ATLANTA, Ga. -- There are often a variety of reasons why there is news surrounding a wrestler releases from a company.

More recently, it's due to the backlash from the #SpeakingOut social media campaign. While this may be the case for people like National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) co-owner Dave Lagana, […]

Naturally, the same “experts” who demanded a global lockdown in response to the “first wave” are saddling up for an encore. Their logic, faulty the first time around, is even more so the second.
