Top Contenders Inc., the NAWA's parent company, based in New York, applied to trademark the following:
-Jingle Brawl
-Slambinos
Both filings were for goods & services in the realms of "Entertainment services, namely, producing wrestling exhibitions and contests; organization, arranging and conducting of wrestling exhibitions and contests; entertainment services, namely, producing video programs featuring wrestling exhibitions and contests; entertainment services, namely, distributing video programs featuring wrestling exhibitions and contests by online video streaming."
The promotion has released several videos featuring The Slambinos of late on the NAWA YouTube Channel, including appearances from former ECW star Sal E. Graziano:
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 last month.
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 promotion has continued to release vintage footage from their original incarnation in the early 1990s:
