Billy Corgan Made A Lot of Money With Tyrus as NWA Champ

Billy Corgan once again explains why he decided to give Tyrus a world title run in the NWA. In a recent interview with The Wrestling Perspective podcast, Corgan delved into his past experiences with difficult talents in TNA, including Tyrus and Nick Aldis.

Corgan shared that during his time at TNA, he was often given the task of working with personalities that others found challenging, such as Tyrus and Aldis. He formed relationships with these talents to understand why they felt underutilized and what was causing conflicts with the office. Despite varying degrees of success, Corgan was able to navigate these challenges during his time at TNA.

Reflecting on his relationship with Tyrus, Corgan revealed that he remained close with the former world champion and always believed that Tyrus was not being utilized to his full potential in TNA. He expressed that the world title run Tyrus had in the NWA was the run he deserved all along.

When Tyrus expressed interest in returning to professional wrestling after a hiatus, he reached out to Corgan for advice. Corgan recalled a conversation they had eight years ago at Universal Studios, where he had told Tyrus that he believed he was not being used effectively. The character development and success Tyrus achieved in the NWA were a result of the discussions they had years ago. Corgan emphasized that he is not one to shy away from controversial decisions and was willing to stand by his beliefs.

Corgan concluded by acknowledging that the decision to push Tyrus may have been controversial, but he stands by the idea that “controversy creates cash.” He highlighted that the relationship with Tyrus had brought financial success, even if it came with its fair share of challenges and criticisms.

Overall, Corgan’s interview shed light on the thought process and motivations behind giving Tyrus a world title run in the NWA. It showcased a human side to the decision-making process in professional wrestling and reiterated Corgan’s willingness to take risks and stand by his convictions.
