NWA Ring Warriors Presents: Battle of the Belts March 29th
The next NWA Ring Warriors card will be in Fort Lauderdale at the National Guard Armory on Thursday, March 29 at 7:30 p.m. Titled “Battle of the Belts,” the event will kick off South Florida’s WrestleMania weekend which includes shows and events from Ring of Honor, Dragon Gate and WrestleReunion.
The Main Event will feature NWA World Heavyweight Champion “Scrap Iron” Adam Pearce taking on a challenger from Ring of Honor who will be hand picked by legendary NWA manager and current ROH producer James E. Cornette. Cornette will be in attendance for the show.
Also on the card, current NWA World Tag Team Champions, The Dark City Fight Club, return to face the challenge of former NWA and WWE World Tag Team Champions, The Head Bangers, as well as one of the most successful independent tag teams in the world, The Red-Devil Fight Team, in a three-way-dance.
NWA National Heavyweight Champ Chance Prophet will clash one more time with The Tokyo Monster Kahagas, except this time it will be in a Steel Cage and the only way to win is for one of the competitors to climb out of the cage. Not only will there be two NWA officials at ringside, but former three-time NWA World Tag Team Champions, the New Heavenly Bodies (“Vivacious” Vito DeNucci and “Casanova” Chris Nelson) will serve as special enforcement referees for the match.

NWA Ring Warriors: Main Event plus tournament pairings for 12/14/2011 ‘Inaugural Brawl’
October 29, 2011) Fort Lauderdale, Fla. – NWA Ring Warriors announced today that on
Wednesday night, December 14th, the NWA World Tag Team Champions, the Dark City Fight Club, will defend their titles in the main event of the “Inaugural Brawl” in For Lauderdale against two members of pro wrestling’s most heralded and often controversial stables – Degeneration X.
“For DX members ‘Bad Ass’ Billy Gunn and Sean ‘X-Pac’ Waltman, this will be their first shot at NWA gold together,” said NWA Ring Warriors Chief Operations Officer (Talent) Larry Brannon.
“And I fully expect them to bring everything they have with them in order to walk out of the Fort Lauderdale Armory as the new NWA World Tag Team Champions.”
Brannon explained that a win against Dark City, however, would not be an easy task as the reigning champs for the most part have held their titles since November 2010, except for a two week period this past May.
“There is a reason why Jon Davis and Kory Chavis are the NWA World Tag Team Champions,” Brannon said. “Simply put, they are a very tough team to beat. They have all the attributes that a team must have to be called champions and as such they have successfully turned back every challenge thrown at them … and that includes some very impressive Indie and NWA-based duos.”
But is it enough to turn back the challenge of two seasoned, savvy competitors like DX?
“We’ll find out soon enough,” Brannon said, emphasizing that this will be their first in-ring meeting and fans can expect “just about anything to happen.”

New Match Added To NWA Revival: Bunkhouse Boys Get their Shot
The Dark City Fight Club will be defending the NWA World Tag Team Championships against the Bunkhouse Boys at NWA Revival Oct. 7th 2011 at the Metrolina Expo Center in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The Bunkhouse Boys have been one of the more dominant tag teams in West Virgina for quite some time. They had issue challenges to the Skull Krushers that fell on deaf ears. The Bunkhouse Boys were told that they need to build up their reputation outside of NWA Mountain State. The Boys would challenge the long standing NWA North American Tag Team Champions Team Mega and would nearly wrestle away the prestigious North American Championship Belts away.

3 NWA World Titles On The Line At Fanfest

New NWA World Heavyweight Champion The Sheik has three challengers looking to get a shot at the famous "10 pounds of gold." Former champ Colt "Boom Boom" Cabana, 3-time former champ "Scrap Iron" Adam Pearce, and current TNA Television champion Gunner are the three top contenders, and each has a compelling case for why he should get the opportunity to fight for the championship. All have confirmed they'll be in Atlanta as well!

This showcase of the very best the National Wrestling Alliance has to offer takes place Saturday night, August 6 at the VFW Fairgrounds in Carrolton, Georgia (a regular stop during the glory days of Georgia Championship Wrestling.) The all-star card is being held in conjunction with this year's NWA Wrestling Legends Fanfest Weekend in Atlanta August 4-7.
NWA World Junior Heavyweight Champion Craig Classic will defend against longtime Alabama Junior Heavyweight Champion "Action" Mike Jackson, and the NWA World Tag Team Championship will be defended on the card, as well.
Charter buses will be available for a nominal fee to provide roundtrip transportation from Atlanta's Airport Marriott (site of this year's fanfest activities,) to Carrolton's VFW Fairgrounds, for any fanfest attendees that would like to attend the matches. It's about a 50-minute drive each way. The buses will leave Atlanta's Airport Marriott at 5:30 p.m. and return by 11 p.m. (just in time for "All My Rowdy Friends" with "Rowdy" Roddy Piper!)
As in previous years, those with fanfest VIP "All Access" Passes will be admitted to the matches free of charge and prior to non-VIPs.
More details on the night of wrestling will be forthcoming, as well as an opportunity to signup for the charter bus service to the matches. For more info, please visit http://www.NWALegends.com/

