EC3 took to Twitter today to give his take that headlocks are different in the National Wrestling Alliance. The NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion wrote,

“At the @nwa OUR HEADLOCKS ARE EFFECTIVE WEAPONS THAT
-Tell a Physical Story
-Allow a competitor to not aimlessly throw soft forearms and half hearted kicks that all sound the same.
-Actually work

Chant #HEADLOCK today. #newera overERA #overMAN”

Premier Streaming Network sent out the following press release today, announcing that Florida-based promotion wXw Wrestling will be joining their service:

WXW Is Joining Premier Streaming Network

World Xtreme Wrestling (WXW), one of the most storied independent professional wrestling promotions, owned and operated by World Wrestling Entertainment Hall of Famer and one half of the The Wild Samoans, Afa Anoa’i, is bringing their star-studded catalog of events, as well as new content, to Premier Streaming Network. Beginning in 2024, WXW’s matches, past and present, will be available on Premier, but on Thursday, November 9th, Premier will have a special WXW preview on the debut episode of ‘The Wrestling Hour’ with Josh Shernoff and Dave Sturchio.

On the first episode of ‘The Wrestling Hour,’ Shernoff and Sturchio will show a talent-loaded match from WXW’s 1998 Sportsfest event featuring D-Lo Brown and Owen Hart, with Mark Henry vs. The Love Connection (Georgie Love and Jay Love) with The Rock and Mick Foley/Mankind on commentary.

“I’m incredibly excited for WXW to join Premier Streaming Network,” said Josh Shernoff, Chief Content Officer with Premier. “WXW’s vast library of events and matches is a significant piece of wrestling history that we are proud to bring to fans around the world. This marks the first time these events have been available for streaming, and it holds a special place for me personally. I began my journey to become a pro wrestler in January of 2001 at the Wild Samoan Training Center under Afa’s tutelage. Their legacy means a lot to me, and I’m thrilled to contribute by making old footage accessible and bringing new events to audiences worldwide.”
