Wildfire1324 Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 [QUOTE]As my diary has passed over 6000 views, I thought it might be helpful to some of the newer readers to provide an abbreviated version of my diary to make it easier to catch up. The following is going to be an overview of the big events, matches, signings and happenings that have occured in my diary. I want to thank every one who has taken the time to read through my little project here which has taken on a life of its own. I truly appreciate all of the views and all of the feedback and I hope you enjoy this look back.

Nelson, ceases to recognize Total Nonstop Action Wrestling and reclaims its World Heavyweight and World Tag Team Championships from them. TNA retains the X-Division title which was never recognized by the NWA and also creates the TNA World Heavyweight and TNA Tag Team titles to replace the NWA's championships. As part of the agreement, the NWA cannot sign any talent who were under contract to TNA at the time of the split for a period of one year. * The NWA announce at a joint press conference with the management of the FUSE network the debut of their new show, FUSION that will air on Wednesday nights live at 9PM EST. The FUSE network's affiliations in the music industry allow the NWA to use licensed music for its show and wrestlers. * The NWA officials scour the globe looking for talent for its promotion. Several top independent stars are signed to NWA contracts including Steve Corino, La Parka, Mike Awesome, Vampiro, Masato Tanaka, Matt Weise, Tito Ortiz and more. * The first episode of FUSION airs featuring four first round matches in the tournament to crown the first true NWA World Heavyweight Champion of the new century. The show is headlined by Steve Corino defeating the Patriot. * Making a surprise appearance, Abdullah the Butcher makes his NWA debut as a mystery opponent for Steve Corino. Corino wins the match which is a bloodbath. * Less than a month after joining the NWA, C.W. Anderson uses an out clause in his contract to leave the NWA to sign with the new ECW. * The NWA and the FUSE Network announce their first two hour special to air on the first Saturday in June called SHOWDOWN. * By the end of the month, the sixteen man World title tournament is down to the final two as Steve Corino defeats Masato Tanaka and D'Lo Brown defeats Matt Weise in the semi-finals.
