This clarification follows reports of a withdrawn TV deal after the NWA's controversial portrayal of drug use in a recent pay-per-view event.

In response to the swirling speculations, Corgan emphasized the NWA's strong financial position. "The financial health is fine," he affirmed, noting his sole ownership and self-reliance in financial decisions. Corgan highlighted his successful musical career, including a massive 2023 summer tour and upcoming tours in 2024, underscoring his financial autonomy.

Corgan Debunks Cost Cut Rumors

Addressing the rumors of production cost cutbacks, Corgan dismissed these claims as baseless.

He explained the intricacies of production costs, citing the live-to-tape event in Sarasota, Florida, as an example of higher expenditure compared to studio productions. Contrary to reports, 2023 has marked the NWA's most expensive year under Lightning One, a testament to its commitment to high-quality wrestling and production values.

This investment, Corgan believes, is pivotal for securing future TV deals. Moreover, in regards to the rumored roster cuts, Corgan assured that no such plans are in place. He emphasized the value placed on each member of the NWA team, whether under contract or not.

The NWA's reinstatement of the territorial system aims to keep key talents active within the NWA ecosystem, even if they are not part of a particular TV taping cycle. Corgan's commitment to his team extends beyond contractual obligations, as he invests in storylines and character development for each wrestler.

As the NWA navigates these challenges, Corgan's leadership and financial stewardship continue to steer the organization towards growth and stability. His clear refutation of these rumors not only reassures fans and stakeholders of the NWA's health but also underscores the resilience and adaptability of the wrestling world in the face of adversity and change.
