Welcome to PWInsider.com's live, ongoing coverage of the National Wrestling Alliance's first-ever When Our Shadows Falls PPV from Atlanta, GA
Pre-Show Notes from Mike Johnson:
*NWA President Billy Corgan, who was not present physically at the last set of tapings, is there at the building.
*Former WWE star Mickie James is backstage, which should not be a surprise as she is married to NWA Champion Nick Aldis.
*Homicide and Pat Kenney are there working as producers.
*There must have been some sort of technical issue as the pre-show on YouTube never streamed as planned. PWInsider.com has confirmed the results.
*Former CZW star Blk Jeez is in Atlanta and has started with the promotion as of this weekend's TV tapings.
Onto Anthony Pires' coverage!
