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.
Now, imagine if this was 35-40 years ago when the NWA was still one of the big dogs in wrestling. Had you told those people where it would end up I don't think anyone would believe it, even with Vince buying up the territories.
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!
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.
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.
