I was rough on the design team from the NWA yesterday (Oct. 19). And even now that I’ve learned it’s based on the promotion’s late 70s United Stated title, I’m still not a big fan of their new National championship belt.
Sorry.
But I still do love what Billy Corgan, Dave Lagana and their team are doing with the brand, and I’m looking forward to their first pay-per-view (PPV) tomorrow from Nashville. So as a make good, here’s a cool way they’re hyping NWA 70, coming your way tomorrow on Fite.TV...

- Willie Mack vs. Jay Bradley vs. Mike Parrow vs. Ricky Starks, Match A for the NWA National championship
- Sam Shaw vs. Colt Cabana, Scorpio Sky vs. Sammy Guevara, Match B for the NWA National championship
- Match A winner vs. Match B winners for the NWA National title (Magnum TA will be on hand to present the new belt)
- Tim Storm vs. Pretty Peter Avalon
- The Kingdom of Josephus accepts Crimson & Jax Dane (w/ Road Warrior Animal)’s open challenge
- Barrett Brown vs. Laredo Kid
All that - plus the voices of Joe Galli, Jim Cornette and for the main event Tony Schiavone - can be yours for $24.99, starting at 7:05PM Eastern on Sun., Oct 21, right here.
