NIWA Clash of the Titans is biggest event of the year for the National Internet Wrestling Alliance. It is comparable to World Wrestling Entertainment's WrestleMania and Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling's Bound For Glory.
History[]
2000s[]
The inaugural event was held on April 29, 2009 at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec. This event featured a total of nine matches. With the four title matches on the event, three of the four titles switched hands with Xena, Warrior Princess becoming the new NIWA World Women's Champion, Blitz became the new NIWA World Junior Heavyweight Champion, and Chuck Norris became the new NIWA World Heavyweight Champion. The Warios retained the NIWA World Tag Team Championship.
The NIWA would follow the mold of many promotions and have their own Money in the Bank match. Instead of having a normal Money in the Bank match, they decided to call it a Money in the Bank Dragon match in which the ring ropes were removed and barbwire was used as the ropes instead.
