NWA Smoky Mountain returns to Kingsport, TN on Saturday, August 4th at the Legendary Kingsport Civic Auditorium (1550 Fort Henry Dr.) for Fire on the Mountain… Bell time is 8:00 PM and doors will open at 7:15 PM… Get there early because this event is going to be a sell out!
This event will feature 2 HUGE Main Events… NWA Smoky Mountain’s Chase Owens will attempt to make history, when he takes on The NWA World Jr. Heavyweight Champion, Kevin Douglas for the title… Nobody from the Mountain Empire region has EVER held an NWA World Title of any kind. These men have met before with Douglas defeating Owens in a tournament in Charlotte, NC last October… Since that time the Bristol native, Chase Owens has wrestled across the country, including an appearance on WWE Smackdown. Owens has battled his way back to become the #1 Contender for the title and he now faces off with Douglas in his home area, with the pride of an entire region on his back.
In the other Main Event, NWA Smoky Mountain Heavyweight Champion, Jason “The Gift” Kincaid will put his title on the line against “The American Wolf” Davey Richards… Richards and his fellow Team Ambition members, have seemingly waged war against the NWA… Kincaid has stepped up to stop Richards in his tracks. Will he succeed or will Richards end up with one of the NWA’s most prestigious titles.
The last time Team Ambition came to the area, they orchestrated a post-match attack on NWA Legend, Ricky Morton and Chase Owens… With Morton wrestling outside the Smoky Mountain area that night and Chase challenging for the NWA World Junior Heavyweight Title, who will Richards and company target next?
Here is the card so far:
NWA World Jr. Heavyweight Title Match
Representing NWA Lone Star from Texas,
Champion, “Modern Day Hero” Kevin Douglas
Vs.
Representing NWA Smoky Mountain from Northeast TN,
Challenger, “The Real Deal” Chase Owens

UNION HEADLINES:
– Results from Saturday night’s “Reign Of Terror” event
– Fundraising continues for “Kingdom” documentary
Union of Independent Professional Wrestlers “Reign Of Terror” results from Saturday night in Toronto, Canada:
-Ashley Sixx b Rip Impact via submission
-Alex Vega b Ashley Sixx for the vacant Northern Lights Cruiserweight title (note: Shawn LaFleur vacated the belt due to injury. Sixx had Vega locked into a submission hold but reared back to far and let his shoulders hit the canvas, thus pinning himself)
-Psycho Mike Rollins b RJ City by pinfall
-Michael Elgin and Sebastian Suave went to a 30 minute draw. (note: After the match the fans began chanting for “five more minutes”. Elgin took the mic, praised Suave for his hard work. But instead of saying yes to extending the match, Elgin smashed Suave in the face with the mic and brutally assaulted him until Union officials could intervene.)
-Union Tag Team champions Ethan Page and Mr. Melo (subbing for Joey Kings) b Brent Banks and Alessandro Del Bruno by pinfall to retain the titles
-Union Heavyweight champion Josh Alexander b Pepper Parks b submission to retain the title.
