While the eyes of the wrestling world are turned to Miami for WWE WrestleMania, one of their former elite tag teams is making a huge splash right nearby. Featured is a special, 30-minute sitdown interview with Chaz Warrington (better known to the world as Headbanger Mosh). Check out what this legendary former WWE tag champion and Smokey Mountain Wrestling star has to say about the cult following of one of the most popular tag teams of all time, the art of tag team wrestling and the state of the divisions in WWE, ROH, and TNA, and … believe it or not … how he and Thrasher are poised to make as much of a splash in the world of professional wrestling as they did 15 years ago when they sat atop WWE. All that, and so much more! Thanks for the support!

Dwayne Johnson Lands Cinemacon Honour

Dwayne Johnson's transformation into a movie star is complete after he was named as the recipient of a top honour at an upcoming Las Vegas film convention.

The wrestler known as The Rock kicked off his film career in the 2000s and has been impressing audiences in the past year with his turns in Fast Five and Journey 2: The Mysterious Island.

He has now been unveiled as the recipient of the Action Star of the Year Award at the annual CinemaCon convention later this month (Apr12).

CinemaCon general manager Mitch Neuhauser says, "An exciting performer who first gained attention from audiences around the world when he developed the iconic character The Rock, Dwayne Johnson has taken his charismatic presence to the big screen and has proven over and over again that he can entertain audiences of all ages - whether it be an action-paced film or a family comedy."

Canadian Football League Hall-of-Famer and NWA Wrestling Legend Angelo Mosca Confirms Fanfest Appearance!
"Big Nasty!" The nickname was certainly appropriate -- both on the football field and in the squared circle. One of the all-time greats in both the Canadian Football League and professional wrestling, Angelo Mosca has confirmed his intentions to be with us in Charlotte this August for our NWA Wrestling Legends Fanfest Weekend.

Mosca, a big, mean and nasty defensive tackle, played in a record nine Grey Cup games, the CFL's equivalent to the Super Bowl. In 2011, he co-wrote his life story, "Tell Me To My Face."

Like many football players-turned-pro wrestlers, he began wrestling in the off-season, while still playing for the Hamilton Tiger Cats. When he retired from the gridiron after the 1972 season, he transitioned full-time to wrestling.

"King Kong" Mosca had tremendous success in many territories, not only the National Wrestling Alliance but the AWA and WWWF as well.
Five times he held the Canadian Heavyweight championship belt, which is now owned by fanfest regular Chris Kovachis. Chris caught up with Mosca at a Hamilton, Ontario book signing last September, where this photo was taken of the former champ being reunited with the authentic ring-worn belt he once held.
With special thanks to Chris, the championship belt will be available to fans to use as a prop for photo ops with Mosca at this year's fanfest weekend in Charlotte.

OUTSOURCE ANNOUNCING” PROVIDES HIGH-QUALITY AFFORDABLE WRESTLING COMMENTARY FOR ANY OF YOUR PROJECTS!

Are you a wrestling promoter looking to enhance the presentation of your product through professional play-by-play commentary, DVD graphics & video packages?

Are you a professional wrestler working on a demo disc, “Best of” DVD, or other project and want to present yourself as well as possible to potential promoters or paying customers?

Do you have old footage in your collection that you’d like improved through a new commentary track or special graphics, videos and features?

Introducing “Outsource Announcing”, a company that provides these services to you all from home, meaning YOU the customer pays NO travel costs, NO expensive equipment costs, NO extra overhead, and suffer NO extra headaches. It’s the most convenient and cost-effective way to give your project a higher quality feel.

We at O.A. are tired of seeing so many wrestling promotions who hurt their product by having to “cut corners” due to the current state of the wrestling business and economy overall. Some promotions overlook things like commentators and video packages entirely, while others choose to hire inexperienced, unprofessional and inadequate help to do the job pro bono. While the promoter may save money this way, it inadvertently hurts their product. Proper storytelling and character development is a fine art that takes years to develop properly. With the right commentator, a good match becomes great and a great match becomes a classic. With the wrong commentator, even the best talent possible will have a hard time shining through.

With that in mind, we launch “Outsource Announcing” as a means to help the promoter, the wrestler, and the fan achieve an overall better and more satisfying pro wrestling experience.

Services offered:

Play-by-play Match Commentary - Veteran wrestling broadcaster Joe Dombrowski has been developing his craft since 2003 and is considered one of the best storytellers on an independent level today. Joe’s experience has led to him broadcasting Ring of Honor (ROH) Internet Pay-Per-Views & DVD releases, national television shows such as “PWO Wrestling”, “NWA Anarchy”, and “Cleveland All-Pro Wrestling”, international events such as 1PW (One Pro Wrestling), in addition to appearances in IWC, CZW, and many others! Color commentator available upon request.

"Having had the pleasure of working with Joe on several occasions, I can tell you that he makes every show he's on better. Great storyteller, big voice and a total pro." - Kevin Kelly, veteran WWF/WWE/ROH broadcaster

"I was pleasantly surprised. You have a smooth style.... you do wrestling well." - JJ Dillon, legendary wrestling manager, former WWF/WCW/NWA executive

"Joe Dombrowski has a passion for our business and it is always evident in his broadcast. It is my opinion that he would enhance any professional wrestling product." - Jerry Jarrett, legendary promoter of Memphis territory

“Joe Dombrowski has a voice of gold, knows his stuff, and can make any broadcast better.” - Adam Pearce, former ROH booker, multi-time NWA World Champion

Video Packages - Sometimes you need to showcase a lot in a short amount of time. Whether it be recapping the history of a long-term feud or just a music video showing off the best you can do, we can enhance these stories and performances and present it in the most dramatic and compelling way possible.

DVD Covers/Event Posters/Match Graphics/Etc- Sometimes its all in how you present yourself before the viewer even sees one second of your product. From quality event posters to match graphics to covers for DVDs, we can give you a colorful, impactful, eye-catching presentation.
