-- As noted before, Jerry Lawler will team with Dory Funk Jr. and Colby Weston at Funk's !BANG! TV tapings on September 10th in Ocala, Florida. Lawler will also special referee a match with Hollywood Heather vs. Claudia Reiff.

-- NWA Hollywood has issued the following press release about the promotion changing its timeslot:

Hollywood/Santa Ana, CA (September 5, 2011) – Starting Saturday, September 17th, NWA Championship Wrestling from Hollywood on KDOC Los Angeles will be moving from 11:00PM to earlier in the afternoon at 4:00!

"I'm very happy with this move because it allows us a great lead in with SEC College Sports (football or basketball depending on the season), more hours to promote our Sunday events and will allow younger fans to watch us because we'll be on earlier," said Executive Producer, David Marquez.
