Countdown to NWA Ring Warriors' Battle of the Belts: An ECW Original to
Appear
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.
The crafty veteran, who made a name for
himself competing for Extreme Championship Wrestling during its heyday, and who
actually wrestled in the first ever ECW match back in 1992, will face current
TNA World Television Champion Robbie E. in what is being billed as a non-title
match.
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:
NWA World Heavyweight Champion "Scrap Iron" Adam Pearce defending the title
against a handpicked Ring of Honor Challenger by Jim Cornette.
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.
The Tokyo Monster
Kahagas taking on the NWA National Heavyweight Champion "The Dark Child" Chance
Prophet in a steel cage.
The 7-foot 315-pound Giant Titan squaring
off with "The Marquee" Bruce Santee in the final round of the NWA Ring Warriors
Grand Championship Tournament.

"the Toxic Knockout" Christina Von Eerie meeting Chasyn Rance & Santana
Garrett in a mixed tag team match with WWE Hall of Famer Tammy "Sunny" Sytch as
a special referee.
And "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn taking on Vordell Walker in a Grudge
Match.
There will be four title matches on the card and more than
30 superstars participating. "Battle of the Belts" takes place at the National
Guard Armory, 400 State Road 84, Fort Lauderdale.
