The NWA’s announcement comes on the same day that the company gave a sneak peek of its new TV home in Atlanta, Georgia. NWA Vice President Dave Lagana told Sirius XM’s Busted Open in Early August that the plan was always to revive studio wrestling.

Now that plan will be realized at the GPB Studios in midtown Atlanta, Georgia. It’s in the same area as the studio that aired Jim Crockett Promotions’s World Championship Wrestling program in the 1980’s. The NWA will begin producing its new program on September 30 and October 1, 2019.

The packages will be limited to 100 fans on each night and also comes with exclusive merchandise, as well as meet and greets with some of the company’s stars. The total number of seats available have not been announced, though Lagana has said in the past that he didn’t expect more than 250 seats would be possible.
