I'll also add stuff here.

It was twenty-four days after King Simms won the vacant IHWE Heavyweight Championship, that he came on to our live stream. That championship is synonymous with modern-day Texas Wrestling luminaries like Rodney Mack and Charlie Haas. It is a title that was also held by Jimmy Jacobs and the Necro Butcher. Simms became champion when he defeated Davante James.

But the story of King Simms and his path to pro wrestling involved family, heartache, and a desire to build a legacy.

This week, Jay Cal welcomes Carson Drake, the No. 1 contender for the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship, for a conversation that's equal parts hilarious, controversial, and completely unpredictable.

Carson doesn't hold back as he talks about:

• Why he believes no one in the NWA is on his level
• His championship mindset heading into the biggest match of his career
• The Federation of Champions, Aaron Stevens, and the future of the NWA
• Why money—not legacy—is his biggest motivation
• His thoughts on wrestling legends, today's stars, and why he says he'd beat them all
• California living, In-N-Out Burger, Rolex watches, and plenty of unforgettable one-liners

This week on the Alliance Blog Podcast, I sat down with veteran professional wrestler Biggie Biggs to discuss his remarkable 30-year career, the return of Dangerous Adrenaline Wrestling Gladiators (DAWG) to the Monmouth County Fair, and the art of connecting with an audience.

Biggie shared what makes the fair shows so unique, explaining how wrestling, racing pigs, and pirate performances create a nonstop family-friendly experience that drew more than 110,000 attendees last year, with some wrestling events attracting crowds of nearly 5,000 fans.

But the conversation went far beyond promoting an event.

Fred Slow is an Albuquerque-based sports broadcaster and professional wrestling promoter who founded Duke City Championship Wrestling (DCCW) in 2023. He later led the promotion into the National Wrestling Alliance as NWA New Mexico, making it one of the NWA's officially recognized regional territories.  Before his work with DDCW, he had been an on-air radio personality in both New Mexico and his home state of Missouri.

He launched DCCW to build up the local independent wrestling scene in Albuquerque to emphasize the local talent and produce live events that would cater to the community.

Fred speaks to Jay about joining the National Wrestling Alliance and what he envissions for the NWA going forward.

Not too many talents under the NWA umbrella can say they have been with the company since day 1. Big Strong Mims was on the very first set of NWA POWER Tapings and was actually working various duties for the NWA all the way back to the 70th Anniversary Show.

In eight years with the National Wrestling Alliance, Mims is a former NWA National Heavyweight Champion and NWA Television Champion. Back in the 2021 era of the NWA, Mims sought out The Pope as a mentor. The two competed at the 2022 Crockett Cup. Shortly after that, Crockett Cup, the two went their separate ways, with the Pope leaving the company.

In the past few months, the two have come to an understanding and appear to be on the same page. Jay Cal discusses this new alliance with Mims, the art of tag-team wrestling, overcoming imposter syndrome, and what's next for Big Strong Mims.

Paul Pratt wears many hats. A producer, a writer, a ringside commentator, a manager, and, to be fair, probably about a dozen or more contributions to the world of wrestling and the National Wrestling Alliance. Before he ever wrote an article or produced a talent, he was a fan.

Paul is very candid about the National Wrestling Alliance and discusses his point of view both as an employee of the NWA and as a fan. Paul has made several appearances on our weekly pre-party live stream.

The National Wrestling Alliance airs its weekly program POWERRR, on Saturdays at 4 PM Eastern and Pacific, with a midnight replay.
