NWA: Pro Wrestling Fusion Returns

Surprising Opponents step up to face the NWA Worlds Champion: The Sheik

Once last we had from the Sheik he had turned ZERO1 into his own tortuous asylum. He over ran the dojo with Sheik sympathizers Matt Stone and Mark Hussein, burned the face of poor Kenta Kakinuma and championed misery. Upon his return from Japan, it wasn't long before The Sheik made the trek to Canada to face a kindred spirit in the name of Son of Abdullah. Both men bloodied, but neither could get a decisive victory according to some reports and the match was tossed out. A day later The Sheik was successful in retaining his title in a match with former NWA Worlds Champion, the Raven.

But here is where our story takes an interesting turn. Already matches planed for July 9th in Florida against home grown talent Colby Godwin for NWA Florida, the Sheik also has said to accept a challenge from two very interesting opponents. The first name we heard about at Alliance-Wrestling was in fact Steve Corino. Corino, known for his EXTREME wrestling has had legendary wars in Japan and in the US with the likes of fellow former NWA Worlds Champion Shinya Hashimoto. Corino who works regularly all over the world but most regularly for Ring of Honor, World Wrestling Council, and ZERO1, was able to petition the NWA Board of Directors for a shot at the Sheik.

Another name has emerged to challenge the Sheik. One Ryouiji Sai, ZERO1 Heavyweight Champion has stepped forward to silence the Sheik. (The AWAStars of Wrestling Heavyweight Title is still used to represent the ZERO1 Championship, we explain that here.) Likely fed up with the way The Sheik trashed ZERO1 on his last tour, the Sheik has been invited back where this time, he will be defended the Legendary 10lbs of Gold in the Land of the Rising Son. July 3rd will mark the first time since TNA and the NWA Split that the Worlds Title will be defended in Japan. To Sai's credit, ever since the NWA and ZERO1 re-established their professional relationship, Sai has patiently waited for his opportunity to face off against the NWA Worlds Champion. Ryouiji Sai has been Ranked #4 on PWI's Top Ten for the better part of 11 Weeks. Perhaps his posturing has paid off and his opportunity to showcase to the world that ZERO1's fighters are the toughest is about to pay off.

Or this could be more villainy from the Sheik, looking to expand his golden belt collection even further. Remember Sheik was the first wrestler in the NWA to simultaneously hold The NWA Florida Heavyweight Championship, the NWA Midwest Championship, and the NWA North American Championship. His narcisim knows no bounds, perhaps the Sheik is just looking for another reminder to the Japanese wrestling fans that he is really that good. Either way July 3rd 2011 will be a day that changes the NWA and ZERO1 forever.

"BTY" Colby Godwin talks NWA Worlds Championship The Sheik

The following is a promo by The Sheik's opponent "BTY" Colby Godwin talking about his title match against the Sheik in Panama City, FL on July 9th

Is the NWA World Jr. Champion, Craig Classic, a Wanted Man?

Is there a price on the head of Craig Classic?  Is the NWA World Junior Champion becoming a target of Junior Heavyweights around the world?  Craig Classic, since winning the NWA World Jr. Championship has been jet-setting across the globe putting his Jr. Crown on the line.  Coming off a huge victory, Classic has now defeated two former NWA World Jr. Champions.  Classic this past weekend defeated "Mr. 630" Jerrelle Clark at I Believe XXX, Classic defeated.  Classic defeated Tony Kozina earlier this year at a NWA Midwest show.  

However, after the show, was a contract.  A contract to defend the NWA World Jr. Champion against a former World Jr. Champion in a rival organization.  In only a matter of days, Classic will defend his price against 

TJ Mack, the former AWA World Tag Team with brother and friend of the Alliance Kirby Mack.  TJ is also a former AWA World Light Heavyweight Champion.  This match with take place at PWX on June 18th  

When we talked to Craig Classic a few months back for Alliance Radio, Classic made it clear he would answer any challenge.  The past few months, the NWA World Jr. Champion has defeated Lince Dorado (also stole his mask), Nick Impact in and won both the PRWA Puerto Rico Jr. and the IPW/PPW International Jr. Titles in Puerto Rico.  Classic went to New Jersey and defeated Joey Spades and Colby Corino.  It should be noted Classic has a schedule dating out to early 2012.  No doubt about Classic is representing the NWA proudly, but for how much longer?  Tony Kozina has demanded a rematch, Christopher Gray gets a shot at Classic upcoming at the next NWA Florida show, also defenses against Mike Jackson and a return to Japan are not to far away. 

Three NWA World Championship Matches Return to Florida

New NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion: The Sheik

Fulfilling a promise over two years in the making, the Middle Eastern Madman finally got his opportunity.and cashed in his shot to become NWA Worlds Champion.  

Subtle Hustle, Jacksonville Florida, NWA Florida promised the defenses of three world championships.  Craig Classic successfully defended his NWA World Junior Heavyweight Championship against Lince Dorado.  The Dark City Fight Club bested former Ring of Honor Tag Team Champions, the Briscoe Brothers. And the NWA crowned a new Worlds Champion.

Colt Cabana who only became champion a mere six weeks ago quietly took the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship to Germany, Austria, and Canada all along making schedule defenses in Hollywood, Alabama, and Georgia.  

The Sheik has made the NWA his own personal playground, acquiring championships nearly at will.  The Sheik was turned away from his initial shot at the Worlds title from Blue Demon.  Sheik would go on to win the NWA Florida Title, later the NWA Midwest title, and hold the NWA North American Championship to prove his worthiness for the NWA Worlds Title.  In the past few months the Sheik retained his title in matches against Savio Vega, Carlito Colon, and Phil Shatter. But all the turmoil, all the villainy, and all the pain the Sheik has caused around the NWA has finally materialized in into the fashion of the NWA Worlds Championship Title, which now rests with the Sheik.  

