NWA Week in Review for Feb. 7th

Welcome back to the week in review for February 7th., 2009. The big rumor of the week is that AAA’s Sean “Xpac” Waltman has a return date scheduled for the NWA Showcase. Waltman was a regular attraction for the NWA before joining Mexico’s AAA. Waltman’s rivalry with “Scrap Iron” Adam Pearce even earned him the NWA Heritage Championship. Although his run with the title was short-term, Waltman and Pearce had a series of good matches. Since joing AAA, Waltman has formed a stable with 2 other NWA Pro Wrestlers, Alex Koslov and Rocky Romero and are known as D-Mex. Waltman is to join King V and the World Tag Team Championship showdown between the Young Bucks and the Skull Krushers, to be a part of the big NWA Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

NWA Mexico held its first show of February on the 4th. The show was headlined by the rivalry between Blue Demon Jr. and El Dandy, as Worlds Heavyweight Champion Demon teamed up with Hurricane Ramirez to battle Dandy and Scorpio Jr. We’ll post the results when they become available. But what is probably even more exciting is that on Friday the 13th, NWA Mexico will partner with Promociones Wagner, El Todo X El Todo, and Los Perros del Mal in bringing a unique experience for Mexican Wrestling fans. A lucha libre dream match between El Hijo de Santo and NWA Worlds Champion Blue Demon Jr. battling against Hijo del Perro Aguayo and Dr. Wagner Jr.

The newest NWA member in Wisconsin, Brew City Wrestling announced earlier this week that they have come to an agreement with Time Warner Cable. The show will be a half hour and will be played twice a week in West Allis and in Waukesha. The first taping will be filmed on February 20th. BCW joined the NWA Midwest family on January 16th and has become the 3rd promotion in Wisconsin to carry the NWA Banner.

Speaking of new members of the NWA Family, On February 2nd, the commissioner of NWA Southwest, announced its territory will be growing. Total Championship Wrestling joins; World Of Wrestling(Houston), Gulf Coast Wrestling Alliance (Corpus Christi), Professional Wrestling Federation (Amarillo), Paradise Professional Wrestling (South Padre Island), and NWA Oklahoma in making up one of the largest territories in the NWA. TCW plans on running several shows a month in Austin bringing the NWA brand to the capital for the first time in 23 years.

Things are heating up for NWA in Maine. Rick Fuller is helping NWA On-Fire to bring “Chaos and Destruction” all over Main. Fuller a former WCW and NJPW star will be debuting for the shows in on the TV Taping Schedule. Also scheduled is former TNA star Apollo. The Main Event for the February 6th show in Fairfield will feature Mixed Tag-Team match of Naughty Adrianna and Cousin Larry vs. Miss Alisha and Sonny Roselli. On February 7th in Mexico, The Samoan Warriors will defend their NWA TV Tag Titles against The Logan Brothers, Latin Hit Squad and the Playas Club in a 4 Team Tag Championship Challenge. And Lastly the big main event for the Springvale show on February 8th will feature Apollo and Big Rick Fuller taking on NWA Television Champion Danny Inferno and the 7’1″ Giant Pharaoh.

Unfortunately the NWA Showcase experienced technical difficulties with their broadcasting partner Colours TV this week. Colours aired a previous episode of the NWA Showcase from last year. David Marquez has already confirmed that the Showcase will air on NWAWrestling.com.

Things get BIG in Oklahoma

As reported on NWAWrestling.com, the stars of the NWA are return to the Southwest for what is shapping up to be a very big card. BIG being the key word as 6’5″ 500lbs. King V. V who has been a dominate force where ever he works makes his Showcase debut. Also returning is Tulsa’s favorite son, the Worlds Heavyweight Champion “Shooter” Brent Albright, Blue Demon Jr., Sean “XPAC ” Waltman, “The Ironman” Rob Conway. And the World Tag Team Champions, Los Luchas. The 60th Anniversary tour will also feature a match for the vancant NWA Oklahoma State Championship.

NWA Showcase Tour returns to TX

August 23rd will mark the NWA’s return to Beaumont at the Complex and NWA Southwest is reporting that their will be a second show in San Antonio on the 24th at the Freeman Coliseum. A lot of exciting names have already been booked for the event. Former NWA World Champion Adam Pearce, the NWA Tag Champs Los Luchas, Sean “XPAC” Waltman, El Hijo del Rey Misterio, Casandro, NWA North American Champ Mike DiBiase, Rob Conway, Joey Ryan, Rodney Mack, 7x Texas Champion Kevin Northcutt, Chaz Taylor, and introducing The Crazy Chickens of Lucha VaVoom plus more!

I can only guess that the “Shooter” Brent Albright will also be on the card. The flyer also shows Blue Demon Jr. and Sid Vicious, but it also shows card subject to change. This should make for an exciting night of wrestling, back to back. And then one week later the long awaited NWA Mexico debut show in Gimnasio Juan De La Barera, in Mexico City, D.F. This Summer has been picking up for the NWA.
