Beginning on Monday night, the revamped National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) began two nights of tapings in Atlanta, Georgia for their new weekly show, NWA Power, debuting next week on YouTube. With only a bare-bones roster announced, people were interested to see who would be adding their names to the new NWA wrestling show brand. Two tag teams joined the action early, one a pair of indie veterans and the other a pair of indie legends.
THE DAWSONS (Dave & Zane Dawson)
Brothers Dave and Zane Dawson have been tag team regulars in the Mid Atlantic area since 2007. Starting out with United Pro Wrestling Association (UPWA) in North Carolina, before becoming stars with Carolina Wrestling Federation (CWF) Mid Atlantic in Gibsonville, NC. In 2018 they joined another promotion in North Carolina, America’s Most Liked (AML) Wrestling, where they’re already 2x AML Tag Team Champions (with another in CWF Mid Atlantic and UPWA). They made their NWA debut earlier this year as one of the teams in the rebooted Crockett Cup Wildcard Battle Royal to kick off the event (which was ultimately won by the new NWA World Tag Team Champions, The Wildcards, featuring Royce Isaacs & Thomas Latimer).

Both tag teams are very old school tag teams, but with a modern edge to them, and fit in well for a company trying to recapture a certain vibe of history, as the retro sets seem to indicate.
