Press Release:

NWA Southwest (NWA-SW) will deliver its biggest card, talent-wise, since NWA-SW hosted NWA’s 54th Anniversary Show back in October 2002, when it celebrates its 11th Anniversary on March 21, in Livingston, Texas. Commissioner Ken Taylor announced February 10 that the 11th Anniversary will be the most heavily promoted event ever and the entire wrestling world will be aware that a major NWA show is happening in Texas.

The Anniversary Show will also be a Fundraiser benefitting the Alabama-Coushatta Indian Tribe Recreation Department, and will take place right on the Reservation at the Multi-Purpose Center, which can seat up to 2000. The Alabama-Coushatta tribe is the oldest and one of only three Indian Tribes in Texas and is located just east of Livingston, Texas – an hour drive north of Houston.

NWA-SW was launched on February 27, 1998, in Dallas, and has promoted over 400 shows all over the States of Texas and Oklahoma since, and has restored the “Territory” again this past year after a 23 year absence.

This Show will have four NWA title matches and will mark the first time in history that NWA Southwest has presented all three Texas State Titles on the same card, and also the first time where every NWA State Champion (Tedxas and Oklahoma) of NWA-SW is on the same card.

THE SKINNY…….(not in actual order)

NORTH AMERICAN HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH – First NWA North American Heavyweight title match in Texas since 2002. The match will be in the rich tradition of NWA – a 2 out of 3 Falls, 60 minute time-limit -famous practice of yesteryears. Champion Mike Dibiase -of the famous three-generation DiBiase family including brother Ted, Jr, now starring with WWE, versus challenger Kevin Northcutt – former TNA star and 8x Texas Heavyweight Champion. Kevin is the most belted wrestler in NWA-SW since the turn of the century and arguably the most gold anywhere in the NWA to arrive at this opportunity. He has won every other major belt NWA has to offer except North American and World Men’s. His achievements include 8x Texas champion, 2x National champion, 2x World Tag Team champion, and North American Tag Team champion. Kevin also was with WCW before its demise before TNA. Mike is also a former NWA Texas champion, and is currently ranked the #3 contender by NWA to the World title held by Blue Demon, Jr., and he has third longest reign ever as North American champ. This match would be Main Event quality anywhere in the country this year. Could be NWA’s Match of the Year!

COWBOYS & INDIANS – (I Fall, 30 minute time limit) Former WWE star and now major NWA TV and Touring Superstar – Lance Cade – who won 3 WWE World tag Team titles in recent years with partner Trevor Murdoch, makes his NWA-SW debut against current NWA Wisconsin star – Tejas – the genuine article who actually lives on a reservation in Wisconsin now, and one of the most successful Native American wrestlers today winning a lot of NWA Gold since 2000. He is the only wrestler in NWA-SW history to ever hold these three belts – Texas Heavyweight, Texas Tag Team (2x), and North American Team with Tim Warcloud in 2005. He has also held the NWA Wisconsin Tag Team and NWA Mid-South Tag Team title out of Tennessee. Tejas was also booked several times on RAW appearing on TV once. Cade made his mark with WWE and now making new waves with NWA, and wants to seriously compete for the Texas Heavyweight title and said beating a former champ is the first step in that direction.

TEXAS JUNIOR TITLE MATCH – ( I Fall, 30 minute time limit) 2x Champion Galan Ramirez, and also 2-time Texas Tag champion) versus 2x former champion and challenger Cody Jones. Jones is a second generation wrestler – the son of legend Tom Jones. Bar none, these two two are recognized throughout the entire Southwest among Top 10 Juniors. They are both 2x champions as Ramirez pinned Jones in January so this is Jones’ time-honored rematch. Both of these juniors have bright futures that could lead to a NWA Junior World title. The winner of this match will move a step closer

TEXAS TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH – (I Fall, 30 minute time limit). Champion is HIGH SOCIETY ( Prince Al Farat & Thomas Trump). They’re the first ever dual Tag champions as also hold the NWA Oklahoma tag team belts as well. These cagey, wiley veterans will defend against former Texas Tag champs and challengers TEAM TEXAS -consisting of former WWE developmental star Mr. Destiny and another second generation wrestler, Chaz Taylor, son of legend Tugboat Taylor, and also a 3x Texas Heavyweight champion.

WILD CARD MATCH – (I Fall, 30 minute time limit). Ky-ote – #1 hottest junior wrestler in the State of Oklahoma and #3 NWA-SW contender overall, is a Native American, and believed by many to be a future NWA World Junior champion. He faces one of the most entertaining and controversial wrestlers in Texas – Gabe The Babe. Both see this match as stepping stones to NWA Texas titles this year so should be a “barnburner” with each trying to take out the other on this big stage.. Gabe is recognized throughout Texas as a talent with a great entertainment gimmick that equally compliments mat skills. Could be scientific style thriller – this one.

TEXAS HEAVYWEIGHT MATCH – (I Fall, 30 minute time limit). FIRST EVER SHOWDOWN OF STATE HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONS – TEXAS vs. OK. Texas Champion Michael Faith, who is making a name for himself as in Japan and called “The Largeador” for his surprising mobility and agility for a big man defends his strap against NWA Oklahoma champion Spoiler 2000, who wrestles in the same style as the original Spoiler. Lots at stake here…..if Faith defends, he positions himself as a serious contender for either a National or North American title shot by defeating another NWA State Champion. For Spoiler 2000, a win, he becomes the first masked NWA wrestler to be TX champ since 1986, first dual State Champion ever, and also becomes a serious contender for National or North American title shot. Both have a lot to gain with a win on this big platform.

Doors open at 6 p.m. and Show starts at 7. Tickets will be $10 at the door and advance tickets, which will go on sale in a few weeks, will be only $7.00.
