NWA Charlotte: We hardly knew ye!

NWA Charlotte closes doors.

After the weekend from hell, NWA Charlotte calls it quits. Between NWA in fighting between NWA Charlotte and NWA Mid-Atlantic, Charlotte Police and Fire Dept. shutting down their venue, and “El Hijo de Nature Boy” Reid Flair getting busted for a DUI and possession. The doors are shutting for good. Siting the poor economy, owners Jay Joyce and JD Costello have both posted their good-byes.

I know its easy as an arm-chair “booker” wondering how things could be so bad it can’t be saved, it is being reported that it cost $250,000 to secure that building and will cost an additional $200,000 to bring it to code.

NWA Charlotte, 2 new champions a big news!

NWA Charlotte in its short tenure has become one of the most popular wrestling promotions in the NWA. Using talent through out the South East, Charlotte currently showcases wrestlers like, NWA National Champion Phil Shatter, Timber the Lumberjack, Mikal Judas, former WWE developmental talent Ryan O’Rilley and has hosted a series of matches with 2nd Generation wrestlers like Brad Anderson, David Flair and recenly debuting Reid Flair.

This weekend was a big weekend for Reid as he was able to capture the NWA Mid-Atlantic Heritage Championship. In a six man tag where apparently the title was on the line. This would mark the first championship for Reid Flair, it would be the only second generation to make a stir that evening. Ricky Steamboat Jr. was also challenged by Vordell Walker.
