If Tim Storm loses to Jocephus, I might stick around for the Aldis/Jocephus title match.

My necromancer informs me that Lou Thesz is currently fighting his way out of hell to kick the poo poo out of Billy Corgan.

So Billy acquired the NWA name, license, whatever in May.
So 8 months later this is what he has to show for it?
I know I keep reiterating the the same point but I can't process it. I just can't.
You can't be a wrestling company with 3 workers. 3 workers is the bare minimum for a stable.
This poo poo is making Beau James look like a competent owner.
How do you fail to jump the lofty bar set up by NWA Mountain State?
Please stop it Billy. Please seek help. Please renounce Alex Jones while you're at it.

to be fair, it's not as if the NWA has meant poo poo for the last 30 years before Billy bought it

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I actually think there's probably some good thought in the fact that Corrigan didn't just try to create a promotion out of nothing and waste a ton of money like so many failed promotors before him.

But by starting the clock with the Tim Storm stuff he probably created a short window where people will keep paying attention to NWA and giving them a chance to become something more than a couple of guys on Youtube. I keep saying it but he needs a next Phase for this and there doesn't seem to be one.

Corgan started Resistance Pro and ran like 4-5 shows before walking away.

Well, maybe he learned from his mistakes.

Maybe he'll get it right on his fifth or sixth promotion.

God I miss MSW. That's the closest I've ever come to being in the business (and the closest I ever will) and that was such a fun time in this subforum. I'd go so far as to say the last genuinely beloved community-wide thing, tbh.

I think you can make a case for either or both parties being desperate. I legit don't know if the empty arena thing is a dig or not.

I know Anthem doesn't sell many tickets, but calling it an Empty Arena Match is a bit much.

IMPACT still owes Billy money and a favour or two is how it has been explained to me. NWA is cashing in on that pretty much.

It is NOT an interpromotional relationship.

Oh hey combine that with NWA and they'll be able to have two matches at the same show.
I mean one of them will involve Jeff Jarrett but maybe he'll look decent compared to the other 3.

TNA started using GFW branding before completing the purchase of the GFW trademarks so when Jarrett was forced out they sent his branding with him.

The quasi-TNA or TNA-adjacent promotions are:

Impact
GFW (whatever that is)
The Crash
Arolucha
NWA I guess
AAA and NOAH sort of
A smattering of random indies where they tape sometimes

I suspect that Jeremy Borash might be working with them in some (not official) capacity. He was at their first show and, very unusually, wasn't at the Impact tapings the night that Arolucha ran against them this week.
