Again, I have to mention how happy I am that it is Corgan doing this and not someone else. I remember back when I was younger that he was a huge fan of Windy City Wrestling, like me. And he definitely comes across as a lifer.
This could be do or die for the NWA though. By making it a self contained promotion, if it fails, then that could just be the end of it. Fortunately, Corgan has the money that he wouldn't have to feel like he has to sell to Vince f it fails.
I don't mean to talk about the NWA just in failing context, though. There's a big divide in perception of the NWA. Many people like me see it as an important historical belt and concept and would like it to continue and be great again. Others see it as a dead "promotion," and I think many of those people don't understand that it never was a promotion. Its perception is mixed with WCW to a degree, with too many people wrongfully thinking that the "NWA became the WCW" and then failed. I hope that Corgan's influence will help bring some status back in the eyes of the people who see it negatively.
I will miss watching the various NWA territories and seeing them as such. Yeah, I know the promotions previously under the NWA banner still exist on their own. I will still watch them too. But really, I wish that Corgan would continue the territory aspect along with having one major promotion, much like Jim Crockett did in the 80s.
Eh, I am all over the place, I know. I am just really, really excited about this. I am very glad now that Corgan didn't get involved too much in the TNA trainwreck at the end. I think this is much better for him and for wrestling.
