What IS happening in the NWA
Not much is known about why NWA Chicago Lucha has ceased to be a NWA Member. But we do know that effective immediately that there is no longer NWA representation in Chicago. And the person who suffers the most is The Sheik, who was slated to receive a World Title match as reported right here. The original co-op was brokered through NWA-OK president, Mr. Farat, but those plans seem to have been scrapped. NWA Oklahoma had promised to share talent with the Chicago group. Its also unfortunate, because they had already scheduled to showcase the NWA Worlds Title, with Blue Demon Jr. and the Sheik. Previously NWA Oklahoma had attempted to work at an agreement with NWA Arizona's Impact Zone Wrestling. Due to management changes in IZW, no joint effort has taken place yet.
Another NWA membership has ended too, The NWA Affiliate in Colorado, Fusion Pro Wrestling has decided to close shop. Along with the FPW promotion, the wrestling school, APWA, have stopped all business. Fusion Pro Wrestlers; had appeared on the NWA Showcase earlier this year. And members of Fusion Pro were also seen in NWA Utah’s UCW-Zero. The last man standing was Stondifirious, who will go in the record books as the last NWA Champion in Colorado.
For those who miss NWA Showcase or NWA Unleashed, might I suggest checking out On-Line NWA Action section of the Alliance Blog. Joining NWA Anarchy, NWA On-Fire, NWA Main Event, and IZW’s Impulse, three on-line wrestling shows have been introduced to the NWA Family. NWA Fusion (of Virgina) started airing new episodes of its NWA Meltdown. Also added to the NWA Family of On-line wrestling shows is NWA Force One's (New Jersey Affiliate) Character Honor and Respect and NWA New Jersey’s Slamcast.

NWA - IZW July 28 2009 Ringside Report
From the Desk of NWA - IZW Front Office
NWA-IZW July 28, 2009 Ringside Report
The Sets in Tempe, Arizona
Exclusive to www.impactzonewrestling.com
Greg DeMarco opened up the show, and immediately called out referee Ryan Castelucci. DeMarco had Castelucci’s paycheck from July 14 in his hands, claiming that Ryan had to “do the right thing” tonight if he planned to earn his living. DeMarco forced agreement from Castelucci before being interrupted by IZW Board of Directors Representative Nick “Flood” DeMichael. DeMichael announced several matches for the show, including an Impulse Title defense, a #1 Contender Tag Team match, and an IZW Championship match. He was then interrupted by “Miracle” Mike James, who requested a rematch with Derick Neikirk, whether it be for the Arizona Heavyweight Championship or not. DeMarco initially refused, but then attempted to take James by surprise by granting him the match, and starting it immediately.
Match 1: Arizona Heavyweight Champion Derick Neikirk fought to a 15-minute draw with “Miracle” Mike James in a non-title match.
Match 2: The BFF Express (Johnny Manson & Tyson Tyler) beat Lucha Star & “El Cholo” Mike G to become the #1 Contenders to the NWA-IZW Tag Team Championship. The Express won with the Friendly Fire after a miscommunication by Lucha & Mike. Following the match, Mike G showed his frustration when he turned on Lucha, disappointing his partner for nearly two years and shocking the IZW fans in the process.
Match 3: “The King of Phoenix” Payed Daily pinned the returning Dread Pirate Bernie following a DDT on the ring apron. Bernie and Skull & Bones tag team partner Mike James then celebrated Bernie’s return with the fans.
Match 4: Dom “The Bomb” Vitalli pinned “The Irish Hand Grenade” Marty Murphy to win the NWA-IZW Impulse Championship. Marty was putting Dom in position for the TK602 when former 602 Wrecking Crew tag team partner Jacob Herzberg’s music hit, allowing Dom to roll Marty up for the championship win.
Match 5: “The Limited Edition” Tommy Drake defeated “Freak-O-Suave” Frenchy Riviera by disqualification. Riviera used a chain slipped to him by Greg DeMarco to knock Drake out, but referee Ryan Castelucci saw the chain and called for the
disqualification. Riviera protested, but DeMarco immediately hit the ring and began to berate Ryan for both his job as a referee and his dream to become an IZW superstar as Ryan Castle, much to the ire of the crowd. The crowd begged for Ryan to strike DeMarco, but DeMarco knew that Castelucci wouldn’t risk his livelihood. Ryan agreed, informing DeMarco that Ryan Castelucci wouldn’t do such a thing, but Ryan Castle would. Castelucci proceeded to knock DeMarco out with one punch, ripping up the paycheck DeMarco held ransom and shedding his referee shirt.
Match 6: In the Main Event, Impact Zone Wrestling champion “The East Coast Killer” Dean Radford pinned “The Institution of Professional Wrestling” GQ Gallo. Radford had Gallo pinned when Derick Neikirk pulled referee Sal Erakat out of the ring and threw him into the guardrail. Gallo and Neikirk proceeded to attack Radford when “The Feature Presentation” Jay Garland made a surprise return to IZW, coming to his nemesis’s aid. Once Radford & Garland cleared the ring of Neikirk, Radford connected with the Radicator and scored the pinfall on the former two-time IZW Champion.
Stay tuned to www.impactzonewrestling.com for more fallout from July 28 at The Sets, including several new episodes of IZW Impulse! Both Marty Murphy and Derick Neikirk issued challenges that were recorded for Impulse, and we hope to have news on both challenges right here at www.impactzonewrestling.com later this week. IZW returns to The Sets in Tempe on Tuesday, August 11, 2009 at 7:30 PM.

