Mexico City, MX (Sept. 1, 2008)
– The National Wrestling
Alliance® replanted its roots in
the rich Mexican pro wrestling
soil with its first self
promoted event on August 30th in
Mexico City. The card featured
an all-star cast that featured
El Hijo del Santo, Reyo de
Jalisco, Jr., Blue Demon, Jr.,
El Dandy, Fuerza Guerrera, Magno,
Incognito, Solar and Negro
Navarro. Headlining the card was
the much-anticipated rematch for
the NWA™ Worlds Heavyweight
Championship where “Scrap Iron”
Adam Pearce challenged Champion
Brent Albright.
“This event is very historic
for Mexico because it is the
first NWA branded event in my
country. In the 60 years of the
Organization the NWA had to
relay on other promotions to
promote the company, but I am
please to be working with Mr.
Bob Trobich in helping him
spread the NWA name
internationally,” stated NWA
Mexican Promoter, Blue Demon,
Jr.
NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion
Brent Albright said, “This
rematch with Pearce was
fantastic! Beating him in a
different country means so much
to me. Like I said in New York,
I am dedicated to defending the
’10 lbs. of Gold’ worldwide,
just like the greats have before
me.”
“Scrap Iron” Adam Pearce was not
available for comment.
The next NWA Mexico event
scheduled will be held on
September 27, 2008 at Gimnasio
Juan de la Barrera de la Ciudad
de Mexico. Tickets will be on
sale through
www.ticketmaster.com.mx.
