We go live to the announcing team of Gordon Solie & Joey Styles in front of the huge NWA Logo for the new episode of NWA Championship Wrestling. Gordon & Joey welcome the fans back with a lot of action scheduled on today's card. The announcers remind the fans that the New Year's Brawl is tomorrow night Sunday, January 26, 2020 , at the Moda Center in Portland, Oregon. As we announced last week, there will be 2 two-ring battle royals that night plus several other matches. The men's battle royal will feature 30 of the top men in the NWA going for a $50,000 purse . The other two ring battle royal will see 10 of the top women in the NWA fighting it out for a $20,000 payout. Highlighting the evening are a World's Heavyweight Title Match between rivals champion Big Van Vader defending against former champ 'Bruiser' Brody. And a United States Heavyweight Title Match featuring champion Stan 'Lariat' Hansen going against the challenge of 'Cowboy' Bill Watts. Also on the card will be the final match of the NWA World's Junior Heavyweight Tournament. The winners from today's 2 elimination final matches advance to the final match tomorrow night.
Gordon brings out manager 'Playboy' Gary Hart with the former NWA World's Heavyweight Champion 'Bruiser' Brody who faces the current champ Big Van Vader managed by Rock Hunter Sunday night. Hart gets right to the point --- the time for talking is over. Tomorrow night Brody will beat Vader to regain his title. 'Bruiser' chimes in saying he is going kick Vader all over the Moda Center tomorrow night. That belt is coming back around the waist of 'Bruiser' Brody. 'Playboy' adds they are going to put an end to Vader once & for all.
Joey is in another studio with manager Rock Hunter & World's Heavyweight Champion Big Van Vader. Hunter agrees with Hart when he says the time for talking is over. When the dust settles Sunday night, Vader will still be the World's Heavyweight Champion. Vader adds he is going to crush Brody lika a bug & send him to the hospital. Hunter offers a world of warning to Hart & Brody, he has a full proof plan & there is nothing Hart & Vader can do about it. And the $50,000 will be won by the Rock Hunter Organization.