NWA Oklahoma working with Indian Casinos and Tribal Lands
NWA Southwest could be considered the fastest growing territory in the NWA. With 7 promotions in Texas and more to be added in 2009 is easy to see why. Although Texas carries the most Southwest members, do not forget about Oklahoma.
NWA Oklahoma is set to take off this year as well. Already filling their venues to near capacity at their most recent shows. NWA OK is being promoted to Indian Casinos on Tribal lands tapping into a new market and gaining new venues for the NWA. The promoters for NWA OK helped secure the venue for the Southwest 11th Anniversary Show. "That's why we, the NWA-OK will continue to run on tribal land with other tribes as far off as New Mexico already contacting us with requests. Along with those shows, we'll continue to run off tribal land with shows already being projected in Tulsa, Hugo, Guymon, Lawton, Enid and Elk City among others. We are NWA-OK and we intend on running shows all throughout our territory, Oklahoma!" a staff writer revealed on the NWA Oklahoma Myspace Blog. The blogger continued to mention that "Add to that some joint ventures like returning to Livingston, TX 2 more times in 2009, working on a IWC Chicago/NWA-OK show in May, (Mr. Farat books for them as well)...and a possible joint venture with NWA-IZW in Arizona for a show in Bernalillo, N.M."

NWA Pro is growing...
The year of 2008 marks the start of a new breed of professional wrestling in California. Pro Wrestling Revolution is born and is part of the National Wrestling Alliance. With that in mind, Pro Wrestling Revolution will also be known as “La Revolucion de la Lucha Libre”. The goal is not to try to reinvent the sport of professional wrestling but take back to where it needs to be with a mixture of what it has become today. One of the major ingredients of Pro Wrestling Revolution is the mixture of Lucha Libre. It is obvious to all, this is something that cannot be contained. We have made many friends over the years and we look forward to showcasing these incredible talented luchadores.
We look forward to putting on entertaining shows for all ages and diverse crowds. We have our first date set for May 17th in San Jose, California at Mount Pleasant High School. We will be working with them all year long. We will be releasing the line up in the very near future but can confirm Hijo de Rey Misterio, Piratita Morgan and Octagoncito.
All Pro Wrestling blessed me many years ago with the opportunity to be a part of pro wrestling and I never thought I would be where I am at now. I am thankful for all the knowledge and the opportunities that were given to me, I will never forget. I am moving forward with a different chapter in my life but will never forget where I came from. I will still stay on with APW in some capacities and help where I can be of use.
We are very thankful for all the help and support in putting this together.
¡Viva la Revolución!
Gabriel Ramirez
Well this is news to me. Back in February All Pro Wrestling's Gabe Ramirez started a new wrestling promotion Pro Wrestling Revolution, a lucha libre based wrestling group. Ramirez had introduced talent agreements with the NWA Pro, bringing such wrestlers as KAFU (who is now signed to the WWE), E.G.O., Dana Lee, and J.J Perez. This expands the NWA Pro influence even greater. NWA Pro is now; California (Alternative Wrestling Show, Empire Wrestling Federation, and High-Risk Wrestling), Arizona (Rising Phoenix Wrestling and Impact Zone Wrestling), Utah (Ultra Championship Wrestling - Zero), Colorado (Fusion Pro Wrestling) New Jersey (NWA Pro East), Pennsylvania (NWA Black and Blue), and in Australia with Perth (Explosive Pro Wrestling) and Adelaide (EPW-Adelaide).
