Several readers have noted that their local promotions, who are members of the National Wrestling Alliance, have started to move away from using those initials. NWA Smoky Mountain in particular are advertising that their event this Saturday 8/19 will be their final event. The reason for this is that the NWA licenses with promotions that paid for them under Bruce Tharpe's version of the organization will expire this October and under new owner Billy Corgan, those licenses will not be renewed.
