If you're potentially selling the NWA to any of them, your best bet might be the Wilfs.

 

[Hoss]

I do tend to like to go with sports teams owners and the sort for my fictional owners, but at the same time, NWA is such a low value commodity, I don't think a fucking billionaire would care for it

 

[Kross Rhodes]

NWA isn’t really a company. It’s more of a historical name brand with great ip and history.

If you’re looking to start a brand new company from the ground up anyway, buying the NWA name is worth it.

If Tony had bought NWA and put it on TNT, Magic.

 

[Bobby Barrows]

You know who might buy NWA?

 

[Hoss]

Well keep in mind I just hatched this idea in the last 15 minutes but all I wanna really do is give NWA a new owner, a new homebase, and like 50% new wrestlers

 

[Hoss]

Maybe throw some mats around the ring so that wrestlers can do bumps on the floor

 

[Bobby Barrows]

David Tepper, owner of the Carolina Panthers.

 

[Hoss]

I'm interested. What makes you say that, though?

Most of the NWA contracts are expiring so this is actually pretty realistic. Any reason you don’t want Billy?

 

[Hoss]

Not really. I just think with Billy, I'd kind of be boxed into the super traditional/throwback style that is his brainchild. I'd like to go more modern with things, while keeping some of those traditional sensibilities (IE studio setting, interviews at a podium, story driven shows)

 

[Hoss]

Of course I don't HAVE to adhere to that stuff, I just feel like a new owner makes it easier for me to rationalize in my own mind.

I haven’t seen much of Power, but what specifically turns you off?

 

[Bobby Barrows]

Well, he's 63, first off, despite being born in Pittsburgh, and he's an investor secondly. As owner of the Carolina Panthers and Charlotte FC, he has a base in Charlotte, North Carolina, a historically important area for the NWA.

 

[Bobby Barrows]

Lmfao, go with Stan Kroenke so he can get the rivalry with Vince McMahon over the Denver Nuggets debacle up.

 

[Hoss]

A big part of it is characters like The Question Mark, and wrestlers like CW Anderson and The Wildcards who I just don't see spending time on
