That opportunity will come on April 23rd at the highly anticipated "NWA Subtle Hustle" Mega Show in Jacksonville, FL.
The Sheik's seemingly never ending quest for an NWA Worlds Heavyweight Title Match dates back to October 2009, when he was 1st granted, and then summarily denied, a title match against then champion, Blue Demon, Jr. At that time, Demon refused to defend the title, hiding behind insults that claimed, "The Sheik is not worthy of a title shot" and asking "Who is The Sheik?""What has he done?", and "Where is his resume?"
"The Sheik" answered with a full on assault on the NWA, claiming the NWA Florida, NWA MidWest, & NWA North American Heavyweight Titles by January 31, 2010. He would go on to hold and defend all three titles throughout the year, all the while demanding the NWA Worlds Title Match he had already earned. These demands, however, fell on deaf ears as Blue Demon, Jr. and then his successor "Scrap Iron" Adam Pearce continued to refuse a title match to "The Sheik".

The ultimate insult materialized last August at the 2010 NWA Legends FanFest in Charlotte, NC, where despite his record and his status as the NWA North American Heavyweight Champion, "The Sheik" was left off of the match schedule, and was not even invited to attend. Worse yet was the fact that NWA National Heavyweight Champion, "Universal Soldier" Phil Shatter, was granted yet another title match at the show, and finally the revelation that it had been NWA Executive Director, Bob Trobich, who had been blocking "The Sheiks" title match all along.
"The Sheik" showed up anyway, and made his presence felt and his intentions clear by violently attacking Pearce with a steel chair and knocking the champion out cold for 10 minutes on his way to the ring. Once Pearce came too and decided to defend the title anyway, "The Sheik" stormed the ring attacking both Pearce and Shatter, who retaliated in unison driving "The Middle Eastern Madman" from the ring.
"The Sheik next showed up for the NWA Hollywood TV Tapings to challenge the Champion, Pearce, on his home turf, only to be banned from TV a few weeks later. Meanwhile Shatter, feeling cheated in Charlotte, challenged "The Sheik" to an NWA North American Title Match at NWA November Coming Fire in Fort Pierce, FL, and Bob Trobich showed his biased once more by granting Shatters request for a NO DQ stipulation to be added to the match.
"The Sheik" decimated Shatter in what can only be called a mugging in which "The Sheik" attacked Shatter with a Steel Chair as he made his way to the ring, forced him to pass out in the grips of the dreaded "Camel Clutch", then poured gasoline on his unconscious body in a sadistic attempt to set Shatter on fire!
This still did not get "The Sheik" the only thing he wanted... An NWA Worlds Heavyweight Title Match.
Instead Bob Trobich and the NWA Board of Directors setup a back to back war to be waged in NWA MidWest pitting "The Sheik" against Shatter 2 nights in a row, with an added stipulation stating that "The Sheik MUST win both matches against Shatter in order to maintain his #1 Contendership and re-earn the right to an NWA World Heavyweight Title Match No Later Than May 1, 2011". "The Sheik" won both matches and has now submitted his resume ....
NOW ON APRIL 23RD "THE SHEIK" WILL FINALLY HAVE HIS NWA WORLDS HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH, but it won't be against Blue Demon, Jr. or "Scrap Iron" Adam Pearce. They have both escaped his Wrath. Instead "The Sheik" will turn his hatred against the newly crowned, Colt "Boom Boom" Cabana, and while "The Sheik" has no personal issues with Cabana, he'll unleash 18 months of unanswered frustration and hell on the new champion, in his quest to fulfill his self proclaimed "Destiny" of becoming the NWA WORLDS HEAVYWEIGHT WRESTLING CHAMPION.
Also on hand The Dark City Fight Club will defend the NWA World Tag Team Titles against The Briscoe Bros. and Craig Classic defends the NWA World's Junior Heavyweight Title against Lince Dorado.
