NWA National Promoter Bryan Idol welcomed the promotion on Feb. 22 with William Patrick Corgan, owner and President of the National Wrestling Alliance, issuing a statement in absentia.
“Duke City Championship Wrestling, I’m sorry that I cannot be with you on this historic night,” Corgan states.
“At the NWA, we love great professional wrestling, and we love finding those stars of tomorrow who through the power of their charisma and talent can change the sport,” he continues. “It is my privilege to announce that going forward, Duke City Championship Wrestling will now be an official territory of the National Wrestling Alliance—our seventh regional, in fact—and will host shows henceforth under the newly crowned banner of NWA New Mexico.”
Founded in 2023 by promoter Fred Slow, DCCW quickly became Albuquerque’s premier professional wrestling organization. Providing fans top-tier athletic competition, compelling storylines, and unforgettable moments, a roster of talented and diverse athletes continues to captivate audiences and solidify DCCW’s place in professional wrestling, now as part of the NWA.
“Joining the National Wrestling Alliance as NWA New Mexico is a huge step for Duke City Championship Wrestling,” says Slow. “This partnership allows us to bring the rich tradition of NWA to our passionate fans while continuing to grow professional wrestling in New Mexico. Together, we’ll showcase the incredible talent and energy that defines DCCW and the NWA.”

New Mexico leaders push funding to fight screwworm after 1 local case
New Mexico leaders are backing a bipartisan bill after 12 confirmed U.S. screwworm cases, including one case in a Lea County dog.
SANTA FE, N.M. – New Mexico leaders are backing a bipartisan bill after 12 confirmed U.S. screwworm cases, including one case in a Lea County dog.
New Mexico State Veterinarian Dr. Samantha Holeck said the parasite has spread to New Mexico, though officials say they have not found any human cases.
“This is also not a political issue this is a nationwide issue that we all need to address because it affects all warm blooded animals including humans,” Holeck said.
U.S. Reps. Gabe Vasquez and Teresa Leger Fernandez support the Protect America’s Herds Act.
The bill would create a grant program to train people to identify, treat, prevent and report screwworm. It would also support more livestock inspections and education for ranchers.
Rep. Teresa Leger Fernandez said she heard concerns from tribal leaders about the cost of protecting cattle herds.
“I spoke with one of our tribal leaders today and they have cattle operation and they’re worried, and they’re talking about how much more money they’re having to pay to go make sure they check on their herds and there are extra costs,” Leger Fernandez said.
Funding would prioritize states and tribal communities most at risk for screwworm outbreaks.
State health officials said screwworm is not a food safety issue. They also said ranchers should stay alert but not alarmed.
