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.
