NEW NWA ANNIVERSARY VENUE FOUND TAMPA - With local promoters on the verge of canceling the NWA's "Battle of the Belts" 53rd Anniversary show on Wednesday due to no suitable facility being available, an unlikely ally stepped forward to offer assistance; NWA Florida's biggest adversary, IPW-Hardcore Wrestling. Thanks to the assistance of IPW owners Ron Niemi, Devin Nash and IPW commissioner Eddie Edwards, the Florida WrestlePlex, will host the NWA event in an emergency capacity. "We're doing it for the fans," said Niemi when asked why he would step forward to assist his cross-bay rival. "There's a lot of great talent coming in from all over the world to work on that show, not to mention the big cage match that will end the IPW-NWA Florida feud once and for all, and I'll be damned if the fans were going to be cheated out of seeing that." "I'm flabbergasted," said NWA president Howard Brody of the offer. "I never expected them to step forward like this, especially after everything we've been through. But I suppose even they were effected by the events of September 11th. I'm just glad the show will go on." When NWA Florida was notified by state officials that the event was officially being canceled at the Fort Homer W. Hesterly Armory because of "hardened security" measures as the result of the September 11th terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C., Brody and his crew began a frantic search for a replacement building. "Every place we inquired was either too big, too small, or just too expensive," Brody said. "At one point we had it narrowed down between two buildings. But, as it turned out, one was already booked and the other had hidden costs in their contract that made it prohibitive. All the other places we found that would have been perfect were already booked solid." While seating at the WrestlePlex is limited to 250, fans who are lucky enough to get tickets will have a unique opportunity to experience NWA wrestling like never before. "It's a very intimate setting," said one half of the NWA World Tag Team Champions Vito DeNucci. "With fans being literally five feet away, they're going to almost feel like they are in the ring with us." Even though the WrestlePlex cannot accommodate as many people as the Armory, all parties involved promised a pull-out-all-stops show. Along with the venue change, the outgoing NWA president announced that the day time Fan Convention would be canceled due to a lack of space to accommidate it and also a change in ticket prices. Brody said all tickets for the "Battle of the Belts 2001" show would now be $15 and said anyone who had purchased a ticket for $20 or $17 will get a refund at the door. The Florida WrestlePlex is located at 4055 35th Street North, Suite 1, in St. Petersburg. For more information on the show, including directions to the WrestlePlex and how to purchase tickets on-line without any additional fees, contact the NWA hotline at 813-960-4168 or visit http://www.nwa-florida.com *The Official APW ONLINE NEWSLETTER* by: Senior Media Editor, Jermz (September 23rd - September 29th 2001) 4 WEEKS til APW's KING OF INDIES 2001! ------------------------------------------- *THREE MORE NAMES ADDED TO KING OF INDIES* Three more wrestlers were announced this past week as participants for October's King Of Indies 2-Day Tournament, running the total to 12 (leaving only 4 spots left). They are: -"Baby Bull" Bison Smith -American Dragon -"Innovator" Vincenzo Massaro These are three of the top up-and-coming independent wrestlers in the world today. APW is very proud to announce these men as participants in what will be the biggest tournament in indie-wrestling history. Here is a quick look at the three latest KOI participants: Name: Vincenzo Massaro Height: 5'9" Weight: 259 Known throughout APW as one of the most innovative wrestlers in the sport today, Vinny Massaro is notorious for showcasing a new, totally original maneuver during almost each and every match he wrestles. His wide array of personalized finishers includes the "B*tch Slap", "The Copyright" and the "Greetings From The Pink Poodle." Vinny has wrestled all over the country for APW, Southern California's UPW, Chicago's MCW and other indies. Some of his best matches have come against wrestlers like Boyce LeGrande, Jardi Frantz & Jayson Reign. Massaro competed in last years King Of Indies Tournament, only to lose in a great opening round match to Scoot Andrews. He has had a great year so far in 2001, putting on great matches in his current feud with The Frantz Brothers. Massaro may not be the biggest or quickest wrestler, and he may not have the best body in this