NWA CHARLOTTE ANNOUNCES IT HAS SHUT DOWN ALL OPERATIONS

NWA Charlotte has shut down for good according to the messages posted on the promotion's website by co-owners JD Costello and Jay Joyce.

Costello stated it cost $250,000 to get the NWA Coliseum ready for operation, and the costs of bringing the building into compliance with all code requirements would cost another $250,000, and that kind of money simply is not available in these difficult economic times.

Costello was highly critical of the manner in which the Charlotte Fire Department and Charlotte Police Department conducted themselves during the operation that shut down the April 25 show while it was in progress.  "With the enormous success we produced comes the dark and ugly of the world of wrestling. There were a handful of NWA ill-wishers within the business who were cynical of us and wished openly of our failure. They are feeling good at the moment, but in reality, they failed. People such as Greg Price of NWA Legends Fanfest, Rikki Nelson of MidAtlantic Championship Wrestling, Viper of Hendersonville, Thomas Simpson from wherever and George South of Charlotte...all who were jealous of our success."
