In a recent interview on the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Billy Corgan, renowned for his involvement in the wrestling world, shared insights about the NWA’s plan to broadcast Powerrr on The CW App, and the growing significance of wrestling on digital platforms.
Here is a summary of the key takeaways from the podcast:
Corgan on NWA Powerrr broadcasting via The CW App: “The international reach presents challenges but we are actively crafting a solution. I have recently enlisted the services of a new TV agent and our goal is to have Powerrr debut as first-run TV on international channels. Despite some skepticism, statistics show that the CW app actually amasses more viewers than its broadcast counterpart.”
Commenting on the increasing importance of streaming platforms for wrestling, Corgan stated: “It’s evident to all, wrestling is transitioning fully into the digital realm. Wrestling is evolving into a round-the-clock enterprise.”
Adding to the wrestling news, New Japan Pro Wrestling shared a collection of cinematic highlights from the NJPW ‘Windy City Riot’ event held last month. Fans can access these highlights online.
To top it all, a complete video of last Friday’s Legends of Wrestling reunion is now available for fans to watch. This star-studded event was a tribute to Jerry Lawler, a WWE Hall of Famer.
