New wrestling promotion set to launch in Nigeria with first show set for July 30

Some cool news coming out of Lagos, Nigeria! A brand new pro wrestling company, Gold Wrestling Association, has announced a date and released a poster for their debut event. The first event, which is being referred to as Explosive Power Tussle, is set for the Meals & Events Centre at 1 Nwachukwu Drive in Lagos. Some familiar Nigerian wrestlers that we have covered here on WrestleMap in the past are set to be featured at GWA’s maiden event. Featured on the poster are Great Mosendo, Eagle De Great Nail, 6.5, Mr. Sharpman, Flying Danko, Super Rosco, Power Vic, Zion Lion, Mighty Progress, Mighty Man, Stylish J, Iron Lady Becky and Strong Bone Erujeje. All of these wrestlers have also competed for the Nigeria Pro Wrestling Federation recently (you can catch some of them on the Exclusive Matches section of WrestleMap) and 6.5 and Eagle De Great Nail have also recently competed for the African Wrestling Organization which is also based in Lagos. You can check out the official poster for the event below.

We’ve been hearing some talk that the GWA would be coming soon and everything we’ve heard has got us excited for what things could look like when the new company launches. We’ll keep you updated with more updates about this big debut on the Nigerian pro wrestling scene as we get closer to July 30th!