The Sheik has been stripped of his North American Championship and his handlers have announced that he will bring his brand of suffering to Japan.  The Sheik delivered on his promise and may God have mercy on the National Wrestling Alliance.

NWA Worlds Championship on the line when Colt Cabana defends against the Sheik

The Sheik finally gets his shot at the Legendary 10lbs. of Gold.  April 23rd Jacksonville Florida, Pro Wrestling Fusion host the NWA Worlds Championship Match up of Colt "Boom-Boom" Cabana and "The Middle Eastern Madman" The Sheik.

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.

NWA Florida sends two of its finest to ZERO1

NWA Florida’s own Craig Classic, the current reigning and defending NWA World’s Junior Heavyweight Champion boarded a plane this morning to wrestle in Japan. Classic will take on Munenori Sawa on March 6, 2011 in Tokyo, JPN at Zero-1’s 10th Anniversary show at Tokyo’s Ryogoku Gokugikan. We wish Craig Classic the best of luck and a safe return home.

Also in Japan for this spectacular show is another NWA FL homegrown talent in Nick Primo. Primo, who is the son of former WCW Cruiserweight Champion - Prince Iaukea,  is training diligently at the Zero-1 dojo. Reports that have come back state that Primo is doing very well and has turned many heads since his training has started. We expect very big things from Nick Primo in the future and also wish him the best of luck and of course a safe return to the states.

NWA Pro Wrestling Fusion presents November Coming Fire

In a Night where Tommy Taylor makes his final NWA Florida Heavyweight Title defense, Taylor announced his retirement shortly after this match was announced, action will stacked from top to bottom.  In the Semi Main Event, NWA World Jr. Champion Mike Quackenbush takes his Jr. Title to Florida to defend against top contender and NWA FL Jr. Champion Craig Classic.  A match that is being billed as a Strong Style Match with Vordell Walker taking on New Japan's Kazuchika Okada.  Also the Dark City Fight Club defend the NWA Florida Tag Team Titles against the Guidos.  But in the Main Event, The North American Champion The Sheik defends his title against the National Champion Phil Shatter in a  "Lights Out" match.  Allow the match will not be sanctioned by the NWA, the winner of this no disqualification match will be the new NWA North American Champion.  All this and so much more, Saturday Nov. 6th at the Ft.

NWA Florida Presents: November Coming Fire

NWA Florida and Pro Wrestling Fusion presents November Coming Fire at the Fort Pierce PAL Center, 1401 2nd. St., Fort Pierce Florida on Saturday November 6th 2010.  Seven exciting matches highlighted by the defense of the NWA World Jr. Heavyweight Championship.  "Lightning" Mike Quackenbush has beaten some of the most amazing professional wrestlers on the planet.  And as a the NWA World Jr. Heavyweight Champion, Quackenbush has defended the Jr. Championship against wrestlers from New Japan Pro Wrestling, the NWA, All Japan, Chikara, AAA, IWRG, IWA Puerto Rico, even defending the title in Pescantina Italy.  Truly a World Warrior.  Perhaps maybe less known in his own home country, Craig Classic has been honing his craft in the outrageous world of Big Japan Pro Wrestling.  Under the tutelage of Daisuke Sekimoto, Classic has trained in the BJPW dojo since 2004.  While not wrestling in Japan, Classic has to earned quite the reputation as a Jr. Heavyweight Champion, defeating the likes of TJ Perkins, former NWA Jr. World Champion "Mr. 630" Jerrelle Clark.  Classic won his Jr. Heavyweight Crown this past January when he defeated former 2 time champion Chris Jones.  Although neither champion has had a title defense in the past 4 months, these two performers have continued to wrestle and should have no ring rust.  This match up alone will be worth the price of admission.

Also joining the Main Event will be will be Shawn Spears taking his first ever shot at the NWA Florida Championship when he challenges Tommy Taylor.  Taylor is the man who defeated the Middle Eastern Madman, the Sheik.  This will be Taylor's first defense.  Another first time match up will be the NWA Florida Tag Team Champions, the Dark City Fight Club taking on the Guidos.  The DCFC have been a very dominant force in Pro Wrestling Fusion, laying waste to anyone courageous (or stupid enough) to step into the ring with them.  They have had one successful defense against Prince Iaukea & Nick Primo.  

All this goes down Nov. 6th at the PAL Center in Fort Peirce.

Joey Eastman answers a challenge issued by Lance Cade.

Triple Crown Champion no more, Tommy Taylor NEW NWA Florida Champion

Pro Wrestling Fusion has been the home promotion for the Sheik, a madman with blood lust, who has created a new breed of pain for his opponents not just in Florida, but all over the US.  The Sheik parlayed his desire to be World Champion into a conquest for gold.  The Sheik one the NWA Florida Championship and would go on to win the NWA Midwest Championship from Silas Young and the North American Championship from El Gran Apolo.  The Sheik has been leveraging himself into the World Title picture with each successful defense of his Triple Crown Title.

Things would take a change for the worse on Saturday Night in Ft. Pierce, Florida.  It wasn't too long ago when a fireball encompassed the face of British born wrestler, Tommy Taylor.  The burns and scars would heal, by the psychological damages wouldn't mend until vindication would come for Tommy Taylor.  When I spoke to Tommy Taylor on Alliance Radio (listen here), Tommy made it clear he would not rest until he caused some pain and suffering to the Champion.  It took 3 Stages of Hell, but Tommy Taylor found a chink in the armor of the Middle Eastern Madman, and took one of his covenanted prizes... the NWA Florida Championship.

Congratulations to Tommy Taylor on his Florida Championship Victory.
