National Champion Phil Shatter to defend in NWA Southwest

The National Wrestling Alliance's National Title has a strong history in the state of Texas.  Since 1997 two very proud representatives from NWA Southwest have been National Champion.  Former NWA Southwest Texas Champion Kevin Northcutt proudly wore the National Title multiple times.  The man who beat Northcutt for the National Championship, Hotstuff Hernandez even traveled to Japan to defend the title against Shinya Hashimoto.  Both former Texas Heavyweight Champions went on to become the National Champions.  And on October 2nd for the NWA Southwest Road Show in Altus, Texas, the NWA National Heavyweight Championship returns to Texas.  And Phil Shatter in the same vein as Northcutt and Hernandez is powerful.  Shatter has had successful defenses against the likes of Caprice Coleman, Ace Rockwell, Gary Valiant, Truitt Fields, Orion Bishop, and event reinging NWA Worlds Champion Adam Pearce.  Shatter will make his first venture into the state of Texas coming off a heartbreaking loss his opportunity at the NWA World Championship with Adam Pearce at the NWA Legends Fan Fest, when the North American Champion attacked both Pearce and Shatter in the main event.

Which lucky NWA Southwest Superstar will get their opportunity at the National Championship?  Will it be NWA Texas Champion the "Largedor" Michael Faith?  Former Texas Champion Chad Thomas?  Maybe NWA-SW/WOW Champion Blue Demon Jr. or a new opponent all together.  Only time will tell.  But Phil Shatter might just find out that every thing is BIGGER in TEXAS.

Lance Cade congradulates Chad Thomas

Here is a YouTube video of Lance Cade congradulating Chad Thomas.

New NWA Texas Heavyweight Champion!

Chad Thomas redeemed himself by defeating NWA Texas Champ Ben Galvan at the NWA Southwest - PWF Wrestleplex.  Both men beaten and bloody, faced off in what was somewhat of a rematch to fill the NWA Texas Title vacancy after Kevin Northcutt missed a defense due to injury.  Thomas didn't just sign a contract to face Galvan.  He had to go through to big men, Lance Cade and NWA Oklahoma Heavyweight Champion Dane Griffin.  

"I said I would, and I did," said Thomas. " This belt is the pinnacle of my career to date and winning it in Amarillo makes it even more special. Galvan was a great champion and one of the most physical wrestlers I have ever faced but there was no way he comes to my house and keeps that belt."

NWA Southwest Commissioner Ken  Taylor after the Triple Threat match in Whitesboro, announced he felt Cade was treated unfairly in that match and would face the winner of Galvan and Thomas.  Thomas won the Texas title, but he'll be facing The Roughneck Lance Cade for the Lucha Americana International Show on on July 18th in Brownsville.  There is no love loss between Cade and Thomas.  That can be heard when I interviewed Lance Cade for Alliance Radio.  You can hear it by clicking on this link, Lance Cade returns to the NWA.

Lance Cade gets NWA Texas Heavyweight Title shot in June

Lance Cade is fuming after being the target of a three on one attack

most of the match that led to a 20-count out outside the ring last Saturday night in Whitesboro, Texas. The end result Chad Thomas was the last man standing in a Triple Threat match and now gets Texas title shot against champ Ben Galvan.

The crowd was not happy, and neither was Cade, and a review of the match on video proved his protest clearly was valid. Therefore, NWA-SW Commissioner Ken Taylor informed Cade that he will get the next Texas title shot next month at NWA-SW/Lucha Americana in Brownsville.

"I have just this to say....if that's the way it's going to be around here I can be very mean, and mean is what you'll get,'' said Cade. Taylor said after reviewing the video it was apparent Cade was targeted by both opponents and was interfered several times by Thomas' manager Jack Logan at ringside. He further stated that Logan is now suspended as Thomas' manager in any future matches involving Lance Cade, He also added if he found by video evidence on Logan interfering in any other matches his manager license with Thomas will be indefinitely suspended.

The Valley area of Texas has not been the site of an NWA Texas Heavyweight title match since the early 80's, so a lot of fanfare will be coming from NWA-SW / Lucha Americana about hosting this title event once again in deepest South Texas.
