Billy Corgan's NWA is in TROUBLE

NWA just needed to stay on KZbin

[@mikewalters8047]

Agreed and thus they should return to KZbin.

[@JDTStagg88]

@@mikewalters8047 (Wow, this turned into a bit of an essay 😂 You can pretty much get what I’m saying by the first paragraph if you can’t be bothered reading the rest) The problem is, that’s not going to be enough. They were slowly building a fan base when everyone had access to it, but once it was taken away, people obviously stopped watching. The vast majority of those people won’t invest the time all over again to get up to date with the current product, even if it did move, so besides maybe the first couple of shows which people will view more out of curiosity, they are unlikely to invest their time in the product all over again so the numbers the show was getting when it left KZbin will be far more than what it would be if it came back. A wrestling show where you’ve no personal investment in any of the characters or stories isn’t the same, which is why even though for years now, TNA has been putting out a consistently good product, they’ve never been able to get close to the stage where they were in the mid 2000’s viewer wise, and even the excellent shows people watched out of curiosity/nostalgia when certain wrestlers appeared on the show or when it went back to TNA, the quality of the show didn’t equate to continued viewership. It’s the same with AEW at the moment. It’s been putting on really good shows with really good stories for a while, but the boring (at best) patch it hit previously lost so many viewers who aren’t likely to come back anytime soon. The WWE is the one company that can kind of get away with it as they have been around so long, have such a presence and name in the industry that even if they lose viewers (which they absolutely did month after month for many years in the final years of Vince’s reign), they are in the best position to win those viewers back or gain new ones. TNA and AEW had their chances when they were an alternative, lost so much when they tried being ‘WWE lite’ and, despite their improvements, will aways have that stain on the product which will keep many people away. NWA moving back to KZbin would be the equivalent. It’ll always have that stain attached to it and is in the absolute worst position to attract new viewers, so will be heavily reliant on winning old ones back…something which I just can’t see being the case

[@lordrosemount]

That's a smark's answer. I loved it for what it wasd I couldn't care less who was in the audience. What abou Tim Storm? He quickly became my favourite guy in the whole promotion and a man I paid to see wrestle on PPV. In those early days they were great at building draws such as him. Kamille they built as a major draw, too. So what happened? I tend to think it was the departure of Nick Aldis, because I think he was the one supplying the wrestling brain.

Pullling the NWA during the pandemic, which might have been a heyday for exactly the style of studio television wrestling, was the company's first major mistake.

Then they lost Nick Aldis, which was the death-knell, because I'm sure he was really running the book behind the scenes.

I really feel that choice, combined with the pandemic, is the defining moment of decline for the NWA. When he took the TV title, I was willing to go with it. Short matches, show off size, be as slow as you want, you ain't going past 7 minutes. The MOMENT he took the WHC I couldn't bring myself to tune in, and that's terrible. There's SO many talented people on the show, but when your flag bearer, the man charged with showcasing YOUR wrestling promotion, is a no knee havin', sexual harrasin', 12 pack beef frank neck back with extra paddin' who CANNOT WRESTLE EVEN ON HIS BEST DAY....yea, that's a bad move.

It'd be cool if the NWA talent all went to both ROH & NXT. I'd love to see Kenzie Page and Kerry Morton in ROH and Thom Latimer and Blunt Force Trauma on NXT.

Unfortunately the former Bram will NEVER work in WWE again, thanks to his ugly, public breakup with Charlotte Flair.

So what else is new?

[@AllianceLateNight]

There was never a TV deal. It was always a deal to be on the APP. That coke spot at that even had NOTHING to do with anything. Several other wrestling promotions were going for that same deal, ON THE APP. Not for TV.

[@Tbone3471]

They shot any chance they had with that stupid coke spot at the PPV. The promotion really died in 1989. As much I like Aldis, those NWA titles after it split from WCW mean ZERO.

[@avenger1888]

The NWA wrestling promotion should go to Paramount Network and Paramount +

[@deadeyedarwin]

Well they can't just go to a streaming service because they want too, Paramount would have to actually want to air their product...why would they?

[@natekuhl2188]

They also need to get some sponsors to bring in some more cash to the company. If OVW can get them so can NWA.
