Parade of Champions Results

The Parade of Champions results are in. 

Americos successfully defends his IHWE title.
Houston Carson wins the battle royal to face Greg Anthony for the National Title.  He did this by waiting outside the ring and tossing the last guy over the top. 
Carson jumped Greg Anthony to begin the National Title match, which ended in DQ after many people ran to the ring to fight Anthony as he was in control.  The Empire and Jim Cornette came to make the save.
Chase Owens defeated Jason Kincaid after a roaring elbow and package piledriver. 
Unimportant 6 man tag that does put some talent from around the NWA in the same ring.  Evan Morton, Shane Taylor, and Keith Lee win.  Shawn Shultz got pinned.
Devin Driscoll was pinned after Tim Storm his the Perfect Storm.  Tim Storm retains the NWA North American Title.
Iron Empire defeated Brown and Dirty to retain the NWA World Tag Team Titles.  Matt Rivera got the pin after a chokeslam.  Jim Cornette hit manager Black Bart with the racket during this match.
Rodney Mack was eliminated first and then Lance Hoyt so that Raymond Rowe retains his IHWE Heavyweight title. 
Steve Anthony hit a 450 splash for the win to retain the NWA World Junior Title
Amber O’Neal/Gallows defeated Jessica James.  Veda Scott was the guest ref and Scott and O’Neal/Gallows had a stare down after the match.  Amber O’Neal/Gallows remains Women’s World Champ.
Charles Haas dominated the match, but Jax Dane hit a spear for the pin to remain your NWA World Heavyweight champion.  Shelton Benjamin made a brief appearance, but was not really on Charlie’s side. 

The consensus seems to be a great show overall.  The Empire had a big night and all wrestled as faces.  You had a bit for everyone with cruiser weights, heavy weight brawlers, good female wrestling, some solid wrestling, and a show case of talent match or two along with a nice set of promos by Black Bart, Jim Cornette, Greg Anthony and Charlie Haas. 

Most seem to be saying Owens v Kincaid stole the show.  Kincaid just has so much offense and the two are pretty familiar.  Some might point to Steve Anthony as a show stealer as well. 

The high points of the show definitely turned out to be the depth of the Junior Heavyweight division.  Chase Owens, Jason Kincaid, along with champ Steve Anthony are off the charts good.  Americos was also good and the pool is large enough for them all. 
The Empire is fabulous, and if Rob Conway is added into that, then the group is amazing. 
The Raymond Rowe, Rodney Mack, Lance Hoyt match showed that these three guys could all compete for the NWA World Title. 

The low of the show has to be sadly, Jax Dane.  He just seems a bit too limited to me.  Charlie Haas can do great mat wrestling, and showed command of the mic, but Jax Dane seems only to be able to deliver stiff blows and a spear turns it all right.  I do admit I hate the spear as a finisher, but Dane still comes off as the worst champ my hatred of the spear not withstanding.  Storm can go, Anthony can do anything.  Steve Anthony even has potential in higher weight classes, but Dane just seems like a big power man without a lot of movement or flexibility.  His move set seems low. 

In the end, the NWA had a great show.  You had a lot of old fashion stuff, but had some new style matches as well.  The main event seemed a let down, but I bet Parade of Champions will hold up well to Wrestlemania.
