I don't believe any comment has been made by the NWA on Cardona's status yet but surely he can't compete

Yeah they tape Power like 8 years in advance so I didn't read much into that, if they don't have any update before the PPV then that's a terrible look since his name is all over it lol I guess not as big as normal since they have the subscription thing now and I can't fathom why anyone would buy an NWA PPV for $20 separately when even if you wanted to watch it you could pay $5 for a monthly subscription instead and just cancel

 

[Canadian Dragon]

such a strange business model

 

[Chris]

That Homicide/Corino match ruled btw, probs shoulda been saved for PPV unless they outsource some other junior heavyweight to challenge

 

[Chris]

such a strange business model

Impact kinda does something similar where they have the Plus specials on Fite separately for like $10 which is more than a monthly subscription of Plus I've never understood

 

[Chris]

I guess if it costs nothing extra to put it up on Fite in those situations it's just free money if someone happens to click buy

 

[Canadian Dragon]

suppose that's true. At people watch Impact I guess

 

[Chris]

Also similar to how people were still buying full price WWE PPVs for 6 months worth of WWE Network prices I guess lol slightly different cause some people had shit internet but still had cable PPV at that time....literally the same stream with Fite tho I'd actually be very curious on how many people buy the full priced ones

"Doctor is suggesting surgery, which I will be getting on Tuesday but there is no way I'm not coming to a pay-per-view named after me," Cardona said on the show. "I will be there. I don't know what exactly is going to happen, I don't know what exactly is going to go down. I'm going to be there, I'll have the Ten Pounds of Gold with me and that's really Billy's [Corgan] decision what he wants to do." "Trust me, part of me wanted to just tape it up and work through it but I want to be doing this for a long, long time so it's probably better that I get it taken care of right now." Cardona continued to say he's not sure what role he will play on the show but is certain that he will be there. "I will be there, I don't care if I have to drive, walk, crawl, fly, I will be there. What I'll be doing? I'm not sure but the champ will be in the building," he said.

So Cardona will still be there lol they can actually work some more heat out of this tbh, PPV suffers cause they weren't offering a lot more but it's just an NWA PPV anyway lmao
