Everyone should watch the latest NWA Smoky Mountain tv with the Kid Kash and Chase Owens match where Kash puts his career up against Ricky Morton's. Really good stuff from beginning to end on the t.v. Probably the most underrated promotion in the U.S. if you are looking at production values, how they draw, ability to create their own stars, et.

Good commentary too, lol

Did they post it online?

It's up on their YouTube channel. The audio is a little wonky.

 

I think I need to seek out more Jason Kincaid. I really dug him in Traditional (TCW) a couple of years ago, but I haven't seen a whole lot of his recent stuff.

[DKM]

Kincaid has been champion for 4 years in Smoky Mountain so there's plenty of them there.

[Wahoos Leg]

Kincaid had a really good year in NWA Smoky Mountain. I can put together links to some of his better matches as a Youtube playlist if people are interested.

DKM,

 

Where does the new NWA Northeast run out of? If they're in WPA I'll proudly support em. All we got here is the IWC (International Wrestling Cartel) and it's aight.

Like the new belts for the most part, but not a huge fan of the Jr title being a copy of the main belt. Reminds me of the 8 million NWA belts floating around Mexico that were for different weight classes but all looked the same.

I'm gonna be in the front row at the Longmont show.

Cool, post a report.

The National Wrestling Alliance will be running an event titled The Parade of Champions on Thursday March 31 in Fort Worth, Texas (a short drive from Dallas) at the Ridglea Theater. The title of the event is obviously a throwback to the old World Class Championship Wrestling Parade of Champions events at the old Texas Stadium.

 

Announced as appearing at the event thus far are Jim Cornette (who will be master of ceremonies), NWA champion Jax Dane,IHWE Champion Charlie Haas, ROH Tag Team champion Raymond Rowe, World Class Championship Wrestlings legendary announcer Marc Lowrance, former WWF personality Mike McGuirk, NWA Tag Team champions Matt Riviera & Rob Conway Jason Kincaid, Chase Owens and more.

 

NWA member David Farmer, who promotes the IHWE promotion in the Dallas market, will be handling the local promotion for the event.

 

Tickets for the show will go on sale next month.

Congratulations to John Saxon on winning the National Title

One of the things I love about these posters (and the rise of Southern indy talk in the past year) is realizing how many more wrestlers there are out there. It might not be territory days deep, but if you only watch the name/northeastern indy's + PWG, you get a sense of the same guys being everywhere .

It's such a big area there is a lot of "local" talent that can get overlooked.

Wrestling is the only one I know of that an organization doesn't use the same belt. Look at MMA and Boxing: WBC world belts are the same. UFC all belts are the same. Having similar belts helps branding.

NWA Combat Pro Results, Jan 16th 2016
The show opened with Commissioners Travis Edgeworth & Aeon Flexx introducing the new title belts to replace the current titles in place from prior to Combat Sport joining as an NWA affiliate. The current Combat Sport Champion, Ryan Oshun, came out and was presented with the NWA Gulf Coast Heavyweight Championship, to replace the now retired Combat Sport Championship. Oshun discussed the history of the title belt and what it meant to be affiliated and aligned with so many former great champions, and then called out his opponent for the main event that night, Lucha Locura. Locura came out and the two got into a scuffle right before Oshun got out of the ring with his championship. The main event that night was then announced as Oshun defending his NWA Gulf Coast Heavyweight Championship against Locura in a "Anything Goes" match.

Jodan vs. Darius Cain
The first match of the evening was a singles match between Jodan & Darius Cain. Back and forth match but in the end, with assistance from his tag team partner Rob Love (who was ringside for the match), Jodan was able to score a victory via pinfall.

The Dirty Blondes (Michael Patrick & Leo Brian) vs Alex Del Guercio & Airman Banks
In what was Del Guercio's wrestling debut, himself and Airman Banks started off strong against The Dirty Blondes. However, the inexperience of Del Guercio came through when The Dirty Blondes were able to overcome and really put punishment on the newcomer, while Airman Banks could do nothing but stand on the apron and watch. Finally, Del Guercio was able to make a tag to Banks, who came in hot, but was eventually overcome by the Blondes, who were able to hit a devastating spike pile driver on Banks followed by Leo Brian covering Banks for the pinfall.

Ox Haney vs. Xtian Blake
Two men with a bit of a history from NWA Elite Championship Wrestling in Houma, LA squared off in the third match of the evening. Ox Haney was extremely aggressive throughout the match seeming to get the better of Blake for the duration of the match. However, in the end, Blake was able to come back and score a big pinfall victory after a knee strike to the head of Ox Haney.
After the match, Leo Brian w/ Michael Patrick came out and attacked Xtian Blake. Without explanation, after the attack, Patrick and Brian left Xtian laying in the ring while they retreated back to the locker room area.

Cameron Thomas vs. Rob Love vs. Saiko Gato
This match was to crown a #1 contender to compete for the NWA Gulf Coast Junior Heavyweight Championship and was an elimination style match. The match was evenly split until Rob Love's tag partner Jodan (ringside), tried to interfere. Referee Curt Diamond ejected Jodan and their manager from the ringside area. While Love argued with Curt Diamond about the ejection, Saiko Gato was able to spin Love and hit him with a shot of mist from his mouth, leading to a pinfall eliminating Rob Love. When it was just Cameron Thomas and Gato left, Thomas was able to overcome and pin Gato for the win.

Purple Haze vs. John Saxon (NWA National Heavyweight Champion)
Purple Haze came out first and complained about the match for that evening. He was upset that it was set up as a non-title match and felt he was entitled to a shot at the NWA National Heavyweight Championship because of his current tenure as one half of the NWA Elite Tag Team Champions. John Saxon came out and had no problem putting his National Championship up for grabs, telling Purple Haze he was going to shut his entitled mouth once and for all. Haze attempted to set a chair up in the corner to toss Saxon in, however, Saxon was able to counter and Haze's plan backfired as he himself was sent head first into the chair, allowing John Saxon to roll him back into a pinfall for the victory to retain his NWA National Heavyweight Championship.

Lucha Locura vs. Ryan Oshun (NWA Gulf Coast Heavyweight Champion)
Oshun and Locura battled all throughout the venue while a rowdy crowd cheered on. Throughout multiple chair shots, trash can blows, and heavy striking, neither man was staying down to get pinned. After nearly 20 min. of action, Lucha Locura was able to hit not one, but two superkicks in a row on Oshun, who went down hard from the blows. Locura then hit a frog splash off the top rope, which was followed by a pin on Oshun declaring Lucha Locura the new NWA Gulf Coast Heavyweight Champion.
After the match, The Dirty Blondes came back out ringside and surrounded Locura in the ring with Oshun. As the three men looked at the newly crowned Champion, Oshun bailed down as Brian and Patrick came in and attacked Locura. With Locura down, Patrick took his belt and held it over a fallen Locura, before placing it back over him and walking to the back, ending the show.
