By Mike Johnson on 2020-10-21 18:32:00

The relaunched North American Wrestling Alliance promotion run by Tony Capone announced overnight that their return event "Jingle Brawl"  will be held on Saturday 12/19 on FITE.TV.  The event will be held in Daytona Beach, Florida at the Ocean Center Daytona Beach starting locally at 7 PM.  Tickets will be on sale via Ticketmaster.com with fans socially distanced in the venue.  For more details, visit www.nawawrestling.com.

The NAWA promotion originally ran the Westchester County area in New York in 1992, securing a TV slot nationally on Sportschannel America in the summer that year, utilizing names that included Sean Waltman (as the Lightning Kid), the late Hercules Hernandez, Tommy Dreamer, Taz, The Hater, Johnny Rotten (soon to become Johnny Grunge), S.D. Jones and others, including giving Joey Styles his first ever announcing experience.   The promotion ran for several months and then later returned on a larger scale in 1999, running the Westchester County Center with Bruno Sammartino, Shane Douglas, Sid Vicious, The Public Enemy and more appearing.

Capone announced the return of the company several weeks ago.

The promotion's website lists former WWE and WCW star Paul Roma as the promotion's Chief Operating Officer with Roma's partner in the CT-based Paradise Alley Pro Wrestling school, Mario Mancini as the head of talent relations.  Former ECW star Sal E. Graziano is also listed as working in talent relations.  Robert Champion, who worked with Capone on the earlier incarnations of the NAWA is also back.  Cyndi Snow (aka Bobcat) and longtime independent promoter Lou Reardon are also involved in the management side.

The talent roster listed on the website is highlighted by former WWE developmental talent Danny Inferno as well as number of Northeastern independent talents.  WWE Hall of Famer Bushwhacker Luke Williams has cut a promo for the promotion, so the plan is for him to appear as well.

The promotion has been placing classic content on a YouTube channel.  The promotion's website also states they will be running regularly in New York City, upstate New York, Connecticut, New Jersey and other cities, including Chicago and Indianapolis, although when that may occur obviously depends on the COVID-19 pandemic.
