There are new details about Billy Corgan’s purchase of the NWA. PWInsider is reporting that Billy Corgan has purchased the NWA from Bruce Tharpe who owned it for roughly five years. The purchase will include name, rights, trademarks to the NWA as well as the rights and possession of the NWA championship belt. It will also include Tharpe’s position in the NWA on Demand VOD service and the Paul Boesch wrestling library.
The actual ownership of the library remains with the Boesch family, as it had while Tharpe was utilizing it, but now Corgan would have the same rights and responsibilities that formerly applied to Tharpe.
PWInsider also included that Tharpe’s position with the company is still being decided and that there are long term plans in the works so to not expect to see big changes immediately.