NWA FL kicks off 2011 on April 23rd Jacksonville FL.
On April 23 in Jacksonville, FL, the NWA returns with a HUGE card. The Dark City Fight Club will be in action to defend their NWA World Tag Team Titles and Craig Classic will be in action to defend his NWA World’s Junior Heavyweight Title providing both can successfully retain their championships until the show date. Also scheduled to appear is NWA North American Heavyweight Champion - The Sheik as he defends his title against Colt “Boom Boom” Cabana. NWA FL tried to secure 3 time NWA World’s Heavyweight Champion - “Scrap Daddy” Adam Pearce to defend against the #1 contender, The Sheik but negotiations fell through. When The Sheik was reached for comments he was quoted as saying “Adam Pearce is a PIG and I will make him bleed like the PIG that he is. In this game of chess he is my pawn and I will get my hands on the NWA World’s Heavyweight Title before long. I must be granted a match before May 1, 2011 whether he likes it or not so I am not worried, Allah is my guide and Jihad is my way. Death for the glory of Allah is my greatest ambition. I will chop the head of the beast and strap the 10 pounds of gold around a righteous man’s waist once and for all!”
If all that wasn’t enough…many more surprises will be unveiled to shape this colossal card in Jacksonville, FL. Stay tuned for more details in the coming weeks.

An Interview with "Magnum" Joey Ryan

JAY CAL: Joey as you may or may not know, I’ve followed your career for long time. I remember when you first debuted for Ultimate Pro Wrestling back at the Galaxy in Santa Ana. Could you tell the readers a little about your roots into professional wrestling?
JOEY RYAN: Here we go. This question. Always this question. Every single interview I've ever done has started with this question. What's with it? Perhaps people can read the other 800 interviews I've done and know the answer to this question already. If I have to sit here and be creative with my answers, the least you journalists can do is be creative with your questions.
I started training at Jesse Hernandez's school in San Bernardino, CA under Jesse, Bobby Bradley, Mikey Henderson, Frankie Kazarian and a whole list of others who helped out there. I really got a great foundation to build off of. After I started competing in matches, I decided to get a different kind of training to become more well rounded, and thus I traveled to UPW in the Huntington Beach, CA and moving to El Segundo, CA during my time there. UPW is where I met Brian Kendrick who took over as trainer there. UPW was at a down time then as they had just lost their developmental deal and attendance for classes was down and so often times it would be just Brian, Lil Nate, Sylvester Terkay and me there. During this time is where I felt I grew the most as a wrestler because I got a lot of one on one training from a guy who was trained by Shawn Michaels and got further training from guys like William Regal while he was in Memphis. This was about 2002 and I was already a very active wrestler in SoCal. Then in 2004, and I realize this is no longer "roots" but I decided to train again, also to become more well rounded, this time at the Inoki Dojo in Santa Monica, CA under Bryan Danielson.
JAY CAL: When you started your career, you kept a very clean cut whole-some look. You never took any short-cuts, you always worked hard for the fans appreciation. What inspired the sleazy “Magnum” look you’ve adopted in the past years? And does it bother you that you’ve lost some of your older fan-base?
JOEY RYAN: Money inspired it. And I make lots more now than I did then. I'm also a lot more famous now than I was then. You wouldn't believe the places that I get recognized. I also like to reinvent myself from time to time to keep everyone on their toes. You have to do that when you're in the spotlight all the time like I am. As far as my fan-base goes, I don't see much of a drop from "clean cut" as you put it to "Magnum." Sure maybe a few casual fans aren't down with "Magnum" but the die hards are with me. As a whole I think "Magnum" has far eclipsed what "clean cut" got as far as fans go.
JAY CAL: Of your career accomplishments, I know you are proud of your appearances in the World Wrestling Entertainment. How was it that you were asked to compete for the WWE? And who helped you get their?
JOEY RYAN: I've had six total matches for WWE and seven appearances. Bonus points to those who know the non-wrestling appearance. Any how, my initial WWE outing is all thanks to Rick Bassman. Say what you will about the guy, but he made a dream come true for me and I will always be grateful to him for that. I should also give thanks to Nova who booked me in my first WWE match because, in his words, not mine, he "knew I could work" and got the ball rolling because Ricky Steamboat was the agent, liked me, and got me my next WWE booking and so on.
JAY CAL: I could only guess that national recognition must be a great feeling, as per your appearances in the WWE. But let’s talk a little about your appearances for Wrestling Society X. You teamed with Disco Machine as That 70’s Team, how did this team come to fruition and why did the union end with WSX?
JOEY RYAN: This was the brainchild of Kevin Klienrock, so I think it's more than fitting that it's a WSX exclusive. Actually you should give him a lot of credit because he put just about the only two guys that weren't either going to flip around a lot or beat the snot out of people together and created the most entertaining duo on that show. Why do I say it's the most entertaining duo? Because I defy you to find a casual wrestling fan that watched WSX and doesn't remember "the 70's guys." That show was moving a million miles a minute, and at times could be hard to follow, but we stood out and made an impact. Sure we did it with schtick, but that's because we knew it would be hard to keep up with everyone's athleticism, so in essence, we worked smarter, not harder.
JAY CAL: In your early years, you formed a union with Scott Lost as the X-Foundation and won tag team titles all over So Cal. You still team with Lost today in the PWG Super-Stable, the Dynasty. You received much acclaim in the short-lived WSX as That 70’s Team. And you formed a dynamic tag team with Karl Anderson as the Real American Heroes, holding the NWA World Tag Titles for 7 months. Do you consider yourself a tag team specialist or is it just coincidental of all the tag team glory you’ve received?
JOEY RYAN: I've been fortunate to have the best partners in the world. Each one works well with me in the environments we're placed in. You see, Scott is great at the all out, who gives a crap, leave it all in the ring style that PWG is accustom to. Far better at it than I am. When I'm competing side by side with him, it brings me to that level. Disco Machine is great because he knows what his strengths are and isn't afraid of how he looks in the process. He brings in me the ability to be more carefree with what others may think. Karl Anderson is probably the most like me in that we have an old school attitude complete with not taking crap from anyone, free to speak our minds and are beyond not afraid of the consequences of our actions. I don't know if I'd call myself a tag team specialist, but I certainly have a talent in adapting to my surroundings. It's a gift, and a curse.

