Brent Albright Retains NWA Title in Mexico City
Posted: Sep 2nd 2008 By: CMBurnham
The National Wrestling Alliance replanted its roots in the rich Mexican pro wrestling soil with its first self promoted event on August 30th in Mexico City. The card featured an all-star cast that featured El Hijo del Santo, Reyo de Jalisco, Jr., Blue Demon, Jr., El Dandy, Fuerza Guerrera, Magno, Incognito, Solar and Negro Navarro. Headlining the card was the much-anticipated rematch for the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship where ?Scrap Iron? Adam Pearce challenged Champion Brent Albright.
?This event is very historic for Mexico because it is the first NWA branded event in my country. In the 60 years of the Organization the NWA had to relay on other promotions to promote the company, but I am please to be working with Mr. Bob Trobich in helping him spread the NWA name internationally,? stated NWA Mexican Promoter, Blue Demon, Jr.
NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion Brent Albright said, ?This rematch with Pearce was fantastic! Beating him in a different country means so much to me. Like I said in New York, I am dedicated to defending the ?10 lbs. of Gold? worldwide, just like the greats have before me.?
?Scrap Iron? Adam Pearce was not available for comment.
The next NWA Mexico event scheduled will be held on September 27, 2008 at Gimnasio Juan de la Barrera de la Ciudad de Mexico. Tickets will be on sale through http://www.ticketmaster.com.mx.
