Barrett Brown defeated Laredo Kid
NWA National Championship Tournament Semifinals: Willie Mack defeated Jay Bradley, Ricky Starks, and Mike Parrow in a four-way elimination match to advance
Tim Storm defeated Peter Avalon
NWA Worlds Women's Championship Jazz defeated Penelope Ford to retain her title (The original planned opponent for Jazz was to be Madison Rayne, but she went on to sign with Ring of Honor. Penelope Ford was offered the match because of how well she got over at "All In" and with the idea of giving someone fresh a chance)
NWA National Heavyweight Championship Tournament Final: Willie Mack defeated Sam Shaw to win the title
Tag Team Open Challenge: Crimson & Jax Dane (w/ Road Warrior Animal) defeated Shannon Moore & Crazzy Steve
Nick Aldis defeated Cody in a two-out-of-three falls match to win the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship
While a final number is still being calculated, the National Wrestling Alliance 70th Anniversary event last night was the highest grossing wrestling event in the history of the Nashville Fairgrounds Arena, including every TNA PPV ever held there.
The NWA 70 event was just shy of an official sellout.
There were some technical problems at the beginning as opening video has live audience audio. Joe Galli, Tony Schiavone and Jim Cornette welcomed us to the Asylum at the Nashville Fairgrounds and ran down the card.
Same audio issue as Colt Cabana and Sammy Guevara were interviewed in the back but we were hearing the commentary team. Scorpio Sky did a video promo, then it was time for our opening match.
During the press conference, new NWA Champion Nick Aldis said he'd like to defend the title against Marty Scurll. Aldis and Scurll actually broke into the business and worked a lot of independents together in Europe during their earliest days in the business.
While Jazz's post-match promo implied she was going for the NWA title, it was meant to reference that she wanted her own "Ten Pounds of Gold" series, similar to the one that follows the NWA Champion on YouTube.
Magnum TA was booked this past Thursday to appear tonight. Initially JJ Dillon was slated to be the legend who would present the NWA National title to Willie Mack, but a health issue prevented Dillon from appearing. TA's promo tonight was
absolutely great and there were scores of people putting him over after the show for how gracious and easy he was to work with.
Prior to his injury, Joey Janela was booked for the show but obviously had to pull out. Janela would have been competing for the NWA National title.
In a dark match before the Fite.TV broadcast went on the air, James Ellsworth defeated Karim Brigante. Ellsworth was originally booked to wrestle on the PPV but was cut as plans for the show evolved. Brigante has worked for Harley Race's World
League Wrestling in Missouri.
During the show, it was announced the promotion would be working with The Crockett Foundation charity to bring back the Crockett Cup next year.
Jeff Jarrett headed production on the show. Championship Wrestling from Hollywood's Dave Marquez directed the show.
The consensus backstage was that they knew the production issues needed to be addressed going forward and would be.
A lot of the logistical work on the show, like ring crew, were handled by Crimson's promotion.
