Bryan Idol Talks Defending the World TV Championship at NWA 77 - Interview

The National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) celebrates its 77th anniversary with the major event, NWA 77, live from The Paramount in Huntington, NY, on Saturday, August 16, 2025. With over seven decades of history behind it and a renewed focus on national exposure, the NWA continues to grow its reach through live events, an expanding territory system, and its new Roku 24-Hour Channel, bringing nonstop NWA content to fans around the world.

One of the night's most anticipated matchups features NWA World Television Champion Bryan Idol defending his title against Joe Ocasio, a rising contender and New York native. Idol, known as “The Looks That Kill,” has been one of the most active champions in the promotion, traveling across the territory system and representing the title on a global stage. No easy feat for the someone who is also the national promoter as well. His presence and consistency have helped redefine the Television Championship’s importance in today’s NWA.

I spoke with Idol ahead of NWA 77, and while his focus is firmly on Ocasio, he’s clearly keeping an eye on the night’s main event—NWA World’s Heavyweight Champion Thom Latimer defending against Thrillbilly Silas Mason. Idol’s ambitions don’t stop at the Television Title, and with the World Championship match closing the show, the implications for NWA’s championship landscape are significant.

As the NWA honors its legacy and pushes toward the future, NWA 77 promises to be more than just a celebration it’s a pivotal chapter in the company’s evolution.
