NWA Pro Report by Marco Nelson
2006 continues to be a landmark year for the National Wrestling Alliance as NWA Pro continues to bring you the fans great matches week in and week out! Here is just some of the great action headed your way!
Sunday August 20, 2006
NWA Pro/Inoki Dojo
3200 Olympic Blvd
Santa Monica, CA 90404
5:30 Belltime
Bonzai & Chilango vs. Karl “Machine Gun” Anderson & Plague
Last week fans at the Inoki Dojo saw the debut of a mysterious masked wrestler who teamed with CMLL Super Ligero Champion Rocky Romero to defeat the team of Karl Anderson and Australia’s Mikey Nicholls. We have learned that this enigmatic warrior wishes to be known as Bonzai and that this week he will team up with veteran luchador Chilango to take on Anderson and his new partner, the awesome Plague. Little is known about Bonzai other than that after his impressive debut, you will not want to miss what he does next!
TJ Perkins vs. Mikey Nicholls
Nicholls has had a rough time on his most recent trip to America. He has had his share of wins and losses and has felt that he is being overlooked and under appreciated. The frustration building up in him has lead to recent attacks on Rocky Romero and demands from Nicholls that he be given a shot at Romero’s CMLL championship. Perkins is another wrestler who believes that he is both under appreciated and overlooked. His incredible victory in the 2006 Best of the West Tournament did not launch him into the next level as he believes it should have. Perkins would also love a shot at Romero’s title and there is little chance he will stand by and allow Nicholls to use him as a stepping stone to the belt. Although not officially a number one contender’s match, it is a safe bet that the man who wins this will be facing Romero for the belt very soon!
Durango & Pikachu vs. Shamu Jr & Impacto
One of the brightest young stars to emerge from the Inoki Dojo Lucha classes is the yellow haired fireball known as Pikachu. Now, in his biggest match to date, this youngster gets the opportunity to team with his teacher Durango in a high profile bout against the veteran team of Shamu Jr & Impacto. Can the rookie prove that he belongs with the big boys? Can Durango maintain his hot streak since returning from Japan? Come on out and see the action!
Bobby Jo Marshall vs. “Iceman” Webster Dauphiney
Another Australian who has had a rough time in America is the quirky Bobby Jo Marshall. Marshall who has gone from spewing hatred in traditional skinhead gear to popping party favors in shinny gold pants has been among the most unpredictable men anywhere in the wrestling world during this crazy summer. One man that has crossed paths with nearly every variation of the Bobby Jo Marshall rainbow is “Iceman” Webster Dauphiney. The normally calm and reserved Iceman was said to be overcome with happiness at hearing the news that he was being given another shot at Marshall. You never know what to expect with Marshall, but it is safe to assume that Iceman will be wearing his stomping boots to the ring for this one!
Reptil & Vertiz vs. Negro Ortega & Hikari
American Balloon & Ferguson Block vs. Massive Fabuloso & Colossal Chris
In the four-year history of the Inoki Dojo many young and aspiring wrestlers have had the opportunity to prove themselves inside the 20 x 20 ring. These two tag team matches define the opportunistic nature of the wrestling business, especially that which can be found in the NWA and at the Inoki Dojo. All 8 of these men are hungry to prove to the world what they bring to the table. There is no phoning in of matches or bringing anything but your best effort. Win, lose or draw we will see everything these fighters have to offer.
PLUS… special announcements will be made in regards to the Friday August 25 Inoki Dojo final event! In September the daily training and operations of the Inoki Dojo will be moving north as they head to the city of Van Nuys. In a special Friday Night attraction the Inoki Dojo will close out with a bang! Stay tuned for more information!

PLUS… rumors have been confirmed! EPW will be traveling across the outback as EPW Adelaide will be opening its doors shortly! This is a huge announcement for the wrestling fans of Southern Australia as trips to Perth are not the easiest things to make. 2706 kilometers (1,681 miles) separate the two capitols. That is approximately the distance between San Francisco and Oklahoma City, so you can see why the Adelaide faithful are excited. More on this can be found at www.epwadelaide.com
