Why You Should Know The New Wave:
In a company that prides itself on having a standout tag-team division compared to most other indies, the New Wave are the crown jewel in NWA Anarchy. Like many other tag-teams, they started out as hated rivals in the North Carolina indies eventually realizing they work out better as a tag-team. Some compare them to a modern day Rock and Roll Express and as it stands they're on they're way to becoming as successful as they have been.

They're first reign started out by beating the formitable NWA Elite of Shatter and Kimo ending their 270 day run. It was then they started a hated rivalry with Talent and Money, which led to T&M wanting the belts so bad they joined up with the NWA Elite.

After tearing up the ranks in NWA Anarchy, they're not only tearing it up in the North Georgia promotion, but throughout the Southeast Independent scene as well in various NWA promtions in Tennessee and Carolinas.

  1. just a suggestion, but it'd be cool if you gave recommendations as to whether they are ready for WWE (or TNA?); which promotion they'd best fit

    in this case, since tna sux and they are a tag team, they're probably best where they are now?

  2. I like these guys. In a promotion like Anarchy, where the roster is so fluid, these guys really have been a bit of a rock for them for a while now. I don't think they are quite ready for prime time yet, still a bit derivative in my opinion, but they are fun when they are comfortable.
