News of National Wrestling Association/Alliance

For probably the third or fourth time in the last month, I'm already working on an article for PWInsider when something newsworthy happens that's directly related to the subject I'm writing about. This time, I'm midway through writing an article about controversies surrounding NWA World Title changes when Adam Pearce vacates the title following the end of his best of seven series with Colt Cabana. A week later, Kahagas is crowned the new champion in ...

After the last match of the "7 Levels of Hate":

The lawsuit filed against the National Wrestling Alliance this past January has been settled, paving the way for changes in the organization.

The ownership and management of the NWA brand will be transferred from the Pro Wrestling Organization LLC managed by Bob Trobich (who pretty much saved the promotion from going into destruction back in 1989 when the last true member of meaning, Jim Crockett Promotions was bought out by TBS, creating World Championship Wrestling) ...

Found out that John Swenski defeated Bob Kenaston on 39/03/27 in Tulsa, OK for the NWA (Association) World Junior Heavyweight Title.

The 39/04/02 issue of The Oklahoman says that Swenski defeated Kenaston "in Tulsa last Monday."
