Corgan’s purchase of the NWA is somewhat nebulous, since contrary to the common perception of some fans, the NWA was itself not a wrestling promotion, but instead an alliance of a vast collection of disparate different promotions over the years. The news came via a Facebook post from Bruce Tharpe, the current president of the NWA and someone who seems highly optimistic about Corgan’s purchase of the brand: How much Corgan paid for rights to the NWA brand components doesn’t appear to be known, nor does anyone seem to know what Corgan plans to do with his new acquisition, but his choices are expansive, and he could use the NWA title and iconography to create his own new wrestling promotion if he wanted. Wrestling fans will have a while to wait to find out how it all turns out, though – fortunately, they’re used to that.
