, The Cutler Brothers, Scorpio Sky & JT Blackstar, Willie Mack & Jerome “LTP” Robinson and more. But none of those teams compare in size to the combined 625 pound Monsters from the Midwest , the Skullkrushers! In their one and only meeting last month in San Antonio , the Skullkrushers manhandled the young luchador champions until the match broke down into a brawl that resulted in a wild no contest. Now that each team knows what to expect, will Los Luchas be able to counter their much larger opponents or will new champions be crowned in the form of the seemingly unstoppable Walker and Brown?

NWA North American Title Match
Champion: Mike DiBiase vs. Challenger: “The Shooter” Brent Albright

The sad news in Tulsa is that their native son, Brent Albright, comes home empty handed. After losing the NWA World’s Heavyweight Title back to Adam Pearce at Ring of Honor’s Glory by Honor VII event in Philadelphia , all plans to welcome home the Champion have been put on hold. Pearce stated that he wouldn’t show up in Tulsa to defend against Albright because of his overwhelming hometown advantage, but Albright has other plans anyway. He fully intends a hometown celebration after he vowed to take the prestigious North American Title from Mike DiBiase. Third generation star DiBiase has other plans as well. DiBiase has added to his reign as North American Champion by recently collecting the NWA Texas Title. Adding a victory over the former World’s Champion would serve to elevate Mike DiBiase even higher toward a possible World Title match.

Special Attraction
Sean “X-Pac” Waltman vs. “Ironman” Rob Conway

Two of the biggest names and best wrestlers anywhere in the NWA will meet head to head in Tulsa . These two met on opposite sides of a tag team war earlier this year at the NWA 60th Anniversary Celebration in Atlanta . Conway came out on the losing end in that encounter and vows to get the better of Waltman this time around. No partners or back-up for either man. See who stands tall in the end, will it be done the “Con-way” or will Rob have to “suck it”?


NWA Oklahoma Title Match
Challenger #1: Slam Shady vs. Challenger #2: Spoiler 2000

When Brent Albright claimed the NWA World’s Championship he returned the NWA Oklahoma State Championship to the NWA Oklahoma offices. Because of the title’s importance, Albright felt he could not do it proper justice while honoring the schedule of the World’s Champion. This led to a flood of phone calls and emails from potential contenders for the championship. The top two contenders have been named and on October 3rd a new Champion will be crowned. Slam Shady and Spoiler 2000 are no strangers to Oklahoma Championships and certainly no stranger to each other. Both men are deserving, but only one can be Champion.

Plus King V and Blue Demon in action!

King V has been called many things in his wrestling career – Mabel, Viscera, Big Daddy V, but “Late for dinner” has never been one of them! The 6’10”, 500 pound big man makes his NWA debut in Tulsa and the opposition is in as much trouble as the catering! Also, the legendary Blue Demon will be in action! Demon has had no qualms stating his desire to get a shot at the NWA World’s Heavyweight Title and a victory in Tulsa could put him even closer to a match with the Champion!

All this plus Tulsa’s own Blake Albright, “Mr. Saturday Night” Michael Barry, XCal, Kenny Campbell, and more on October 3rd!!!

----------------------------------------

Saturday October 4, 2008
R.M. Borchard Fairgrounds Arena
Robstown, Texas
7:30 Bell Time

SPECIAL ATTRACTION

RIC FLAIR MEET & GREET!

The R.M. Borchard Fairgrounds in Robstown , Texas presents a very special opportunity for wrestling fans of all ages to meet a legend who transcends the generations. “Nature Boy” Ric Flair will be on hand for a special autograph and memorabilia event. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of America. The event will begin precisely at 3:30 and tickets are limited. Call (361) 387-9002 for more information! Come and celebrate with the legendary Ric Flair, who will inducted into the NWA Hall of Fame at the NWA Showcase Event that evening!

NWA World Title Match:
Champion: “Scrap Iron” Adam Pearce (w/C. Edward Vander Pyle) vs. Challenger: “The Shooter” Brent Albright

The biggest feud in recent NWA history continues as Pearce and Albright return to the ring one more time in their string of battles going back over a year! Pearce lived up to his promise to regain the championship, ending Albright’s reign at 7 weeks. Albright has vowed that Pearce’s second run as NWA standard-bearer will not even last half that long. One thing that is certain is that you never know what to expect when these men get in the ring. From fireballs to bloodbaths, this feud has seen it all. Rumor has it that the NWA Board of Directors is thinking of adding a stipulation to this match to attempt to end this dispute once and for all. And will special guest Ric Flair have something to say about the championship that is synonymous with his name? We’ll find out in Texas !

