NWA ANARCHY PRESENTS LES THATCHER, NWA EXCELLENCE CAMP
On the weekend of March 20th, - March 22nd, 2009 NWA Anarchy Wrestling
will have the honor of hosting it's first ever NWA Excellence
Camp.This event will be a weekend long training session administered
and taught by 40 year vet, and former NWA World Tag Team & Junior
Heavyweight Champion, as well as major backstage influence, promoter
and famed broadcaster (who's known for his work with NWA Hall of
Famers Gordon Solie & Bob Caudle, the legendary Lance Russell & WWE
Hall Of Famer Jim Ross), the esteemed Les Thatcher. Les is a man who
was fortunate enough to be right on the cusp of NWA territorial
wrestling during it's hottest period. He worked directly under men
like Bill Watts, Eddie Graham and Ole Anderson, who are widely
regarded as some of the greatest minds to have ever been associated
with our sport. He had a direct influence on the development of Ricky
Steamboat's career and has helped train a great number of todays WWE,
TNA and ROH stars as well as appearing as a featured guest on MTV's
"True Life: I want to be a pro wrestler".
Wrestling experience is preferred, but not absolutely required to
attend. If you choose to attend, and have no prior experience, you
will absolutely learn something. Please be advised, however, that this
is intended to be an advanced class for experienced independent
wrestlers, managers, referees, announcers and support staff. This
course is a project, designed by Les Thatcher, Ricky Steamboat &
Harley Race to help indy wrestlers take their game to the next level.
Do you ever wonder why you can't get better bookings? Do you want to
know what the big leagues are looking for? Do you want to understand
why the stars of the 60's, 70's and 80's were so successful? This is
your opportunity to find out first hand, from a highly respected 40
year veteran of our sport in the arena that helped launch the careers
of AJ Styles, Abyss, Consequences Creed, R-Truth Killings, Ray Gordy,
Phil Shatter and more, exactly what it is you may be missing.
The rate is now at full price, which is $100 for the whole weekend
.That still breaks down to only just over $33.00 per day for a
training experience that you can't put a price-tag on. The camp will
take place at the NWA Arena, which is located at
in
within just one mile of the arena, and in partnership with our local
Days Inn, we are offering exclusive discounted room rates.
You can contact the Days Inn of Cornelia at PH: 706-778-7700 for more
details on room rates & availability.
- Day one will kick off at 6:30 PM EST on Friday March 20th with an
open forum Q & A session with Mr. Thatcher and will last until all
questions have been answered. Saturday and Sunday will feature, all
day, in ring, training sessions as well as match critiques from Les.
Also, NWA Anarchy will be hosting it's regularly scheduled television
taping at 8PM on Saturday Match 21st featuring the long awaited return
of Les Thatcher to an NWA announce booth, and all guests of the camp
will be offered free admission to the event with VIP seating, as well
as limited access to the backstage and production areas of the arena.
- ALSO JUST ADDED!!! - NWA Anarchy officials and talent scouts are
currently arranging a competition within the camp, where the top 4
outside prospects will compete for an opportunity to wrestle on NWA
Anarchy TV.
There will only be a limited number of available spots to ensure that
the training is as beneficial for everyone as possible, so act fast.
You may reserve your spot with a small $25 down payment by personal
check or money order payable to NWA Anarchy. Please mail to:

NWA East/ PWX
February 14, 2009
Valentine's Day Massacre 2
Jacob Woll Pavilion
McKeesport, PA
CHAOS ENDS LIVE EVENT AS HANSEN LOSES CONTROL!
To start off the night, NWA East fans were treated to a few live backstage interviews. Once again, Scottie Gash claimed that Team Gash members Shirley Doe, Mantis, and James Ross would not be at ringside for his NWA East Heavyweight Title defense. Also, NWA East's DOA Joe Dombrowski informed Mantis (a/k/a referee Bobby Williams) that he would not be refereeing James Ross' Three Rivers Title defense to start the show.
Also, Krystal Frost was handed a valentine by referee Piston Wiley, claiming it was from a "Secret admirer".
NWA East Three Rivers Champion "Division 1" James Ross def. Chris LeRusso
With Ross' hand-picked referee and teammate Mantis/Bobby Williams barred from the match by DOA Dombrowski, Ross was on his own. LeRusso fought valiantly, and nearly picked up the win with a backslide. But, Ross stole the victory once again, this time with his feet on the ropes in a roll-up. As LeRusso was exiting, he was attacked by Mantis, thrown into the ringpost.
Dash Bennett def. Blue Dragon
In this preview of February 28th's Tag Team Title Tournament Match, first round opponents and longtime rivals Dash Bennett and Blue Dragon met in the ring. Dash was accomanied by his manager Stacy Hunter and tag team partner Bulldozer. Hunter proved to be a valuable asset to Bennett as she slid him a pair of brass knuckles, which he used to pick up the win. After the match, however, Bennett attacked his tag partner Bulldozer and fired him from "Dash Bennett Enterprises". The question remains: who will be Dash Bennett's partner now?
