South Korea – 2009

The National Wrestling Alliance is said to be the largest governing body in profesional wrestling. The NWA’s offices are represented in North America with promotions in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. There is also NWA Representation in Europe with NWA UK, NWA Ireland, and NWA France. The NWA’s reach stretches as far east as New Japan Pro Wrestling and the World Wrestling Alliance, the NWA’s Japanese and Korean memebers.

Although the connection between WWA and their American affiliate, Championship Wrestling from Florida seems a little suspect, it does look like the South Korean based profesional wrestling orginization is still promoting.

One of the last events of 2008 for WWA Korea was the battle between former IWGP Heavyweight Champion, and Kickboxer Bob Sapp. Sapp battled against WWA ace and reigning WWA Heavyweight Champion, Super Dragon. The results aren’t readily available, so if anyone speaks Korean or know where to find the results, I’d greatly appreciate it. The match was contested under MMA Rules.

::: Update :::
The Fans of Sherdog released the results of this match, with Super Dragon retaining his title.

NWA Mexico News

2009 for NWA Mexico starts with a series of shows that will make the NWA Lucha Libre more accessible by working smaller venues and charging less for tickets. This should be a successful move for the Luchadores with the global economic recession.

In other news, NWA Worlds Champion, Blue Demon Jr. is scheduled to tour in Japan with fellow NWA member, New Japan Pro Wrestling. His precenses in Japan will be a part of the celebration of the rich history that New Japan Wrestling has held with Mexican Wrestling.

Lastly the hate El Dandy has for Blue Demon Jr. just might spill over into the United States. It seems that a NWA wrestling promtion in the United States has requested the paperwork to file for a visa for Dandy. And anybody who doesn’t think that El Dandy is a worthy challenger to the NWA Worlds Heavyweight title, remember the infamous words of Bret Hart… “Who are you to doubt El Dandy?”
