On Saturday, August 16th, the NWA will return to New York for its big event, “NWA 77.” The Paramount in Huntington, NY, will be home to the National Wrestling Alliance’s 77th Anniversary show. The show is beginning to take shape and is shaping up to be one of the NWA’s biggest events yet. While much of the card is still up for grabs, another match has been announced. This one sees Bryan Idol put his NWA World Television Title against Long Island’s own, the Landmine, Joe Ocasio.

At the Crockett Cup, back in May, Idol won the vacant NWA World Television Title, defeating Carson Bartholomew Drake. This, eventually, aired as part of the historic debut episode of the NWA POWERRR on the Roku Sports Channel. Since winning the title, he has successfully defended it once against Daisy Kill. Now, he will surely be up against his toughest challenge yet, Ocasio. Ocasio will be fighting in front of his hometown fans, therefore giving him some major home-field advantage. Meanwhile, Ocasio is continuing to make a name for himself all over, and could be in line for his first taste of gold in the NWA come August 16th.

Regardless of how this match turns out, this is surely to be one of the best matches on the card. Ocasio continues to amaze with his in-ring brutality. Certainly, that will be on full display come NWA 77. However, as for Idol, he looks to continue to establish himself as the NWA World Television Champion. The only question that remains is, will Idol be able to thwart the attack of the Landmine, Joe Ocasio? Nonetheless, don’t miss what is sure to be an electric night of NWA action as NWA returns to New York on August 16th for NWA 77.
