10 Biggest Stories From NWA 70 (And What They Mean For The Company's Future)

10. Technical Issues Plague The Broadcast Early On

While Billy Corgan's reimagining of the NWA has been lauded for its unique and expertly-crafted YouTube series “Ten Pounds of Gold”, Sunday’s pay-per-view was hampered with technical errors from the get-go. Crowd noise and chatter from the announcers drowned out video packages and backstage promos, leaving viewers uneasy about the re-debut.

Thankfully, however, the night's errors became far less frequent as the show went on - and nearly non-existent by the final hour. While the event was co-produced by Jeff Jarrett’s Global Force Entertainment, it's unclear who exactly should shoulder the blame.

On Monday, NWA President Billy Corgan took to Instagram to comment on the issues. "We fell short on providing a televised event up to the standard that I would consider acceptable," he stated before continuing on with, "I was painfully reminded of how hard this journey is, and we have much work to do before we'd run another such live event."

Despite the problems, many fans showed overwhelming support on social media, with some even lauding NWA 70 as one of the greatest events of the year.

Still, it seems Corgan is now reluctant to jump headlong into another production following Sunday's issues.
