Upcoming Events from Around the South

AWN Pro Wrestling Presents "No Unity" on March 26 in Atlanta at the Wild Mustang, hosted by Atlanta's "Maven of Mayhem" Ruby Red. Advertised: "No Unity" Heavyweight Championship Match: Nemesis (c) versus Mark Henry (aka Simon Sermon), Shatter versus Rick Michaels, and Women’s World Champion Bambi answers Nigel Sherrod's $1,000 Challenge. Also advertised: Chris Kanyon, Truitt Fields, Thomas Exodus, Ryan Michaels, and Andrew Pendelton III, as well as the first ever (?)

Independent Wrestling Network has announced the lineup for their April 4 debut in Columbus, GA, at the Fishcrow Arena, formerly the GCW Arena. The big surprise is Jason Cross versus A.J. Steele being advertised. Cross has been away from wrestling since Dropkick Pro shut down in Macon. Steele has been a regular with Great Championship Wrestling, and was the first and only GCW Interstate Champion until two weeks ago. Steele never agreed to appear on this card, according sources within GCW. Steele told GCW he had been approached by IWN and turned them down flat. Attempts to contact IWN owner Dwayne Bell were unsuccessful. IWN and GCW are not on what you would call friendly terms, so it will be interesting to see how this plays out. Also advertised: Mr. Hughes versus Rob Adonis, the Wrestler versus Scottie Blaze, the Southside Trash versus Frankie Valentine & Adrian Hawkins, and "The Shooter" Vordell Walker versus Austin Creed.
.
The New Frontier Wrestling Association returns to Franklin, NC, on April 5 to celebrate their second anniversary at the National Guard Armory. Advertised: a four-way match, whereas if a champion in pinned, they lose their title, featuring NFWA Heavyweight Champion Brokishi, NFWA US Heavyweight Champion Dirty, Simon Sermon, and Stoney Hooker; a fan participation strap match featuring Billy Starr versus Carter Maine; the A-Team (Jamar Acid & Dark Angel) defend the NFWA Tag Team Title against the Saturday Night Sensation (Matt Sells & Ryan Michaels); Tommy Too Much versus Cornbread; and a twenty-man rumble featuring NFWA wrestlers from the past, present, and future.
