10 Biggest Stories From NWA 70 (And What They Mean For The Company's Future)

7. Jocephus' Surprise Team Falls To Animal’s War Kings

The uniquely strange Jocephus had answered the open challenge of Jax Dane and Crimson in the lead-up to NWA 70.

The War Kings, with Road Warrior Animal in their corner, seemed to have the clear advantage on Sunday when it was previously revealed that Jocephus’ team would consist of his nameless “Spiritual Advisor” and Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling legend, Hollywood.

However, the inter-gender bout didn’t take place; the devious Jocephus revealed it was all a ruse when the War Kings were attacked from behind by former TNA wrestler Crazzy Steve and former WWE star Shannon Moore. The two men relentlessly pummelled their larger opponents following the sneak attack but were quickly overpowered when Dane hoisted them both onto his shoulders for a Samoan drop. The War Kings then hit their Ground Zero finisher to capture the quick and decisive win in an impressive showcase for the team.

Surely, Jocephus will not be happy with the efforts of his surprise duo, but what he has planned next is a total mystery - probably even to himself. Meanwhile, The War Kings surely have to be considered the top contenders for the NWA World Tag Team titles upon their inevitable revival.