tournament, but he is definitely worthy of his spot. The Innovator is one of the top up and coming wrestlers in the entire country, and we look forward to a strong showing from him in this years tournament. Name: American Dragon Height: 5'10" Weight: 185 The American Dragon graduated from Shawn Michaels San Antonio Wrestling Academy in 1999, and was signed to a WWF developmental deal after less than 2 years in the business. In addition to being trained by Michaels, whom he credits as being a huge influence on his career, training duties were also shared by William Regal & Tracy Smothers. Dragon has an amazingly versatile arsenal, as he combines both aerial and technical wrestling into his style. He attributes much of his success to working with other great wrestlers such as Jerry Lynn, Reckless Youth, Joey Abs, Spanky and Lance Cade. He has worked for many promotions including Shawn Michaels' TWA, Tennessee's MCW, Memphis Power Pro and even Japan's FMW. Dragon grabbed national attention earlier this spring with his "blow away" performance, being named MVP of the ECWA's Super 8 Tournament. His match against Low-Ki at that show is still being talked about today as one of the best matches in Super 8 history. He is v! ery influenced by the Japanese style of wrestling, in which he names NOAH's Mitsuharu Misawa as one of his favorites, along with Toshiaki Kawada, Minoru Tanaka and Tiger Mask 4. He also says he would love to work against American wrestlers such as Chad Collyer or 2000 King Of Indies Champion Christopher Daniels. We look forward to seeing American Dragon compete at the 2001 King Of Indies Tournament in Vallejo, Ca. this October. He will join a large list of the top names in wrestling today, which will be bringing you the biggest night in independent wrestling history. Name: Bison Smith Height: 6'3" Weight: 290 Bison Smith has most recently made a name for himself in Japan, working for Mitsuharu Misawa's Pro Wrestling NOAH. Misawa was very impressed with Smith's work and signed him up for a tour this past September, in which he wrestled against some of the best from that promotion, while teaming up with superstars like Michael Modest, Donovan Morgan & Vader! He has been invited to return to Japan for the GHC Tag Team Tournament in October, in which his partner will be Bull Schmitt. Some of the other names in that tournament include Jun Akiyama, Akira Taue and Shinjiro Otani. Many say Smith reminds them of a young "Dr. Death" Steve Williams, which is a huge compliment, but also very true. He is a good brawler, and a good mat wrestler. He can also do some amazing things for a man his size. Smith is one of the biggest and strongest competitors you will see in this years King Of Indies Tournament. Touring Japan has paid off greatly for him, as he has become a more solid wrestler, and understands the sport now better than ever. He will most definitely be one to watch in this years tournament. ------------------------------------------- *MORE KING OF INDIES 2001 TIDBITS* <>The final 4 competitors for the tournament are expected to be named within the next week. Starting October 1st, the first round matches for the tournament will be let out to the public. However, the brackets will not be announced until the first night of the KOI tournament. This way, it builds suspense so the fans know what great 1st round matches they will see, but won't know the quarter-final matches until the night of the tournament. <>APW President Roland Alexander, gearing up for a huge week of wrestling, has went on record and stated: "I promise you the King Of Indies opening round matches will be the best anyone has ever seen in the history of indie wrestling. This is a deep tournament and you'll be surprised to hear who the final 2 or 3 entries are." "I just want to take this time to thank all the wrestlers who applied for KING OF INDIES. Some of you are just not qualified, while others are very qualified, and it was a tough selection process. Some of you are very worthy of KING OF INDIES, but it was a numbers game when making the selections. My advice to you is to keep plugging away at your career and make it a goal to be accepted into the KING OF INDIES 2002, as every year this tournament will not only get better but could be the stepping stone to a full-time job with a major wrestling promotion...especially the 2-day BOOT CAMP Summit where there will be promoters scouting talent." <>Speaking of the 2-day Boot Camp Summit, which takes place Wednesday October 24th & Thursday October 25th: This will only be open to the general public on the 2nd night, which is Thursday October 25th (from 7:00pm to 9:00pm).

