Countdown to Battle of the Belts: Final match signed

Fort Lauderdale, FL – NWA Ring Warriors announced today that the ninth and final match for the March 29th “Battle of the Belts” event which kicks off WrestleMania 28 weekend in South Florida at the Fort Lauderdale National Guard Armory, 400 State Road 84, will be the self-proclaimed “King of Florida” Francisco Ciatso taking on Wes Brisco, son of WWE Hall of Famer Gerald Brisco.

Ciatso, a staple of the Florida wrestling scene for more than a dozen years and who has at one time held a championship for nearly every Indie promotion across the Sunshine State, has experienced something he is not used to: two consecutive losses. On December 14th Ciatso lost to “The VIP” Cassidy Riley in an opening round match in the NWA Ring Warriors Grand Championship Tournament, and on January 18th he was upended by Pablo Marquez, a former WWE contracted performer.

Recorded prior to having his opponent announced, Ciatso claimed in a promotional video that it didn’t matter who he would be pitted against on March 29th for they would draw “the short straw.” The promotional video can be seen below:




Brisco, meanwhile, returns to NWA Ring Warriors following a December 14th first round loss to Steve “the Moose” Madison in the same tournament that will crown its initial champion on March 29th. Brisco, who had been under a World Wrestling Entertainment developmental contract at Florida Championship Wrestling, where he and Xavier Woods had captured the FCW tag team titles, was a professional wakeboarder before transitioning to the pro mat wars in 2009 under the tutelage of wrestlers/teachers Steve Keirn, Dusty Rhodes, Norman Smiley and Dr. Tom Prichard. In recent months Brisco has been eyed by both TNA Impact and Ring of Honor as potentially joining their rosters.

In addition to the Brisco-Ciatso pairing at “Battle of the Belts,” other matches on March 29th include:

NWA World Heavyweight Champion "Scrap Iron" Adam Pearce defending his title against a hand-picked challenger from Ring of Honor by legendary NWA manager and current ROH executive James E. Cornette;

NWA World Tag Team Champions The Dark City Fight Club (Jon Davis & Kory Chavis) facing former WWE and NWA World Tag Team Champs the Headbangers (Mosh & Thrasher) and The Red Devil Fight Team (Mikhail Ivanov & Aleksander Chekov) with manager Brett Adams and "The Russian Bear" Ivan Koloff, in a three-way dance;

NWA National Heavyweight Champion "The Dark Child" Chance Prophet meeting The Tokyo Monster Kahagas in a Steel Cage Match with the New Heavenly Bodies (“Casanova” Chris Nelson “Vivacious” Vito DeNucci) as special enforcement officials;

Countdown to Battle of the Belts: The Prince of Darkness Rises Again while a Lost Boy Returns

Fort Lauderdale, FL – NWA Ring Warriors officially announced today that Florida wrestling legend "The Prince of Darkness" Kevin Sullivan and former WWE star "The Vampire Warrior" Gangrel will appear together as a tag team on March 29th at the Fort Lauderdale National Guard Armory, 400 State Road 84, against former TNA star "The VIP" Cassidy Riley and former NWA Florida champion Steve "Moose" Madison at "Battle of the Belts."

While many might remember Sullivan as "The Taskmaster" during the waning days of World Championship Wrestling, the Boston native was best known across the Sunshine State as "The Prince of Darkness," when he and his cohorts (collectively known as the Army of Darkness) were embroiled in legendary feuds with the likes of "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes, Blackjack Mulligan, Barry Windham and the Grahams (Eddie and Mike). The AOD will once again be by Sullivan's side as longtime associate SnakeMaster Abudadein and The Beast will accompany him to the ring.

For "The Vampire Warrior" Gangrel, the match marks his first Florida appearance in five years and the first time ever he and Sullivan will team together. Gangrel's former wife, the late Luna Vachon, was a longtime associate of Sullivan's and an original member of the AOD along with Abudadein, The Fallen Angel (the late Nancy Benoit), Lock, Maha Singh (Bob Roop) and The Purple Haze (Mark Lewin).

Their opponents at "Battle of the Belts" are comprised of former NWA Florida champion Steve "Moose" Madison and former TNA star and a member of the Hotshots "The VIP" Cassidy Riley. Coming off hard fought losses to the Giant Titan and "The Marquee" Bruce Marquee, respectively – both of whom advanced to the NWA Ring Warriors Grand Championship Tournament Finals – Madison and Riley each want to get back on the winning track and be in position for a future title shot.

In addition to the Sullivan/Gangrel-Madison/Riley tag team match, also appearing on the card will be: NWA World Heavyweight Champion "Scrap Iron" Adam Pearce, legendary NWA manager James E. Cornette who will be on hand to accompany his handpicked Ring of Honor Challenger for Pearce's title, NWA World Tag Team Champions The Dark City Fight Club (Jon Davis & Kory Chavis), former WWE and NWA World Tag Team Champs the Headbangers (Mosh & Thrasher), The Red Devil Fight Team (Mikhail Ivanov & Aleksander Chekov) with manager Brett Adams and "The Russian Bear" Ivan Koloff, The Tokyo Monster Kahagas, NWA National Heavyweight Champion "The Dark Child" Chance Prophet, the 7-foot 315-pound Giant Titan, "The Marquee" Bruce Santee, former TNA stars Jesse Neal & "the Toxic Knockout" Christina Von Eerie, Chasyn Rance, Santana Garrett, WWE Hall of Famer Tammy "Sunny" Sytch, ECW original Stevie Richards, current TNA World Television Champion Robbie E., Vordell Walker and DX’s "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn. Former AWA champ "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko will also be on hand signing autographs.

In addition to the former American Wrestling Association champion being on hand, two local favorites have been added to the all-star lineup: South Florida’s own Tommy Vandal (pictured), who has had two impressive victories in each of his previous NWA Ring Warriors appearances, and former WWE competitor Pablo Marquez, who scored an exciting win over Francisco Ciatso on the January 18th NWA Ring Warriors card.

Countdown to Battle of the Belts: An ECW Original to Appear

Fort Lauderdale, FL – NWA Ring Warriors announced today that Stevie Richards, an original ECW competitor, will appear on the March 29th "Battle of the Belts" card in Fort Lauderdale, which kicks off Mania weekend.

Richards was part of ECW's popular Blue World Order (bWo) - a parody of World Championship Wrestling's New World Order - and had successful runs with both WCW (as part of Raven's Flock) and WWE (as part of Right to Censor, Stevie Night Heat and other groups). Richards appeared on international television as recently as late 2011 when he was part of TNA Impact.

The Stevie Richards/Robbie E. match will be part of a nine match all-star card that includes:

The Dark City Fight Club (Jon Davis & Kory Chavis) putting the NWA World Tag Team Titles on the line in a three-way dance against former WWE and NWA World Tag Team Champs the Headbangers (Mosh & Thrasher) and The Red Devil Fight Team (Mikhail Ivanov & Aleksander Chekov), managed by Brett Adams and accompanied by "The Russian Bear" Ivan Koloff.
