The National Wrestling Alliance sent out the following:

The NWA regretfully announces the departure of NWA Coastal as an affiliate after a difference of opinion regarding the direction of the company. Although we hate to see the departure of licensees, sometimes it is necessary when people do not adhere to the same business plan.

The departure of NWA Coastal and the promotion in Florida is just another illustration of how the new NWA is stripping itself of old politics that has plagued the company for more than the past ten years. Growing pains are sometimes difficult but we welcome the departure of those who are not team players.

With the departure of two licensees the NWA will soon be announcing new licensees who will be moving forward with the company. The NWA is looking forward to a spectacular 2013 and wishes Phil Varlese and the company the best in their future endeavors.
