On the 9th June 2007, the fifth name in the NWA Australian title
tournament was decided.
In Perth, Western Australia, our affiliate group, Explosive Pro
Wrestling, held a match between Bobby Marshall & Victoria’s
Spike Steele.
Marshall is a name well known to NWA Pro fans as he has wrestled
regularly for NWA Pro and it’s affiliate groups in Southern
California. Steele is one of the most established names in
Australian wrestling.
We already know that four of the spots in the tournament are
filled with Fergal Devitt, Mikey Nicholls, Jimmy Payne & Hartley
Jackson all being invited to participate in the tournament.
This was the first qualifying match for the remaining four spots
in the tournament and it highlighted the desperation of both men
to secure themselves a shot at becoming the first NWA recognised
Australian champion.
In the end, it was Spike Steele who would win by tapout in an
incredibly hard fought victory.
So with only three spots remaining we wait with interest to see
who will be next to gain a chance to qualify for a spot in the
tournament.
