More Than A Texas Tag Title On The Line September 3 In Big D At NWA-SW/SWF: State Pride!

Posted: Sep 3rd 2008 By: CMBurnham

NWA Commissioner Ken Taylor announced Sept. 3, that a first-ever State versus State championship showdown has been signed, and will take place sometime in October in Texas, either in Dallas or Austin.

Taylor said a Red River Rivalry has been an objective of his for the past 5 years, but no Oklahoma champion or Texas champion until Oklahoma Tag team champions High Society just a few days ago came forth in a phone call place to Taylor to issue a direct challenge to its other State counterpart.

So, the stage is set. High Society will now await to see who emerges as Texas champion, the champion Texas Regulators or the challenger Total Devastation on Sept. 13, and then the match date will be set on that very same night via conference call hookup with High Society in Oklahoma.

"High Society has stepped now begging for a shot to also become Texas Tag Team champions and dual champions," said Taylor. "We decided to do this in October to chime in as close as possible to the annual football rivalry between Texas and Oklahoma. The timing is absolutely perfect for this to be coming together right now."

Taylor added that this match will be historically significant as it will mark the first time in the 10-year NWA-SW era that an Oklahoma champion has faced a Texas champion with a belt up for grabs. "If High Society wins then they'll be expected to put up their State belts before the end of the year to whomever is the # 1 contender in Texas in the time-honored return rematch."
