NWA Announces Ticket Info For TV Tapings

Back in the spotlight, the National Wrestling Alliance recently announced they would be returning to Atlanta, Georgia for TV tapings. NWA President Billy Corgan is looking to bring the NWA to a true main stage. The first set of tapings will take place on Monday, September 30 and Tuesday, October 1. Ticket information has finally been revealed for the tapings.

According to the NWA’s website, VIP tickets go on sale Tuesday, September 3 at 9 p.m. ET for newsletter subscribers. Links will be provided for both dates at GPB Studios.

Here is the pricing and prize info:

* VIP is $100 per day
* You must enter early to pick your seats
* There will be a choice of a Special Edition poster or an Atlanta Event t-shirt (if you attend both tapings, you have a choice)
* You will receive a special Atlanta event pin
* Post-show Meet and Greet with NWA stars Nick Aldis, Kamille, Eli Drake, Allysin Kay and Billy Corgan

General Admission is $30 per day, with guaranteed admission to the event each day. No meet and greets or special merchandise will be included. Any questions can be emailed to store@nationalwrestlingalliance.com.

In the above video, Corgan discussed the need for the NWA to produce their own programming, especially in today’s wrestling scene.

“It’s one thing to say you’re rebooting the NWA, it’s another thing to run matches on someone else’s stage,” Corgan stated. “We’re very grateful to those people that shared their stage with us, most recently Ring of Honor, which was an incredible opportunity. But now it’s our time to step forward, and it’s time to bring the NWA back into the spotlight, and run on its own oxygen. So, we’re very excited to announce that in October, in Atlanta, we’ll be doing our own television again.”

Next Year’s NJPW G1 Climax Moving To The Fall Due To 2020 Tokyo Olympics

New Japan Pro Wrestling’s G1 Climax tournament typically runs from early/mid July until early/mid August, but next year there will be a temporary change to that schedule.

Due to the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo (July 24-August 9), the G1 Climax will be moving to the fall, according to the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

Since most of the more prominent arenas in the arena will be booked up, NJPW decided it would be best to hold the tournament later in the year so they can still utilize those venues for their biggest tournament of the year.

This year’s winner was Kota Ibushi, defeating Jay White in the finals on August 12 at Nippon Budokan in Tokyo. Ibushi is currently scheduled to face the IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kazuchika Okada at Wrestle Kingdom 14, but will have to defend the rights to that title shot along the way.

Next year’s Wrestle Kingdom will be a two-day event on January 4 and 5 at the Tokyo Dome.

WWE Denies Report On Enzo Amore And Big Cass Talks, Big Cass Responds

WWE has denied that they have had recent talks with Enzo Amore and Big Cass about a return to the WWE NXT brand.

We noted yesterday, that Enzo and Cass had talks about returning to be top stars of NXT. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter originally reported that WWE had been in talks with Enzo and Cass about a possible return to work as top stars for the WWE NXT brand, but there was no word on if they had accepted the offer.

WWE told the media that the story is incorrect. WWE says that there is no basis for the story, and that they have had zero discussions with Enzo and Cass, according to PWInsider.

Big Cass (CaZXL) took to Twitter with what appears to be a simple response to the reports that WWE dismissed on a possible return to the company for he and Enzo Amore (nZo).

Cass took to Twitter after WWE denied the story and wrote, “Idiots [laughing emoji]”

I guess we will just have to wait and see if there is any truth to Enzo and Cass returning to WWE NXT.
