…As Haus of Wrestling reported, the NWA, owned by Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan, recently signed a pair of deals with The CW. The deals will see the NWA bring their weekly Powerrr show and a new reality TV series to the top twenty channel. However, we have learned that the recent cocaine spot upset higher-ups at The CW. We were also told that the cocaine spot was Corgan’s idea, and he pushed for it to be on the pay-per-view.
As it stands, Haus of Wrestling is told that there is an active push by those higher-up at The CW to have the NWA’s content air solely on their The CW app and not on their actual television airwaves. Apparently, when negotiations were going on to bring the NWA to The CW, Corgan was told that the network would not be watching the PPVs and would only be concerned with what happened on the TV show airing on their platform.
That changed following the cocaine spot, as The CW, which fans knew would be the new home for the NWA, was flooded with social media comments. Haus of Wrestling was told there is now a 90% chance that the NWA reality show and Powerrr will air on The CW app and not on TV…
And apparently assumed no one else would, either.

Legit my sole reason for even wanting to watch it (which would 100% been via port-o-call later cause I was sure as shit not gonna pay for it) was because I was 97% sure they would not pronounce Samhain correctly and I wanted to laugh my sack off if they fucked it up.
Then I was lucky enough to see the coke clip above which answered my question and had no further desire to actually watch the show!
To be fair, that’s a pretty good asumption ;-)
