(Chesterfield, Va) - 'Tornado' Tony Kozina, a former NWA World Jr.
Heavyweight Champion will be debuting for NWA Virginia on their
upcoming March 11 show in Chilhowie High School, Chilhowie, Virginia.
Kozina is no stranger to NWA rings, and has wrestled all over the world.
Kozina was originally trained by Billy Jack Haynes and Matt Borne.
Kozina Began wrestling for ECCW/NWA-PNW in April 1997, and started
developing a daredevil style in matches against wrestler Torch. In
CWUSA, Kozina was attacked repeatedly by "The Clique", (Col. DeBeers,
Buddy Wayne and Richie Magnett) in an effort to scare him out of the
wrestling business. Tony withstood the beatings and adapted a more
agressive ring style.
The 'Tornado' got in a bit over his head when he accepted Bart
Sawyer's offer to team with him against then PCW tag team champions
Matt Borne and Brian Cox in September 1997. Sawyer and Borne were
violently feuding at the time, and Borne didn't take kindly to Tony
teaming with Bart. In the much anticipated match, Borne expressed his
anger by pressing Tony overhead, and throwing him out of the ring,
over the top rope, and off a stage that the ring was placed on. Tony
fell approximately 17 feet to the floor below. As Tony crawled back
into the ring, Brian Cox did the same thing to him. Tony injured his
wrists, and ribs, but missed only 2 weeks of wrestling.
He received a shot at then PCW Champion Bart Sawyer in Nov.1997 after
beating Chad Manning, Richie Magnett, and winning two battle royals
within two months time. He caught the eye of Rey Misterio Sr. who
signed Tony to a deal with the Pro-Mell Lucha Libre promotion when
they came into Oregon state. Tony ended up teaming with Misterio Sr.
in a bout in Hillsboro, Or. in Feb.1998.
After going solo, in September 1998, Kozina captured the ECCW/NWA-PNW
Jr. Heavyweight title from Torch. Kozina was declared the first
ECCW/NWA-PNW Jr. Heavyweight Champion. He went on to win that title a
total of four times.
Kozina petioned the NWA Board of Directors for a title shot against
then World Champion Logan Caine. After doing internet interviews for
the NWA fanzine, SLAM Canadian wrestling sports website, and several
others, The Tornado traveled to Winnipeg and on June 26th defeated
"Kool Daddy Swing" Tony McGuire, and NWA Canadian Jr. Heavyweight
Champion "Showtime" Robby Royce in a triangle match to capture the NWA
Canadian Jr. Heavyweight title.
Next Kozina headed to Charlotte, North Carolina and was first to the
ring in a 12 man Royal Rumble where the winner would face NWA World
Jr. Heavyweight Champion Logan Caine. Kozina nearly came away with the
win, but was the last wrestler to be eliminated by Twiggy Ramirez, who
went on to win the event with an assist from his manager. Impressed
with his performance and determination, both then-NWA President Howard
Brody, and then-NWA Vice President Bill Behrens agreed to book a
one-on-one match with Kozina and the NWA World Jr. Heavyweight
Champion before the end of the year.
To culminate his NWA World Jr. Heavyweight title chase, Kozina
traveled to Pittsburgh to wrestle for NWA East/PWX. On Jan. 14th, 2000
at the Wrestleplex, The "Tornado" pinned Vince "Big Time" Kaplack
clean in the ring with a roll up into a bridge to capture the NWA
World Jr. Heavyweight title. The two shake hands in a show of mutual
respect as the crowd gives them a standing ovation. It is a title he
will hold twice. The last time being October 2000.
'Tornado' Tony Kozina has wrestled all over the country and the world.
"I intend to come in to NWA Virginia and challenge for the Jr.
Heavyweight Championship. From there, " said the former World
Champion, "I intend to petition the NWA Board until I get the belt
that I deserve. I haven't held it in a couple of years, and my waist
is bare without it. I'll use NWA Virginia as a springboard to bigger
and better opportunities."
Kozina's first opponent is tentatively schedule to be 'High-Flying'
Chris Escobar in Chilhowie. His opponent for March 25th hasn't been
announced yet.
"Regardless of who it is," said the former World Champion, "I will set
them up and knock them down. Wrestling in Virginia will never be the
same again!"
