Wow...VERY ironic that we would be talking about this sort of thing, because my stepbro is in a local wrestling promotion here in my area as a referee, but he wants to be a wrestler and was training as one. I think it's associated with the NWA in some way, even though, according to him, it's not the same NWA that the WCW or TNA was under for some time (he said there were several different NWAs or something like that, I can't remember the exact way he described it).
Anyway, he did a few matches as a masked wrestler (the owner has this mindset in which referees turned wrestlers wouldn't be taken seriously or something like that), but not sure what they are doing with that right now beyond those matches. He still works as a ref (they need him right now seeing as they only got two refs, him and this other weird dude that calls counts a pinfall on one knee as if he's proposing as he slaps the mat).
If he ends up getting into larger promotions somehow, I'll be sure that will be a looming question for him at least.
