  • Billy Corgan’s NWA’s future has been up in the air for sometime now with their future still unknown. Right now they are airing their weekly show on twitter after their deal with CW expired upon WWE NXT going there. The last few weeks they’ve been airing parts of NWA 76 aka their 76th anniversary show, and it’s all been showing is how far this company has fell. Today we’re gonna finish off the remaining episodes and check then out, we watched the first couple parts recently and they weren’t looking too good, so here we go again I guess… like the video and subscribe as we’re discussing the finale of NWA 76…

    The NWA was on the right track a few years ago when Nick Aldis was the champion, but then Billy Corgan's saw fit to start booking stupid angles, nonsense matches and people with little to no talent. The embarrassing nonsense is the reason Nick Aldis left the NWA to begin with. Billy Corgan started listening to the wrong people and ruined the whole thing.

      That's all true but in fairness they had a ton of bad luck too. They were just getting into their stride when covid hit, some of their talent got poached quickly and IIRC one of their execs was exposed in a scandal of something that happened before he joined NWA.

      @@Sammspade10 NWA Power was being taped in a studio with a very small audience, so I don't see how Covid effected them that much. Billy Corgan should have been smart enough and business minded enough to sign his talent to contracts so they couldn't be poached, and there's plenty of people in the wrestling business with more knowledge that would have been a better executive than David Lagana... It all boils down to incompetence, man. The NWA's downward spiral started when they pandered and placated to the absurd cancel cultures ridiculous meltdown over Jim Cornette's 40 year old starvation joke because "Oh god! He said fried chicken, so it has to be about black people!" Incompetent owner, worthless executives and a brainless audience ruined the NWA.

    Once Nick Aldis left over a disagreement with Billy, that was the beginning of the end. Aldis made it clear that Billy didnt care about creating good story lines around the NWA title. Corgan's booking is horrible with a bunch of comical matches and not serious story lines. NOW we know WHY TNA didnt give him booking power and only wanted his money. Looks like TNA turned out to be right. Billy needs to bring in someone to do the booking and bring credibility back to the promotion. He also needs to come back to RUclips and rebuild his audience.

    Billy Corgan is proof that not any run of the mill pro wrestling fan can actually run a pro wrestling company. NWA right before the pandemic was an excellent throwback to classic 80's NWA in studio pro wrestling. The last time I watched NWA was about a year or two ago right before they got their CW deal but they still had shows on RUclips. But that last episode I watched on RUclips was so atrocious I stopped watching after maybe 5 minutes. It's almost as if Billy Corgan forgot what they started out to do in the beginning and he decided to go full Vince Russo. WCW 2000 Russo and not 1998 WWF Russo.

    NWA is frustrating. They evidently have a limited budget per show, but they spend what they have in some strange ways. You can very easily make a solid weekly show out of some of their talent. Corino, Thrillbilly, Latimer and a few others can put on solid matches. The womens division has some solid talent too. Yet pushes and storylines are all over the place.

    • @TheCo-Angle
      @TheCo-Angle 2 месяца назад

      I agree fully here. There’s some talent I enjoy watching as well as finding enjoyment in the old school studio style wrestling show. I try to watch each week’s Power (I think they need to drop the whole “powerrr” part). Very much enjoy ThrillBilly & The Six, Blunt Force Trauma & especially Aron Stevens. Knox & Murdoch are good. And I sort of like the crazy Baron VonStorm angle with The Claw being used by the “deranged old” Storm. Dig The It Girls & Pretty Empowered on the female side. Can’t stand the Gimp BS nor the little person being so heavily involved in big storylines. Will keep pulling for NWA, just wish they could get it going better.

    NWA had potential and I was excited when it first was airing on RUclips (they need to put NWA Power back on there) I just don’t know what happened with this promotion…maybe they need to put a little more money into it, grab up some more established talents and put together a better booking team…a working partnership with TNA or one of the British groups could be beneficial too

Then they have a segment on a ppv of James Mitchell snorting cocaine when they are about to sign a TV deal with CW and that ppv itself apparently did like 250 buys...

I'm talking pre-DPW, Ugly Ducklings days in NC when Steve Corino got signed to talent relations and Colby got the call almost immediately. THAT time being busted for drugs hindered him because he went away for awhile. Then it took about 5 years for WWE to give him a second glance.

    It's weird. Lots of wrestling promotions love to shot themselves into the foot and deserved to be failed. But we also need promotions like this so other wrestlers have a place to compete or shining. If it's all gone, They would have to went to other promotions and became jobber or veteran wrestler would became enchancement talent, Or outshined other young wrestler like we see in WCW, TNA before.

    First HUGE mistake Corgan made was letting Cornette go for a comment absolutely no one was offended by. After that the views on youtube dropped week by week. Corgan has never had the money to throw behind this. Unfortunately in the current climate you need big bucks to launch a pro wrestling company. Corgan didnt have the resources to get a name talent signed. Sorry EC3 is not a name talent.

    This company simply refuses to evolve. They're heavily pushing a slow, plodding style of wrestling like this was the 80's or early 90's WWF.
    Maybe in a different time when wrestling as a whole was kinda slowing down and wasn't as popular, they would find a niche audience that liked their product, but with wrestling being on an upswing and so many alternatives in other forms of entertainment and streaming, the refusal to evolve will be their downfall.
