The NWA will tape TV on Sunday and Monday in Atlanta. Those shows are sold out, to the point that we could not even get a rep for the site into the tapings. If anyone is attending, we are seeking live reports.
The current plan is to do another round of TV and a PPV in January 2020.
Billy Corgan and Dave Lagana were on Sam Roberts' podcast promoting the PPV:
Referee Brian Hebner, who will be one of the guest referees for tonight's main event, was on Sean Mooney's podcast this week with the following NWA-related highlights:
On deciding to join the NWA:
Well, first and foremost is because I believed in what Dave and Billy's vision was, and I stuck by them when there were other things I could have done. I just believed them. I've been good friends with Dave for a long time and Billy for a long time. In all honesty, I had it laid out to me and I thought it sounded kind of weird because I'm not used to that (big arenas), but I believed. And I wasn't gonna take the high road because I didn't believe, and because there were supposedly better chances in a bigger stage, so I decided to stick it out and hang in there and roll with what I am so, so excited about, which is the NWA.
On what makes NWA different:
I so, so, so, so much love the locker room, the wrestling style, the studio feel, the feedback. This is something exciting. This is something different. This is not your everyday wrestling that you're watching three days a week. This is another platform you can have and look at that gives you a true alternative to pro wrestling, that let's you see people act in different ways as far as their platform - as far as being able to do a promo with no script, put on a match without flipping out of the ring and going into the crowd and jumping off the beams across the ceiling. This is a true visual difference that you can see with an alternative. And I'm just so excited about it, man. I really am.
