Billy Corgan Purchases the NWA

[Shisen Kopf]

Why didn't you buy it Big Crippy Z. I'm sure you've got more money that Corgan

It has suffered in recent years, but have history and a lineage like the NWA should put him ahead of lower level competitors. It's a smart move, rather than starting an upstart with no recognition.

I would seriously love it to become something again and provide some sort of watchable alternative.

It's suffered since 1990 bro. 27 years.

"Recent" is obviously meant in context though. Remember you can trace back legit champions to the late 40's.

It's obviously much worse than it once was, but it is something to be built on.

Just had a look and it's not that bad until very recently.

Early 90's is still WCW until 93. Then you have guys like Severn, Shamrock, Ogawa, who were obv legit fighters and Candido, Corino who were good in the ring.

TNA era you still have AJ Styles as a heavy holder, along with ok names like Jarrett, Sting, Christian, Raven.

Into ROH era you have lesser known names, but they are inevitably guys of the standard that Corgan will be trying to pick up, like Adam Pearce, Colt Cabana etc...

Its only very recently that things have gotten very poor. 51 year old current champ Tim Storm probably being the worst.

Sure, there are a few weird ones along the way, but it is definitely salvageable in my opinion. The positives of the lineage and history far outweigh the negatives of recent years

No, I don't have Corgan level money, plus a lot of my wealth is tied up in non-liquid, longer-term investments. Just enough money to live a very comfortable life, help my and my wife's parent's and our sisters and bro-in-laws when they get older, put my nieces and nephews through college, and not have to worry about money for the rest of mine and my wife's lives, and still leave a big chunk for each of our nieces and nephews and some charities once we're dead and gone, if we stay smart with our money and plan for our estates properly.
