Today would have been the birthday of Old School NWA President Dennis Coralluzzo.
Coralluzzo was the president & board member of the National Wrestling Alliance from 1993 till 1999.
Dennis was seen on ECW TV in 1994, where he was interviewed after Shane Douglas threw down the NWA world Heavyweight Championship belt and rejected the title, but some WWF fans might also remember him from appearing on RAW IS WAR in 1998, where he presented the NWA North American Heavyweight Championship, a title that was won by “Double J” Jeff Jarrett a few minutes later.
