(Editor's note: Would you believe it?!? A NEW card from NWA Squared Circle?!?  The first card since late July 2006... And there are MORE to come... That's right... a hiatus where there was an ACTUAL return to the original style of writing and booking in a circuit. And they said it couldn't happen. Then again THEY are also the ones that doubted El Dandy! On with show...)

Glad to see this fed is getting revived.

It was never dead  ;)  It's been sitting here with 3 weeks of cards booked but not run in TNM since last summer.  I just finally got the time to revisit it.  :)   It is such a unique concept, I couldn't let it die.