For those that read this every week you may know that Dean Hill usually opens the show. This week instead Jim Cornette got on the mic to share a very important message with the Davis Arena crowd. He shared the fact that the special tribute to the victims of the World Trade Center attacks was not aired on OVW TV due to one person disagreeing with it who works for the WB affiliate in Louisville. Cornette was very upset with this action and decided to voice his opinion and explain to the fans exactly why this wonderful message was not shared to the TV audience. It's been reported as being "Bradshaw like" which it was, with a huge dosage of Jim Cornette. -Damaja & Randy Orton vs. Sean Casey & Chris Michaels -Match got off to a good technical start with with the team of Casey and Michaels really drawing major heat from the crowd. Orton pulled off a fantastic standing dropkick followed later by a very impressive powerslam. The match was very quickly paced and one of the better matches of the night. Towards the end of the match Chris Michaels grabbed Orton and Casey went for the SuperKick but missed and hit Michaels allowing Orton to pull off the Wheelbarrow Suplex and gain the pinfall. -Winners Damaja & Randy Orton via pinfall -Payne & Damien w/ Synn & Swail vs. Rico Costatino & Prototype w/ Bolin & Crony OVW TAG TITLE MATCH LEVIATHAN & MR. BLACK BARRED FROM RINGSIDE -After the contenders are announce Brock Lesnar makes his way to ringside and takes a front row seat to view the match. The local crowd was literally all over the team of Rico and Prototype calling them all sorts of insulting terms, even referring to Prototype as "Homotype". The match was overall very well done with both teams really excelling in the tag team division. Payne and Damien pulled off an excellent double team slam move, which I'm not quite sure how to describe, but it was impressive to say the least. The match came to an end as Bolin went to the ring apron directly in front of Lesnar and attempted to hit Payne with his briefcase, Lesnar ended up pulling him off the apron and carrying the not so light Bolin over his head to the back. The match then came to an end as Synn and Swail took out who we thought was Jerome Crony, although he had his face taped up because of a fireball attack and took him to the back. Next the real Jerome Crony of Bolin Services came out as Damien was about to get a pinfall and did a top rope elbow drop and allowed Rico and Prototype to pick up the pinfall. -Winners via pinfall Rico & Prototype -David Flair & Ron Waterman vs. Jason Lee & Derrick King -This was another great technical match as you might expect and Suicide Blonde match to be, but the team of Waterman and Flair were also impressive on the technical side. I'm really glad that OVW is making Flair into a respectable technical wrestler, it is by far the right decision. Flair has improved immensely since joining OVW. The match started off with Ron Waterman overall dominating the physical end really delivering some high impact to Derrick King who is hilarious, and tremendously over with the crowd. Lee had an impressive second rope spring board 180 elbow drop. The match came to an end as Derrick King pulled out a pair of brass knuckles and attempted to use them against Flair, but Flair saw this and pulled them away and used them on King costing the Blondes the match. -Winners David Flair & Ron Waterman via pinfall -After the match the Suicide Blondes went up to the commentators booth and said that the only reason that they lose like that was because no one had their back and announced that next week they would unveil a new member of the Suicide Blondes to the world who will have their back. I am very anxious to see who this will be as the team of Derrick King and Jason Lee are by far the most under rated tag team or individual wrestlers in OVW besides maybe Casey, Michaels or Spade. -Bobby Eaton vs. Mr. Black DARK MATCH -This was by far, in my own opinion, the worst match of the night with nothing but kicks and punches. Usually Black's matches aren't that bad with some wrestling moves thrown in the mix. This match drew a Boring Chant from the usually loyal OVW crowd, which is a rare thing to hear. The match ended with the only move of the match being Eaton's Swinging Neck Breaker to pick up the pinfall. -Winner Bobby Eaton via pinfall -Nick Dinsmore Machine Rob Conway vs. Big Bad John Bull Buchanan Victoria -Another excellent match opening with a good brawl between Machine and Buchanan. Victoria was then momentarily tagged in and pulled off an impressive standing moonsault, but then tagged out. Big Bad John was then tagged in, who is starting to show some sort of improvement compared to the past few weeks and pulled off an devestating second rope fall away slam, from a viewers perspective this was an injury waiting to happen but was pulled off very impressively and successfully. Victoria was tagged in once again only to miss a Top Rope Moonsault. The match then came to an end with a man, who I couldn't recognize running in and laying out Dinsmore and allowing Victoria to get the pinfall over Dinsmore. After the match Flash comes in with a Trashcan lid and literally takes a swing and connects with practically everyone in the ring, for the members of the Parents Television Council monitoring, no he did not hit Victoria. The show then went off the air from there wrapping up another great night of OVW. -Winners Machine, Big Bad John & Victoria via pinfall -Email me with your Questions or Comments AwLurch@hotmail.com
