The Expanding NWA

The NWA announces two new promotions joining the fold. 

Iconic Heroes of Wrestling Excellence is a Fort Worth, TX based company.  This puts the NWA back in the Dallas metroplex area and back into the old World Class Championship Wrestling territory.  IHWE is not bringing a lot of new talent with them.  NWA has a lot of Texas territories, and so it is not surprising to see Andy Dalton, Charlie Haas, and others already participating in IHWE.  They have monthly shows and the one on October 31 looks to be big.  I mentioned earlier that Tim Storm has an appearance, and now it will be for the NWA North American Title.  It seems as if Jax Dane will also appear to defend the World Title. 

The other territory is Southeastern Wrestling Alliance that wrestles in Southern Georgia.  This promotion appears to be smaller, but does give NWA Atlanta some close-by help.  I would expect the NWA Georgia champ to make some appearances down in the new NWA Southeastern Wrestling.  This roster does appear to be almost completely new.  The champ is Effy Gibbs, and we will see how this promotion does and if it can benefit from sharing talent with other NWA promotions.  Also we will see if The NWA Southeastern Title currently defended in Smoky Mtn. Wrestling gets another rename.

Either way this is good news for the NWA who lost NWA Houston at the end of last year and NWA 360 a few months ago.  They have aggressively grown, and these are good steps.
