The NWA has seen some interesting developments lately.
NWA Mid South put on a huge show outside of their territory as they are occassionally want to do, and it included Matt Rivera winning the Unified Title and Mustang Mike winning the NWA National Title. Golden Boy Greg Anthony won the title back in a rematch at the regularly scheduled Mid South match and is now a two time NWA National Champ.
Over in NWA Elite, Battleborn John Saxon defeated NWA World Junior Heavyweight champ Steve Anthony. Saxon was a brief National champ, and now adds a world title to his collection. Anthony, a two time champ, now moves on to something else. Saxon had a really good promo against Jushin Liger a few years ago when Anthony eventually emerged as the #1 contender and won his first title. Liger is going to be coming to the states as he was recently announced for Battle For Las Angeles. Maybe . . . .
I still hold that Badd Blood is a top contender. He defended his title in a three way match that involved three falls. He pinned none other than Jason the Gift Kincaid to retain his championship. Kincaid, the longest reigning champ (although the title he was defending that night was not the SMW title, but another held by Kincaid) is in Mexico in a tag tourney this week and has appeared on Ring of Honor TV now too.
July 15 is a huge Tag title defense with the Iron Empire going up against Seth Allen and Dane Griffen, who just beat former ROH champs, War Machine. I would not be surprised to see a title change at this event at NWA Midwest.
It would be nice to see a little more from Amber O'Neal and the Women's Title. Santana Garrett is still all over the place touring the world (including Tag teaming with O'Neal in one promotion). Garrett is headlining a women's wrestling event against Barbi Hayden soon too. O'Neal is a big name, but Garrett is the hotter wrestler right now. I would love to see her gain the title again.
Lots of promotion are having big shows in July and August. Go check out the local wrestling in your area!

Big events wrapping up for the NWA
There were some real big events in the NWA this past week or so.
Perhaps none were bigger than NWA Branded Outlaw Wrestling Extreme Anniversary 3. However, with Hayden and Conway dropping their titles, it was probably not as big as it was supposed to be. Hayden in fact lost her match. Jax Dane did pick up the National Title, so his match with Luke Gallows was for the National Title, and Dane wins. Carson and Lance Hoyt are obviously going to have another go soon, and Andy Dalton defeated Raymond Rowe in what some called the match of the night.
Inspire Pro had a big event on the 15th that saw ACH become the #1 contender to their title. It has to be said that Inspire Pro may have the best collection of female wrestlers in the world, not just the NWA. Barbi Hayden won here as did Vanessa The Mountain Kraven, Athena the Wrestling Goddess, and Delilah Doom. Count em up that is four matches on this card featuring women wrestlers. I do hope a Women's World Title match is held at Inspire Pro real soon.
NWA Rage also fought on the 22nd, and William Huckaby retained the top title by DQ. Interestingly Joe Black pined Beau Crockett.
NWA Top of Texas and Texoma both had events. Texoma had a North American title defense by Tim Storm, but I can't find the results as three other belts were on the line and Teddy Hart was in action. Top of Texas is also not available.
NWA Elite had a show too. Vordel Walker retained his title. John Saxon won and issued a challenge to Junior Heavyweight champ Jushin Thunder Liger. New tag team chaps were crown in an interesting twist. Xtian Blake and Andy Dalton are the new champs even though Andy Dalton left the ringside so Xtian could get a beat down. One roll up later, and the two are the champs.
Watch John Saxon give a pretty good challenge to NWA President Bruce Thawrp. I want to see Saxon vs. Liger.
