RELAUNCHED NAWA PROMOTION ANNOUNCES 'JINGLE BRAWL' EVENT FOR THIS DECEMBER IN FLORIDA, STREAMING ON FITE.TV

The relaunched North American Wrestling Alliance promotion run by Tony Capone announced overnight that the first event for their return would be a live event titled "Jingle Brawl" that would stream on FITE.TV this December from Daytona Beach, Florida at the Bayfront Center Arena.  Additional details on tickets (we are told fans will be socially distanced at the venue), talents involved and pricing of the FITE PPV stream are forthcoming and will be released at www.nawawrestling.com.

The NAWA promotion originally ran the Westchester County area in New York in 1992, securing a TV slot nationally on Sportschannel America in the summer that year, utilizing names that included Sean Waltman (as the Lightning Kid), the late Hercules Hernandez, Tommy Dreamer, Taz, The Hater, Johnny Rotten (soon to become Johnny Grunge), S.D. Jones and others, including giving Joey Styles his first ever announcing experience.   The promotion ran for several months and then later returned on a larger scale in 1999, running the Westchester County Center with Bruno Sammartino, Shane Douglas, Sid Vicious, The Public Enemy and more appearing.

Capone announced the return of the company several weeks ago.

The promotion's website lists former WWE and WCW star Paul Roma as the promotion's Chief Operating Officer with Roma's partner in the CT-based Paradise Alley Pro Wrestling school, Mario Mancini as the head of talent relations.  Former ECW star Sal E. Graziano is also listed as working in talent relations.  Robert Champion, who worked with Capone on the earlier incarnations of the NAWA is also back.  Cyndi Snow (aka Bobcat) and longtime independent promoter Lou Reardon are also involved in the management side.

The talent roster listed on the website is highlighted by former WWE developmental talent Danny Inferno as well as number of Northeastern independent talents.  WWE Hall of Famer Bushwhacker Luke Williams has cut a promo for the promotion, so the plan is for him to appear as well.

The promotion has been placing classic content on a YouTube channel.  The promotion's website also states they will be running regularly in New York City, upstate New York, Connecticut, New Jersey and other cities, including Chicago and Indianapolis, although when that may occur obviously depends on the COVID-19 pandemic.
