The following press release was issued today:
The NWA World’s Heavyweight champion is coming to Liverpool!
Matt Cardona will be making his first appearance in the UK for several years as he appears for TNT Extreme Wrestling on Thursday, 15th September.
Cardona, also known for his time in WWE and Impact Wrestling, has for many years been a firm favourite with wrestling fans all over the world, whether for his colourful character, great matches, or YouTube series’ such as the ground-breaking Z: Long Island True Story.
In February, he beat Trevor Murdoch to become the NWA Champion, holding a title that dates back to 1948. Cardona has become something of a belt collector in recent years, making his impact in various promotions, mainly in North America.
