New Talent to debut for NWA Pro Australia, but not new to the NWA.
At NWA Pro Wrestling Australia a new #1 contender to the NWA Australian National Championship, currently around the waste of Hartley Jackson, will be named through an 8 Man Tournament. Wrestlers from across Australia will get an opportunity to be named the top contender to the gold. But two of the names will be very familiar to NWA Wrestling fans in the United States, New Jersey to be more precise.
Competing in New Jersey working with Ring of Honor, Chikara, and Combat Zone Wrestling, Australian Natives, Ryan Eagles and Jack Bonza were perfecting their craft in the United States. Both had been actively competing in Australia's PWA, but where looking for additional opportunities in the States. NWA DAWG Representative Jaden said "I think its great that these guys came over here looking to expand their horizons." Jaden would continue to say "Ryan Eagles and Jack Bonza were both very talented." They both competed on the same team during an 8 man tag team match for NWA Vintage, prior to its closing and were both expected to participate in an upcoming NWA DAWG show.
While in New Jersey Ryan Eagles had impressed many in the NWA New Jersey area. Eagles was originally scheduled to take on Damien Wayne on May 21st for the NWA DAWG Championship but wasn't cleared to wrestle and was replaced.
Jack Bonza is a name that should be with NWA Fans in Arizona and California. Bonza was a regular tag team partner with Shane Haste in Arizona and even appeared on the NWA Showcase back in 2008.
Both men have the opportunity of a LIFE TIME June 25th at Ground Zero.

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 Hall of Fame 2009 Updates
July 16, 2009 (Charlotte, NC) – Over the years, the National Wrestling Alliance® has inducted many of pro wrestling’s greatest personalities into it’s Hall of Fame and the selection for the 2009 class started last year in Atlanta, GA when “Mr. Wonderful” Paul Orndorff was announced as this year’s first inductee. Currently, the NWA™ Board of Directors is finalizing the rest of the honorees to be announced later this summer.
NWA Executive Director, Robert K. Trobich stated:
“Although we are rounding out the rest of the 2009 Class of the NWA Hall of Fame, I am pleased to announce that the late Dennis Coralluzzo is second person we are going to honor this year. Dennis was one-of-a-kind. To describe him as colorful just doesn't do him justice. But he was also an excellent promoter, who put together great matches and had an eye for young talent. Most importantly, however, Dennis was an almost indispensable ally in keeping the NWA alive in the 90s. One of my fondest memories was journeying to Atlanta with Dennis to convince WCW that the failure to admit Dennis to the NWA (which they did not want) would result in decades of legal action and fees. Dennis and I were, of course, bluffing, but it worked. Once in, Dennis was instrumental in bringing in new members and raising the NWA profile. From appearing on WWF television, to accompanying Dan "The Beast" Severn to the ring in an early UFC bout, proudly holding the NWA Worlds Championship aloft, Dennis was NWA to the end and has a rightful place in the NWA Hall of Fame.”
The NWA Hall of Fame induction of Dennis will take place at the Dennis Coralluzzo Invitational on Sept. 26th at the Wayne (NJ) PAL promoted by Rick Otazu. Tickets for the event are on sale now by emailing a ticket request to mrjcw@optonline.net. For more information on the card please visit www.nwanj.com or www.nwawrestling.com.
