National Wrestling Alliance Hollywood Wrestling , or NWA Hollywood for short , is the name of a former US wrestling promotion that was based in Los Angeles , California . Promoters were Gene and Mike LeBell .
history
The story of the promotion begins in November 1949, when Hugh Nichols opened a local NWA office in Los Angeles with the NWA Los Angeles Office , which was responsible for southern California , as part of the National Wrestling Alliance . There, the NWA office hosted under the banner of NWA Los Angeles .
In early 1953, the NWA Los Angeles was embroiled in a tangible scandal . Because of this, the NWA was sued by the FBI Los Angeles . Because of the lost trial, the NWA closed its Los Angeles and San Francisco offices in December 1957 .
An internal NWA process began against the bookers and promoters responsible at the time . This ended in 1958 with a 10-year ban on the persons concerned.
Due to the NWA exclusion, the former NWA Los Angeles was reorganized into the new Banner North American Wrestling Association (NAWA) . Officially, this doctorate now belonged to the US independent scene , but it was traded by the NWA as an associated doctorate . For this purpose, the NWA promoter Eddie Quinn was brought to Los Angeles in 1959 and a storyline began to be worked out, at the end of which the NAWA should become independent.
The NAWA now named Edouard Carpentier NWA World Champion and openly opposed Sam Muchnick . In June 1961, Carpentier ceded the NWA title to Fred Blassie and the NAWA began to separate from the NWA.
The promotion has now been reorganized into the banner World Wrestling Alliance (WWA) and with the dismissal of Eddie Quinn and the setting of the NWA California in 1962 the de facto expulsion from the National Wrestling Alliance took place.
After the suspension expired, WWA rejoined the National Wrestling Alliance as an affiliate on October 1, 1968 under the banner of NWA Hollywood Wrestling . The banner was discontinued on December 26, 1982.
