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. A number of questions remain as the deal closes including what does new ownership mean for the current NWA member promotions and what would this mean for the NWA on Demand Video service. Of course, the biggest question revolves around what exactly Corgan's plans for the National Wrestling Alliance will be. We will have to wait for those answers as attempts by PWInsider.com to reach Corgan for comment have, thus far, been unsuccessful. link to the full article: www.pwinsider.com/article/109356/exclusive-billy-corgan-finalizes-deal-to-purchase.html?p=1 |

The NWA is still around? Just joking. .......In all seriousness, i wonder how Corgan would make that work cause hes not just buying a company, he's buying a territorial system with multiple promotions. He must really love wrestling to still want some involvement in it. If he ends up buying, good luck to him

It'd be a better purchase than TNA but then again buying day old bread would be a better purchase than TNA.

This is much much much worse than being apart of Impact Wrestling.
Impact at least had the sense to leave the NWA.

You mean the little boy from 'Small Wonder' is buying the NWA?

Either way purchasing the NWA is like buying an 83 Ford Pinto. You can say you have something that was popular 30 some odd years ago but is completely irrelevant today. |

I really, really want Corgan to do something good with this. He was doing some very good things with TNA before that airheaded twit ruined it.

If Corgan can do something with this then that's great, the NWA is just letters at this point.

That sounds like the opening to someone's fantasy booking. He's persistent though, I'll give him that.

Great to see he still loves wrestling.
Here's hoping he does something worthwhile with it.

So much indie talent still affiliated with the NWA. His involvement could help them get exposure and maybe a tv deal.

Are the NWA belts exactly the same as what they were in vintage TNA?
