Countdown to NWA Ring Warriors' 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" to kick off the WrestleMania 28 weekend.
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. 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, ECW original Stevie Richards, current
TNA World TV Champion Robbie E., 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,
Vordell Walker and DX's "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn. Former AWA Champion "The Living
Legend" Larry Zbyszko will also be on hand signing autographs.
