I told the fans to give us a chance and that they would not be disappointed and I believe we have delivered. I'm not only excited that we will be returning to television with an NWA branded program, but equally excited about the vast talent pool we have available. It is our goal to showcase as many talents from the United States and Canada, as well as continuing our relationships with the overseas NWA Members in Europe and Japan, the Luchadores from Mexico, and IWA in Puerto Rico."

What I saw from the NWA during their stay at the Orleans Arena was nothing short of tremendous. It is my hope that this type of Americana will once again see the popularity it once enjoyed."
