Sometimes it is hard to keep up with which territories have fallen out of the NWA and which are joining up.
The newest appears to be NWA Wrecking Ball Wrestling. It is based in Witchta, KS and appears to be a more Lucha Libre style wrestling that includes a 6 man Tag Team belt showing some dedication to the 6 man division.
NWA Combat Sports is the NWA's reentry into Florida after losing Florida Underground. Purple Haze is the champ, the Gulf Coast Champ, and will be taking on Xtian Blake at the next big show, which is at the end of May.
NWA Throwback is based in Alabama. It is still fairly new to the NWA, but participated in the Parade of Champions with Devin Driscoll being the champ in Throwback. Although he has a title defense against Crimson in a cage on May 6th.
NWA NRW wrestling is based in Arvado Colorado. They just had one of their big shows in Never Broken. In 3 months they will have their next big show (they have regular shows all the time), and it will feature Rob Conway.
I continue to not understand what is going on Smoky Mtn. With Jason Kincaid a heel, and Chase Owens in Japan so much, there was really only one choice to place the belt upon. Vince Bret. He was loved by the fans, and might could have really run with it. Vince is doing great work with NWA Mid West, so perhaps this is why he was not pushed. Instead, he also joined the Agency (a heel faction), and is now the Mountain Empire champ (the third tier belt). I don't really get it. However, they still bring in great talent for the shows including Michael Elgin challenging Jason Kincaid for the Southeastern Title at Collision Course.
By the way Jason Kincaid was unsuccessful in defending his Super 8 title.

Smoky Mountain on the decline and other results
I have been a big fan of Smoky Mountain for some time. They still have two of the top wrestlers in the NWA in Chase Owens and Jason Kincaid. However, those two are finding bigger and better matches outside of Smoky Mountain right now at Parade of Champions and Casino Royale. Smoky Mountain has always had a bit of a follow through problem. Anyone remember Rob Conway teaming up with the Illuminati and Kincaid vowing to go through them all. Well, he did go through Chris Richards, but no further. KAOS fizzled, although probably for reasons beyond SMW's control.
And now this. This past week they had the Smoky Mtn. Cup, which is always a fun time. Kincaid vs. Lio Rush (the newest darling of Indy wrestling) was probably a sight to see. Kincaid won. But, Jordan Kage won the cup after interference from Chris Richards. Now, Chris Richards a year ago was a member of the Illuminati. With no fanfare or explanation, Richards joined Kincaid and fellow giant Travis Lee in a new faction. Lee and Richards then formed the Giants of Gehenna, which won the US Tag Titles. They even were in a 6 team Gauntlet Match for those title at this show. They lost to Air America (another amazingly reunited tag team without enough explanation). Then when Kage needs help against Chase Owens, Chris Richards comes out and joins the Agency, laying out Owens. This is Richard's third team in just over a year. Not good.
Other important events include a title change in NWA Top of Texas. Shane Garrett defeated Ryan Justice for the Heavyweight title in TOT.
Mid South seems to be introducing a new belt, the NWA Southern Junior Heavyweight title. That should be fun to watch. Tournament set for 23rd of April. Greg Anthony, bloodied, but remains National Champion after a last man standing match, and Jeremy Moore remains Unified champ.
NWA NRW in Colorado is having a big show this weekend featuring Nick Aldis and Mickie James.
Rob Kincaid continues his hard luck streak after being pinned by Badd Blood to lose the Heritage title, he has now dropped the NWA US Title at a Bruiser Wrestling event. Circle City is going to have the follow up it appears.

Casino Royale Results
So the Casino Royale show is over. Two days of Vendetta Pro Wrestling hosting some of the best in the business. However for the first time in several years, nothing major happened.
Jax Dane remained World Champion by defeating Tim Storm. Storm's North American Title was not on the line.
Greg Anthony retained the National Title by defeating Jason Kincaid.
Iron Empire defeated the local Ballad Brothers to remain World Tag Team Champs.
Ricky Ruffin retained the Western States Title. Ruffin is a good talent and he probably deserves a bit more praise for his run in Vendetta Pro as the Western States champ.
I guess the biggest news is that Badd Blood continues his dominance. In the exciting 6 man tag match between stars from Blue Collar Wrestling and Circle City Wrestling, Badd Blood pinned Rob Kincaid to become the NWA Heritage Champion. I expect this means you will see Badd Blood in Circle City real soon.
I will just come out and say it. Badd Blood ought to be the #1 contender for the World Title.

Casino Royale Event title matches
Now we are seeing the matches come fast and furious for the CAC Casino Royale two night event. In addition to what was earlier reported now we can see that some major titles are on the line as well.
Greg Anthony will defend the National Title against Jason 'the Gift' Kincaid. This will be an instant classic. These two did fight a year or so ago for then Greg Anthony's Unified Mid South Title with Anthony winning, but Kincaid is always a threat and always innovative with offense.
Iron Empire will defend their World Tag Team Titles against the Ballard Brothers. The Ballard Brothers are a big time tag team in Pro Wrestling Vendetta. Iron Empire should come away with a win, but it will be interesting.
Jax Dane vs. Tim Storm for the NWA World Heavyweight Title. This is amazing that they are doing this match again. Last year this was the big match and it was to unify the Nation and North American Titles. Dane won. I like Tim Storm, and Dane could use a familiar opponent. But maybe a different match would have generated a little more excitement. Currently Storm is the North American champ, and he may still be when this match arrives, but that title is not on the line this year.
I would have loved to see Little Cholo get a shot at the North American Title, but overall this is a good slate of additions to the Casino Royal slate of matches.
