NWA Championship Wrestling from TBS Studios
April 23, 2016
The program kicks off in front of the classic NWA logo behind the studio desk with the announcing trio of Joey Styles, Les Thatcher & Mike Tenay. They welcome the fans to the first hour of the two-hour NWA program from Atlanta, Georgia. The trio talk about the big match MsChif had with NWA Women's World's Champion Kana where it appeared MsChif had apparently pinned her in a title defense in Oklahoma City last Sunday afternoon. Apparently Sonny Onoo assaulted the referee after MsChif pinned the champ & referee Dave Hebner reversed his decision - disqualifying Asuka who was pinned. They tried to talk with Asuka & Onoo but they were on a flight that night for Japan for business reasons.
MsChif, who is here today, was interviewed after the match. She was furious - saying it was deliberate by Onoo to keep Asuka the title. But MsChif says she will not be denied the next time they meet.
