Shockwave gets a new home

In a move that sent “shockwaves” across the Garden State, it was announced that NWA Shockwave has signed an exclusive contract with the American Legion Hall Chapter 351, 1400 Bay Boulevard, in Seaside Heights, to begin presenting shows down on the Jersey shore this summer.

With the first three shows scheduled for June 30, July 28 and September 15 in an area that typically gets saturated with tens of thousands of beachgoers annually, NWA Shockwave is preparing for its inaugural “Beach Blanket Bodyslam” event. Details of these events are forthcoming.

"Our participation in the April 28 TV taping in Clifton and the start of regular shows down on the Jersey shore this summer marks an exciting time for us," said Shockwave co-founder Daisy Wei-Hawkins. "We are so pleased to be able to continue with my late husband's dream of bringing quality pro wrestling to the greatest fans in the world."