On the big screen, the fans saw Benjamin C. Steele come through the door, supposedly on the phone with somebody for Valentine's Day. He was confronted (and startled) by Joe Dombrowski, who questioned him about the whereabouts of Crusher Hansen's opponent, "First Klass" Brandon K, who was apparently missing. Steel claimed innocence, and Hansen came into view. Dombrowski reminded the crowd of Hansen's many years in the ring, and told him he hand-picked an opponent for Hansen. His opponent would make Hansen seem like a rookie in the ring. Who did Dombrowski choose?
The Franchise Players (Jon Kronica & Robert Beverly) def. L.A. Gunz (Flea & Axel) in the first round of the NWA East Tag Team Title Tournament
L.A. Gunz made their return to NWA East rings after an impressive showing at Burgh Brawl 12 last April. They took on a hot rising team in NWA East, the Franchise Players. Flea & Axel impressed once again, but the beating that the tag team specialists Jon Kronica & Robert Beverly laid into Flea for the majority of the match caught up, along with some questionable tactics involving the referee, and they were able to get a much-needed pinfall victory with the Instant Replay.
Gregory Iron def. Mantis
Mantis was accompanied to the ring by his teammate Shirley Doe. These two men picked up right where they left off on January 17th with a battle for the ages. The underdog Iron was able to pick up the victory, but not without a price. After the match, Doe and Mantis put the boots to him, but Chris Taylor made the save.
Doe called
After intermission, Krystal Frost came to ringside and demanded to know who her secret admirer was. The referee who handed her the valentine, Piston Wiley, came to the ring. Shaking with nerves, he informed her that HE gave her the valentine! She proceeded to kick him low and degrade him for thinking he had a chance with her. She then thank a little too loudly on the microphone about picking up some possible new clients in the future...
The Straight Jacket Mafia (Syko Sean Dahmer & Apollyon) def. A Boy And HIs Dog (Hobo Joe & Moondog Scrap) in about 30 seconds
The Straight Jacket Mafia seem to have their edge back. The same edge that brought them the NWA East Tag Team Championships twice, and led them to being the longest reigning tag team champions in NWA East history. When the new team of A Boy And His Dog hit the ring, and Hobo Joe stripped down to nothing but wrestling tights WAY too small and revealing, the crowd wanted nothing more than to see them destroyed. Hobo Joe went one step too far against SJM as he even smelled Dahmer's armpit! They disposed of Hobo Joe early, and delivered a Facelift to Moondog Scrap, picking up the win easily.
Patrick Hayes & James Ross (subbing for Ashton Amherst) def. Pittsburgh sports anchor Jon Burton & Chris Taylor in the first round of the NWA East Tag Team Title Tournament
Patrick Hayes came to the ring to inform the crowd that his partner, Ashton Amherst, was not in the building that night, but instead, he would be joined by the "greatest Three Rivers Champion of all time" James Ross, instead.
NWA East Heavyweight Champion "The Spotlight" Scottie Gash def. "The Steel City Prodigy" Ryan Mitchell
After his debut on January 17th against Three Rivers Champ James Ross proved successful, the NWA East faithful were solidly behind "The Steel City Prodigy" Ryan Mitchell as he took on Scottie Gash, the most hated wrestler of 2008. Gash was once again not joined at ringside by his Team Gash members Ross, Mantis, and Doe. But, as Ryan Mitchell hit the Steel Curtain DDT, Ross and Mantis hit the ring, laying out Mitchell with a street sign, giving Gash the win. While Gash was grateful for the victory, he did not want to win in that style, and let his teammates know about it for the second show in a row. But then, Krystal Frost came to ringside. She said all Team Gash needed was leadership to guide them. Gash, having a long history with Frost and knowing exactly how she operates, turned her down. Mantis left her with a simple "Ehhhhh no," but Ross... he left with Frost, talking through the curtain.
Lord Zoltan def. Crusher Hansen via count-out
This was a match 13 years in the making after Zoltan turned on the then-masked BoneCrusher back at the PWX Wrestleplex at Eastland Mall! Zoltan and Hansen are both

The Franchise Returns
NWA on Fire is pleased yet weary to be hosting the return match for a star of Epic proportions.
The man known as the Franchise is returning to pro wrestling after a five year absence and he has chosen The NWA to make his return.
The last time Shane Douglas was in the NWA it was in August of 1994, Shane fought 2 Cold Scorpio in the tournament finals to determine the new NWA World Champion, which wrestlers from a number of promotions competed in including ECW.
Shane overcame Scorpio with a belly-to-belly suplex. After the match, the new champion grabbed the mic, and gave credit to all the past NWA champions: Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes, Harley Race, and Kerry Von Erich. Then he invited them all to kiss his ASS. He threw the belt down, proclaiming it meant nothing to him. And then announced the death of the NWA.
He then grabbed the ECW World Title belt and proclaimed it to be an "official" World Title. Well we all know that the NWA took years to recover from this and many in the NWA have not forgotten what he did to the company.
On Friday The 13th of March at Abraham Clark High school in Roselle, NJ Shane Douglas will be facing former ECW colleague and 2 time WWE and 2 time ECW cruiser weight champion Little Guido.
More info will be made available later this week but for now
Tickets are $15.00 for ringside
$12.00 general admission
for ticket info please call 201-370-7891
