David Marquez has announced that he will not be returning to work for the NWA when Power returns next week on FITE TV.

Marquez did not confirm that this is his final exit from the company, but wished current management continued success. He also mentioned how his production protege, director Billy Trask, and how he will excel at the big task ahead of him.
Marquez later noted that he will continue with his 3 weekly United Wrestling Network series, and New Japan Pro Wrestling production out of California.

Yes, the @CWFHollywood team has produced Strong and the "studio" PPVs since their debut. They shoot in our facility too.

Thank you, I'm not on camera on Strong. My company produces the show for NJPW.

Things can't be free and I'm plenty busy with my own promotions. Thx for the note.

I've never closed my doors to anyone in 3 decades, the question is do they want to be. It wasn't my decision to not participate.

I was a VP there for 5 years and have had a Kong standing relationship since the early 2000s. If you watch both shows you'll notice it's the same venue/set. Thanks for the message. pic.twitter.com/qeNIVrRchQ

Things can't be free. Revenue has to be generated someplace.
