4/29/17 IWRG Negro Navarro vs Zach Sabre Jr. 4* My dream match is Blue Panther vs Jim Breaks. I'm not going get that so I was excited about this. It had an exhibitionary feel. We get a good fel of meshing Lucha with the British flair. I enjoyed all the wrestling. Both guys did well selling the submissions. This match won't be for everyone but worked for me. My favorite moments was Navarro having a swank Lucha submission on , and ZSJ wuld bust out some carny escape.

4/26/17 CWF-Mid Atlantic Trevor Lee vs Chip Day 4 1/2* Lee is in the middle of an all time title range. Just classic after classic. His next guy to match up with Chip Day. These guys have been around each other for a long time. They're pretty fresh off a 6 pack challenge. Another great match by the way. They open up with a feeling out process. They do a little mirror spots, counters of counters, and near misses. This transitions into some gritty mat work with great ring positioning. Day hits some wicked leg checks. Day is doing everything he can to avoid Lee's arm work. They get to a spot where they each get the leg. They each drop the leg. Day is the quickest and nails another kick. This spot could have turned him heel but it didn't. This pisses Lee off, and leads to a caveman slam and some G&P. Finally Lee gets the arm. He starts to work it and just wrecking it. Day sells it big. In a wonderful spot and a call back to Day's early work. Lee is attempting a Breaks special and Day hits another wonderful leg kick. Again Day hits the leg kick while is on the top rope and takes a header bump. Lee hits a lariat and Day with a spin bump. They have a strike exchange where both guys are selling big time. A great nearfall on the spin kick. Lee's STF looked stiff as hell. They did this brilliant one spot. Finally, they have a big time strike exchange. This was epic because it was built to and mattered. Finally we build to the finish. Just an incredible bout. 4 1/2*

From Bruce Tharpe's FB pg. Bruce Tharpe 1 hr · Spring Valley, NV · I am very excited for the future of the NATIONAL WRESTLING ALLIANCE. As everyone knows by now - Billy Corgan and I have agreed on principle regarding his acquisition of the NWA brand. This decision comes after many weeks of negotiation and deep consideration. Although Billy Corgan may be a fresh face to wrestling - he is an extremely successful businessman and has a deep admiration and respect for the NWA. He is also putting together a very strong team. With the capital and business acumen that Billy Corgan brings to the table - I am confident that he has the ability to take the NWA to the next level. And I have promised to do all I can to help him succeed. I ask you to join me in supporting the new NWA regime in the future. I am not leaving wrestling - but after four years at the helm of the NWA - I look forward to stepping back and allowing someone new and passionate to take control of this great and noble organization. Thank you to everyone who has supported the NWA over the years and during my tenure. I also want to publicly thank Billy Corgan for his confidence and respect for this iconic brand. The next few months are going to be really exciting for the National Wrestling Alliance - but most of all for the fans!

Their are members, and it does have a name tied in with a history. The promoters of the NWA do have in roads in the towns they run. Corrigan may have connections to talent that could help increase attendance . Or he may just want to compete against TNA. It may be personal to him.

Exactly. It's owned by Bruce and Valerie Boesch. Bruce was/ is the President of the NWA. I could be wrong, but that's how I read the landscape.

Putski vs Patton Ivan dancing to the Polka was great. I love Tank's get up. Keep an eye for Patton's cast. He swings and misses . headlock spots work. Like Patton using the cast for some small jabs. I loved how Putski uses the cast to his advantage. Big back breaker by Patton, and again. Again the cast is in play working over the back. This is basic but Putski's charm carries it

I have high hopes for this. Chavo is a stud, and Mansfield has been a lot of fun. Chavo has the NJPW jr. belt. Mansfield is chewing up the scenery early on. Big punch and miss by Mansfield. Chavo on the leg. Still working the leg with a fun knee lock. Mansfield flips Chavo, but he lands on his feet. He then goes back to the leg. Chavo's shine has been pretty solid. Chavo with the flying ankle pick , and back to working the leg. Chavo with leg kicks. Then he snaps the leg, and does a toe hold. I like Mansfield selling and trying to protect the leg. Mansfild suckers him in. A back breaker by Mansfield. Eddie tosses Chavo to the floor. Mansfield working him over. Chavo goes into the post. Mansfield works the arm. It gets sloppy down the stretch. Disapointing match;

I loved Billy cranking Dory with a leverage move.Billy with one of his carnie escapes. At the end he snaps Dory's leg. Billy slaps the taste out of Dory and the crowd reacts. Billy working the arm, but takes an elbow and bumps to the outside. Billy is pissed, and Dory takes a powder. A Robinson back breaker gets 2. European forearms rocks Dory. Another back breaker gets 2. Billy focusing on the back, and hooks on a surfboard. Now Billy transitions to put his knee in Dory's back. Loved Robinson trap pin attempt on Dory. Dory hits a forearm shiver. Now Dory is hitting Robinson with stiff looking European forearms. Robinson is reeling. We jump to the final 5 minutes. Dory with more nasty European Forearms. Robinson with a jumping punch. Big neck breaker gets 2. Billy eats another forearm, but counters into an adominal stretch. Robinson back breaker causes Billy's knee to give out. We end up in a draw. Their was a lot to like.At times I could see people saying it was boring. I thought Robinson looked good. Dory at times. The last 5 minutes really helped the match. 3*

Dynamic Duo vs Scott Casey/Tiger Conway Jr. The Duo seem to always deliver. This is an odd camera angle. Tiger unloads on Tully, and the camera angle is back to normal. Both Tully and Gino are bumping and stooging big time. Love Tully selling his attempted headbutt on Tiger.Finally the #'s game catches up to Tiger, and he's FIP. Both members of the Duo are great at working the apron. Hot tag to the Cowboy. Casey standing tall and kicking ass.The dbl team to set up their advantage. They cut him off and work him over. He tags to Tiger, and hits an amazing flying headbutt. 1,2,3 Fall 2 Conway dominating early. Casey in and they mesh as a tag team. Tiger presses the moment. The faces have all the momentum until Tiger misses Tully in the corner and posts himself. This leads to the Duo stealing the fall. Fall 3 Gino working over Tiger's hurt shoulder. Tully in and he punches Tiger right in the shoulder. Gino back in and is stomping the shoulder. The heat is getting hot. Quick tags working over the shoulder. The Duo are maestros working over the shoulder. Hot tag and Casey is bumping the Duo. Again the Duo use the #'s game and cut off the Cowboy. They're focusing on Scott's back. Crowd getting restless. Ref distraction. They toss Casey over the top rope. Ref tries to get Conway out. Gino hits his falling elbow from the top for the win. 4* In ring promo from the Duo. Boesch is disgusted. Tully and Gino are on fire.
