Update On NWA's Future (Patreon)
Content
As 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.