JOEY RYAN: Machine Gun and I just followed our hearts and did what we thought was right. Nobody fights for this country on the home front anymore. We were in Las Vegas, Nevada which is a city in America, in theory with proud Americans living in it and WE were getting booed by waving an American flag while the team waving the Mexican flag was being cheered. Unbelievable. Where's the justice? I'll tell you where it is, we took matters into our own hands and brought justice to Las Vegas. As far as The NWA World Tag Team Titles are concerned, we are the best tag team in the world, so it was only a matter of time.
JAY CAL: Speaking of your tag team partner, I spoke to Karl Anderson a few months ago about what it meant to his career to become a World Tag Team Champion. Anderson is now on his way to New Japan. What did winning the NWA World Tag Team titles mean to your career and what is your next career move now that your partner is leaving the continent?
JOEY RYAN: I've had a lot of success in professional wrestling and a lot of people knew of me before winning those belts, but being one half of The NWA World Tag Team Champions was the first time that I was being compared to greats like Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard and that brought a whole new fame and notoriety to me. It also gave me a lot of opportunities to travel the country and the globe. None more important than the trip to Australia last November which I was apart of because of those belts. I do however wish the Alliance could have done more with us during our reign. I feel like there are a lot of teams out there across the country worthy of Title shots, but the NWA is still in a rebuilding process and there isn't a lot of money to go around and Machine Gun and I don't come cheap. You get what you pay for and if you want the best, you gotta pay for it.
I'm not too worried about myself right now with Machine Gun taking off in Japan and neither should you. We should just watch his career blossom. I'm sure I'll be alright. After all, I am still one of half of the PWG World Tag Team Champions, not to mention still on the active roster for NWA Pro, so I'm sure Vanderpyle, Pearce and I will find a way to get by with Machine Gun overseas.
JAY CAL: My follow up is does this end the Anti-Mexican and Anti-Australian campaigns or are you going to find a partner to replace Anderson?
JOEY RYAN: Machine Gun can never be replaced.
JAY CAL: What is next for the “Sleazy Movement,” what do you want to do next?
JOEY RYAN: Like I said, I'm still one half of the PWG World Tag Team Champions, so I guess I'll have to go on defending that. PWG is pretty famous and well known too.
JAY CAL: Joey, I again want to thank you for taking the time to do this interview. Is there anything else you’d like to say to the fans?
