Update On NWA's Future
Added 2020-07-16 17:00:00 +0000 UTCAs of right now, NWA has no firm plans moving forward. The presentation was largely the vision of former VP Dave Lagana, and with him out, there isn't much direction. Fightful has learned that NWA World's Heavyweight Champion Nick Aldis was considered for a VP spot, but doesn't have the same skill set that Lagana presented.
Most of the roster members we've spoken with are very fond of Billy Corgan, and says he treats people with respect, but mentioned he wasn't very active in the company of late. He was particularly a proponent of the aforementioned Zicky Dice, and wanted Ricky Starks to chase Dice for the TV Title as a primary program.
The NWA roster by and large found out about Lagana leaving the company when everyone else did. Prior to that, there were weekly zoom meetings with about a dozen people to talk about the direction of Carnyland, which is now canned for the time being. Talent were told via e-mail that if they don't believe in the vision of the NWA moving forward, they're free to leave. A non-disparagement clause is included in the language of the deals.

This is a big bummer. I think Power was very entertaining, with some awesome storylines. I hope the NWA can get back on track.

2020-07-16 21:58:55 +0000 UTCWhat he did address was what Raven said....though he did provide nothing else.
2020-07-16 21:52:23 +0000 UTCI read the same tweet from Billy Corgan, but as it was stated in this report, " As of right now, NWA has no firm plans moving forward". This is so far true, despite the warmth of an idea that he'll do something eventually with it.

2020-07-16 21:22:58 +0000 UTCBilly Corgan came out earlier and said they aren't going anywhere and will be back
2020-07-16 21:07:02 +0000 UTCit's a real shame no one else is able to continue lagana's vision. It was nice having a product that's different from everyone else's.
