sek69 Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 Ol' Billy has been teasing a new era for the NWA, and along with announcing they are bringing back the territory system starting with EC3's promotion they also signed a deal wth the CW to carry NWA Power. The CW has new ownership that has been making several deals for sports programming and this seems like a good fit with their plan. NWA gets on network TV and the CW gets more programming to fill their non primetime hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-P Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 So many more people now are gonna be excited about stuff like EC3 vs Thom Latimer for the prestigious NWA title now, how great is that ? The "territory system coming back" announcement was absolutely priceless (yiipee, they are working with... EC3 promotion, whatever that is, they are controlling their narrative that's for sure though). Nick Aldis must be livid he's not there anymore...

Johnny Sorrow Posted October 19, 2023 Report Share Posted October 19, 2023 The CW cancels a bunch of shows with female/ queer followings , like my fav DC's Legends of Tomorrow and are now going with Corgan's NWA which has no following to speak of. Great. I mean, It's a good deal for Corgan, and it's cheap non union programming for CW, but I doubt it'll last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Embrodak Posted October 19, 2023 Report Share Posted October 19, 2023 If WWE passes on Punk in perpetuity, seems likely NWA would try to convince CW to foot the bill to bring him in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the fact that it's the CW? They cant afford Punk. And I say that as someone who watched a lot of CW during the Greg Berlanti DC Arrowverse era. It's a network owned/ associated with some evil media conglomerate. But not one with a lot of money to spend, especially on Billy Corgan's cheap to produce wrestling show. The evil owners might be Sinclair, actually. I can't be bothered to look it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that Women of Wrestling thing lasted on the CW (or so I assume), I think the NWA will too. But this is about the least exciting announcement and destination I could imagine. Better than YouTube and FITE though, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Embrodak Posted October 19, 2023 Report Share Posted October 19, 2023 I wouldn’t underestimate Punk lowering his asking price just out of spite. Honestly, though, I don’t think this will really work. Maybe if they bought out MLW, but otherwise, doesn’t seem like the roster could sustain a weekly TV show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, he'd literally be lowering his asking price to gas money and merch sales. He's rich. If he lost his mind and wanted to "spite work" for peanuts he'd probably go to Impact. Which also isn't going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, I watched all the DCW Arrowverse shows and I never saw it on the schedule or the ap. edit: I just checked. It airs at 1 am on Sundays on the CW here. Maybe Corgan can get the midnight slot to have two hours of wrestling in the worst time slot in history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blehschmidt Posted October 19, 2023 Report Share Posted October 19, 2023 CW must be planning to become the home for undercard sports or something. Apparently they are now also the exclusive network for Nascar's B Division Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-P Posted October 19, 2023 Report Share Posted October 19, 2023 I googled it. Ah ! They signed LIV Golf. Ya know, the bloodmoney sportwashing league. Hilarious. So fitting to host the company that had a Fox News sex pest immobile trashbag as its world champ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobholly138 Posted October 20, 2023 Report Share Posted October 20, 2023 Locally WOW airs at 7pm Saturdays on the MyNetworkTV affilate. Then it airs sometime in the week on VICE too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRH Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 I assume they'll try to get a Thursday night timeslot, which will mean that there will be wrestling on tv 6 days of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerrr's always been Tuesdays so I'd like it to stay there if possible, and they also briefly had a 2nd show NWA USA on Saturday afternoons. This CW Deal is supposed to include a 2nd reality show type as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alucard Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 According to Haus of Wrestling, negative feedback from the recent NWA Samhain PPV featuring Father James Mitchell partying with cocaine has led to a chance that Powerrr might get moved to airing on the CW App instead of their TV channel. Apparently the draw for the 2nd deal for the reality show was that it would include footage of Billy Corgan's wedding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-P Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 That's actually hilarious. Take about taking that "old school rassslin" feel a tad bit too far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-P Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 Quality content right there : The funniest part to me is learning that Corgan actually had entirely paid for the reality TV show. Which is about himself. And his wedding. Yeah, you know, one thing is for sure, none of that stuff would get 5*, even at the Tokyo Dome.

sek69 Posted November 5, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 Even funnier, apparently Billy was the one who was pushing that to be on the PPV and it probably just fucked his new TV deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
