http://pwinsider.com/article/109356/exclusive-billy-corgan-finalizes-deal-to-purchase.html?p=1PWI Insider posted:Smashing Pumpkins front man and former TNA Wrestling President Billy Corgan has agreed in principle to purchase the National Wrestling Alliance, PWInsider.com has confirmed with multiple sources. The deal in place would see Corgan purchase the name, rights, trademarks to the NWA as well as the rights and possession of the NWA championship belt. I don't even. Speculate all the dumb things this could lead to here, up to and including a war between NWA and TNA, or Corgan purchasing TNA and a return to NWA:TNA. Nothing is off limits anymore.

There's a bunch of TX promotions that are loyal to Tharpe. I'm not sure how this is going to play out.

Somebody should tell Corgan that it would be easier and faster to just set a pile of money on fire.DoctorGonzo posted:I have faith that the man who got owned by Dixie Carter will succeed Well, Corgan did get all his money back, which is more than I can say for anyone else involved. grack fucked around with this message at 18:19 on May 1, 2017 |

Jarret is going to con Billy into a NWA-GFW feud. GFW will win.

Buying the NWA today is like buying Bob's Big Boy: it was huge in the medium years ago, but basically operates as a franchise company for the for remaining franchisees I can't wait to hear about Billy jacking up the licensing fees in order to launch a national TV product that undermines the entire association. If I owned a NWA franchise in 2017, I would start rebranding about twenty minutes ago Sigma fucked around with this message at 20:03 on May 1, 2017 |

the NWA model only works if you have a touring group of proven draws under contact. Billy's gonna throw all his money on guys he likes that won't do poo poo for gates.

Just noticed that NWA's current champion is a 51 year old guy named Tim Storm with a killer roid gut. Now that's what I want out of my territory champ.

EdsTeioh posted:So, what WAS the deal with Colt vacating the NWA title? This was pre-Tharpe. Colt and Pearce were doing a best of 7 with the title using NWA Hollywood's TV spot as the setting for the feud. Bob Trobich didn't like that and made lovely demands. Colt and Pearce both said gently caress it, so 2nd Hand Sheik ended up with the belt after putting down a cash deposit on it.

I almost wonder if several major Indies could ever work together in a territory system again or if the internet has killed that.

I think the same poo poo would happen again with promoters egos getting involved and everyone looking out for themselves to the detriment of the overall business. I give it a year unit Corgan sells the whole shebang to the WWE.
