NWA Mid-America Champ Jeremiah Plunkett Heads to TV Tapings Feb. 2 in Tampa
Jeremiah Plunkett spent 20 years waiting for his moment.
His time finally came on June 2, 2024. At the National Wrestling Allianceโs Back to the Territories event, the celebrated journeyman captured the revived NWA Mid-America title.
Held by greats across generations, Plunkett has significant shoes to fill. As Mid-America champion, he joins the ranks of โMacho Manโ Randy Savage, Harley Race, Jackie Fargo, Jeff Jarrett, and many more.
Plunkett is determined to live up to the titleโs legacy. For nearly seven months, he has traveled NWA territories defending the strap.
โAs the first wrestler to hold this belt in 35 years, I take my job of putting this title back on the map very seriously,โ Plunkett said of the championship, which has lain dormant since Jerry โThe Kingโ Lawler retired it in 1988.
โUntil that time, the Mid-America title was the crown jewel of the National Wrestling Allianceโs legendary territory system,โ Plunkett said. โThe NWA today has a reinvigorated territory system filled with the brightest young stars in wrestling, and Iโm ready to face them all!โ
Plunkettโs defenses include victories over NWA-Kross Fire Wrestlingโs Hunter Drake, NWA-World League Wrestlingโs Leland Race (son of NWA legend Harley Race), and more. He most recently retained his title against Pro Wrestling Revengeโs Colby Carter on January 9, 2025.
The Mid-America champion is slated to appear at the February 2 NWA Powerrr tapings in Florida. Filmed in front of a television audience, the live event will emanate from Tampaโs WEDU PBS Studios.
โI canโt wait to take this Mid-America championship to Tampa,โ Plunkett says. โItโs the easiest way to let everyone watching NWA Powerrr around the world see just how important this belt is to me โ and exactly how far Iโll go to hold onto it!โ
