NWA Update, by David Marquez.

So, things around the Big Vision/NWA production office seem to be getting back on track. Over the last few months there's been several situations that didn't allow us the time to produce the amount of video I wish we could. Well, not things are bit back to normal and we'll be getting back to the grind and hopefully we'll stay on task. Also, we should have new news on TV distribution (additional to Colours) for the Showcase that should allow more viewers to have better access.

Another bit of news is the NWA Board has asked us to highlight more NWA area talent and we agreed that we need to do that, so over this Summer we'll be sending our cameras out to events all over the country or show footage from other NWA area TV programming, so you all get the real "flavor" of the National Wrestling Alliance.

"The Best of Blue Demon, Jr." had done really well since its release last week. At the moment its only avail exclusively at Hastings Stores and the Big Vision website (www.bvdvd.com). We only ran enough to meet Hastings order, so I guess this is a limited release, so I'd get your copy now. With the success of the title, we're working on others including what was the original "Reclaiming the Glory" set. A lot has happened in the last few years and we felt that waiting would allow for a better release; I think we made the right decision.

Anyhow, we're all here at the office on a Saturday turning out video. At the moment, I'm editing the Phillips Arena event from last Summer. I have to seen the footage since we shot it, I'm so happy with what we produced that day.

I won't bore you all with anything else, gotta go back under the lights and shoot some segments that should be online this week. The episodes that are missing should be up by mid week too.

As always thanks for you passion for the NWA and loyalty.

NWA Charlotte presents "Total Compliance"

NWA Charlotte

Is the best show title I've seen in a long time NWA Charlotte is seemingly compliant. And is set to debut even more fresh faces for the Charlotte based promotion. Talent from Fusion Pro Wrestling will be cashing in their partnership with the NWA when The Sheik, Christopher Gray, and Tommy Taylor debut in the Coliseum. The boys at Charlotte are proclaiming this show to be a two day event, in a one night show. The card is said to be featuring TNA and ROH stars. Surprisingly enough, no Reid Flair.

A New NWA North American Heavyweight Champion

The son of the Million Dollar man had held the North American Championship for well over a year. Mike DiBiase had defeated Damien Wayne to capture the championship in North Carolina. And with defenses in California, Texas, Georgia, and Colorado, it was surprising to hear that Mike DiBiase was defeated by El Gran Apolo this weekend in Tyler Texas. I'm not sure where that puts DiBiase as in his pursuit of the Worlds Heavyweight Championship, but certainly that means Aolo's stock is rising. A famous heavyweight champion in his home Puerto Rico, Apolo has held the NWA World Tag Team titles with D'Lo Brow. Apolo also is currently the reigning NWA On Fire Heavyweight Champion, beating former champ, Danny Inferno.
