A new TV deal for the NWA.
In addition to weekly episodes of NWA Powerrr, joining the organization’s portfolio on The CW App is the ‘Adventures in Carnyland’ reality series which takes a look at the life of NWA owner Billy Corgan.
As he was making the media rounds to promote the show, Corgan talked to TV Insider and told the outlet that he signed another television deal for NWA.
I just signed another TV deal, which I haven’t announced yet. I saw someone in wrestling media wave off the NWA’s success, but I don’t know a lot of companies out there that have three television deals as an independent solely funded by me. We’re really fighting a lot of wars here, not only to create a wrestling product that fans will like but also to beat the world’s perception that it can’t be done. That unless you have a billion dollars in your pocket, you can’t manifest enough energy. But what people don’t understand is I’m one of the only people in the world who understands how to take something literally from nothing and take it to the top of the mountain multiple times. I know it can be done with faith, dedication, and hard work. It will be interesting to see the behind-the-scenes stuff going on, which by the way is not work, but true and honest stuff that is happening. I insisted on real and organic storylines. It will be interesting to see if people perceive that as integrity or weakness on the part of the company. I think it’s a strength because we have nothing to hide.
In June, NWA is running their ‘Back to the Territories’ event in Knoxville, Tennessee and it is there that they’ll be crowning the first NWA Mid-America Champion since 1987.
