Interference ends
pair on NWA card
A no-contest match, a disqualification and a hard-fought win by Bull Bronson highlighted action in the squared circle on the NWA Warriors of Wrestling card Saturday night.
Interference in two matches caused one to be stopped and the other to end in a DQ.
The Fabulous Rocker and Ty Blade fought to a no contest when “The Golden Boy” Greg Anthony and Chic Canyon got involved in the match.
Then, in tag team action, Rocker and Anthony were disqualified in their match with Canyon and Blade when Bronson interfered as Rocker and Anthony were getting pummeled.
Ike Tucker then stormed the ring, causing Rocker, Anthony and Bronson to flee.
Bronson weathered his biggest test to date with a win over Tucker, while other matches saw Anthony defeat Blade and Canyon top Shawn Reed.
This weekend’s main event has NWA Southern Heavyweight champion Drew Haskins returning to Union City to defend his title against No. 3 contender Jerimiah Plunkett.
Another wrestling legend is slated to appear in Union City, while the card will also feature, Anthony, Rocker, “The Trend Setter” Jon Michael and other NWA/WOWF superstars.