NWA World Tag Team Titles on the line!
Los Luchas ( Phoenix Star y Zokre) or The Skullkrushers (Rasche Brown & Keith Walker) will defend! No matter what happens in Tulsa on October 3rd, both of these teams will be in action on October 4th. The question is, who will be the World Tag Team Champions coming in and who will be the Champs when the day is through? NWA officials will announce the match-ups on the day of the show pending the previous night’s outcome. No matter who fights who, you will see the World Tag Team Titles defended and you will see two of the top teams anywhere in the NWA!



NWA Texas Title Match
Champion: Mike DiBiase vs. Challenger: Kevin Northcutt

Dual Champion Mike DiBiase puts his NWA Texas Championship on the line one night after defending his NWA North American Title against Brent Albright. His opponent is a man very familiar with the NWA Texas Championship and many other titles throughout the NWA, Kevin Northcutt. Will DiBiase’s split in focus over the two day title affair cost him or can the rising star overcome the veteran Northcutt?

Sean “X-Pac” Waltman vs. Rory Fox

One of these men is an international wrestling legend. One of these men feels that he should be. No one can deny the raw ability of Rory Fox, but he has yet to make the huge splash on the wrestling scene that many think he one day will. What better way to kickstart a career than with a victory over Waltman, the crafty veteran with educated feet. Waltman, however, is no one’s stepping stone and plans to use this match to return to title contention.

Don Juan vs. Chris Marval

For years these two men have been known throughout the Southwest as one of the best tag teams around, “The Texas Treats.” Now they will be put to the test against one another and the Treats of Texas will tangle to top the other. These two men bring their battle to the Borchard Fairgrounds Arena and we’ll see which treat is sweetest!

Plus King V and “Ironman” Rob Conway in action!

Once again the legendary mammoth, King V, will test the structural integrity of the NWA’s ring and prayers are requested in advance for anyone silly enough to get in his way. Also in action will be a man who claims he puts the Show in Showcase, “Ironman” Rob Conway!

There you have it! A full weekend of celebration as part of the NWA’s 60th Anniversary! The return of Ric Flair, the debut of King V and several titles on the line!

Join us for all the action! October 3rd in Tulsa , October 4th in Texas ! Don’t miss it!!!

And your NEW Worlds Heavyweight Champion!!!

On Saturday September 20th at the Ring of Honor Pay Per View, "Glory By Honor" Adam Pearce defeated Brent Albright to regain the legendary 10lbs. of gold. Adam locked Brent in the Crowbar and forced the submission. This marks the second time the title has changed hands in Ring of Honor. This also marks the second time that Adam Pearce has worn the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship.

:::I stand corrected:::

Alliance reader WhatInTheH informed that I mistakenly posted that the NWA Worlds Title match took place on the Ring of Honor pay per view, "Glory By Honor." The Pay Per View was taped the night before.

Biggest NWA Showcase... EVER!

There isn't really anything I can add more to this.

Things get BIG in Oklahoma

As reported on NWAWrestling.com, the stars of the NWA are return to the Southwest for what is shapping up to be a very big card. BIG being the key word as 6'5" 500lbs. King V. V who has been a dominate force where ever he works makes his Showcase debut. Also returning is Tulsa's favorite son, the Worlds Heavyweight Champion "Shooter" Brent Albright, Blue Demon Jr., Sean "XPAC " Waltman, "The Ironman" Rob Conway. And the World Tag Team Champions, Los Luchas. The 60th Anniversary tour will also feature a match for the vancant NWA Oklahoma State Championship.

Comments from Adam Pearce and Brent Albright from Mexico

NWA Mexico's Big Show

This was posted on our Message Board (if you haven't signed up yet, what are you waiting for?) and it looks like it came from the Cubsfan. Which got the image from Super Luchas. Real exciting to see the NWA picking up.

NWA Mexico Card announced for 08/30

Credit to the Cubsfan

1) Octagoncito vs Piratita Morgan
2) el Hijo Del Anibal vs Coco Rojo
3) Incógnito vs Magno
4) Solar I vs Negro Navarro [SALVADOR AMERICA]
5) Máscara Sagrada vs Veneno
6) Brent Albright vs Adam Pearce (NWA Heavy)
7) Blue Demon Jr., El Hijo Del Santo, Rayo de Jalisco Jr. vs El Dandy, El Hijo del Solitario, Fuerza Guerrera

I think the card shapes up quite nicely. Demon and Santo should draw well in the Federal District. I'm not sure if the match between Albright and Pearce is for the Worlds Title. If the title is on the line, it would mark the first International Defense for the NWA Worlds title since the split from TNA.
