Yesterday, the pro wrestling world was thrown a curveball when it was announced that WWE NXT will move to The CW in October 2024. The announcement was all the more surprising because The NWA, owned by Billy Corgan, recently signed a pair of deals with the top twenty network. The deals were to see NW
ahem lmao
Do make sure to read the whole article..the lunacy just goes on.
They One WWE source went on to say, “No segment ever done in wrestling has had that severe of consequences to the promotion than the Samhain Coke Spot.”
I love how Billy basically put the stick through his own spokes again. The man loves to snatch failure from the jaws of victory.
I only ever watch once or twice a year when it pops up on YouTube and I’m looking for background noise, so I’m not sure which talents would be considered the young ones Billy wants on contracts. But that part stuck out to me cause there’s actual logic to his decision. Then again, Tyrus as champ.
This is utterly insane. I had absolutely no idea that Billy Corgan, who I only knew as the lead singer of The Smashing Pumpkins, had anything to do with professional wrestling.
I had to check Wikipedia, because at first I thought they were just two similar-looking guys who coincidentally have the same name. This is incredibly weird… and I haven’t even read the article yet!
This was sad, I don't know how trustworthy this website is, I'm not a frequent flyer there, but it really paints a bleak picture of the NWA's future.
After reading all this and with it looking more and more likely that The CW withdrew its offer from the NWA, I don't see how they are going get another shot at a decent US network.
