The NWA (National Wrestling Alliance) descends on Clarksville at the beginning of 2019 to partner with Tried-N-True Productions to present the first ever “NWA Pop-Up Event”.

On January 5, 2019, ‘New Year’s Clash’ will feature all active NWA Championship titles
being defended: the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship currently held by Nick
Aldis, the NWA National Championship held by Willie Mack, and NWA Women’s
Championship held by Jazz. And as a special bonus, the very first qualifying match for
the returning Crockett Cup Tag Team Tournament will be held.

The NWA has a storied history dating back to 1948 but has enjoyed a huge resurgence since being purchased by Smashing Pumpkins front man Billy Corgan in 2017. The 70th Anniversary show held at the Nashville Fairgrounds in October, headlined by Nick Aldis vs Cody Rhodes, set a new box office record for any wrestling event in Fairgrounds history.

Corgan is happy to be returning to Tennessee with the NWA:
“We are thrilled to partner with Tried-N-True Wrestling for our very first NWA Pop-Up
Event, where for one night we’ll bring our champions to the great fans of Clarksville,
Tennessee on what will be a night of hard hitting, old school meets new school
professional wrestling.”

Owned by US Army veteran and professional wrestler Anthony “Crimson” Mayweather, Tried-N-Pro Productions is excited to announce the partnership with Billy Corgan’s National Wrestling Alliance.

“This truly is a groundbreaking announcement and event that will take place on January 5th, I am not only proud to be working with such a great organization in the NWA, but I am beyond excited to be able to bring Clarksville, TN this history making LIVE event!”

NWA Pop Up Event: ‘New Year’s Clash’ will be hosted at the Wilma Rudolph Event Center located at 1188 Cumberland Drive in Clarksville, Tennessee. There will be a special meet and greet prior to the event featuring all the NWA Champions and more. Tickets may be purchased online at www.triedntruepro.com.
