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.

Cauliflower Alley Show shaping up
While tonight is the Parade of Champions, the next big even
is the Cauliflower Alley Club show in Las Vegas. Usually it has major titles up for grabs, but
perhaps not this year thanks to the Parade of Champions show.
So far the NWA is sponsoring:
-
Kobra Kai and Marty Jannety vs. Sinn Bodhi and
Markus Burke. – This match is a bring in
a name match and is going to be okay.
-
The Ten Man Rumble – This is an always popular
event that showcases some talent especially for Pro Wrestling Vendetta. It is the main event of night 1 this year.
-
The Second Chance Battle Royal – this is what it
sounds like, a second chance for those eliminated, and some others to get
chance to win the shot. Obviously it
will take place on night 2.
-
Blue Collar Wrestling vs. Circle City Wrestling
for titles – this is a 6 man tag event where each contestant has a belt and
that belt is up for grabs. Belts include
NWA Pacific Northwest Title, NWA MidAmerican Title, NWA Continental Title (mainly
defended in NWA Mid Atlantic), Blue Collar Heavyweight Title, NWA Circle City
TV title, NWA Blue Collar TV Title, and NWA Circle City Heritage Title. . This
will also show case Badd Blood, current Continental champ, and the man who
vacated the Pacific Northwest title. He
is going to be great. Good to see him on
such a big stage.
-
6 Man Tag Midnight Delight vs. The Von Dooms and
Bobby Sharpe – This is a Vendetta Pro match that showcases some of their
talent. Midnight Delight and Von Dooms
are good tag teams and Bobby Sharpe is a young up and comer. Not high enough to be headlining big events,
but deserving to make the cut here.
There are other promotions putting on matches as well and
former NWA affiliate Smash Mouth is putting the Bull of the Woods title up for
grabs between Starks and Gueverra. It
should be a good match between two young guys.
And another that has some NWA hang over in it is Gold Rush putting up
the Lady Luck Championship between current champ Thunder Rosa and former NWA
Women’s champ, Santana Garrett. It is
nice to have her around the NWA still.
She made a quick appearance on NXT and WWE might be trying to sign
her. She has a lot of overseas commitments
this year in Japan and India, so it will interesting to see what happens to her
after the summer when most of that is fulfilled.

NWA this week
We are into February and the NWA rolls on toward its Parade of Champions.
NWA Texoma has a good show lined up this Friday night with NWA Women's champion Amber O'Neal defending against Nikki Knight. Also NWA North American Champ Tim Storm is taking on Foxx, who was in the tournament late last year, so he has to be considered a top contender for the North American Title.
NWA Top of Texas took an interesting turn as the feud between the Logans and the Dirt Road Dynasty just got uglier. Rex Logan defeated Jake Logan for the Panhandle championship, and all seemed well between the brothers. Jake even returned to aid Rex when Rex was jumped by the Dirt Road Dynasty. But he turned on Rex and dropped him onto chairs, smacked him with chairs and generally beat Rex into submission. Where they go from here Saturday night should be interesting.
NWA Circle City Wrestling had their monthly event last week and it saw NWA Continental Champ Badd Blood win a three way match that included NWA Pacific Northwest Champ Buddy Highway. Badd Blood vacated the NWA Pacific Northwest title after having held it for over a year. Buddy Highway had also just been at NWA Supreme to face NWA Mid American champ, Johnny Justice. NWA Blue Collar continues to have a nation wide impact. By the way Abyss and Road Warrior Animal were at that show and will tag team in April.
NWA also has a new partner in NWA Northeast. They kick off March 26th and will crown the NWA Northeast Champion at that time in a match between Grey Wolf and Oxx Hogg.
Another rather new NWA partner, NWA Southeast has their monthly event on the 27th where NWA Southeast champ Tony Storm will defend against Effy Gibbs managed by Missy Hyatt. There is a name from the past you don't hear much about.
It appears Tommy Too Much retained on the 13th of this month in a three way match that included Tyson Dean. Now he will defend on the 27th against the other person in that match, Victor Romanoff. The main event however will be the crowning of NWA Georgia Tag Team champs as Iceberg and Bill T. Butcher go against the Faces of Death. I expect the Faces of Death to walk away with the titles.
NWA Smoky Mountain is having a vote to see who gets the next shot at NWA Southeastern Title held by Jason Kincaid. Kincaid survived by DQ over Vince Brett at this months show. Go on over and vote. I voted for Chase Owens for the record.
February 26th will be Vendetta Pro Wrestling's Februtality (the best name for the month), and it has a big time main event. Little Cholo, who held the title for over 400 days until his injury put the title reign on hold, faces the Interim champ SoCal Crazy. This will settle who is the champ. Either Cholo picks up where he left off or the reign is ended. Interesting to see how this one turns out.
NWA Mid South does not want to be outdone. This Saturday they have a Supercard that includes a title defense for the NWA World Tag Team Champs the Iron Empire. It has NWA National Champ, Greg Anthony in a triple threat match that includes the man he defeated to win the title, John Saxon, and WWE former star Rodney Mack. Also Tim Storm has issued an open challenge for the NWA North American Title. Should be a great show. As always.

NWA Results and what to watch for
I found out about the results for Chris Target's match at NWA Texoma. Target lost to NWA North American champ, Tim Storm. Obviously then the Australian title was not on the line. Good to see Target get a shot at a larger belt.
NWA National champ is out on the road, which is good to see. He has a match with Badd Blood at NWA Circle City wrestling in November, which is good to see Arrick Andrews go to new territories. I think he may have been scheduled for NWA Appalachia, but I think the show was canceled. He also got a victory over Rob Conway at NWA SAW, which is a big win for Andrews.
At that same SAW event Jax Dane defeated Greg Anthony to retain the World Title. Now, I make no bones about it, I want Greg Anthony as the World Champ. But, it is good to see Dane vs. smaller guys. I worry about the always fight the large power guy. See his match vs. Shane Taylor and upcoming match this Saturday vs. the Giant of Smoky Mtn. Wrestling. Greg Anthony can go, and I hope they upload that match to You Tube. It should be noted that Greg Anthony had already successfully defended his Southern Championship earlier in the show.
Top of Texas does not appear to have an event this weekend, but next weekend is huge as Ryan Justice has a Fatal Four Way title defense.
NWA Supreme has a benefit show. It appears champ Texas Outlaw will be there.
NWA Circle City Wrestling has an event this Sunday that will feature Too Cool. Yes, that Too Cool. Rob Conway will be there and Rhyno goes against Dru Skillz.
NWA Wrestling Revolution features Brian Kendrick returning to take on South Texas Champ, Eric Shadows.
NWA Smoky Mtn. has a show as well where the aforementioned World Title Jax Dane will take on Giant Arwen, or whatever his new name is. Jason Kincaid defends his Southeastern Title against Nick Hammonds who is the Mountain Empire champ. If Kincaid wins, it will be a 4 year title reign. Kid Kash also takes on EZ Money for those who care about wrestlers who used to be TV.
Some things to watch this week.
