  • [From the Vault] The Alliance Guys Podcast with Bill Behrens
    Few have worn as many hats in the world of professional wrestling that Bill Behrens.  From 2002 through 2004, Behrens was the president of the National Wrestling Alliance.  While acting as president, Behrens was the owner-operator of NWA Wildside, operating out of Cornelia Georgia, NWA Wildside was known for starting the careers of AJ Styles, Ron Killings, and showcasing the top indy talent in the country.  300 Consecutive weeks of Syndicated television aired before the promotion closed its doors in 2005.  Behrens continued to work closely with NWA Anarchy (the promotion that took the place of Wildside.)
    Behren talks about his history in the wrestling business, television syndication, the National Wrestling Alliance, and also spoke at length of the business of wrestling.  I humbly believe this is probably the best episode for people looking into starting in the wrestling business.  Behren’s had worked with the WWE as well as TNA in various roles.  And on the Independent Wrestling Scene, Behren’s has worked as a producer, a promoter, and currently heads the Show Business Inc., Wrestling Booking Agency.  When Bill Behren’s joins the Alliance Guys Podcast Saturday, June 15 we look forward to speaking about the business side of wrestling.  How to quantify success in independent wrestling?  Is promoting wrestling as easy as we (the fans) all think?  Which talents does he represent?  And we’ll be discussing his thoughts on working with the National Wrestling Alliance, the Allied Independent Wrestling Federation, and other such wrestling alliances.

  • talkNWA: Waxing Poetic about Jax Dane

    Jax Dane makes was supposed to make his in-ring debut for NWA POWERRR, this Tuesday 6:05 Eastern on YouTube.com/NWA.  Obviously things have changed recently with the announcement that the NWA is pausing live event production until June.  Jax's history with the National Wrestling Alliance is mostly unknown to new NWA fans, but "Godzilla" was one of the unsung heroes of the NWA of the previous ownership era.  

    On this episode of #talkNWA, we talk about Jax's history in the National Wrestling Alliance.  Jax was a GrandSlam Champion, being a former NWA World Tag Team Champion (with Rob Conway), briefly unifying the NWA North American and NWA National Championships, and a former NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion.

  • talkNWA: Crockett Cup Cancelled!

    We all knew the Crockett Cup 2020 was in jeopardy with the COVID-19 Pandemic.  And I was holding on to hope that things would be clearing up by now.  But it hasn't.  And the smart thing to do is to cancel the event due to the safety of all people involved.  But that doesn't mean we're happy about it.  You can read about the closing here (dlvr.it/RS0DYl).  But the scary part is what happens after two months of hiatus for the promotion and the wrestlers who are working for the NWA.

  • [From the Vault] The Alliance Guys Podcast with Jax Dane

    We are only days away from the continuation of one of the biggest feuds of the National Wrestling Alliance in the last 10 years.  Tim Storm and Jax Dane are set to face off soon on an episode of #NWAPOWERRR, but long before being Worlds Heavyweight Champion or having Storm as a thorn in his side, Jax Dane was dominating the National Wrestling Alliance in the great state of Texas.  Dane would at one point unify all of the NWA affiliated Heavyweight Texas Championships.  And in this interview from 2013, Dane tells us more about breaking into the world of wrestling and what his future plans were.  To celebrate the World Champion's Birthday, give it a listen.  

    What are the images that pop into your head when you think of Godzilla?  How about a Giant?  How about Destruction or Devastation?  If you can pull off a nickname that includes Godzilla, it means that you are one bad dude.  “The Vanilla Godzilla” Jax Dane lives up the reputation of being big, hard to stop, and leaves a path of destruction where ever he goes.  Whether teaming with Rowe or as a singles wrestler is making a big name for himself in Texas

    When Jax joins the show we’ll talk about how Bryon Wilcot robbed the “Vanilla Godzilla” of his Lonestar Heavyweight Championship when Wilcot pinned  “Cowboy” James Claxon at the most recent NWA Houston Event.  We’ll ask the reigning Branded Outlaw of Wrestling Champion about his upcoming match on August 17 against former WWE and ROH Wrestler Charlie Haas.   We will inquire about Dane’s recent debut at NWA SAW, reuniting the Path of Resistance. We’ll also discuss the NWA World Champion and Jax’s close friend Rob Conway, who won the championship subbing for an injured Dane.  Since becoming Champion, Conway has travel to Japan to defend the title twice; we’ll ask Dane what it was like to be in Conway’s corner in Japan.  Plus we’ll discuss what is going on in his home state of Texas, his thoughts on the current top contenders in the NWA and his future plans, including if he has any plans to challenge his close friend.

  • [From the Vault] "Scrap Iron" Adam Pearce (Oct 5th 2010)
    “I’m not a star David Marquez… I’m a legend,” was echoed during the “1 Hour Interview Special with the Worlds Champion” on KDOC-TV.  And although we are only one week removed from the one-hour special with “Scrap Iron” Adam Pearce, there are many unanswered questions we have for the Worlds Champion.  No stranger to Alliance Radio, this will make the 4th appearance of the three time reigning NWA World Champion has been our guest on the show.  When we catch up with the Adam he will be returning from his most recent NWA World Title defense in Canada for WFX Wrestling and preparing for his match-up with “Boom Boom” Colt Cabana  for NWA Championship Wrestling from Hollywood.  When you are the Worlds Champion, there is no such thing as a day off.  Pearce spent the week previous in Atlanta and the week before that in Mexico.  When we catch up with Adam we’ll be talking about his past few weeks of action across North America, his appearance for WFX Wrestling, the much talked about NWA Championship Wrestling from Hollywood and his showdown with Colt Cabana.  And we’ll take your calls too!
