The last major NWA event in Philadelphia was in 1998.

In 2023, NWA owner Billy Corgan said in an interview that he’d like to see an NWA event in Philadelphia at some point:

“I don’t think we’re anything like ECW. But what I do know about Philly fans is they like wrestling with real physicality. And the NWA is at its most physical right now in 2023, probably since it’s been — I guess you could argue since the Crockett Times. So I think the Philly audience in particular would really appreciate the NWA style.”

Here’s a video from February of EC3 defending the NWA World Heavyweight Championship against Jack Vaughn at an event in Wisconsin.
